Big Stuff With Danielle Colley
You know who's going through BIG STUFF? Literally everyone. But it's how you handle it that makes the difference.
Award-winning author and life coach Danielle Colley gets real about the relentless expectations we put on ourselves, the comparison trap, and the gap between how life looks and how it actually feels.
For ambitious women who may be crushing their goals but are feeling crushed by them. Conversations that matter. A little advice, a little inspiration, and a lot of humanness. No toxic positivity - just raw honesty about what it really takes to thrive.
If you're burnt out from achieving everything or tired of pretending it's all fine, this is for you. Because life should feel GOOD to live.

What happens when the thing you've built your entire life around suddenly disappears?
Cooper Chapman was a top 100 professional surfer living what looked like the dream, traveling the world, sponsored by major brands, representing his country since age 14. But beneath the surface, his self-worth was being affected on a deeper level. Every competition result, every sponsorship deal, every sticker on his surfboard determined whether he felt worthy or worthless.
Then at 22, at the peak of his career, his major sponsor dropped him without warning. He went from making $50K a year doing what he loved to working 50-hour weeks digging holes on construction sites just to afford his next competition. After a powerful moment with his sister, he began to pave a new path.
Today, Cooper's Good Human Factory has transformed over 10,000 lives across Australia. His revolutionary 1% Good Club, based on just 14 minutes of daily meditation and gratitude has generated over 1 million moments of gratitude.
In this episode, we talk about finding identity beyond achievement, why losing everything can lead to purpose, and how giving just 1% of your day to meditation and gratitude can rewire your brain for positivity. Cooper shares his five core values of responsibility, gratitude, empathy, mindfulness, and kindness and opens up about imposter syndrome, resilience, and building peace of mind from the inside out.
