An unforgettable journey of self-love, forgiveness, and transformation
As seen on
My name is Danette May, and my rise began in 2012…
Just a few months earlier, I’d experienced a nightmare that no mother should ever have to suffer through…
...I lost my sweet, innocent baby boy during childbirth.
Unfortunately, this was only the beginning of my downward spiral. Over the next several months I fell into a severe depression, got divorced from my husband, and went nearly bankrupt, having just $47.63 to my name, which I found searching around the house just so I could afford to feed my daughters.
To say it was the low point of my life is an understatement.
A few months into my depression, I went for a walk which ended up being a pivotal moment for me. During that walk, I had a moment of overwhelming clarity.
Option A
This path would let my past control my future. It would replay the “victim” story over and over, convincing me that I wasn’t worthy of achieving my goals and aspirations.
It would prevent me from saying, doing, and thinking the things I needed to do to create a truly extraordinary life.
Option B
This path would allow me to thrive in the present moment, release the trauma of my past and instead of suffering, use my story as fuel to create a better future.
It would help me discover my true purpose in life and manifest love, peace, and abundance nearly effortlessly!
From that day on, I dedicated my life to discovering the REAL me, hidden behind the layers of guilt, pain, and self judgement. I decided to dig deep and pull out the powerful woman I knew was hiding within me.
I decided to listen to my body and focus on eating healing foods, using healing movement on a daily basis, and adopt a healing mindset...
I decided to let go of my past and focus on what I wanted my future to look like…
I decided to step into radical self love and stop beating myself up for the struggles of my past. I realized that every experience I had, even the hardships, held lessons that would fuel my growth.
Little by little, my life began to turn around. My business began to grow, my confidence began to improve, and my happiness began to skyrocket.
What I discovered during my rise has since changed the lives of millions of women around the world. Having started off as a certified personal trainer and nutritionist, I’m now the founder of Mindful Health and The Rise Movement, which together have transformed the physical, mental, and emotional lives of MILLIONS of women worldwide.
Plus I’ve authored multiple best-selling books, including 7 Day Jumpstart, Bikini Body Detox, and Bikini Body Recipes.
I’ve also been a fitness model for US Magazine and Women’s Health Magazine, and I’ve placed in the top 10 for a World Bikini Championship, just MONTHS after giving birth to my 3rd child. In fact, I was one of the oldest competitors there!
Plus I’ve been a frequent guest on National TV, including Access Hollywood Live, CBS, NBC, Hallmark, and many other TV stations. I’ve also worked with some of the top fitness professionals in the industry including Jillian Michaels and George St. Pierre.
You see… I discovered the secret which shows you how to use the “muck” of your life to transform your circumstances and step into a purpose-filled life of health, abundance, and peace. This unique approach has transformed the lives of MILLIONS of women across the world, and it can transform yours too.
Right now, there’s greatness inside you. It may be hiding beneath layers of doubt, uncertainty, and even fear.
Maybe you’re dealing with past trauma like I was. Maybe you were told you would never amount to anything… that you weren’t good enough. Or maybe you find yourself falling victim to the negative limiting beliefs the media so often portrays about women.
Regardless of your past, I’m here to tell you there’s a life FAR beyond what you ever thought possible.
This book shows you how to expand beyond your current boundaries and experience a sense of radical self-love, belief, and manifestation that knows no bounds.
I’ll show you how to achieve the NEXT level of growth in your life, helping you step into the fullest expression of yourself so you can live a life without limitations!

We’ve teamed up with an AMAZING charity called Charity Water. This revolutionary charity helps bring clean drinking water and safer living conditions to poverty-stricken villages throughout the world. We’re in the midst of a 650 million person epidemic, leaving these villages without access to clean drinking water.
They’re being forced to drink muddy, bug-infested, contaminated water that is making them sick. Women and children travel up to 7 miles, into dangerous crocodile-filled rivers with children being snatched up in front of their mothers, just to survive.
The horrors they face on a daily basis are things we could never even fathom, and with your help, we can stop this tragedy from happening!
Our goal is to donate a $100,000 to this amazing charity in 2018. We’ll be giving $1 for each book sold, and a substantial portion of our live event ticket sales. That means YOUR book purchase directly improves the lives of people in need! Together we’ll help over 3,000 people, especially the women and children of these tribes!
So come rally with me. We are blessed beyond belief, and I invite you to join me in helping these villages who so desperately need our help!
