Episode #109:

Hey friends, I love having special guests from NAMI. I met Danielle through In Our Own Voice presentations and I so enjoyed talking with her on this podcast. She shares her wisdom and insights into dealing with symptoms, taking medications, asking for help, and the beauty of humanity.

Danielle's BIO:

Danielle Brahinsky was born and raised in Los Angeles in the San Fernando Valley and is a third generation Angeleno with both sets of grandparents having settled in Los Angeles.  Danielle is a graduate of Berkeley with a B.A. in rhetoric and she is very passionate about her love of UC Berkeley, Go Bears!

While living in Berkeley, Danielle was a member of the Berkeley Bayit for 3 years, it will always be her cherished, favorite place to have lived.  After college Danielle worked in Pau, France as an English teacher for the American-French Chamber of Commerce of New York.  For the past fifteen years Danielle has worked in the fundraising community in both the Jewish and secular spheres. 

Her last position before she had her daughter was working as the Special Events Manager at the Midnight Mission where she fights the pervasiveness of homelessness in Los Angeles.  She feels it is an honor to be working every day to fight this terrible epidemic.  She formerly worked for Israel Bonds as a registered representative where she raised $7,000,000 from the Reinvestment Campaign.

She has been a member of ICRF for nearly 15 years as well.  She was the last recipient and honoree for Visions the Young Generation’s Monte Carlo Night.  Her commitment to fighting cancer could not be stronger and she feels it is a privilege to be a part of ICRF because it provides her with the opportunity to actually do something about cancer and not just sit on the sidelines.  Danielle is currently an In Your Own Voice presenter for NAMI and is extremely passionate about helping the mentally ill recover. 

Danielle is also a novelist and will be publishing her first novel on Mental Illness soon.  Danielle is happily married to Jason Brahinsky and they have a beautiful daughter, Elena Brahinsky.
