    About Dana:

    I'm Dana from Dana Findwell. My YouTube journey started after I was laid off in 2020. I launched a thrifting business and a channel focused on my business, but for two years, I struggled to gain traction. Everything changed when I shared a very personal video about what it was really like starting over at 59—that video went viral and brought in over 20,000 new subscribers! Now, I focus on reinvention, decluttering, and simple living after 50.
