Danielle Carnivele is a UIUC graduate and a life coach who helps others build self compassion and confidence, and make positive changes for their life.

I was raised with a narcissistic father in the household, and found how this impacted my identity throughout my life. I was a model student, perfect grades and active in the community, yet I couldn’t shake the burden of being a daughter. After college, I quickly found a job that ultimately lead to an extreme burnout.

Through recovery with my health (both physically and mentally), I now speak through these lived experiences on addiction, burnout, and finding your sense of self.

My presentation is on hyper-Independent women: the impact of misogyny. Hyper independence is a term given to the behavior of complete reliance on oneself due to the mistrust of others. The term is often praised as a strength, but it is a side effect of childhood trauma.

This behavior creates the ‘I can do it all’ mentality, and easily fuels burnout. The effects of hyper independence can be detrimental to an individual’s mental well being and self esteem, as this need to please is fueled by validation from others. I speak through lived experiences in navigating your mental health and recovering from burnout.

• Know how to identify hyper-independence and redirect the behavior.
• Identify misogynistic norms affecting your life and combat gender roles.
• Inspire to go after the life you want, fearlessly.
