Go Where the Love Is. Because Faking It Will Drain You.
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
It’s deeply natural to deeply desire deep connection. In fact, we are physiologically wired for it. But when our nervous system is out of whack, we struggle to find resonance—and end up in fawning, transactional patterns that drain our life force. This week, Danielle is talking about the connection between your nervous system and your relationships. Because when you balance your nervous system, you have better relationships. She’s sharing the how-tos for getting balanced and exploring what your nervous system has to do with your emotional intimacy with everyone in your...

It All Started With a Ouija Board… and Went South From There
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Danielle has never talked publicly about this. In her 20s, she was channelling “guides”—a term she uses very loosely. It all started with a Ouija board. Friends were messing with it, and she got in on the action. It’s a story about feeling special, getting in too deep, and discovering that “just because a disembodied energy comes through from the ‘other side’ doesn’t mean that it’s higher vibration than someone on the Earth plane.” It’s a story that may change how you think about spiritual guidance. In this episode: How to tell the difference between...

We’re Dropping the Judgment on Our Way to Unity Consciousness
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
I think judgment of others can be a byproduct of spiritual bypassing. All us self-helpers… lean in. Basically, spiritual bypassing is when we paint negative experiences as "spiritually positive” before we’ve actually felt the very human, negative feelings. Because we are secretly judging ourselves for having not very pretty or “spiritual” emotions and experiences. And the offshoot of self recrimination is that you become really f*cking JUDGY with others. That’s one of the most harmful parts of spiritual bypassing—that everything gets categorized as either “spiritual” or...

The Most Delicious Abundance Affirmations
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
The theme in my Heart Centered Collective this month is prosperity consciousness. And I don’t talk at all about money. And I barely touch on manifestation principles. Because… you can visualize and budget your butt off, but mental methods only work well if they ride on higher consciousness. Mentality is not consciousness. Consciousness is pure life force, prana, divinity. Consciousness is always there before we think, feel or do. Higher consciousness (“feeling” closer to the Divine, you could say,) results in better thinking and doing. So my approach to prosperity at the moment...

I Hit Pause on Obsessing About Rapid Financial Growth. Here’s Why…
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Danielle loves bold goals and quantum leaps. But not at the expense of wellness—or sanity.

The Good News About "Bad" Karma
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Waiting for karma to bite someone back? Here’s the twist… In the final installment of the What In the Woo? series, Danielle dives deep into one of the most misunderstood concepts in spirituality: karma. Far from being a cosmic punishment system, karma is the Soul’s invitation to restore balance—and it’s way more compassionate than most of us think. In this episode, Danielle unpacks the true essence of karma: the ego generates the negative, the heart creates the positive, and every experience—no matter how painful—is a chance to come back into alignment. This episode is for...

19 Things I Tried to Teach My Son
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
In some particular order, here’s how I attempted to entrain my only child into higher consciousness, mostly by example, but often by preaching in the kitchen while making burritos. Turns out that the kid incarnated as a wise soul, and my hot air was just some wind beneath his wings. This is for the parents, the kids, and the divine relationships that shape who we become. In this episode: Why relationships > everything The power of posture The no-BS rules around money + media How beauty, rock n’ roll, and boredom raise consciousness Oversharing, emotional fluency, and...

Your Inner Child Is Not the “Younger Version” of You
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
Today is Part 2 of the 3 part What In the Woo? Series—offering a fresh perspective on how to work with the term “Inner Child.” The Inner Child is not your younger self—it’s the wounded, emotional, shadowy part within, asking for healing. Your Inner Child isn’t you when you were 8 years old. Inner Child is a really effectual term for the part of us that hasn’t healed yet—the wounded self, the fragmented self. Interchangeable with the ego or shadow self. The part of you that gets triggered, goes into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn? That’s your Inner Child asking for...

Are You Ego’ing? What IS the Ego? Do You DO It, or Does It Do You?
WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
The ego… your shadow… is a POWER PORTAL. For years, I thought I had to punish all my ego-centric’isms—manipulating to get my needs met, constant striving to burn my karma, pretending to behave. But actually? I’ve needed to assimilate… embrace… and talk sweetly to my shadows. The ego is the unhealed part of us. More precisely, “it’s the way our unhealed self acts.” It’s not a villain—it’s a pattern. And that “pattern” is always trying to protect you from heartbreak or rejection. What if, instead of saying That’s my ego I need to get in check… we just said:...
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
