People say ...
The Carla Marie with You-nicorn
Bethany Crouch, CBS Good Morning Sacramento
"As I read You-nicorn, I am heartened, seeing glimmers & reflections of some of the self work I've embraced along my journey. I love the personalized path your book takes, inviting delicious, if at times uncomfortable, introspection. It is your accessibly raw, open, encouraging, all at once gentle and playfully pushy invitation toward something more.
I celebrate your inclusion of mental health; a crucial piece of the deep dive into self awareness, self acceptance and self love. It would serve us, every one, the observance of the mind. The quieting. The juicy spaciousness for new."
Carla Marie, 106.1 KISS Seattle & Side Hustlers Podcast
"Seriously, where has Danielle been all of my life?! Reading YOU-Nicorn was partially me saying 'Oh my god. YES. EXACTLY!' and also me saying 'oh, so THAT'S why I feel like this?' YOU-Nicorn is that best friend you didn't know you needed and Danielle is an absolute gem of a writer and human."
SJ Hendricks, Peak Story Reviews
"[Danielle is] humble, wise, and funny. She never claims to be an expert even though she clearly is, and she is consistently kind, resourceful, and authentic."
If you feel like your life could be better and more focused, but regular self-help books aren’t your thing, YOU-NICORN is the book for you.
Kirkus calls it “A frank, funny self-help book perfect for those who view the genre with a healthy bit of skepticism."
YOU-NICORN is an illustrated 30-day, step-by-step program to help you get a better perspective on your thoughts, build healthy relationships, clarify your goals, and find the path to get there. It’s full of no-nonsense practical tools that will help you wherever you are in your awesome journey of life -- tools that you can start using today to make every tomorrow better.
In a little under an hour every day for just 30 days, you can uncover the life your heart wants for you. You’re worth it.
With the help of the book, you’ll work through common blocks like limiting beliefs, but also compassionately touch on some territories like depression and substance abuse, all while having fun in an irreverent book that’ll have you scribbling in the margins with revelations about yourself and others. You’ll read about the lives of dozens of inspiring people (including Bob Ross!) who have struggled and succeeded where you can, too!
Since numerous studies have shown that people follow programs better in a group, Danielle offers a free bi-annual coaching group where you’ll meet and work with like-minded, positive people.
The book comes with lots of extras, downloadable worksheets on her website, supplemental resources, and even a free goal workshop.

You don't have to know what you want. This book will help you find the path to building a satisfying life.
What IS the book?
It's a fun and engaging illustrated book to be completed in 30 days, with one exercise per day.
Every day includes a thought-provoking (and often funny) lesson, a real life story, and a daily exercise. The exercises take between 10 and 40 minutes.
What ISN'T the book?
It's not a planner. It's not a new time management strategy. It's not a journal. It will not give you rock-solid abs in 30 days. It will not call your mother for you (though it may get you off the hook for not calling her).
It's really fun, but it's also really thought-provoking. It's playful, yet important.
Why do you need this book RIGHT NOW?
Time is tickin’ my friend
We’ve got no time to lose here on this massively and rapidly spinning planet, and as far as any of us know, we have only one life… and that life is confusingly and unpredictably brief. It’s a tough truth, since most of us have a lot more to do than we’ve done, and we’re running out of time to do it.
Just the other day, a truck crossed the double yellow lines into my lane, and my first thought was “OMG NOT NOW! I’M STILL WORKING ON MY BOOK!” Thankfully, he swerved and I narrowly missed having a messy draft published posthumously.
What “but I haven’t…” flashes into your mind when you are faced with your mortality? Gone to India? Eaten petite fours in Versailles? Made peace with your family? Written a screenplay? Heard the scrambling of dachshunds at a wiener dog race?
It’s important. It’s important not to let more days sneak by while you’re doing something mundane just to pay the bills or fulfill some externally-designated obligation.
Professional Reviews

"A guide promises to help readers get out of ruts and start living more authentic, fulfilling lives.
At age 35, Vincent looked like she had made it, at least professionally. She had a six-figure job at the Oprah Winfrey Network, but her work didn’t excite her, and her personal and inner lives were the 'equivalent of a stagnant pond.' So she embarked on an intense journey of self-discovery and self-help and was able to turn her life from ho-hum into something far more satisfying. Now, in her manual, she offers a crash course for others who are looking to change their lives but aren’t sure how or where to begin. Vincent freely (and refreshingly) acknowledges that many, including herself, are skeptical about self-help mumbo-jumbo and openly declares that 'this book is for cynics.' But she nonetheless urges readers to give her monthlong program a try, tackling a single chapter and its accompanying action steps per day. Each short, easy-to-digest section focuses on a different challenge or roadblock, such as success, mental health, friendships, forgiveness, and meditation, and the daily steps are meaningful but not so ambitious as to be overwhelming. Rather than demanding that readers transform their lives overnight, the author suggests low-commitment but still impactful activities like writing down a situation they’d like to alter and brainstorming solutions or putting together a list of daily affirmations. The result is a sort of Whole30 diet for life, a plan meant to jump-start readers on the path to wellness. ... It’s a bit of a wild ride at times, but her sheer enthusiasm, combined with her quirky, conversational style and the volume’s charming, uncredited illustrations, makes this an enjoyable and often thought-provoking read.
A frank, funny self-help book perfect for those who view the genre with a healthy bit of skepticism."
