Hey there. I’m Danielle Garcia — a free spirit inhabiting the body of a 32-year-old writer (a.k.a. “word witch”) living in McKinney, Texas.
I’m currently drafting my debut contemporary romance novel inspired by Taylor Swift’s Midnights album about a polyamorous modern-day witch and the first lover who falls under her spell.
In 2018, I quit my job as the executive assistant of a startup in Redondo Beach, CA to travel the country in a 30-foot 1999 Winnebago Brave class A RV. My last week before driving off, the marketing team asked me to stay on remotely writing posts for their blog from the road 2018 – 2019.
Since 2019, I’ve been helping my husband, Reid, start his company, Helpful for Life, and create + launch their first online course, Kickstart Your Kitchen.
In 2021, I also taught workshops at the Millhouse McKinney women’s creative co-working space where I’m a founding member.
I started a blogging venture with a group of entrepreneurial women with metaphysical businesses on + around the historic downtown mckinney square – The Mystic Collective.
And now, I just closed out the chapter of working on my husband’s business with him so I’m focusing on blogging, vlogging, and noveling!

Just me livin’ my best life pretending to be a Disney princess lost in the woods, feeding a chipmunk…
