Hey, ya’ll! I’m Danielle.

Hi there, Danielle here, and let me tell you, I wear a ton of hats—and I love each one! My life’s a colorful mix of experiences, and I’m excited to share a slice of my world with you.

By day (and often by night), I’m the founder of MOTHERboard® and the Motherboard Foundation I also hit the stage as a professional speaker and pen thoughts for Forbes.com via the Forbes Coaches Council. Oh, and I recently launched a workbook, “Ready, Set, Goal Setting!: 12-Month Workbook For Career-Driven Women”, now up for grabs on Amazon!

Navigating the realms of education, universities, and human resources has opened my eyes to the unique challenges faced by working moms and their workplaces. Having wrestled with the tug-of-war between being a super mom and a committed employee myself, I felt driven to tackle the burnout beast head-on. What began as a humble Instagram page has blossomed into MOTHERboard®—a thriving empire dedicated to empowering working mothers across the nation. We offer tools, training, and resources to create work environments where moms can truly shine. And guess what? People are noticing! Our efforts have been spotlighted in Medium, Forbes, Yahoo! News, and HuffPost.

On a personal note, I’m an Okie living in Tulsa. I’m a daughter to the best parents, wife to an incredible guy, mom to an awesome daughter, and have been a foster mom to 30 kids and counting since 2016. Yes, our home is a bustling hub of love and chaos but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m a die-hard Oakland Raiders fan, bleed orange for Oklahoma State University (go Pokes!), and have a penchant for audio thrillers and dramas—perfect for those hectic commutes.

Through my newsletter, you’ll get a fun mix of everything—my personal adventures, top reads, sage advice, and a behind-the-scenes look at building startups and advocating for social change. It’s a peek into my life, and I hope it sprinkles some inspiration, giggles, and support into yours.

Alongside tales of my personal journey, you'll get the scoop on becoming a pivotal force for parents, caregivers, and visionary employers. We’re all about bringing you the raw data, actionable insights, and relevant updates that drive change in homes, workplaces, and beyond.

Thanks for joining me on this amazing ride. Together, we’re not just surviving—we’re thriving, making each moment count in this wild, wonderful life. Let’s keep making waves for working moms and the vibrant communities they uplift!
