Is it Self-Pity or Self-Compassion?
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Sometimes we confuse self pity as self Compassion. Compassion is a dignified energy. It’s embracing and wise. It knows that it’s highly capable of healing people and situations. Compassion is merciful. Compassion is a possibility thinker. Self-pity is like the zirconia diamond of compassion. It’s not real, but it looks close. Self-pity looks backwards, scans for blame. It seems interested in getting out of pain but… nope, not really. In this episode, Danielle shares how she caught herself in a cycle of self-pity, and how she shifted toward compassion with one simple...

The RELIEF You Feel When You Make the Right Decisions
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Danielle’s summer was full of pivots. Some heartbreak. Decisions of depth. Phoenix vibes. Here’s the thing about making the right decision: you’ll know because of the relief you feel. It’s the rush of light that comes with the declaration. The exhale. That clarity is all the affirmation you need. In this episode, Danielle shares a recent pivot with her new book, Bless & Release. What was supposed to launch in Fall 2025 has been moved to Spring 2026. A move that was out of character—but created space, fresh insight, and a waterfall of gratitude. From a mastermind with...

On Saturdays We Clean Up Our Karma (and Our Closets)
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Here we are—the final episode in our 8-part series on the Energetics of the Days of the Week. We’ve covered Mercury Retrograde, Sunday through Friday… and now, Saturday. Saturdays are ruled by Saturn. It’s that big, heavy, father energy. Structure. Rigidity. Discipline. It’s also the day for cleaning up karma—tidying your inner state and your outer world. Which is why Saturdays are naturally the best day of the week for errands, organizing, and getting your sh*t together. Each day of the week pairs with a Life Area, and Saturday’s is SPACE + THINGS. Your home and office, your...

Thursday is All About Expansion
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
This is part six of an eight-part series on the energetics of the days of the week, and today we’re hookin’ our wagons to Jupiter. Thursday is ruled by Jupiter—expansive, abundant, lucky (if there is such a thing). Jupiter energy is about vastness, generosity, and selflessness. When we honour Thursday’s expansive power, we can use it to teach, to reach out, to be generous—and more wisdom and abundance flows in. The Life Area that pairs with Thursdays is Mind + Emotions. This is the day to think higher thoughts, to neutralize emotions, to focus on learning, sharing wisdom, and...

Tuesday’s Fiery Energy is for Getting Sh*t Done
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Every day of the week is governed by a planetary energy—and Tuesday belongs to Mars. Mars is fiery. It’s strategic. It’s a little spicy. And when you know how to work with that energy, Tuesday becomes a power move—not a burnout trap. This is part 4 of an 8-part series on the energetics of the days of the week. In this episode, Danielle dives into the willfulness and combative potential of Mars—and how to use Tuesday’s charge to pull things off, without blowing things up.

Monday: The Moon’s Day
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Every day of the week is governed by a planetary energy, and each day has its own vibration according to the planet that looks after that day of the week. The idea here is that we’re aware of that energy—and we work with it. MONDAYS are ruled by the moon, and lunar energy is shadowy, emotional stuff. It’s watery, with unconscious energy coming to the surface. But instead of getting down on ourselves about it, we flow with it. In this episode, part 3 of an 8 part series on the energetics of the days of the week, Danielle breaks down why Monday is paired with the body Life Area, and...

Sunday: The Soul's Day
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Every day of the week is governed by a planetary energy, and each day has its own vibration according to the planet that looks after that day of the week. The idea here is that we’re aware of that energy—and we work with it. Sunday is ruled by solar energy, by SOUL energy. It vibrates at the level of Christ consciousness, Buddha nature, and divine love. This is the energy of inclusiveness. It’s love love love. In this episode, part 2 of an 8 part series on the energetics of the days of the week, Danielle is sharing how to work with Sunday’s expansive energy to create more flow...

Make Mercury More Freddie and Less Retrograde
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Mercury retrograde gets a bad rap, but it’s actually a great opportunity for cleaning up and cleaning out. The energy supports you to clean stuff up. Instead of working against it, we use this shadowy time to clean up the emotional clutter in our own shadow and subconscious. It's brilliant! This week, Danielle shares two decades of Mercury retrograde experiments (including surveying cell phone customer service reps about their ticket volume—spoiler: it spikes). She talks about why Instagram girlies who freak out about Mercury retrograde are missing the point. This cosmic...
info_outlineI’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 too hard to break free from shallow psychotherapists and profit-centric Priestesses to fall for Chat-f*cking-GPT subbing as our next spiritual advisor.
Want real wisdom? Put the phone down. It’s less sexy, and the dopamine is modest. But the results of self-referencing and a loving support system lead to your radiant power.
In this episode:
- Why asking AI for spiritual guidance or life advice is a dangerous dependency
- Fawning as emotional manipulation—human and algorithmic
- How AI reflects your hungry ghost back to you (with charm)
- What true, self-sourced consciousness looks like in a world of synthetic wisdom
