107: From Broke & Broken to Booked & Blooming – How Dahna Veness Rebuilt Her Life & Business

In this episode of Talk Tovey To Me, Jess and Meg sit down with Dahna Veness—a single mother who once struggled with self-doubt, financial hardship, and limiting beliefs, and who has now transformed into a thriving entrepreneur, fully booked brow specialist, and Reiki practitioner.

Dahna shares her inspiring journey of starting with nothing, taking courageous steps to invest in herself, and learning to overcome the mindset blocks that held her back. From receiving a psychic’s prediction that she was destined for success, to building a brand that combines inner healing and outer beauty, her story highlights the power of resilience, authenticity, and aligned action.

If you have ever felt stuck, uncertain, or convinced your goals were out of reach, Dahna’s transformation will remind you that the greatest barrier is often yourself.

Press play to discover how choosing self-belief, authenticity, and aligned action can create lasting success in both business and life.
