Journeys Of Women Portrait Series: Dannielle Petschl

GROWTH LEADER

What does it mean to build a legacy?

It’s not about the money you leave behind or the titles you hold.

It's about:

 ❤️ The love you nurture.

 ✨ The resilience you model.

 🕊️ The quiet strength you pass down to the next generation.

This is Dannielle Petschl.

The only girl on her high school boys’ wrestling team, she learned to challenge herself with grace and grit.

Years later, she stayed in a marriage that wasn’t built on truth so her children could have what she never did — a father.

She was left with two toddlers and $14.73 in the bank.

But rather than give up, Danielle rebuilt — step by step — creating not just stability, but peace.

She has navigated depression with medication and grace, which is why she believes you must show compassion to those with the biggest smiles—because you never know the battles they fight.

Today, she sees her boys — now young men who quietly help without being asked — and knows her legacy is secure.

It lives in their character.

It lives in their hearts.

Her journey is a reminder of what true strength looks like —

and I’m profoundly grateful for the trust she placed in me to reflect it.

Her Words About the Experience —

"It was time to update my headshot. I’m lucky enough to know many talented people who do photography. 

I choose Taru for many reasons but most of all her heart and passion. She knew how to get me out of my own head and she captured me in a way that I never imagined. If you are a female looking to feel empowered, beautiful, brave, inspired, Taru will do this and so much more. She will be sharing photos of our session next week on her page. 

Thank you Taru for making me feel so comfortable and confident.”
