Leading with Intuition, Building with Heart: Redefining Success with Dani Kagan

Success never looks like the version you planned, and that’s exactly where the magic exists. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I’m joined by Dani Kagan—entrepreneur, speaker, and co-founder of Mave & Chez— for a thoughtful conversation about evolving identity, creative risk-taking, and building a business that feels just as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. From the ten years she spent running event-based businesses to navigating pregnancy, a pandemic, and a personal need for reinvention, Dani shares how she followed a quiet gut feeling into something completely new: co-founding the first-ever luxury ergonomic slipper brand for women. This is a story about leaving behind what no longer fits, listening closely to the nudges that do, and learning how to lead with vision, clarity, and care. Here’s what we explore in this episode: ✨ The quiet but persistent signs that it’s time to pivot—and what it takes to trust them ✨ Why reinvention doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful ✨ How one phone call (and a shared frustration) led to a business idea with massive potential ✨ What it means to lead with intuition, not just ambition ✨ The difference between fear and resistance—and how to tell which one is speaking Dani’s journey offers a grounded look at what it means to build from alignment rather than urgency. Her insights remind us that you don’t need to wait for certainty to get started—and that you’re allowed to pursue something new, even when what you had was already good. 🎧 Listen now (insert link) Connect with Dani Kagan: Instagram: @dani.kagan Website: danikagan.com Brand: maveandchez.com | @maveandchez This episode is a permission slip to follow your instincts, let go of what’s no longer working, and build something that reflects who you are today, not who you used to be.    ✨ WORK WITH CHANA ROSS! ✨   Are you an ambitious woman who is a leader at work, at home or in the community and you are looking for support with overcoming perfectionism, determining your next right step, overcoming self-doubt and learning to advocate for yourself and fall in love with the next version of you?
