Hey, I’m Danna Gift.
A former self-help junkie turned Christ-led storyteller.
A content creator, podcast host, and creative entrepreneur living life one surrendered “yes” at a time.
But my journey didn’t start on the mountaintop—it started in the mess.
I spent years chasing fulfillment in all the wrong places.
I looked for it in: my career, my relationships, my followers, my net worth
my self
ME.ME.ME
I wasn't always this selfish...over the years of hurt and betrayal I built up a wall to protect myself and promised to stop being the 'nice girl' because:
I didn't trust men after witnessing my father cheat on my mother multiple times.
I had sisterhood wounds from when my boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend.
I was heavily bullied in high school - getting jumped because I was 'different' until my parents finally allowed me to home school.
And thus began my 'self-educate' / 'self-help' era
He wasn't a bad man we just couldn't get along.
It almost seems strange to say this but I almost wish he cheated so our divorce would make sense, but instead we tried hard to make it work - damaging each other's self worth throughout the years.
After I went through that heart-wrenching divorce, I became a flight attendant to run away from my problems.
I masked my reality with toxic positivity and desperately sought a way to feel better. I began to compete in fitness competitions, became a successful real estate agent, hit 140k followers on social media and if you were to have seen me online you'd have thought "wow, she's really winning"...
But the reality was..
What seemed healthy on the outside was really a way to punish myself to match the way I truly felt inside. Behind it all, I drank myself to sleep, I isolated, I tried to hustle my way to healing, I self-harmed, anything to keep me distracted from feeling the heartache..
And after 3 years - that’s where God met me.
I walked into a church for the first time in over a decade and immediately felt God speak. And the first thing He said to me was,
"Why did you leave me? Return."
I broke down in tears and hungrily searched for a way to reconnect with my Father.
But that journey wasn't easy either...
I found myself in hardcore legalistic & religion-focused Christian groups that made me feel judged for not being able to stop living in sin right away and I struggled to accept Jesus.
I was trying to develop a relationship with God but the harshness turned me away
and if I'm being honest - I wasn't ready to change my ways. God seemed nice but I thought to myself, wouldn't God want me to be 'happy'?
So I created my own version of a god within the New Age beliefs - manifesting, taking shrooms and other substances to 'open me up', and subconsciously sought to become my own god.
This path lead me down:
going bankrupt and had to sell my house
lack of purpose & consistent confusion
smoking weed every night for two years
and somehow I found myself in the same story - different font.
trying to fill a void.
Not happy, just distracted.
But in the midst of an ayahuasca journey, I peered over my shoulder to a demon who sat beside me for hours, staring at me longingly. I was terrified and yet I felt I was protected..
It was God, saving me from myself - ONCE AGAIN.
A year later, I have given up being lukewarm in the pursuit of holiness
and through the process of sanctification, I have now:
Gotten married to the man I lived with out of wed-lock for 3 years.
Gave up my bad habits of smoking, drinking, lust, porn, & sexual immorality.
Gave up 140k followers and started from zero - using my voice to honor His Kingdom.
Given up my lifelong dream of becoming 'famous' and I have dedicated my life to discipleship.
I NOW USE MY GOD-GIVEN GIFTS TO:
Show you the messy process of sanctification.
God led me to create a podcast and personal vlog that captures the unglamorous process of sanctification—the raw, real, day-by-day walk with God.
It’s where faith meets failure, trust wrestles with doubt, and breakthrough often looks like breakdown. It’s not polished. It’s not performative.
It’s just real.
