Navigating Grief And An Introduction To The Enneagram with Danielle Bennett

On this episode I sit down with the incredible, Danielle Bennett. Danielle is a poet, communicator, and educator, who currently works in communications at an education non-profit in Los Angeles. 

Danielle has a Masters in Education from Loyola Marymount University, where she wrote her thesis on arts education as a venue for social justice. Her work has also been featured in multiple podcasts and publications.

On the show today Danielle shares one of her most well received pieces of written work to date, a poem called She, which has influenced thousands since it was first shared with the public three years ago. She discusses the inspiration for this poem, as well as the journey she went on to get to where she is now as a poet, a teacher, and a communications professional. Danielle also opens up about her experience of walking through the most painful season of her life in 2018, and shares some comforting words of advice and encouragement for those walking through grief and burn out. Before we wrap up Danielle and I dive a little bit into the Enneagram and she shares a brief summary of what it’s all about it, and the role that it has played in her own life.  EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  www.mandyblack.org/podcast/daniellebennett CONNECT WITH DANIELLE: www.missdaniellebennett.com missdbennett Instagram STORY OF HER COMMUNITY:  www.instagram.com/storyofherpodcast
