Welcome to Unicorns Eat Pancakes

Hi there! I’m Dani, and I’m so excited to welcome you to Unicorns Eat Pancakes—an online space where we celebrate the beauty of embracing every part of our journey.

You might be wondering: What’s with the name? Well, it all started as a reminder that it’s okay to indulge in the things that bring you joy. For me, that meant no food, like carbs, was off limits. But as I grew, so did the meaning behind it. Now, Unicorns Eat Pancakes represents more than just treating yourself—it’s a reminder to show up for yourself, even when the road gets tough.

And boy, how the road has gotten tough several times in my life. But I’m getting several blog posts ahead of myself.

This space is where I’ll share my personal story of running, recovery, and continual growth. For me, these three pieces of my life—running, sobriety, and personal development—are so intertwined. Running allows me time to focus and provides emotional release. Recovery teaches me to take life one day at a time. Personal growth pushes me to be better every day.

If you’re here, you’re likely someone who’s ready to make progress. Whether you’re looking to lace up your running shoes, take your first step toward sobriety, or simply commit to a mindset of growth, this space is for you.

Expect to find inspiration, practical tips, and stories that remind you: you don’t have to do it all perfectly—you just have to keep going.

So, let’s take this journey together. Grab your favorite treat (whether it’s pancakes or something else that brings you joy), and let’s embrace the beautiful, messy, powerful work of becoming the best versions of ourselves.

Welcome to the community. I’m so glad you’re here.
