‘American Pickers’ Star Danielle Shares Mike Wolfe Advice After Health News

After American Pickers star Danielle Colby shared a family member’s health struggles, she revealed the advice Mike Wolfe has given her.

The two reality TV stars cohost the show on the History Channel. The program follows them as they scour the country for forgotten gems in junkyards and basements, and recycle and renovate them while meeting quirky characters along the way.

Colby—who is also a burlesque dancer and an OnlyFans model—previously took to Instagram to reveal she was “heartbroken” after having to cancel upcoming burlesque performances because of her family member’s ill health. Now, while sharing a video of what keeps her grounded during a difficult time, she said Wolfe has suggested she knock out a wall in her home.

Newsweek emailed a spokesperson for Colby for comment on Thursday outside of normal business hours.

“Working in my greenhouse today. I’m sharing my happy place with you. Sometimes when I’m deep in my feelings, I just need to touch dirt. It’s cool to watch things grow. I feel like I’m in a cocoon state lately so I take inspiration from seeing my plants grow and thrive and endure life cycles,” she captioned an Instagram video of the plants in her home.

Colby said she found it “interesting” watching how pets and guests interact with the greenery. While she doesn’t know much about plants, she said watching hers grow has provided her with a sense of accomplishment.

She continued: “@mikewolfeamericanpicker said I should knock out the windows and return it to the original outdoor living space but I can’t. I just love the green house smell. But I am torn… should I knock out the windows and return it to the original outdoor living space or should I keep the greenhouse? I do love Mike’s idea….. an outdoor fire pit could be amazing since we do have a wood burning stove there already. But where would I put my plants?….. I’m torn.”

Friends and followers in the comments told Colby to ignore Wolfe’s advice, with many saying it sounds like Colby is happy with how her home is currently.

“Nooo. I looove that greenhouse, it dooooes feel like a coocoon. And it’s your cats safehouse. I mean, you do you and your house will forever be the most cozy place ever. But that spot is sooo amazing. I loved being there when I last visited,” one person wrote.

“Sounds like the greenhouse is bringing you joy and peace. Maybe it would be good to honor that for now and just enjoy that space. You can always be making other plans for your outdoor space in the meantime,” another commented.

A third added: “I say do what would bring you the most joy if there’s room off the greenhouse can you add the firepit nearby and add an entrance from the greenhouse to the firepit?”
