Have you ever scribbled down an idea and left it sitting on your vision board, waiting for the right moment?

That’s exactly what local resident Danni Le Page did. Now, that goal is about to take her across the world as Mrs Galaxy Australia 2025.

Next month, she will represent Australia at the Galaxy International Pageant in Florida.

Danni’s journey to the crown began with a goal that sat untouched on her vision board for far too long. As a personal branding photographer, she had long admired the women she worked with through the Australia Galaxy Pageants. It wasn’t until she decided to bring her idea to life; a platform called ‘Her Creative Mindset’, that she took the leap into pageantry herself.

“Winning the national title means that I have the opportunity of a lifetime, to be a part of something much bigger than myself,” she said. “It’s not every day you get to fly halfway across the world to represent your country and start conversations about mental health.”

‘Her Creative Mindset’ began with Danni’s own lived experience of depression and anxiety. It grew from a personal toolkit built over ten years, into a growing movement helping women go through life’s curveballs with strength and self-belief.

Danni’s platform, which includes downloadable workbooks and international online workshops, empowers women to take charge of their mental wellbeing and find confidence in their stories. She’s also developing a mental fitness app and habit-building resources to help make support more accessible.

Through it all, Danni has stayed grounded in service. She’s clocked more than 60 hours volunteering with organisations like Food Bank and Dress for Success, and has already raised over $2,000 for Batyr, a youth mental health charity. Her goal is to raise another $8,000 by next May.

“It’s through community work that I’m reminded how powerful a single conversation can be,” she said. “You never know what someone else is going through, and your listening ear or kind words might be exactly what they need.”

As she prepares for the Galaxy International Pageant, Danni is focusing on both the practical and the personal.

“Managing my mindset has been the biggest benefit,” she said.

“When there is so much involved and so much to do, meeting each day with purpose and passion is so important.”

More than anything, she is excited to finally meet the women from around the world she’s connected with online; women who share her drive, her values, and her desire to make a difference.

“It’s not a pageant. It’s a worldwide sisterhood,” she said.

For young girls and women in the local community watching her journey unfold, Danni encourages them to believe in themselves, even when it’s scary.

“If you had told me five years ago that I would be crowned Mrs Galaxy Australia after my first time entering a national pageant, I wouldn’t have believed you,” she said. “But I was on a mission to prove those doubts wrong, and I’m so glad I did.”

If she takes the international title, Danni will become the first Mrs Galaxy International from Australia. But crown or no crown, she’s already planning more events and workshops in 2026 to expand ‘Her Creative Mindset’ and help women everywhere step into their own power.

She said, “There is a new age of mindset coming,” adding that “the world is ready for it.”
