Hi Friends,
I talk about this is consciousness circles AND business masterminds:
Are there metrics for enlightenment?
Yes, yes there are! It’s like being spiritually cool…which comes with a heap less ego. You might not be saintly or levitating, but…like…
- You don't need to defend yourself after every argument. (Or do you? ☺️)
- You don't have to go to everything you’re invited to. (Right?)
- You’re in touch with your nervous system. (It’s that internal network that controls your response to EVERYTHING.)
Come on over to WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (Episode 109) and I’ll affirm how truly rad you are––you monk amongst us, you, or… we can aim a bit higher. Together.
DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IF YOU’RE ENLIGHTENED. It’ll be a total waste of your time. Otherwise…
I’ve got 8 beautiful indications of spiritual maturity to roll through with you. We got this.

My Friends,
Inner battlefields (which are so painful.). Global battlefields (too many to count.) Bravado that’s cruisin’ for a Dark Night of The Soul. Adrenal fatigue and fried nervous systems.
Look where hardlines and forcing ourselves to endure have gotten us.
Keep in mind: Antidotes are the OPPOSITE of the poison. So…
I’m building a strong case for softening.
These 10 Ways That Being Softer Makes You More Powerful are not just about flexibility.
You’re going to see how apologies (the sincere kind) and self protection (without being brittle) and radical responsibility (KEY quality for being a heart centered leader) actually serve to make you a more gentle––and very powerful being.
I’m also suggesting that we compromise on some promises we made. And that we make holistic health and Self Compassion top priorities.
We’re also going to refine our definition of “intimacy.”
A strong possibility: Power up your gentle qualities and you will have more energy to do what your SOUL wants you to do––because you won't be wasting your life force on the push-pull drain-train. The world needs you to make this counter culture move. There’s a much easier way to do life and work…it’s not forceful, it’s POWERFUL.
Episode 108 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is planting seeds for the new earth. Your heart intelligence is the fertile ground.

I’m never contrarian for the sake of it. I’m good to go with the conventional flow. But not today, friends, not today! We have higher realms of consciousness to traverse. And those higher states are not in our guts. or lower chakras, or low vibe stories from our past.
Old adage: "Trust your gut.”
New way: Nah.
Pay attention to your gut, but don’t let it make your plans.
There’s both spiritual and scientific sense to this.
In WITH LOVE, DANIELLE Eps 107 I’m talking about decisions, intuition, direction, and how to figure out your next best move....and it’s NOT about “following your gut.”
Higher Love, babes,
Danielle

Friends…
After 4 weeks of the Healing With Anxiety series, maybe we need a palate cleanser, yes?
Like so:
If you could do a “do over” what would it be?
Talk about starting over after divorce.
What’s in your bag?
What’s in your fridge?
Why do you think our peers aren't’ talking about… certain world issues? And how to shift?
Lite, deep, lite, lite, and way deep.
I’m so glad we’re in this together.
It’s Wednesday! So WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is ready for you and Episode 106 “Do overs + What’s in my bag? It’s Q+Awesome!” Lifestyle, heartbreak and always…healing. See you in there!
With Love,

Oh hi, high achiever!
I know you can do ALL OF IT. You ALWAYS pull it OFF.
But… at what cost? Crappy sleep, anxiety meds, cortisol levels whacked, extra pounds, skimmed savings, minimal alone time… too much alone time?
Let’s heart to heart this out. Because this is a collective story and we need to rewrite the script.
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE Eps 105 is for the polished, solid, achieving, doing, driven, types who are also actually the worrying, perpetually dissatisfied, unable to relax, fretting about what others think of you… types.
This is part 4 in my 4-part podcast series on Healing With Anxiety and I’ve got your number… because I myself have had these behaviors on speed dial for years.
Listen in, Love. I have a Lot of clarity and Compassion for you. And some solutions.

Hello Friends on the path…
I’ve known about the struggles of some of my favorite philosophers…Krishnamurti suffered from terrible migraines. Ram Dass had a massive stroke. Yogananda had crippling pain from apparently taking on the karma of his devotees.
Anyone in a physical body suffers. Facts.
But the accounts I found most helpful were those of teachers who struggled with anxiety and panic. Teachers of mind mastery who had to face these kinds of inner hurdles struck me deeply. Two of whom helped me relax into deep self compassion: Adyashanti and Mingyur Rinpoche, and I’ve found a way to loop their teaching back to one of Audrey Lourdes’ pillars:
“Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me.”
I’m sharing their enlightening humanness in today’s WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (Eps 104) as part of my 4 part series on Healing With Anxiety.
It reminds me of the very simple Buddhist prayer, “May my suffering be of service.” Please tune in and… give yourself a break.
Your fellow aspiring human…
With Love,
Danielle

Charlie Brown's famous words "My anxieties have anxieties!" is a reality for people with anxiety “disorders.” Anticipating, forecasting and predicting …worry, unease and nervousness. All of which create symptoms that create a fear that the symptoms will last forever.
This is part 2 in my 4 part series on Healing With Anxiety and I embed an anxiety quiz for you in this episode (#103). We’ll see which lifestyle areas have some anxiety chatter for you.
- The What and WHY of anxiety… and how do you know how long it will last?
- What does it look like to have a healthy relationship with our thinking?
- How do we use appreciation as a psychological tool to diffuse anxious thought looping?
- I’m sharing a story about an intensive with my psychotherapist… at my wit’s end.
- What are your current “WHAT IFs” and fear scripts?
- 6 very practical ways to heal anxiety… it’s entirely and totally doable.
Anxiety is not a lifelong condition. It’s a way through to our personal and divine power.
Healing happens, my friends. Please tune in for some proof and practicality.

Our 4 part series on How To Heal with Anxiety starts here, with Love.
With some help from conventional sources, the metaphysical practitioner on our team, V.S., and my own experiences with anxiety and healing, I’m setting the stage for us to look at basic anxiety “disorders” and to move toward healing measures.
You will see yourself, and/or your loved ones and the world at large in this list of anxieties types.
NAMING struggles is an important part of healing, and… I’m encouraging us to NOT OVER-IDENTIFY WITH LABELS. Especially when we’re talking about anxiety disorders.
I prefer to say, “imbalances” over “disorders.” And “natural” over “normal”––because we could argue over what’s normal in a world that's flailing and waking up. But the heart and the nervous system know what’s natural.
This episode (number 102) is thorough. We’re covering a lot of ground and then the following 3 episodes will get lighter (kind of.) The foundation looks like:
- Types of anxiety disorders, as outlined by the National Institute of Mental Health.
- Physical, psychological AND metaphysical explanations of anxiety imbalances
- The relationship between your nervous system and anxiety healing
- The distinction between anxiety and panic. They are quiet different.
- Definitions of our energy bodies (Etheric Body, Astral Body, Mental Body.)
- 24 causes of anxiety that you’ll probably relate to.
- 6 ways to dissolve anxiety that are physical, simple and immediate.
- What IS the vagus nerve and why is loving on it so important to our wellness?
- Then we open the conversation to spiritual resilience and more meta-physical ways to heal with anxiety
SAVE THE DATE: This is all leading up to Thursday, April 4, 2024, at 12 PT | 3pm ET, for a live class, HOW TO HEAL FOR REAL. Mark it in your cal to attend live if you can.
Anxiety is stirring in our collective and individual psyches. We’re still recovering from the global health bootcamp that started four years ago, and with raging wars and buckling economies… we might be… frayed. Naturally. Anxiety and all of it’s presentations aren’t a permanent condition. It’s our unhealed content asking for attention.
Anxiety is Resilience + Compassion training. Come step it up with me.

What part of you is saying your affirmations? Your fearful part, or your faithful self?
Who's doing the affirming?
I’ve been going off about the down-side of self help affirmations for yuh-earrs. But complaining is a kind of affirmation, inn’t? So… I’m shifting into solutions. But in order to get to that higher consciousness, we’ve got to unpack the unconscious stuff.
There’s a sequencing for creating healthier affirmations. I unpack each of these tenets/directives:
These theories require explanations. So be sure to tune in for the 30’ish minutes of this episode.
If you want to “manifest better” and by that I mean: Create more beautiful things in your life and for the collective, then Eps 101 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is … affirming your higher desire.

Welcome to Episode 100 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE! Thanks for rollin’ deep with me times 100! I don’t take a single listen, click, share, or comment for granted.
So…
Is your inner child choosing your relationships? Short answer: Ya. Totally.
Consciously or unconsciously. It’s not bleak, babe, it’s a good thing. Because your Inner Child is choosing the relationships that lead you to your power.
We know a lot of our wounds from childhood stay with us. Jump cut to being grownups and those wounds may still be in the basement of our psyches. Until we choose to get proactive and have a clearing session.
In Eps 100 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE we’re going to unpack:
- Why our Inner Child––our unhealed self––is going about choosing our relationships. (Don’t get too bummed out, it’s how we heal.)
- Why we connect/choose partners and people who match the energy of our wounds
- Why every trigger is an opportunity to show up better with our beloveds (and even the barista)
- 7 suggestions on how to REFRAME THE TRIGGERS
- An extra special shout out to the unconditional girlfriend love that ALL of our relationship could benefit from
Your triggers are power levers. I promise, promise. This reframe will change your LIFE.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! As always, we’re going deep… but keeping it light.

Hello Loves,
I know there’s a lot of disappointment in spiritual teachers and public figures who are silent during these times. I hear it daily in my DMs. “Thank you for speaking up, I’m so disappointed in other people in this space.”
I understand. I relate. And… it makes me wince. I’m grateful for the resonance but I’m not cheering on the criticism of others.
We don’t need to find additional reasons to battle each other about raging world battles. That's just division on top of division. A house divided falls. This is exactly what corrupt puppeteers are trying to orchestrate.
So today I’m offering a stained glass window of different ways to look at silence and activism, fear and bravery. Please take what you want and leave the rest.
Let me be clear: I am not defending silence nor am I demanding for people to speak up.
Eps 99 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE explores why people sometimes choose silence in fractious situations. And I have some heart centered strategies on how the more “vocal” folks can cope with disappointment when silence bites––especially from the people we’ve admired.
We have to make space for all of our ways of being through these insane, dark times.
Please tune in. I think this could be helpful for all kinds of situations and polarizations.
With you all the way, my friends.

You know… I’ve felt like an outsider most of my life. Lil’ bit on the outside. And of course I’ve had my share of hard No’s and reeejection.
And… but… each rebuff and snub is taking us closer to our shadow territory, to the beautiful, unhealed stuff that’s waiting to be healed.
I recently taught a class on rejection in our Heart Centered Membership and it was a tender one. We’ve strung the diamonds for you:
In Eps 98 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE I’m teaching on:
- The meta-function of rejection. Every spurn, every rebuff points to our inability to accept all parts of ourselves
- Exactly why rejection is an advance class in self-acceptance
- How we stand in our power to heal from rejection, without bypassing or bravado
- How to choose responsiveness and consciousness over numbing out and running away.
This is the work. This is how we transform our repetitive pain into deep esteem.

Hello Loves,
Why do we get sick? Like really?
My man and I decided to spend a month in Nicaragua to keep my lungs in prime conditions. Paradise on the cheap plus in-person time with my Team D wing woman Dana, who’s built a beautiful life there with her family. Perfection!
Within 48 hours of arriving… I got sicker than I’ve been in years. Have I not been meditating enough? Ingesting enough frankincense? Is this my way of burning karma? Am I a New Age loser?
I could say it was the air freshener and bacteria and smoke and dust and burning rubber fumes and all the allergens that triggered my already sensitive respiratory system.
Or I could say:
It was my deep grief that I've been processing much of this lifetime, carried over from lifetimes, about the illusion we are separate, that I am alone in my sanity and longing for us all to get back to Love.
It's not allergies baby,
It's a cosmic home sickness
Eps 97 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, is personal and universal:
- The “outer” reasons for sickness vs the innerward reason. Hint: the outer circumstance trigger
the inner imbalance.
- The healing pivot that makes all the difference—from berating ourselves to compassion
- The practice I use to saturate pain points with healing frequencies.
- How karma is the opportunity for us to realize our true capacities as healers
The cure is in the sickness––which is always a call to Compassion.
And hey… catharsis ain’t a bad way to start the new year.

Hello Loves,
You’re bigger than your to-do list, and I knowwww, your to-do list is BIG.
Does just the thought of slowing down make your palms sweat? It is possible to prioritize deeper rest without sacrificing momentum. And I’ve got just the woman (she’s an actual empress of rest) to teach about it. I asked my beloved friend, Tracee Stanley to guest in our Heart Centered Mastermind. You’re about to hear the highlights…
Eps 96 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE:
- What research tells us about rest––did you know sleep is not the same as rest?!
- How to spot your social conditioning around NOT resting.
- Tracee’s journey from ambition + hustle in Hollywood to prioritizing rest––and how it rocketed her productivity.
- Hustle culture and our addiction to being constantly relevant.
- The fundamentals of Yoga Nidra
Come on over to the sane side of productivity…

Today is a good one. I’ve been waiting to deliver this for a while and because I think there’s a missing piece in the current cultural conversation around the nervous system which is… the connection between our dysregulation and the quality of our relationships.
A nervous system that’s nourished, regulated and healthy can roll with ALL KINDS OF EXPERIENCES. We can be flexible, spacious, and tolerant. Way less… triggerable and much more… Loving.
When we’re overly stressed, under-resourced, and dysregulated (anyone?) relational symptoms ––in addition to physical symptoms, will start to show up for us.
If you’re agitated and unpleasable… if you want to hard bail on commitments… if you’re emotionally shut down… if you can’t even name what you’re feeling… then… it’s all kinds of messy and unfulfilling.
In Episode 95 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, I’m walking us through the 8 signs of dysregulation in relationships, PLUS! 8 signs we’re relating from inner balance:
- How to know when you’re off base. In wild times like these, we’re normalizing abnormal conditions.
- How getting regulated helps us stop taking everything personally.
- How imbalance actually brings us more into balance. All reactivity is an opportunity to see what’s playing out under our hood.
- The indicators that we are relating from inner balance, from the heart center… and why Love is the most powerful, immediate regulator of the nervous system.
We heal through relationships. Repeat: all relationships are vehicles for healing.
When we see how our nervous system influences our interactions––family, partners, friends, cultures—then we will take a more urgent and spiritual approach to taking care of ourselves. And THEN we can move from friction to freedom.
Especially with the holidays at hand… please listen in.
We show up, we hold space. We hold hands. And we keep going.

- The teachings in this session are from THE NOURISH SYSTEM program. Nourish system regulation is so doable. I’ve created a simple, flexible methodology and structure to move you towards small acts of healing every day.

I’d bet that you’ve never been asked this question before: What’s your relationship to what nourishes you? Because even though we KNOW what’s good for us, we don’t always go there.
Here’s the thing: everything is energy. And we’re always exchanging energy. So we’re actually relating to different healing ideas and modalities.
And! the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives (Kind of a big deal).
So this podcast session is a micro workshop on your relationship to the healing areas of your life. A little philosophy, a little esoterica, a lot of practicality. We’re looking at stillness, body, silence, quality of sleep and more––connecting to ALL the healing sources.
In Episode #94 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE we explore:
- How the body’s function is to transmit Love + Q’s to help you become a stronger conduit.
- Why, in our productivity obsessed societies, stillness is actually the power move.
- Want to know my theory on meditation? An inquiry for all levels of mediators and the meditation-resistant.
- Prayer as one of the most intimate forms of conversations––and how analyzing your relationship to prayer can shift you into deeper self love.
- What happens when we intentionally choose silence.
- How to show up to nature to recharge (hint: first with gratitude and then to make our healing requests.)
If this is nourishing in any way, please leave a review, subscribe, maybe pass it on to a friend who needs some healing this week. Let’s get some Love and Light into the algorithm.

Cool people I quote in this episode:
"Much of spiritual work is slowing down enough to let our minds come into harmony with our hearts.”
-
Ram Dass
“Silence is not an absence of sound, but rather a shifting of attention towards sounds that speak to the soul.”
-
Thomas Moore
"You will not be left behind if you pause. You will gain more insight about your journey, and this may cause you to change course. So perhaps that is what some of us fear in the pause, that they will finally realize that another way is calling them."
-
Octavia Raheem
“If part of your legacy were to change the relationship to rest and self-care for your family lineage, how would you begin?”

Let’s talk about all the shades of isolation. Chosen aloneness. Solitude. Go it on your own. Hangin’ out the ‘do not disturb’ sign. Pressin’ the HARD PAUSE BUTTON.
Isolation, like everything else in life, has shadows and light. I think this conversation is important because, unexamined, it can turn into nervous system dysregulation. Darkness, disassociation, sadness.
So let’s hold it up into the light. In Episode #93 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE I’m sharing:
- 10 reasons we isolate––why we pull back from people, places and experiences.
- What fear-driven isolation does to us, and what heart centered, healthy isolating looks like.
- One way that I’ve created conditions of healing for myself, and tips to seek out safe spaces for community (even if you’re reluctant… like I used to be)
- Why we need to acknowledge the fatigue that comes from playing by someone else’s rules (hint: it frees up our life force)
- How showing up imperfectly (please let go of perfectionism) is part of the of the isolation solution
Retreating is sometimes the absolute necessity––wise. And other times, it’s a slope to sadsville. I just want you to know that you can pour light on the situation, no matter what it is.

There’s been a lot of newness in my business and life lately, so I want to anchor in with those of you who've been with me for a while (some of you, a decade!) and to add some BTS to all of you coming into this little corner of the universe.
First up: THANK YOU. I don’t take one click or sign up or listen for granted. Honestly I’m always amazed when people show up to things. Gigs, classes, I just feel really honored and useful. And having 4 planets in Virgo, UTILITY is a very big deal for me.
Next: I thought that I’d do an episode about something short n’ sweet and tending to the deep. Me. 🤣 Where I come from, where I’m at, and how I got here. The intention? Common ground. Unity. Comfort. Less … aloneness.
So let’s have tea together. In this episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, I’m sharing:
- How it started a decade ago after I got fired from my own business
- Who am I really? Who am I to talk about consciousness? What informs my perspectives? A walk along my personal, intellectual, and spiritual path
- How I’ve evolved from a walking F-bomb/Truthbomb to a more gentle, integrated, and still struggling but gliding woman
- The all-encompassing vows I’ve made in this life
- The things I’m up to right now–it took a decade for me to get this kind of clarity and focus on my vocation, my offerings to the world. And it just keeps getting better.
- Oh, and for funsies––why I burned my Catholic school girl kilt.
I hope that you can hear yourself in some of my struggles and expansions––and that there's some relief in that.

Catch that subject line?
It’s not your relationship. It’s you.
Slightly provocative? Yes. Likely true on the deepest level? Also yes.
Almost everything that I’ve had to apologize for in a relationship––or that I’ve wanted an apology for, had to do with my nervous system being too jacked or too drained.
The current human reality (you, me, the planet…)
And whether we’re conscious of it or not, we know on some level that our relationships are THE vehicle for healing, self-awareness, for getting closer to our Higher Self…
It ALL happens in relationships.
Episode #91 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is the third in a 3 part conversation on nervous system regulation. It’s about learning how to meet our triggers (hello, Inner Child and everyone in the world who’s triggering my Inner Child.) And then processing those triggers more mindfully, often physically, so that we don’t have to owe––or demand more apologies.
In this session we explore:
- Why we keep trying to solve the wrong problems in our relationships
- The relational symptoms of nervous system imbalance (overstaying, bickering, the silent treatment and the blame game…)
- Simple ways to get centered in heated or heartbreaking interactions
- How to get OUT of the loop of unhealthy behaviors/situations and a dysregulated nervous system––so we can unwire lifelong default stress responses that hinder love, intimacy, expression, and intuition.
When the nervous system is strong, then our relating is strong. Less wigging, more loving.
To less friction and more freedom.

Let’s talk about stress, baby. Let’s talk about nerves and mind loops and … relaxation.
As always when we go into the shadowy stuff, I’ve got some light-backed solutions. In this episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE:
- 9 ways we create unnecessary stress –– the stuff that drains, dysregulates, grinds on our nervous systems.
- Holistic suggestions for interrupting stress cycles like thought loops, self-shame + blame, criticism, complaining…
- How to become the parent of your stress and meet it with Love and Compassionate authority.
This is the second in a series of 3 conversations about nervous system healing.
If nervous system regulation were the #1 priority for every being on the planet, well that would change… everything for everyone wouldn’t it?
I think our divine assignment is to create conditions of healing for ourselves. That’s it. And it starts with steady love and common sense for stress way less.

Here’s where I think we’re at:
The past few years on the planet Earth have done a number on our nervous systems. A lot of us are experiencing adrenal fatigue, waves of anxiety, and difficulty sleeping. A general malaise of despair. And it turns out that all of this was a precursor to these last few weeks and months of warful insanity.
And whether YOU’RE conscious of what the stress is doing to you––your NERVOUS SYSTEM is very aware. I think that...
If each of us focused on regulating our nervous system, it could change the entire world.
It starts with knowing your default stress response.
In this session of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, I quiz you on your stress style––who wins for best stressed?! And then do my best to offer solutions.
- ARE YOU A FIGHTER? FLIGHTER? FREEZER or FAWNER? Once you’re clear on that, you can see the path to healing.
- I share 11 beliefs on healing––specifically for our nervous systems.
- There was a time when my cortisol levels were jacked and everything else was tanked. I’m giving you some very practical things I did that helped me heal.
A better you in a bonkers world depends on steady love and your nervous system.

This episode’s LOVE NOTE (free prayers, printables, pointers) is a simple before & after exercise to check in with your nervous system and plan for brighter days.

Hello Loves,
Let me dial you back in time a bit… my birthday is May 25. I woke up this year and thought,
“I don’t want to live and work this way anymore.” Who’s got cake?!
I’d fallen into a pretty classic trap of working FOR my business instead of the business working for my LIFE. I needed to get out of the tasky tasks (read: draining) and back to my deep creativity. Because
If I’m not living from my full, lit up heart center, I’m not serving at full capacity.
So. I made a leap. Quantum.
I got super clear on:
- My zone of genius––doing what only *I* can do.
- Where we’re going to have the most impact in the world, not “maybe” but CLEARLY.
- Investing in my purpose-driven company.
And then I went allllll in. And there was some shaking it up. Happy Birthday.
Fast forward to the present…
My 10 year business is now a start up. High enthusiasm. Agility as a superpower. A gorgeous chaos.
A LOT OF CREATIVE DEEPENING. Doubling down on a heart centered way of doing business = more freedom + more REACH AND IMPACT — for everyone involved.
In this very special episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, I am pulling back the curtain on:
- How I took my business (and life) down to the studs
- Why it’s one of the most heart centered moves I’ve ever made
- How we turned alignment into action, organizational + business model changes, AND saved $30,000 (almost) overnight
- All the details on our (long asked for!) HEART CENTERED MASTERMIND!
This is inner circle-level stuff. Everything is changing for the better.
So. Much. To. Tell. You.
With Love!

Hello Loves…
I can be having a conversation about a friend’s dating life, or what we’re having for dinner and in the back of my heart-mind, I’m thinking about Israeli and Palestinian families. Guilt can accompany some of my daily happinesses… I’m planning a wedding while there’s a war. I pray more fiercely. I’m more tired than I should be. Whatever “should be” means in dark times like these.
I think about FAITH––what do we put Faith in when there’s atrocity? Or when our personal life is so challenging that we can’t even think about what's happening outside of ourselves?
And what should we be letting go of so that we can be more graceful in all the fractiousness? I am always wondering, What should I RENUNCIATE?
Faith and renunciation are loaded words for some of us, and these are charged concepts in times like these. So… let’s go there.
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, Eps #87 is a fresh round of spiritual definitions in under 30 minutes:
- Embodiment. A consistency in thoughts, speech and action.
- Faith. Knowing that the light exists, even when it’s dark.
- Renunciation. Letting go of meaningless pursuits and things, that block your connection to your purpose.
- The Lower Self and the Higher Self: the unhealed self (aka ego) and the Soul… your True Nature.
Remember: Your Soul is always calling the shots. Lean in to it.
With Love,
D

My Loves! Welcome to the inaugural podcast edition of SACRED WEEKENDS! I’m sooo excited about this. I’ve been wanting to do something like this for years.
Like…reco’s my friends and I text about. Conversations with my Higher Self. Think: chilling with your nervous system, cool music, Netflix that isn’t all about numbing out, and communing with the Infinite.

Here’s what I’m jamming on in the pod edition of SACRED WEEKENDS:
- FRIDAY: Want to hear about the disastrous “Check in “ process that I created for my man and I? And how we turned it around into a conversation starter that is healing and productive?

My Loves,
I was in NYC last week and the theme was EXPANSION! ANd more EXPANSION.
My Mr. proposed! Yes yes yes to life partnership. He is deep and beautiful and wise and I’ve been ALL IN since about month two of being with him. Knew it. We’re not sure if we’re going to get hitched at city hall in our jeans, or throw a festival. But we know it’s all ours to DEFINE.
I also joined a new literary agency family of philosophical go-getters (my favorite combination) and we are redefining what it means for me to write, record and create for the next decade and beyond.
These big moves and mergers are happening because I’m very clear how I define success––which has taken a LOT of REDEFINING. I’ve let go of a lot of identities labels. I’ve learned what I value most. And My spiritual commitment has helped me be discerning.
And that brings me to another one of my favorite combinations: DISCERNMENT and the POWER OF WORDS.
In this week’s WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (Eps #86) I’m dissecting some of-misconstrued “spiritual” terms:
- Spirituality: It’s undefinable, actually. But I think it’s simply, “the practice of thinking with your heart.” This is not quite as simple as I make it sound. So please listen in for the break down.
- Spiritual Bypassing: Where you put a spiritual spin on a “negative” experience to avoid uncomfortable feelings. “Non spiritual” feelings… you know that trick? All seekers become pro’s at this until we see how it’s holding us back.
- Spiritual Glamor: When you mix a spiritual PoV with the ego’s need to be “special”. For example: when one regards their spiritual experience as a qualification for special treatment, or how some folks always find a way to insert their esoteric resume into the conversation…
- Conscience: You’ve got one, everyone’s got one… Light Guilt + Shadow Guilt. There’s useful guilt and drag-you-down guilt. How to tell when your conscience is guiding you or your ego is trippin’...
- And, Detachment: Less clinging. More trusting. I’m getting into the how-to’s of this spiritual art form.
Our definitions of spirituality and success define our LIVES. So more consciousness, truth-rooted definitions make for more conscious moves and mergers in our lives.
Let’s define and refine…
This episode’s LOVE NOTE (free prayers, printables, pointers) is the Dedication of Merit. Keep it on your phone.
P.S. Connect with me on IG ! I’d love to hear your thoughts on Spiritual Bypassing and Glamour…

We all get out of alignment with our inner truth. It’s the human dance.
The thing is: The inconsistency has a ripple effect. When we are in cognitive dissonance– we don’t hear our Higher Self clearly. We’re unable to focus and move forward with glide.
Ideally…
What we believe is embodied in our thoughts, speech, action. We’re walking the talk.
Here’s Episode #85 WITH LOVE, DANIELLE:
- How we get distracted from the ways we really want to live our life.Hint: the heart centered kind of life.
- How we need to clear out “all or nothing” statements
- How to clear the distracting static. Less noise = greater concentration
- AND greater concentration on what truly matters increases the chances that you will manifest the good stuff.
The takeaway: When you turn on the intelligence of your heart, you uncondition your mind. When we heal our cognitive dissonance, we learn what it really means to become whole.
And,
I’ve left you with a few tools. This episode’s LOVE NOTE has an exercise with steps to align with your higher desire. No judginess, all Love. Light a candle, set the vibe, and get to it.
My Meditation Library: https://daniellelaporte.com/listen-meditations/.I do the same practice for many months in order to go deeper, ask fewer questions, and really get into alignment with heart and mind to dissolve any dissonance.

The seeds of our desires get watered by… our focus!
But manifestation is a balancing act of intense focus and relaxed Faith.
We’re going a few layers deep about:
- How to increase the INTENSITY of your focus––which directly correlates to your creative power and ability to make things happen.
- The best use of free will––we get to choose the thoughts we believe, and the ones we refuse.
- When we choose our thoughts more intentionally, we get more of what things we want.
- What’s the difference between FOCUS and CONCENTRATION? Well, focus with me for the 35 minutes of this podcast and we’ll get into it!
Focus is a learned skill that we can strengthen. I’ll take you through a short meditative experience, then we end with a simple practice you can do daily to improve your concentration. And this episode includes LOVE NOTE tucked into our ever-growing free love notes library!
Timestamps:
- 2:58: How positive and negative memories impact manifestation

- 15:08: Why we repeat the same lessons over again
- 18:18: Concentration is not about “narrowing your focus”
- 21:31: When we're focused on the end result, we’re able to foresee the steps to get us there

All for Love,
Danielle

We don’t actually need a pep talk about our worthiness.
Because…We’re all “worthy.” And the “worthiness” questioning is, actually, absurd.
No one needs to quantify, or qualify themselves for Love. Not one Soul, ever.
We don’t have to establish if we’re deserving of more ease, happiness, or Loving Kindness.
Here it is: when we spend energy questioning and bidding to see if we’re valued or worthy…it distracts us from healing.
All that asking and validation seeking, actually creates MORE confusion and perceived woundedness inside of us.
Imagine you’re a billionaire - and you kept asking everyone around you. Or, a god of your understanding: “am I rich?”, “am I rich?”- it just creates more:
-
Confusion, agitation, perpetuates more striving…
It’s Episode #83 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE! Let’s get in there:
- What happens when we become more blind to our inherent, DIVINE WORTH? (We spin.)
- Why do we believe we need to earn our worth? And,
- When we find ourselves asking ourselves or others (typically unconsciously) if we’re worthy or valuable, instead, let’s wonder, “Why did I ask that?” It’s a popcorn trail to your pain and power.
- Here’s a life shifting question to apply, DAILY: What does my unhealed self need right now? (aka, your Inner Child)
This episode includes a short visualization exercise that I guide and it’s simple enough to remember that you can take it with you. I also did a printable LOVE NOTE for you to save.
We have been in this worthy/unworthy dialogue for eons, it is part of the human dance––so we have some stuff to unpack.
LISTEN HERE or wherever you like to tune in to the pods.
WITH LOVE,
Danielle

Hey hey!
I’m back with another juicy episode! Last week, we explored what spiritual season we find ourselves in.
With all the items on your daily spiritual checklist, you might be wondering, how do I know if this is really working?
In fact, it’s been a guiding question of mine: How do you know if all you are doing to be well is helping you be well?
Hint: It’s not about the green juice, or mala beads, or escaping to beautiful Bali (although, those are cool too)...
YOU KNOW YOU'RE HEALING WHEN....
1. You make space to respond, not react…
Drop the tit for tat, unplug from autopilot. Ask yourself, what is the highest response, for the good of all in this situation?
2. Fixing other people's issues is not your primary concern…
of course Love and service all the way. But ya know... you can't rescue anyone, and when you try to... it's kind of disrespectful to them. Your ego doesn’t need to be their saviour. How about having faith in their strength?
The vibe: YOU CAN DO THIS.
3. Loving on ALL parts of yourself is COMFORTING…
including those fiery, forbidden parts of you – the stuff you’ve likely been pushing away.
4. Respecting the other person is as important as respecting yourself…
you extend dignity to all – you and them. No matter what. Love is a win-win scenario.
5. Leaning into pain points is what you do best.
Let your curiosity lead the way. You're noticing where it hurts and you're not turning away! Hint: this is your secret to great intimacy.
6. You GENTLY silence your inner critic.
Silencing a critic fades away like soft snow. Gentle gentle. Show them who’s loving (not who’s Boss).
7. Loving your friends and family feels like your greatest gift.
Including the ones who drive you bonkers. Hello, dissolved resentments. They don't even need to totally get it or say thank you. You leave all these situations thinking "I got to Love!" Sacred usefulness.
8. Listening to your soul is your top priority…
and by that I mean, you do the work to tune in. Be receptive to the Wisdom of your soul. Stillness. Bask in it.
You’ve got the love AND the healing.
Grace be,
D

My People!
It’s been a long season since I got you some fresh audio love. I’ve completely renovated my career-business-life in the last 3 months. New ways of working and creating, supported by a new team, new technology. I have a lot to share with you about the experience and expansion. Insight! Relief!
Let’s ease back in. This is a mini episode (about 10 mins) with a big question: What spiritual season are you in?
Your “spiritual season” isn’t age dependent. It’s not about how long you’ve been meditating. Some of us will cycle through these phases more than once in a lifetime. Some of us are just getting started.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens…”
– Ecclesiastes 3:1
Spiritual Spring, Summer, Winter or Autumn? Where you at? Knowing your coordinates on your evolutionary path is liberating and comforting. It helps you choose the next best step.
I’m in the winter phase right now. A beautiful austerity. I’ve trimmed all of my practicing and researching right DOWN. Then next up for me will be a new cycle into Spring: Beginner’s mind. I’m not quite there, but I’m looking forward to it!
Please consider this a GPS for your spirit.
And heyyyyy! THIS IS A NEW PODCAST, baby! Subscribe n’ all that because I’m feeling unstoppable at the moment. Thank you for being here and listening with your heart.
In Love,
Danielle

Mel Wells has been described as “giving a voice to the silent struggle millions of women know so well”. She’s trained in holistic sex, love and relationships, eating psychology, and holistic health. Mel is a beauty in every way.
Tune into this rich conversation from Mel’s podcast Love, Sex, + Magic, we’re giving pointers to navigate awakening:
- Spiritual bypassing, what it means and how to know if we’re doing it.
- Unpacking the ego (and how the hardest experiences I've been through reminded me how strong my heart is.)
- How shaking up your identity structure is the access point to your Radiance.
- Why you should interrupt a lifetime of resisting your dark stuff?
- What the Inner Child really is. (It’s not your 8 year old little self…)
- And navigating what it means to be awake, as opposed to you know, woke.
When women gather… ohhhh baby, we rise. My friends, here’s Mel… and me.

It's not *how* we seek spiritual growth, it's *why* we seek it. We need to examine what we believe, why we believe it, where it came from, and figure out what we’re going to burn down, renovate, and give our deepest devotion to. If the whole point of our devotion is liberation, then here's the question: Do your beliefs liberate you?
You can turn this into a journaling exercise. Or walk through this with me on this classic episode of With Love, Danielle.
This episode has some biggie questions for you:
-
Do your beliefs liberate you?
-
What are the “devotion flags” that you fly with pride?
-
What can we do to un-believe the things that tie us down?
-
How important is it to know about our past lives?

We have to choose our words with care—as if each phrase was a seed for a reality… because it is. Words incant, invoke, destroy, and create. When we speak with high intention, we live in Higher Love. I have an experiment for you that might prove it.
For when it’s hard to get going, and even harder to stop… press play on Sacred Word Sets. One track to lift you up (radiance without overreaching). One track for chilling out (deep healing, deep rest). Download the sonic love: daniellelaporte.com/sacredwords

Why do we do meditations on the Full Moon? What’s the “dark of the moon?” Does… it have anything to do with Pink Floyd? Is the moon “feminine” energy and the sun “masculine” energy? And why should we pay attention to this at all?
This is my pragmatic-as-possible perspective on the super woo and super misperceptions about our relationship to the sun + moon—and why we should be very mindful about those connections. I’m also talking about Heart Centered Altars and creating those sacred spaces in our homes.
My Heart Centered Altar Kit walks you through how to create a personal altar in accordance with nature and astrological alignments—that’s dedicated to the well-being of all. So beautiful. This practice comes as a bonus when you become a Heart Centered Member. Explore here: daniellelaporte.com/membership
Meditate with me on the Full Moon, or on the New Moon for a community practice—or, purchase and download any one of my meditation kits for your personal practice. Whenever, wherever works for you.

In the personal development realm, discussion around Forgiveness tends to focus on us Forgiving the other person for what they apparently did.
But what about asking for Forgiveness? And, if I may, I want to take that a step further and talk about asking for Forgiveness from the person you think owes YOU an apology.
In this episode of With Love, Danielle (#42), I’m going to tell you a personal story about digging deep for accountability––and the euphoria of fessing up.
I hope this sparks heaps of reconciliation across the whole wide world. And if it does, tell me all about it. Forgiveness stories are my favourite.

The activities that we do most habitually create the deepest grooves in the mind. All that repetition gets us hooked on the behaviour––that could be a good thing, could be a bad thing. It depends on what the behaviour is.
Then there are the times in our lives when we bust out of habits and we do something new. What I’m interested in talking about is the motivation beneath the “new things” we try. Because sometimes it’s the ego pushing us to prove ourselves. And sometimes, it’s our Soul moving us toward real expansion.
In this episode, I’m talking about aversions + desire (they are mates.) And the drive to be a more conscious person by doing new things, versus, the ego’s compulsion to check off impressive sh*t on a bucket list.

It’s fairly easy to conceive of a collective consciousness that is loving. Essentially, people who are compassionate, kind, uplifting to the world. They’re everywhere. When we think of this light, we tend to see it as a collective phenomenon.
Now let’s consider the “shadow” of humanity. When we as individuals are not feeling “uplifting” or particularly high vibration––when we’re in our own despair, we tend to see ourselves as burdensome or not very useful to the collective.
But this isn’t true. There is a COLLECTIVE LIGHT and a COLLECTIVE SHADOW. And each of us is conducting both luminosity and density.
This podcast episode is a very hopeful take on the high form of service of dealing with your own darkness.

Let’s take a break from shadow work and relationship healing to tawk about tawkin' ––in public...
Here’s everything I know about presenting in the most powerful way, whether you’re onstage or on Zoom in your best blouse and bikini bottoms.

- Why connecting with your Inner Child is the most powerful thing you can do
- How to find common ground with your audience
- The function of gratitude
- A few style tips…
- …And that one time I got heckled, it was truly awesome

Harmlessness as a virtue –– as an embodied energy, may be one of our most demanding calls as a species. It’s a commitment to the Universal Truth that can be hard to uphold. It’s tempting to wish harm on the harmful. The shadow self defines justice by metrics of punishment.
But Harmlessness… harmlessness is the way our Divine Nature pursues justice. We speak Truth –– without superiority hooks, or malice. We hang above the drama and duality. We offer the course of Right Action. We stay mindful that we all come from the same source.
Higher Love is a tall order in these days of division. Here’s a short podcast on why the high road is actually highly efficient –– and makes miracles happen.

When we pray for the strength to protect others, I believe that we magnetize more Light into our lives, that inclusive prayer has extra sway in the universe. Because it’s universal law–to give is to receive.
A very powerful prayer for these times is the Shantideva Prayer. It helps impress on our psyches that WE ARE TOGETHER in everything, in all life's experiences. From that heart center, our perceived “sides” and polarities start to dissolve and crumble (may they dissolve and crumble with Godspeed!).

In this episode we’re talking about choosing to really be here. And a more joyful route to Soul expansion. Not easy. Not fast. But it’s got equal pleasure AND restraint. After years of wanting to ascend, I’m just really grateful to be here. I hope you can say the same.

We’ve got to fall for some lies to get to our truth… These are the lies that dogma, false power, and all kinds of commercial industries are built on. And many of us have built our spiritual lives on one of these shaky foundations.

Should you give up, or stay the course? Preface: This post is full of contradictions, so if you’re looking for a straight shot… it’s better to look within. As always. But! I have an array of options, my friends.
Sensitivity note: I start in the realm of general life stuff: Should I quit my job? Leave this relationship? Exit the church? And then we move into the deepest possible query: whether to stay on the planet. As in, choosing to stay alive. Light to dark and all the hues in between…

I receive so many substantive, well-written, messy, articulate, deep, precise questions. Gives me hope in humanity, actually. In this episode: grief, enlightenment, whether or not we should indoctrinate our children, the meaning of life… you know. Regular stuff.

When we say, “We're going with the flow,” what we're really saying is that we’re riding The Creative Principle. The stuff of LIFE FORCE. Flow isn’t New Age chillaxin’—it is alert relaxation. Wide awake trust. When you’re in the flow, you're constantly responding to the subtle cues that Life is giving you.

“I've gone through my entire life holding everyone at a safe distance… how do I make friends now?” Our fear of judgment prevents us from getting the love that we're longing for. Twisted, no? But being a stranger to someone doesn’t have to be an impediment to intimacy. This is where courage comes in.

For so long my prayers were a nuanced negotiation. I thought if I gave The Divine my best self then I’d earn what I was asking for. But if I can’t bring my darkness to the (capital L) Light, then where can I go to be healed?
I was overriding my most tender pain. And here’s what I know now: Your pain is what God is most urgently interested in—like any parent with their child. “Let’s get this healed so you can go out and play.”
And that is how we "give it over to God." We bring our pain to the surface and then The Divine can take it from there.
