Elyse Myers is a writer, musician, viral sensationmother, and the person who turned her most anxious, "too much" bits into art. She shares about the beautiful mess of creativity, neurodivergence, and the quiet revolution of simply being herself. In this episode, Elyse shares:


The moment she realized she was living someone else's life + quit.


Walking away from the career, the platform, and the version of "success" that didn't fit.


Why telling the story you need is an act of rebellion.


How she protects her nervous system +stays open without staying exposed.


When creativity becomes your whole identity + how she took it back.


Life with anxiety, autism, and "big feelings" + why she stopped fighting them.


How That's A Great Question was built off one line + why every chapter is unapologetically unedited.


The New York hotel notebook: when nothing made sense…until it suddenly did.


Why she stopped trying to "fix" herself + chose to feel, messy and real.


Curiosity over certainty. Questions over answers. Belonging over perfection.

Behind every headline is a person + a deeper story. Question Everything with journalist Danielle Robay cuts through social media buzz to uncover the voices, ideas, and cultural moments that shape how we see the world. Each week, she asks bold questions that challenge assumptions and reveal the nuance behind the narratives, inviting you to look closer at the world, and at yourself. Because there's always more to the story.
——
Danielle is also the creator of the bestselling QUESTION EVERYTHING card game series, which has sparked connection and conversation in thousands of living rooms around the world. She's also the co-executive producer (alongside Reese Witherspoon) and host of Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club. With her signature curiosity—dubbed "The Queen of Questions"—and a background in political science, Danielle brings both heart and rigor to every conversation. A Gloria Steinem Fellow and mentee of Larry King, she's carried forward a legacy of curiosity and connection, interviewing icons from Taylor Swift to Malala Yousafzai in more than 8,000 hours of elevated conversation.
