Hi. I’m Dani.

Welcome to That Zesty Lemon—where dark comedy, satire and personal events collide with the absurd circus we apparently call reality.

My name is Dani Lemonade, and I’m the ringmaster of this carnival of absurdity.

I’ve had my own front-row seat to the chaos: Breastcancer, personal setbacks and the career humbug of layoffs, job applications and corporate slogans.

Resilience sometimes means getting back up, swearing a little and turning the mess into a story.

Expect questionable optimism, chaos and the occasional appearance of my dogs with better judgment than most politicians.

Subscribe—and when life gives you lemons, make something gloriously inappropriate.

⚠ CONSIDER THIS YOUR WARNING ⚠

I’m writing a book.

Layoffs. Cancer. Menopause. Teeth with an exit strategy. I’m turning the lot into a wildly exaggerated novel. Based on real life. With fewer filters and worse behaviour. Read the drafts while I pretend this is a sensible project.

A tattooed blonde woman in a white nightgown clutches an oversized pack of sanitary pads and three pairs of trousers as a theatrical red flood pours from a vintage hotel elevator. “REDRUM” is written on the wall, tampon-shaped ghosts wait in the corridor, and dark tree roots creep across the floor.

"REDRUM" — The Meat Tree! Bleeding on Tamoxifen.

After eight peaceful months on tamoxifen, my uterus has launched its Halloween comeback tour. Three pairs of trousers died within six hours, every movement threatens another *Shining*-style elevator scene, and somewhere inside me, fibroids—known in Dutch as “meat trees”—are building the Upside Down. Welcome to the MeMo: post-breast-cancer bleeding, menopause chaos and enough natural special effects to make fake Halloween blood completely unnecessary.
