“It is so hard for me to fall asleep. I normally live for sleep…but I come home at the end of a long day and my brain just will not shut off. I’m counting steps in my head, reminding myself to keep my shoulders down and reviewing tape to help me be better the next day. My 9 p.m. bedtime is a lot closer to midnight these days.”
Sleep is the whole lot. What’s your typical day-to-day wanting like as you prep?
“Yesterday was a fairly typical day. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. and drank some water and had my coffee. I stretched for 30 minutes before my kids woke up and then I made their lunches and my husband took them to school. I had a 9:30 phone call with my Be Free by Danielle Fishel team while I drove to Burbank to host my Danielle with the Stars podcast where I interviewed Jenna Johnson. At 11:30, I left for Los Angeles for my noon wardrobe fitting. Dance rehearsal was from 1 to 5 p.m., and then I went to an iHeart podcasts dinner in Beverly Hills. I left the dinner at 8 p.m., and went to see my chiropractor, Dr. Joey Nguyen, who helped align my hips because they were bothering me after 10 days of dance rehearsal! Then, I came home and iced my very sore hamstring for 20 minutes and then took an Epsom salt bath. I went to bed around midnight and got up again today at 5!”

And now you have got your individual hair line. Why did you determine to launch it?
“When I found out I was pregnant with my oldest son, Adler, I knew it was time to start paying attention to what the ingredients were in my cosmetics. I was unhappy with the rating of my current products so I asked a lot of friends if they had any recommendations, and everyone told me they were either using something they didn’t like or they were still using products they knew had iffy ingredients because at least they knew the products worked. I was shocked it was so difficult to find something that doesn’t have scary ingredients but that is also efficacious. That’s when I realized that if I felt this way about what was available, other people did too and that’s what made me want to start Be Free by Danielle Fishel.”
