In this episode of Socially Unapologetic, Brooke sits down with Burlington-based brand designer and founder of The Good Canvas, Donata Delano. Donata shares her inspiring journey from working in architecture to navigating chronic illness, grief, and eventually finding creative freedom through painting and entrepreneurship.

We dive into:

• How burnout and an autoimmune diagnosis sparked a full life pivot

• The power of building a business that aligns with your energy, personality, and values

• Why she believes introverts can thrive in online business — without selling 24/7

• Her refreshingly honest take on work-life balance, success, and saying no

• The role her family and community played in her growth

• Her thoughts on the pressure to always be doing more and how to break that cycle

Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, or just someone looking to live a little more intentionally — this conversation is for you.
