Vegas isn’t just glitz, glam, and the Strip—it’s people rebuilding, rethinking, and rising.

In this episode of Pursue Vegas, we sit down with speaker, creator, and all-around powerhouse Danny J for a real conversation about reinvention, mental health, and what it means to come home to yourself… especially when everything around you changes.

Danny’s story isn’t linear—and that’s what makes it powerful. She started in fitness, built a thriving online business before it was trendy, then pivoted into real estate, e-commerce, and public speaking. But behind all the wins? A woman who’s learned how to keep showing up, even when life flips the table. “If I find myself slipping into old patterns, I have tools and people and community and ways that I can get back to center.”

We get into what it’s like to rebuild from scratch—whether that’s after a breakup, a business shift, or just waking up to the fact that the version of you that got you here isn’t the one that’s going to take you where you’re going.

Danny also opens up about how the pandemic changed the way we connect—personally, professionally, and digitally. From the eerie stillness of the Strip in 2020 to the loud return of networking events today, Danny reflects on the loneliness epidemic so many are still quietly navigating.

“There’s a pandemic of depression and anxiety for all of our youth and adults.”

Now, she’s focused on giving back locally—whether it’s showing up in schools, speaking on stages, or creating safe spaces for conversations that matter.

This one’s for the women reinventing themselves, the creators finding their voice again, and anyone learning how to start over—with grace, grit, and a little bit of fire.

Key Takeaways:

• Reinvention is never one-and-done—it’s a life skill.
• Mental health isn’t a luxury; it’s a priority. And healing looks different for everyone.
• Vegas is becoming more heart-driven—and women like Danny J are helping lead the way.
• Digital connection saved a lot of us, but real community is where the real magic happens.
• You can begin again, no matter how many times you've had to.
