WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

We've got to be willing to hold a few paradoxes on our way to truth. In this episode, we're celebrating the courage it takes to CHANGE YOUR BELIEFS, to question your teachers, and please, treasure your contradictions. Hold on and let's transcend... daniellelaporte.com/withlove Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Binding identities, grievances, expired dreams, regrets, possessions. Can you feel the pressure to let go?   Energetic stagnation makes us more vulnerable to all kinds of viral things—from negative thought patterns to viruses. I'm rolling out "The List of Letting Go" so we can lighten our emotional load to fit through this portal of change. Let it all go: daniellelaporte.com/grace Hosted on Acast....

Let's reform your relationship to REST. I've lined up some yogic rest evangelists to help convince you of the performance-enhancing, spirit-healing benefits of intentional chilling out. Strong people rest. Wise people rest. Rest is love. Get some: daniellelaporte.com/withlove Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I'm going to read to you… FROM MY JOURNALS. This is a short story about big letting go — and how to hold on to the lessons, but shed the insecurities that have us search outside of ourselves.   Listen, learn, get ready to burn (maybe)… daniellelaporte.com/withlove Hosted on Acast.

Empathy is the antidote to misery. We have to learn to empathize like our lives depend on it. Deep work because empathy can get buried under trauma and separation dogma. Here's what I know about opening up to people we disagree with, dissolving Ego, and being vigilant with our love. We need an empathy revolution.   Empathy changes everything: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

Experiencing crisis doesn't change everyone—but it should. Why do some of us change as a result of suffering and some of us don't? What creates revolutions? What will your role be in our Creation Story? daniellelaporte.com/grace Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Faith is believing that the Light exists, even when it's dark. You can't "logic" yourself out of a crisis—you need heart centered resources. Faith is a creative tool when we're lost and looking. daniellelaporte.com/grace Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I wrote you a list of 60+ things I do when I'm in pain. The range: simple mood shifters to deep devotional practices. These methods for nourishing your nervous system and connecting to the Divine work when you're falling apart, AND when you have your shit together. Consciousness comes in very handy. daniellelaporte.com/grace. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Our deepest pain is the entry point to our authentic power. That's why we do shadow work. I have key questions to help you navigate to the source of your suffering—and very personal stories of my own dark night of the soul that might catalyze your healing.    We're going to find the wounds that we've kept hidden in our day to day, and shine the light of self-compassion on them.   Now is the time t...

This global shift is a chance for us to get in sync with our natural cycles—we've been too busy to know we're aching for it. We've been in overdrive for too long. It's part of the reason we're in this predicament.   Stillness isn't the absence of movement. It's a focus on the present.    It's time for a sacred reprioritization. I'm talking about making our pain transpersonal and connective. And fi...

We're in a quickening of consciousness. The conditions are set for rapid transformation—this is good news, possibly, maybe. I'm talking about why now is the best time to do shadow work, and how crisis can become our rebirth—if we choose it. And hey, it's time to forgive. daniellelaporte.com/grace Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is global group therapy. Macro to the micro, I'm talking about: why this is the best time to do the shadow work and tap compassion. Our deep longing to slow down. Making your personal pain transpersonal. Your suffering as a holy event. Clearing energetic and physical stagnation. Faith and worst-case scenarios. Navigating community with stone-hearted, half-hearted, and full-hearted people. Why...

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.  This is a wake up call: daniellelaporte.com/withlove Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Divorce…? Balance and striving…? Longing to help, but feeling spread thin…? It's a Q&A fest. I'm offering compassionate reframes and metaphysical tools.  Keep what resonates, leave the rest… daniellelaporte.com/withlove Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 s...

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. Go there with me: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

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. Tango with the life force: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

"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. daniellelaporte.com/withlove

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 he...

I think external psychic input can be extremely valuable for navigating. I've had seers on my payroll. And… We can often sense what's coming ourselves—we just don't recognize our own power. Wanting the encouragement of somebody else's gifted perspective is natural. And we want to make sure that craving for input doesn't become a dependency. Keep your power within your own being. Free will, free wi...

This is about suffering (mine in particular). And the radiance that comes after we all suffer. This isn't a woe is me recount. I offer my stories for the sake of community, for potentially softening your learning curve, and for hope. I'm convinced that by sharing our stories of getting through struggle, we help each other heal. In this episode I also POUR ON THE HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT for those of...

My fellow grown up, let's get you centered in your truth and prepped for family gatherings… so you don't end up in the bathroom drunk-dialing your therapist, or your highschool sweetheart (who's now married with 3 kids).  You have the inner resources. Acceptance! Self respect! Compassion! And so much LOVE! I have some ideas for staying sane (and ideally: being your most loving self), even if you w...

You'd think that as empathetic humans, who are so attuned to our own feelings, we'd know immediately when someone has jacked into our own life force. But we just keep tolerating toxic dynamics in the name of compassion. Here's how to apply your compassion with DISCERNMENT when it comes to narcissists… daniellelaporte.com/withlove

So many of us grip our mistakes because we never want to make them (and hurt anybody) again. But the moving forward can only happen when you can really forgive yourself. It's possible. And there's a sequence to it. Here's how I practice: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

Loss brings out our truest self. And while grace doesn't come naturally to all of us—especially when we lose—it can be cultivated… if you go out of your way to be grateful. Let me tell you a story. It all starts in the ladies room, in a snowy city, five minutes before my curtain call… daniellelaporte.com/withlove
