Uncomplicated Wisdom
My background is in interior design. I’ve always had a gift for transforming spaces and creating beauty and harmony. I love the ability to sense precisely what a space needs to be the best version of itself and how, once transformed, the people who occupy or enter the new space are also transformed.
When I began shifting the focus of my business by helping people reconnect with their inner beauty to create balance and harmony in their lives, not just their homes or businesses, I noticed that changing their inner worlds also transformed their outer worlds. Working with these individuals led to my own world expanding and evolving as well.
The life I once knew and cherished suddenly crashed upon me during my expansion and personal evolution, shattering into a million fragmented pieces I no longer recognized as part of myself. Through a shocking divorce, the grief of losing a beloved stepchild, massive financial loss, and a significant health battle, beauty, balance, and harmony were nowhere to be found. So, I set out on a journey, sifting through the ugly and complicated rubble of the reality that had become my life.
I had so many hugely complicated questions, so many thoughts about the nature of life, death, happiness, consciousness, grief, the afterlife, energy, souls, mindsets, light, dark, manifesting, health, healing, the supernatural, God, Source, The Universe, you name it, I searched it, I researched it, I tried every modality out there on for size, to see what worked and what didn’t work for me. Whenever I thought I would get closer to the answers, there was another perspective to discover and weed through, keeping me trapped in a constant survival mode of problem-solving. With so many options “out there” and schools of thought, it’s no wonder why the world is uncompassionately further divided, drained, and out of balance.
Through this journey of complicated lessons, I have experienced elevated, empowered, embodied, and deeply expanded insights of wisdom. This wisdom has provided the keys to unlock my most significant, personal, interior redesign, which I now share with those seeking their own transformation, beauty, and harmony.
I have designed these teachings to be simple, uncomplicated, and yet powerful. They will help you access your inner wisdom for healing, joy, and peace and enable your outer world to reflect the beauty and harmony of your inner design.
Transforming Spaces to transforming lives
Before forming her current portfolio, Dana was the owner of TISH Lifestyle. Her passion and talent for interior design, combined with her desire to inspire people to live their best lives, formed TISH's mission: To Inspire Self and Home. The retail storefront for TISH was located in a 200-year-old renovated barn outside of the Chicago suburbs. Along with the storefront, Dana hosted live events and workshops designed to help bring personal transformation to participants.
As Porch Time grew, so did the desire within the community to expand Porch Time and its reach. This led Dana to close down the retail side of the business and focus more on creating digital content that would reach the masses, and thus Soul Cool Inc. was born. From transforming spaces to transforming people!
