WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

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

When you feel like you have nothing to offer—TRUST your rhythms. Rest. Regenerate. Do what it takes to be well. Our culture confuses productivity-output-achievement with self-worth. To unhook from that fiction: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

When things are brutally difficult with somebody, sometimes the healthiest thing is to have a non-verbal, encouragement convo. When you can't safely/bravely express yourself in this realm, then use an esoteric channel—speak to the other person's Higher Self. It might be the best conversation you've ever had. daniellelaporte.com/withlove

I've gotten in the habit of creating a "What I Trust" list before a big gig or opportunity, or when any situation feels wobbly. Often we're fixated on firing up endorphins (and there are times for that), that we forget that feeling assured and comforted is where the real power is. Calm and centered is magnetic. The "What I Trust" list is for focus and soothing your nervous system. Instead of mustering bravado about things that we hope are true, we root into what we viscerally know we can rely on. So… what do you trust? daniellelaporte.com/withlove Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's too late in the day, and too hot, crowded, and a little too painful on the planet, to be focused solely on personal attainment. Manifestation is a technology, and like all technologies, I pray that we use it to generate more loving realities for ourselves and for each other. You can still reach for the dream job, the healthy bod', and the love of your life. You get to want what you want. Always. I'm saying: want all of those things, AND incorporate other people's wellness in your vision. Pray that when you receive those things, it will make you more generous, more joyous, more healthy… more able to contribute to the collective happiness of everybody around you. This episode is a roundup of the potential mis-steps of popular manifestation techniques, and an invitation for something deeper and unifying. daniellelaporte.com/withlove

The first thing to do with that inner critic voice is to have compassion for it. (This is counterintuitive because we live in a performance-based culture that thrives on judgement.) Approach with love—then instead of creating further separation from your heart, you're building a bridge. Anytime you bring compassion to a situation you will see it more clearly. Compassion is the light of Love. It's the true power source. Speak of it often. Here's some direction: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

A frank look at the hidden parts of ourselves and why they are wounded, not evil. Stories and metaphors that reframe shame, fear, and secrecy as signals for healing. Practical pathways for doing the inner work, from therapy to steady rituals. A compassionate model for befriending the bruised inner child and turning pain into strength.

Making new friends in your 30s, 40s, and onwards — it's never, EVER too late. Your longing for sisterhood is both primal and divine. Friendship is the medicine. It's the elixir that we need right now, more than ever. Your desire is so HEALTHY. Friendships are my primary religion so here's what I suggest… daniellelaporte.com/withlove

We can all understand the importance of starting our day in an intentional way. But before we jump into new habits, we need to look into our psyche and examine what's really up when we wake up. Each of us has a pre-existing relationship with "mornings". And it matters. Menus of morning habits are easy to come by (harder to practice). But habits are only bandaids unless we get beneath the surface of our behavior and relating. That's what most productivity methods fail to ask. What were mornings like for you growing up? What does your ideal morning *feel* like? Welcome to Morning Therapy (but, like, not therapy) with Danielle! I struggled with mornings for a long time. There was a kind of resistance to starting the day, even when there was the presence of joy. I decided to take a deeper, psychological look—and it shifted everything for me. With a little help from my psychotherapist, essentially I created my own therapeutic approach to mornings. Morning mindfulness is how you activate your superpowers. Your steadiness and strength. And your connection to the sacred—everything we need on the graceful and the challenging days. So, how do we power up our pre-day? First, we go deeper. daniellelaporte.com/withlove
