Danielle Calhoun is an Identity & Reinvention Coach, speaker, author, and transformational leader who helps accomplished women navigate the space between who they have been and who they are becoming.
Drawing from more than 20 years of experience in human resources, leadership, organizational development, and coaching—as well as her own journey through burnout, caregiving, identity shifts, and reinvention—Danielle understands that sometimes the life that once fit us no longer does. Her work creates space for women to release the roles, expectations, and identities they've outgrown and intentionally rise into their next chapter with greater clarity, joy, and purpose.
As the founder of Danielle Calhoun Official, LLC, Danielle is the creator of the proprietary ASCEND Framework™and The She Ascends Experience™ — Becoming Her: A 12-Month Journey of Reinvention, Joy, and Purpose, her signature private coaching experience for women ready to reclaim themselves and create what comes next.
Her work extends beyond individual coaching through corporate wellness and organizational development, workshops, and speaking engagements, where she brings her unique perspective on identity, burnout, well-being, leadership, and sustainable transformation to organizations and audiences.
Danielle holds an MBA and multiple professional certifications, including SHRM-CP, Certified Positive Psychology Coach, Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®), Happy for No Reason™ Certified Trainer, and Certified Health Coach.
She is also the creator and host of The She Ascends Circle Lounge™, a YouTube channel and podcast creating space for honest conversations about the things women experience, carry, question, and too often don't say out loud.
At the heart of Danielle's work is a simple belief:
You don't have to return to who you were. You have permission to become who you're meant to be.
Through coaching, speaking, storytelling, and community, Danielle invites women to honor what has been, courageously choose what comes next, and ASCEND.
