Danita likes to talk. A lot.
She also likes to listen — to the undercurrents, the half-said things, the gut punches disguised as questions.
Think of her as the wild aunt or rogue cousin you’d accidentally trauma-dump on during a wedding smoke break. She’s not here to fix you. She’s here to say the thing you’ve been avoiding — with just enough sarcasm to keep it human, and just enough tenderness to make you feel safe doing it.
She speaks about what most people avoid:
Living with your whole soul.
Leaving relationships that feel safe but wrong.
Self-healing. Nervous system honesty.
Intuition. Travel. Taking risks. Feeling too much.
Why we ghost ourselves.
Why we pretend we’re fine.
Why we keep asking for signs when we already know.
She started Dusty Roads as a place to answer real, raw, anonymous questions — like ChatGPT with a nervous system and a dark sense of humor. There’s no step by step, no formulas, just her own lived experience and a deep curiosity for what makes us crack open, stay stuck, or finally set ourselves free.
Whether it’s on stage, in a voice note, or over a shared cup of spilled tea — Danita speaks the kind of truth that makes you laugh, squirm, and maybe leave your marriage,
or stay in one you were already walking out of.
In the best possible way.

about Danita
the now
One day, Danita woke up and knew, it was time to really start living. And so she did.
Inspiring others to "get to know themselves at such an intimate level that they can see humor in the world around them and begin to laugh at the ridiculousness that is life, or as she puts it, smacked in the soul with the realities of who you’ve been and who you are going to be, and know that you are awesome.”
At the heart of it is the commitment to unravel the mysteries of living with less scowling and more howling (in laughter!). The purpose is rooted in inspiring others to admit the deepest, darkest, filthiest parts of themselves to, in turn, come to love the brilliance of who they are and allow for the incredibly wonderful possibilities waiting for them.
the past
But before that morning, Danita spent 2 decades exploring what it means to map subconscious connection between beliefs, core injuries, the hidden parts of self, intuition, natural cycles of life, the body’s somatic response and the physical system through health and movement. During her 20s and early 30s, Danita tried on a number of different ‘suits’ while she managed a family construction business and it’s investment portfolio. She holds a masters degree in counseling psychology and while accepted in to a Doctoral program found through her experiences that the true strength of self and authenticity comes from exploring within. She is a former provisional member of the College of Alberta Psychologists.
What's the point?
"To live."
Through storytelling and hearing others sing their song, Danita inspires others to explore how to unlock what it means to live their life, their way, for them, as them.
"Living begins when we fearlessly dive in to who we are - and come up laughing."
