"If a calling for more joy and freedom is lurking under your skin, you will find her tale entertaining, revelatory, instructive, and well worth reading."

-Srikumar Rao, head of The Rao Institute, elite coach, TED speaker, and best-selling author of Are You Ready to Succeed and other books.



To truly live with meaning, we must explore a place more exotic than the farthest corners of the planet-the depths of our inner being. It is only in these depths that we discover the truth of who we are and the enormity of our power. Atlas of Being guides you as you answer the call of your inner being to create your most extraordinary life.​​

Join Danielle on the adventure of a lifetime as she explores the hidden corners of the globe and the farthest reaches of the human spirit. After winning the biggest trial of her career, Danielle suddenly quits her law firm. Exhausted from trial, Danielle has no energy to swat away the Voice, which has been plaguing her to notice that despite having achieved success by all external measure, she is uninspired to live her life.

Surrendering to the Voice's question, "Where are you?" she realizes she isn't where she wants to be. Danielle has no idea what comes next except that she is about to embark on the biggest adventure of her life-traveling the world to find herself.

With a backpack slung over her shoulder Danielle travels six continents, in each peeling off a layer of who she thought she was. From hiking the Ho Chi Minh trail in Vietnam to sitting in indigenous ceremony in rural Colombia, Danielle explores the true nature of humanity and how to show up authentically in the world.

The end of each chapter offers reflection exercises to access your own "aha" moments and insights that will forever transform your life.
