Guiding you to live your life on purpose, claim your joy, be in your power and fully embrace the gifts this season of motherhood brings.

find your anchor

For when you’re feeling lost without your footing. The Mamas I talk to tell me how much they crave that sense of grounding again. They’re in a spiral of chasing their own thoughts, trying to take action, yet feeling depleted at the same time. They desperately want to move forward but they have no idea what that looks like or how to take the first step. We gently find your ground and carve out the pathway together.

relief from busy

Too often we rush around feeling like the more we do the more valuable we are, so we add more and more to our to-do list. Instead we’re left feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. It doesn’t have to be like this. And, frankly, as a Mama you just don’t have the literal time to keep going like this. You can break up with “busy” and still achieve and be all that you want to be. I’ll show you how.

joy expansion

I believe that when we’re feeling stressed we hold back on all our pain. And when we hold back on our pain we also hold back on our joy and that which gives us our full experience of life. In this season of life your presence matters. It’s the difference that will make all the difference to your energy, vibrancy, wellbeing and mothering. We reconnect you to your place of joy, so you can lead your life from there.

a brief introduction

DANIELLE BROOKER

Joy Activation Coach, Mama, Writer, Podcaster

Hi, I’m Danielle.

Joy Activation Coach, Mama, coffee snob, and sacred space holder.

I guide ambitious, busy and always-on Mamas (and those in ‘mothering roles’) to ditch their overwhelm and step into their joy.

I believe that joy is not just a nice to have, it’s a necessity – one that requires daily practice. And, unlocking ourselves from busy is the fastest and most sustainable way to experience a life that completely lights us up regardless of all the demands on your time and energy.

My pregnancy, birthing and mamahood journey catalysed a deepening of the work I do and I’m on a mission for Mamas to reclaim this powerful season of life and live in their fullness.

I’m the first to tell you that feeling bad is just as good for you as feeling good. It’s just that we’ve lost touch with feeling good. We spend too much time focused on our stress, our busyness and our overwhelm. Joy gets limited airtime in our lives – so when we come to wanting it, we don’t know how to experience it.

I offer one-to-one coaching programmes, group experiences, digital courses and very special in person events. I’m here to help your big-hearted, ambitious self, to unapologetically redefine mothering on your own terms and live your most joyful life.

get to know me more

  • I’m a Mama to a toddler and gave birth at home, after a mega global move about 10 weeks earlier.
  • I got started in coaching after a decade in government policy, economics and health charity roles. I was the one always putting my hand up for more trainings, workshops and mentoring. Those roles taught me how to think big, connect the dots, write effectively and take into account other people’s views.
  • I LOVE being in the kitchen, but I need plenty of spaciousness and have been learning new ways to cook a feast one-handed with baby on hip in this season of life!
  • One of my first jobs was at Maccas (that’s what Aussies love to call McDonalds) and I loved it. I still mop with the same technique I was taught at that job, precision and support for your back! I also haven’t been into a Maccas for about 15 years.
  • I’ve been reading personal growth books since I could read. I also used to love the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series. I think it was the adventure, problem-solving, team spirit of them that appealed so much.
  • I was born in South Africa, moved to Australia when I was nine, live in London for almost a decade and now reside in Sydney, Australia.
  • Living in London was a “pipedream”. Something I always imagined but it felt too distant for it to be real. I finally got sick of watching everyone else “do it” so packed my bags with very little savings and jumped on a plane. I’ve been here seven years now! I now consider myself to have two homes – London and Australia.
  • I’ve watched reruns of all ten Friends seasons at least ten times. I’m a combo Phoebe-Monica-Chandler.
  • I cry in most movies, the original Lion King included.
  • I can speak Japanese and lived there for a year teaching English. I started learning the language when I was ten and kept it up all through my university despite it being an elective only.
  • I bake the best choc chip cookies with the simplest recipe ever. Or, so I’ve been told.

WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY

Danielle is an empowering genuine and brilliant life coach. She has helped me reconnect with me, helped me tap into an inner power within me that I did not know I had. My coaching experience with her has been invaluable investment of resources, efforts and time.

Dima

In just a few sessions with Danielle I regained the confidence, motivation and self-understanding that has made a hugely positive and sustainable impact to my happiness and wellbeing.

Christian
Danielle step-changed the way I perceive and process my thoughts and the way I react inwardly and outwardly to testing situations. Her arsenal of easy-to-use tools and her accommodating, warm, considered and constructive coaching has made me a far calmer person and helped me practise greater tolerance and empathy in my everyday life.
 
Hannah

It has given me a feeling of strength to face my fears, but also, grounded me in a way that I can learn to accept and cherish who I am.

Daniela

I was looking for space to reconnect with myself and find some inner strength where I could rebuild and move forward with confidence again. As a result I felt permission to feel and accept whatever it was that I was feeling. I feel ‘me’ again.

Amanda

I feel like a different person. I would definitely recommend investing with The Daisy Patch. It has changed my life. I found it hard to show up in my  personal life and work. Now, I am able to confidently  show up and truly believe in my abilities. I also understand my strengths and understand how to use it to empower me in other aspects of my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Halima
I appreciate that Danielle is able to get me back to what we are supposed to work on. I like where she takes me. How she insists on places where I don’t even see that I am resisting. I have learned a lot, mainly to pay attention (to my emotions and my body) and to trust, that whatever comes was supposed to come. Danielle is a good companion to help you make progress.

They tell you not to tidy the house. Rest when the baby sleeps. Monitor sleep cycles, patterns and ‘awake’ windows. They tell you to take care of yourself, take a bath! Eat well! Call a friend! But when you’re at the limits of your physical, mental & emotional capacity these things all feel like an affront. A pushing when all you need is a softening. What if tidying the house is actually the best thing you could do for yourself right now? If tidying softened the tension, & made you feel that little bit clearer today? And what if sleeping, especially when your little one sleeps, is just the worst ever. Your head races even more and by the time you have eventually drifted off into deep deep slumber you’re awakened with a start – a cry, the post person knocking at your front door, the coffee machine burring in the kitchen. As a self-help lover, incessant learner, & hands-up-for-anything new & growth oriented person – not following all the advice is one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. Because, let’s face it – there’s just so much of it out there! It all looks and feels so inviting. Especially that person on Instagram who just posted holiday photos in Bali whilst holding their baby on their hip, cocktail in hand and grinning ear to ear. (Did you really sleep last night?). Advice is incredible. Necessary. Vital even for the fabric of your support system. BUT leaning on it too heavily, too often and mostly too blindly simply won’t get you the relief you are craving deep down in your body. It’s likely the reason why after a 6 month coaching program you still kept working late hours, crying to your boyfriend each night and forgetting to finally book in for that blood test you promised yourself would be your next best step to taking care of your health. The BEST possible advice is that which is filtered through your very own unique soul system. If you’re waking up tired, feeling exhausted with household responsibilities, forgetting things on your To-Do list, snapping at your partner, or finding that last hour of the day almost insurmountable on some days – chances are you are subconsciously trying to do it all & follow all the advice. 😉 You always know best. ❤

I get the nudge every year when it's time to surrender to the rapid pull of year end. To create more space in my calendar rather than being pulled into a whirlwind of busyness. To choose less autopilot and more intentionality. And it's the best practice I could ever do. For myself. For my little family. So from now until early 2024 the best way to connect is within my beautiful newsletter community or by booking in a coffee chat. ☕️ It's actually the best way to set yourself up for a fresh, vibrant, calm and joyful experience next year. Even if it feels like aggggeeesss away, when we have those pillars of support lined up in our diaries in advance it's incredibly relaxing for the nervous system. Let me know below - will we be having coffee soon? ☕️ 🥰✨️🩷 #Motherscircles #motherhoodcoaching #joyactivation #sydneymothers #lifecoach #postpartumsupport #postpartummentor #motherhoodmentor #mamajoy #mamatime

If I'm completely transparent - some days it feels like I don't get to do *anything* I
If I'm completely transparent - some days it feels like I don't get to do *anything* I "used to" be able to do since becoming a Mama. My long solo coffee dates spent journaling, writing, meeting and talking to creative strangers, planning or simply staring into space - vanished. But what I *do* get to do has a whole new energy about it. Intense. Powerful. Hard. Soft. Creative. Expansive. I get to bring my little person into my days. Full integration. Showing them how Mama finds her moments of calm, of creativity, of grounding. Sure, coffee shop dates truly are different. But when I've chosen to go with the flow of the day whilst still bringing them with me, that's when the true magic shows up. Why's this so important for you to hear today? Because motherhood brings up our most intense inner control freaks, in subtle ways you may not have noticed just yet. 👉 telling yourself you can't do something because you have your little person in tow 👉 feeling disconnected but not making any social plans 👉 stressing out about what to cook for dinner every day 👉 buying every possible book, course and toy that promises to make your parenting life more "conscious" and your little person more vibrant, creative, healthy and taken care of These are just some of the ways our inner control freak can mess with our days. 😉 Which one resonates most with you? Let me know below 👇 And if you're curious how releasing this control can soften your days, leave you feeling calm at bedtime and even ramp up how loved you feel in your relationship then sign up for my newsletter as I'll be writing much more on these topics. 😉🥰 #motherhood #controlfreak #consciousparenting #mamajoy #joyfulparenting #motherhoodcoach momlife #fulfilled fulfilledlife #consciuouscoach #joycoach #newmama #motherhoodjourney
Hi 👋 I’m Danielle. Mama, writer, Joy Coach, avid self-help reader, lover of travel, adventure and exceptional ☕️ I’ve been busy, stressed out, and burnt out. I’ve meditated, downward-dogged and avoided gluten. I’ve felt the best could ever imagine. And, I’ve felt the worst. I moved across the world to a city I’d never lived in, 6 months pregnant, in the middle of a global pandemic. All to take action towards my dreams. It was tough. And it was rewarding. I birthed my baby at home, with my partner holding me, literally. Entering motherhood was everything and nothing like I imagined. It’s pushed me beyond any emotional capacity I’ve ever been asked to experience. I’ve been on my knees sobbing on the bathroom floor not believing I could get up again. And I’ve been bursting with so much joy I thought my cheeks would explode. I’ve loved my partner and seen him in the most incredible light ever. And, I’ve resented him. I’ve grieved my ‘old life’ and I’ve cherished my ‘new’. I’ve had to return to my toolbox and give it an entire upgrade. One that meets me where I’m at right now. Motherhood is courageous. I’m here to take your hand and show you back to your place of safety and strength, so you can fully expand into this season of life. So you can live your most joyful life and feel your most vibrant self. Exciting updates coming in the next few months.

It was the UK Summer of 2017. I’d been dreaming BIG things for my business. I nervously cold-called a contact at a beautiful wellness brand, which happened to be Aussie but was expanding its UK presence. We had this incredible soulful, loving, high vibe chat. It felt so great to connect with someone who truly got what we were trying to create. We never actually met in person. We mostly emailed after that. Not even that much. Three or four times, tops. Little did I know that years later we would meet, in person, and she’d become one of my dearest besties – a business bestie, fast friend and soul sister. To me this story – while a little love note for my dear friend @lizspearsmarketing – is a reminder of how powerful intention setting and visualisation is, even if it doesn’t transpire exactly how you expect. I did work with that brand – for a couple of events and that was that. What I didn’t expect was to ‘acquire’ such an exceptional friendship through the experience. Even if I had to wait a few years for it. 😉 One thing Liz has really inspired in me is a sense of consistency and commitment to the magic within. And one way I’ve been honouring this is through a monthly update sharing with you how we can work together. This month: 1. I’m simplifying my coaching offerings big time, there are three main ways I can support you this month: pocket coaching, power session, or my signature 12-week one-to-one container. If you want to know more reply ‘YES!’. 2. There is lots of ‘newness’ brewing inside my coaching practice and I have lots of updates to share as the spring unfolds for me here in Oz. Expect big changes and exciting new ways to connect. 😉 If you’re also feeling a sense of newness brewing, or have a vision you want to bring to life, perhaps this is the month we work together. DM me for a coffee chat. #mamjoy #motherhoodcoaching #motherhoodsupport

I've always maintained JOY is a necessity and not just a nice to have. Something clients seem surprised at in our first few sessions when there's just so much other "more important" things to focus on. I couldn't possibly stop, turn my attention elsewhere, that feels frivolous, that wouldn't help me "get ahead" ... Yet they also share how clouded they're feeling about big decisions in their life, how everything is starting to feel overwhelming and they just don't know what that next step is or what it "should be". JOY is often overlooked because we think it comes easily, but in actual fact it's a muscle that requires consistent love, care and attention. Just as you would prioritise taking care of your body post partum, how at you taking care of your JOY? I love the practical guidance I share in my book Freedom From Busy because it still feels accessible to me in this very FULL season of life. 🫣😉🥰 I'm curious, what do you do to practice your JOY right now?

On a scale of 0-10, how much of a control freak are you? I used to get myself in the biggest tizz when things didn't go to plan. As a big planner, lover of organisation AND high achiever, things not following a perfect sequence = big fail (and me feeling out of control). Yet despite my best efforts to huff and puff my way back to certainty in those moments, inevitably they would leave me a crumbled stressed out mess. These days I'm 1000% better than I used to be BUT I still find my inner control freak surfacing... ... Like this morning when all I wanted to do was get a coffee and go to a Mothers' Circle. And my little person would not have a bar of it. 1.5hrs later I found myself still clutching to negotiations about getting into the car ... and then something beautiful happened ... An inner part of me saw the opportunity to RELEASE. Surrender to what was in front of me. Let go of the certainty for favour of whatever was to come next. I felt my whole body calm almost instantly. Sent a text to cancel my attendance at the Circle. Messaged my partner to release some sadness, ask for support and acknowledge Mama's tiredness (acknowledging my feelings is always a healthy release). And then I got to what was in front of me. Asked my little person what they needed. We walked along the street to look at some roadworks. We had a little morning tea picnic in the garden. We cuddled and giggled. And ... this Mama did get her coffee after all. Just not in the way (nor timing) she expected. 😉☕️ Being open to life's unpredictability is one of the sweetest gifts you could ever give yourself. And if you're feeling confronted by any of this or intrigued to give it a go, my book is full of practical tips for doing so 👌🎊✨️ Check out it out at www.freedomfrombusy.com or DM me

For any big change I've made in my life, the thing that's made the biggest difference to my stress levels, my follow through, my self belief, my joy, my energy has been this ... ... surrounding myself with the best sense of COMMUNITY and SUPPORT. Besties that raise me up, soul friends that continue to cheer me on no matter what and business buddies that just get the season I'm in. Then came MOTHERHOOD. And community and connection matter more than ever. I ALWAYS walk away from Mama meet ups feeling more nourished grounded and in my power. And I want the same for YOU. My Mama Joy Circles are a great place to start. ❤️✨️❤️✨️ Comment MAMA below if you too have craved this sense of community and connection. 🎊❤️🫶 Link in my profile for more details on Circles too. #motherhoodcircle #sacredcircles #motherhoodjourney #Sydneymotherscircle #connectionandcommunity #motherscommunity #mamahood #sydneyplaygroup #sacredmothering #joycoach #mamajoy #northernbeachesmamas #northernbeachesplaygroup #sydneymama #motherhoodcoach #mamatime

Is it really August already? I’m needing to constantly check my Google calendar of clock on my computer screen to orient me right now. The months feel fast, despite my best efforts to slow things down on the daily. My partner and I did a mid-year review a few weeks ago and it was soooo refreshing to take some time out of the everyday and check in with where things are right now, where we’ve come from, and where we’re heading. It’s a practice that is so grounding – and super helpful for orienting us in time and space too. 😉 Our biggest realisation was just how much we have moved through in the last six months (let alone the last two years). We committed to keeping things as simple as possible for the rest of the year and it feels so good to have a team ‘mantra’. Do you have a mantra for the rest of the year? Something that is guiding you back to your heart, your priorities and what matters most? You’re welcome to borrow ours. 😉 K E E P I T S I M P L E And, if you need a little guidance to ground yourself again, get clarity on your direction and feel refreshed this is just the month for us to connect. I’ve got even clearer on my coaching offers and how we can work together. Here’s how we can work together in August 👆 Drop me a DM or comment below with any questions. 🥰 #midyearreset #consciousparenting #motherhoodjourneys #Motherscircles #motherhoodcoach #natureledlife #natureledplay #northernbeachesmums #northernbeachescommunity #joyactivation #mamajoy #motherscircle #motherscoach #sydneymama #sydneylifecoach #londonlifecoach #joyinroutine #joyfulmothering #playgroupnorthernbeaches #playgroupsydney #community #sacredmotherhood #sacredcommunity
