You may have heard Danielle's story before, or you may be new to her story.

A little bit about Danielle.

I absolutely adore her.

People always ask me when I tell them what I do, how do these people not know?

And I'm always protective of my storytellers when I hear that.

Danielle's story is such a clear example of what we call betrayal blindness.

You don't assume the worst about the person you love.

You assume they're going to work every day.

You assume your life is what it appears to be.

You don't assume they have a dungeon.

And while all of that was happening, Danielle was raising six kids, homeschooling them, running a household, showing up every single day trying to be the best mom and partner she could be.

When I was catching up with her recently, her new husband kept popping in and checking in on her as she was talking to me.

Just these small tender moments, making sure she was okay, it struck me how different that kind of love feels.

It was steady, it was present, it was safe.

And that's what makes her story so powerful, because it's not about what she missed.

It's about how much she was holding, how much she was giving, and how deeply she trusted.

Danielle, if you're listening, I hope you loved New York City.

If you have not heard this story, I won't give any more away.

Hearing Danielle's story is fascinating, but seeing it unfold is a whole new experience.

So please check out Betrayal, Secrets and Lies on ABC and Hulu to see Danielle and see where the story took place.
