You Can't Scare Me, I Have Three Daughters
You Can’t Scare Me, I Have Three Daughters. is an intimate dive into the evolution of Danielle Sanjenis—a woman who truly found herself through motherhood, reinvigoration, and the courage it takes to stay soft beneath a tough shell.
Told with wit, insight, and vulnerability, Sanjenis opens the door to her life—painted in pink, lined with resilience, and anchored by her unapologetic personality—where parenting is as much a journey as it is an art, and wisdom blossoms from life’s most challenging moments.
Growing up without a clear sense of who she was, Sanjenis spent her early adulthood questioning her instincts and deferring to others for approval—seeing the world, but uncertain of her place in it. This is her journey of learning to embrace uncertainty where she once craved control, as her blooming confidence replaced the once-blurred lines of her identity. It’s through her daughters that she first began to feel seen, and she found her strength reflected in the mirror of their love.
As a mother, she vowed to raise daughters who know themselves deeply— unafraid to voice their opinions, who lead with conviction, trust their intuition, and set boundaries. Women who make bold, beautiful choices that are entirely their own, and walk away from what doesn’t serve them—even, and perhaps most especially, when it isn’t easy.
Sanjenis is living proof that no matter how put together your life may seem—or even truly be—sometimes things have to fall apart, or at least shift, to make room for a kind of growth you never could have imagined. Because as scary as it feels, life begins at the end of your comfort zone—and only then can you truly find yourself.
Adulthood, as Sanjenis has come to learn, is a never-ending coming-of-age story.

You Can’t Scare Me, I Have Three Daughters by Danielle Sanjenis is a memoir that feels both personal and universal. She writes with humor, vulnerability, and honesty about motherhood, identity, and the process of rediscovering who you are while raising a family.
What makes this book shine is the way Sanjenis admits to the struggles as much as the joys. She shares doubts, fears, and lessons learned in a way that feels encouraging rather than preachy. Readers who are mothers will see themselves in her words, but even those who are not parents will connect with the themes of growth, self-acceptance, and resilience.
This is a touching, uplifting, and very human story. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys memoirs filled with heart and hard-earned wisdom.

Is there anything more chic than reading Pinky’s musings and teachings in one sitting while flying from London to Napa? I think not. Xx
