WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

I wrote this tagline once for The Sacred: "Girlfriend vibe meets spiritual depth." I'm going to FULLY deliver on that today. My sister-friend Joey WhatsApp-called me from Egypt. We were in the philosophical MOOD, jacked on temple light and New Moon-ness. These wisdom nuggets are the highlights. In this episode: Girlfriendship is a spiritual practice Energy as currency—and how to build equity What...

I've never used ChatGPT. Couldn't tell you how to do it. So, not surprisingly… I've never used AI for life guidance . And I never will. Because turning to algorithms for soul advice? That's not evolution—it's devolution.  But…asking AI for life advice and personal goal-setting is ACTUALLY TRENDING.  Heavy sigh. This week, I'm naming what's happening underneath all the dopamine hits.  We've worked...

Not all of your feelings are yours. Knowing this will help you navigate your entire life with more ease. Feeling other people's feelings—momentarily or ongoingly, but in a very intentional way—can be a form of service. The more conscious we become, the more "sensing" we will be. And please, this is not to be mistaken with being overly sensitive and dysregulated, okay? I talk about shadow eaters. I...

I've been in a pendulum swing of suffering and joy lately—and as ever, I hope what I share is a popcorn trail through the dark for you. Because there's always another side. This episode is inspired by a poem from D.H. Lawrence that's become a mantra for me: "Are you willing to be made nothing?" The Phoenix only renews when she's burnt to flocculent ash. Immortal bird, anyone? This is my unfiltered...

Are you waiting on better habits to fix your life? We're going esoterically practical today. I'm talking about the difference between habits and rituals. Habits are from the intellect. Rituals are from the heart. One can burn you out, the other can bless your life. In Eps 174 of With Love, Danielle , I walk you through a handful of practices that have supported me over the years: a ritual for conn...

I've been wondering how we could each collectively wake the f*ck up to the basics of Love. You too?  So, I have a little story about a monk and a sandwich to share. But first, I'm going to unpack the definition of Common Sense and rant for a minute—because humanity's Common Sense tank is running on empty, and our collective shadow is louder than ever.  In this episode: What Common Sense really mea...

Loves…  I'm attempting to be useful in two ways today. BONUS. 1) Let's talk about decision making, how to know when it's right or wrong. 2) And how the ego loves to look good. And thus! how letting go of status concepts can be radically liberating and HEALING. I once traded a status symbol (sexy Audi, FAST) for a soul symbol (pre-owned VW, FREE). Turns out, less status = more me. More LIFE. In thi...

Waiting is exhausting—and the cost of waiting to be self-expressed is high. Suppressing your life force takes energy, so why do we wait to show up, to express, to create?  This week, I'm talking about the three reasons we stall on our dreams —social conditioning, fear, and fatigue—and how we can move through the resistance.  Because your dreams? They deserve to be yours…sooner. In this episode: Th...

The Prayer of St. Francis is a magnificent prayer for becoming the Divine counterbalance. You can speak this to your Soul or the God of your understanding.  Bear in mind the universal law: "For it is in giving that we receive." So we are taught by Saint Francis: "And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." This isn't necessarily literal death. It's a dying of the old ways and our illusio...

We've been talking a lot about habits and rituals lately in our Heart Centered Membership community and classes. And our new Heart Centered planner includes a "habit tracker." 'Tis the season, right?  But before we jump into optimization mode, we need to look beneath the surface into our psyche to examine what's really up when we wake up. And that's what most productivity methods miss—our history...
