About our Guest:

Danielle A. Vann has always had a passion, scratch that, thirst for understanding people’s life stories and how those experiences are used as a benefit or detriment. Yet, it wasn’t until 2016 that she turned inward and realized her own story needed to be examined and healed after a series of major life shifts, specifically the death of two parents and nearly losing her middle daughter to kidney failure within the span of forty-five days. Some call those shifts “the dark night of the soul,” as they do feel as if there is no light left in the world. However, Danielle calls them “the light of the soul” because often, it isn’t until those challenging moments that the fullest expression of the person, the soul, shines! 

When Danielle set out to heal and fully thrive in the light of her soul, she longed for resources and support that felt intimately connected to her spirituality, mental, emotional, and physical well-being and path. Yet, no matter what she tried, outside of Meditation, she continually felt disappointed by what she found. Finally, taking her healing into her own hands, she found her true calling. 

Now, as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, renowned Life Coach to women, Master-Level Advanced Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, 100-hour Meditation Instructor through the IMMA, HeartMath Trauma-Sensitive Certified Practitioner, MSBR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) instructor, Sound Healing Therapist, Reiki Practitioner, Master-Level Emotional Intelligence Therapist, Emotional Freedom Tapping Practitioner, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) therapist, Positive Psychology practitioner, and trained in Energy Healing Medicine, Subconscious release, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Neuroscience, PTSD and Anxiety, Danielle has created the ultimate blueprint for getting your life together, healing, creating self-love and inner peace. 

This blueprint combines psychology, mind and spiritual healing, somatics, neuroscience, mindfulness, purpose work, and the development of emotional intelligence. It’s a total mind, body, and soul awakening through the principles of Eastern and Western beliefs and practices. This blueprint has served thousands of women as it has been uniquely tailored to their individual journeys.  

Danielle’s mission is to help women across the globe, whether it’s through teaching, speaking, her widely popular Instagram page @getyourlifetogethergirl, her in-person/Online Courses, 1:1 session, or on The Get Your Life Together, Girl Podcast, where you can find meditations, mindset resets, tools and practices, and fascinating conversations with other female therapist and coaches. 

Vann is also a nineteen-time intentional award-winning author. Prior to working in Mental Health and healing, she spent years as a scriptwriter, reporter, and evening/morning news anchor. Danielle earned an Oklahoma Broadcast Education Associate award, an Associated Press Award, and an Emmy nomination. 

Her love of storytelling led her into writing. While Vann started her publishing career as a children’s picture book author, she has expanded her genres to include Young Adult and Self-Help, which are her true passions. Her internationally award-winning Young Adult five-part series, The Whizbang Machine. Vann has received nineteen international and national awards and was named to the prestigious Texas Library Association’s Texas Bluebonnet longlist. She is also an inductee of the Texas Authors Institute of History, the only museum dedicated to preserving authors’ works and those who support writing and reading in Texas. In addition, Vann has penned two Personal Development/women’s motivational books entitled: Get Your Life Together, Girl & You Are Not Broken & Your Life Does Not Suck, which are forthcoming. Danielle is also the author of Gracie Lou & the Bad Dream Eater and The Very Tall Tale of Ranger, the Great Pyrenees & His Adorable Friend, Miss Keys. In addition, she co-authored the inspirational/self-help nonfiction book Building Faith Through a Carpenter’s Hand with The Learning Channel (TLC) and A&E’s celebrity carpenter Brandon Russell. Her daily writings are featured on the wildly popular Instagram page @getyourlifetogethergirl. 

Danielle has been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, iHeartRadio, USA Network Radio, Sirius Radio, and nationally syndicated radio and podcasts around the United States and Canada. Her work has been featured in Foreword Magazine, Publisher’s Weekly, Story Monster Ink, Mansfield Magazine, Mansfield Now, and at numerous book festivals, including the Bologna Italy Book Festival, the Book Expo of America, and BookCon. Her work has even been featured in the White House and the Halls of Congress in Washington D.C.

Larry is the author of the Amazon Bestselling book “Financial Planning Made Personal” and the also host of the Mitlin Money Mindset™ a podcast that reminds you to ask yourself “What did you do today that brought you joy?®”

In 2004 he founded Mitlin Financial, Inc. naming the firm memory of Larry’s wife’s grandfather, Mitchell, and his mother, Linda. During his career, Larry has found that a lot of industry terms and concepts can seem confusing to outsiders. That’s why he works with the families he serves to break down complex financial topics into easy-to-understand concepts.

In recognition of Larry’s significant contributions to his profession, he has received quite a few awards. In 2021, Larry was named to the Investopedia 100 Top Advisors in 2021 and was even more humbled to make their Top Ten list for 2022.

Outside the office, one of Larry’s greatest passions is raising awareness for mental health. He spent over 12 years serving on the National Board of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and sits on its financial and investment committees. With his wife, Denise, he has raised more than $1.7 million for the organization through the Keith Milano Memorial Fund. The fund was created in memory of his brother-in-law.

Larry values his family tremendously and his desire to do right by his wife and two sons drives who he is in and out of the office.
