Her book shares her journey of learning to embrace uncertainty where she once craved control\, as her blooming confidence replaced the once-blurred lines of her identity.\nIt was through her daughters that Sanjenis says she first began to feel seen\, and she found her strength reflected in the mirror of their love. As a mother\, she vowed to raise daughters who know themselves deeply — unafraid to voice their opinions\, lead with conviction\, trust their intuition\, and set boundaries. Women who make bold\, beautiful choices that are entirely their own\, and walk away from what doesn’t serve them — even\, and perhaps most especially\, when it isn’t easy.\nSanjenis calls herself living proof that no matter how put together your life may seem — or even truly be — sometimes things have to fall apart\, or at least shift\, to make room for a kind of growth you never could have imagined. Because as scary as it feels\, life begins at the end of your comfort zone-and only then can you truly find yourself.\nAdulthood\, as Sanjenis has come to learn\, is a never-ending coming-of-age story.\nPlease register in advance. Ticket price of $15 includes a signed copy of the book. Seat-only tickets are $7.\nDanielle Sanjenis is a crystal healer\, certified yoga instructor\, and — first and foremost — a Girl Mom. She has written a series of children’s books inspired by her daughters and created PinkMoonwater gem oils and affirmation cards\, incorporating her devotion to self-care\, guidance\, and empowerment.\nSanjenis divides her time between Easton and New York City with her husband and two beloved dogs as each of her daughters embark on their own journey. She surrounds herself with all things French. \nShare this:\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n Pinterest\n Like this:Like Loading...
