Today we’d like to introduce you to Danielle Turner.
Hi Danielle, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I am Danielle Turner, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Transformational Self-Care Coach, Best-selling Author, and Podcast Host. I am the CEO of Inner You Clinical Services LLC. Inner You Clinical Services LLC was born in 2018 after going through my own mental health challenges and feeling that I did not receive the services I truly needed to heal. Inner You Clinical Services is a place where individuals can feel heard, validated, seen, and understood while working through challenging mental health issues and trauma. It was important for me to be able to provide therapeutic services to the community that would be beneficial and make an impact. I also wanted individuals to be able to get what they need out of therapy to help them heal by working with a therapist that was relatable. Working through my own mental health challenges taught me the value of self-care. Self-care became a part of my every day, and I wanted to further my services to include helping others work through barriers to their own self-care challenges. In 2021 I began one-to-one self-care coaching to my list of services I provide. I also started The Purple Butterfly Podcast, which is a weekly podcast where I discuss topics related to overall wellness, mental health, and of course self-care with weekly guest.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My journey to better mental health and overall wellness was not a smooth road. The biggest struggle was learning to take care of myself first and being a priority to me. Once I learned the value of self-care and the positive impact it had, I knew that I needed to share this with others. Therefore, I felt one way to get the message out was with a podcast. Starting The Purple Butterfly Podcast has been a struggle at times. Some of the struggles have been learning the podcast process, changing and reworking my editing process, and working through what would make the best listening experience. With lots of trial, error, restarting, resetting, and redoing, The Purple Butterfly Podcast is on the road to greatness. The podcast has become my baby despite the challenges. It has been a great learning experience and I continue to learn, grow and seek assistance with making the podcast the best it can be.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Inner You Clinical Services LLC?
Inner You Clinical Services LLC is a place of transformation and growth. I use purple butterflies in the logo as well as for the name of my podcast (The Purple Butterfly Podcast) because butterflies struggle to transform into something beautiful. My business has three components, one, healing through mental health/trauma challenges with therapeutic mental health services, two, learning barriers to self-care and development of an achievable self-care plan with self-care coaching and three learning tips, tricks, and skills on self-care and mental health through The Purple Butterfly Podcast. All components although having different approaches have one common theme, transformation.
I specialize in self-care and often times individuals will see me out in the community and may not know my name but associate me as the self-care lady. What sets me apart is that I am relatable. I struggled for many years with depression and anxiety. For many years I did not prioritize myself or care for myself. Being able to be transparent with my clients whether therapy clients, coaching clients or when talking with guest on the podcast has set me apart because it has helped build trust in the value of self-care because I have been in their shoes and know the blueprint to heal and take care of self.
I am most proud of three things within my brand. The Ultimate Inner You Self-Care Workbook I created, which is a 60-day workbook to help individuals jumpstart their self-care journey. Becoming a best-selling co-author in the anthology Blessed Not Broken, Vol 4. The Power of Letting Go. However, my proudest accomplish to date has been creating The Purple Butterly Podcast which has weekly guest that provide insight, tips, tricks, and tools on overall wellness and self-care. We discuss various topics from finances, love, mental health, mindset, beauty, boundaries and so much more. A new episode is published every Sunday at 8:00 am eastern time.
What do you think about happiness?
Taking care of myself, doing the things that I enjoy, spending time with my significant other, and family time makes me happy. Seeing the growth in my clients and knowing that I can be the voice for others who may have difficulty speaking up for themselves through my podcast makes me elated. Oh, and the beach, how can I forget that, the beach makes me very happy. All these things make me happy because it means I am filling up my cup so that I can pour into others.
