TikTok Star Danae Hays on Turning Childhood Anxiety into Confidence & Comedy

Amy’s guest today is the multi-talented content creator, influencer, singer-songwriter, comedian and TikTok star Danae Hays! Danae talks about her journey from softball player at Alabama to social media star to now recording a Country comedy album and developing her own 'one-woman show' with the various characters she's created over the years.

Growing up in Alabama, Danae had a passion for comedy – creating her own Saturday Night Live skits as a kid and being fascinated by video & editing. During the pandemic, she used that creative spirit to launch a TikTok filled with different characters inspired by her life which went viral overnight.

Like many comedians, Danae had some childhood trauma that played a role in her desire to make others laugh. She opens up about anxiety, OCD, being put on Zoloft at 11 years old, conversion therapy, and more. She also shares some very exciting news during '4 Things Gratitude.'

Enjoy this fun chat & have the day you need to have!!
