Piece of Work with Danielle Tantone
Piece of Work with Danielle Tantone is a podcast about resilience, real life, and the messy, meaningful work of becoming who we’re meant to be.
Hosted by nurse, author, and resilience coach Danielle Tantone, this show blends honest solo reflections with thoughtful conversations and interviews about life, health, healing, and growth — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Through personal stories, real-time processing, and practical insight, Danielle explores the moments that shape us: relationships, parenting, recovery, identity shifts, purpose, and the courage it takes to keep evolving.
If you’ve ever felt like both a Piece of Work and a Work in Progress, you’re in the right place. Because you are also a Work of Art, still unfolding...and you are not alone.
New episodes weekly on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon, and wherever you listen.
