TRAVELS FROM: Nevada
For Darla Day, it really all began when she "ran away" to join the circus. From Salt Lake City, she moved to Houston to pursue a creative career. Darla’s determination led her to join a local circus from Mexico, where she discovered a passion for aerial acrobatics and dance. From there, she developed a career in entertainment, including working with the famed company, Cirque du Soleil and later for Ke$ha, MTV and Cindy Lauper. She created her own company -- Aeris Aerial Arts -- and became an entrepreneur providing events and entertainment to some of the world's largest corporations, including Toyota and Adobe. She founded a school for aerial acrobatics. And with her husband, Nick Day, she created a special foundation to help teens at risk of suicide. Darla has been through dark times as well as bright ones. But with determination and the support of family and loved ones, has fought through the worst moments to craft a life she once could only dream of. And so can you

- Your Are Strong
Being a woman in the work world. Women are unique and powerful. This is Darla’s story of becoming an entrepreneur, running three businesses and a non-profit. - Anthem
What’s your anthem? We are all writing our story. In order for it to be the Hero’s story, there are going to be challenges. The harder the challenges, the greater the Hero’s outcome! - Change is Hard, But Comfort Can Be a Trap
Reaching beyond your comfort zone creates unimaginable growth. - You’re a Fighter
You’re a Phoenix! This is Darla’s story of running away and joining a circus, overcoming darkness, and rising from the Ashes - How we can all choose to rise from the ashes. - I’m Not Broken
Our mistakes don’t define us, they refine us. Addressing mental health, suicide, and hardships and how to view those trials as stepping stones. We may have bruises, but we’re not broken. - Enough Sunshine to Go Around
Someone else’s success does not mean your failure. Law of abundance- if opportunity doesn’t exist- create it. - Treehouse
You don’t build a business, you build people, and people build the business. We’re a treehouse- if something is broken, fix it. If something is dirty, clean it, if someone is trying to come in, help them up the ladder, don’t shove them down.
