When Danielle made the announcement that she was leaving WEEI, she said it was because she needed to "take a chance on" herself.

"It was a very, very, very difficult decision for me," she said. "One that I have been wrestling with for months. But I’m at a time in my life where I need to take a chance on myself." She didn't exactly say what's next for her, but she has some ideas. 

Danielle has been a part of WEEI for over 15 years, so she will definitely be missed, but she said she wants to look into some other opportunities and passions she has, including starting her own podcast. 

"I’ve talked about my passions on the show before, whether it's animal welfare or plants or food or any of that stuff," said Danielle. "I really want to go in a direction where I can focus on all of that."

"My friends, today is bittersweet as I announce my departure from my role as co-host of The Greg Hill Show," she wrote in a statement that she posted to her Instagram. "I've been fortunate to have a broadcast career that has spanned over a decade-and-a-half on two legendary stations: WAAF and WEEI. I've loved working in radio, and have made many long-lasting friendships that I'll carry with me forever. 

"Despite being offered incentives to stay, it's time for me to follow a new path and pursue the other passions I've been developing throughout my life."

In the statement, Danielle goes on to say that she will continue to listen to the show and is grateful for the fans the show gained over the years.
