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.

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.

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_outlineToday 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 attention and love.
The gift of the Inner Child is that they’re always pointing to what’s unresolved within us. Anxiety attacks before big events, losing your phone while hustling, getting sick when you’re pushing too hard? Those aren’t accidents—they’re calls for compassion, not "tough love."
True spiritual growth happens when we hold space for our Inner Child reactions—gently, lovingly, without judgment. Reparenting our unmet needs into creative power... and that’s Inner Child work.
In this episode:
- How the Inner Child represents your unconscious self
- Why Inner Child healing transforms emotional triggers
- How self-sabotage moments are really spiritual SOS signals
- The power of gentleness vs. tough love
- How to spiritually grow up through reparenting
