WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
A one woman show about self-realization from Danielle LaPorte, a member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100 and creator of The Desire Map. How do you create a spirituality that’s more rock n’ roll than oppressive, turn your anxiety into power, and live more deeply but lighten up? Danielle keeps it practical while riffing on the divine—from compassion and self-help fatigue, to sex, joy, and serving the world. She is, as Eve Ensler describes, “a force field of energy, wonder, humor, and love”, and her authenticity will have you feeling a little less crazy, full of possibility, and clearly part of the solution.

The RELIEF You Feel When You Make the Right Decisions
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 James Clear, to forming a focus group for the book, to planning the world’s largest survey on what people want to let go of… this pivot became a portal. And with every pivot comes Phoenix medicine: the burning, the ashes, the certain rising. In this episode: How to recognize the right decision by the relief it brings Why pivoting can create more ease, insight and expansion Behind the scenes of the decision to move Bless & Release to Spring 2026 A lesson from James Clear on writing “the best book ever” MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The 2026 CENTERED Planner is here!

On Saturdays We Clean Up Our Karma (and Our Closets)
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 belongings, your car, your closets, the stuff that surrounds you. Saturn invites us to declutter, to clear what no longer serves, to bring order to our space—and our karma. When we use Saturn’s structured energy consciously, it doesn’t feel heavy. It feels like grace. In this episode: Why Saturn makes Saturday the day of structure + karma The best activities for Saturdays Why completion energy matters—and how it clears the way for Sunday’s fresh start The Life Area of SPACE + THINGS and how to work with it for more ease + flow MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The 2026 CENTERED Planner is here!

Thank Venus, it’s Friday!
Thank Venus, it’s Friday! This is part 7 of an 8-part series on the energetics of the days of the week, and today is all about Venus. Venus energy is love, selflessness, higher consciousness, Buddha nature. It rules relationships and all communication around relationships—Divine Love in action. Friday is for expansion through the heart. It’s the ideal day to take relationships to the next level—a perfect day for date nights, community building, acts of kindness and heart-to-heart connection. The Life Area paired with Fridays is Relationships. That includes your relationship to yourself and your inner child, your family and friends, your animals, your community, your higher guidance, and the world. When we get in sync with Venus energy, we tap into creativity and connection—ideating and visioning from Love instead of ego.

Thursday is All About Expansion
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 expanding through service. Expansion energy in action. The key to working with Thursday’s Jupiter vibe? Selflessness. Expansion happens more naturally when we focus on serving others. When you come from a place of seva—of loving service—the abundance flows back to you naturally. Generous people always have more to give. In this episode: Why Jupiter makes Thursday the day of abundance and expansion The Life Area of Mind + Emotions and how to work with it The best activities to schedule on Thursdays How Team D uses Jupiter’s expansive energy for classes, workshops and live events MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: —available exclusively through presale starting Sunday, August 24! —Download the FREE Astro + Events calendar and sync your plans with the planets Follow + Subscribe to With Love, Danielle on for weekly essays + more Join the Energetics of the Days of the Week—catch up on the series!

Every day of the week is governed by a planetary energy—and Wednesday belongs to Mercury. Mercury is spacious, fluid, and all about communication, ideas and expansion. In part 5 of an 8-part series on the energetics of the days of the week, Danielle suggests a rebrand for Wednesday: Forget hump day. Who wants to live a life where the middle of the week is something to “get over”? No, babe. Wednesday is expansive.

Tuesday’s Fiery Energy is for Getting Sh*t Done
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. She breaks down why Tuesday is paired with the Life Area of Livelihood (your work, money, service, leadership), and why planning, not launching, is the best use of this Mars day. You’ll hear how Team D uses Tuesdays as buffer days for strategy, director meetings, and creative jamming—plus, how Danielle preps her energy to hit “go” on Wednesdays. PLUS: a sneak peek of the 2026 Heart Centered Planner glow up—you’ll want to be on the VIP list!

Monday: The Moon’s Day
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 shares something that might surprise (and delight) you: Monday is not the best day for meetings! This counterculture (but not counterintuitive) approach—being gentle with Monday’s energy, and flowing with it—will change your whole 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 and less force in your life. Danielle also shares her “Anything Sundays” practice.

Make Mercury More Freddie and Less Retrograde
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 cleanup period is prime time for letting go and slowing down, to purge and clean out your drawers. Crunchy emotions? Feel them and let them pass through. Be mindful about how we communicate. We can use this energy to create more space and clarity in our lives. In this episode: 2025 Mercury retrograde dates (including the shadow periods that nobody talks about—one to two weeks before and after retrograde) What it actually means (and why it’s not all chaos) A spiritual perspective on why the “backwards” energy is actually a blessing Why merc retro is the best time for letting go—emotionally, physically, digitally Danielle’s “things I will NOT do” list: signing contracts, booking flights, making travel plans Why she burns her journals every 3 to 5 years The Gayatri Mantra as a vibrational tool for this season MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: in the Danielle LaPorte network on Mighty Networks inside the Heart Centered Collective —balance your nervous system to heal your relationships —One-on-one prosperity consciousness mentoring with Danielle Follow + Subscribe to Danielle on for weekly essays + more

“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle...” Behind every perfect photo is a story you don’t see. (photo linked below) This week, Danielle is sharing the real story behind a polished interview with Chase Jarvis—a “successful” professional moment that, behind the scenes, was complete with anxiety medication, heartbreak, mould poisoning and exhaustion. This is the truth about what it looks like to show up when you’re falling apart. And while it’s easy to be judgmental of others, what everyone really needs is the compassion impulse—the assumption that everyone is going through something and filtering it in their own way. In this episode: The real story behind a picture-perfect interview moment Why “don’t believe what everyone’s filtered life looks like” goes deeper than social media The energy cost of judging others’ highlight reels How to activate your compassion impulse instead of criticism Pro tip: when to mute or unfollow accounts that trigger judgment MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: —balance your nervous system to heal your relationships —One-on-one prosperity consciousness mentoring with Danielle Follow + Subscribe to Danielle on for weekly essays + more Join the

She’s sharing exact phrases that work, why intention matters, and how staying in your highest vibration seals off the access points to darkness. Because navigating the darkness and the light can be strenuous business. This is key: don’t give the darkness too much energy or thought.

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.

We’re Dropping the Judgment on Our Way to Unity Consciousness

We’re Dropping the Judgment on Our Way to Unity Consciousness
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 “not spiritual.” TV? Not spiritual. Resentment? Very unspiritual. But when you start loving your human, “negative” behaviours more… you become MUCH COOLER to other people. It’s pretty simple. LOVE THE GNARLY WITHIN—and you know what happens? You become a more Loving person. So… get in, loser. We’re dropping the judgment on our way to unity consciousness. In this episode: How judgment stems from spiritual bypassing The difference between discernment and judgment Community is medicine The cost of categorizing everything as “spiritual” or “not spiritual” A compassionate look at why judgment might just be self-rejection in disguise MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Why AI is Not Your Best Life Coach. —1:1 business mentoring with Danielle Join Take the free

The Most Delicious Abundance Affirmations

The Most Delicious Abundance Affirmations
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 is less strategy, more energy. Get your thoughts set to a higher frequency and two things will happen: better attraction and better decisions. Inner and outer. Energy AND strategy. You’ll attract abundance and you’ll know the best moves to build on it. THE ABUNDANCE AFFIRMATIONS I trust in divine timing. I am aligned with majestic overflow. I welcome deep abundance into my life in all forms. I am deeply supported. My needs are met. I thrive wholeheartedly and completely at all levels and elements. Abundance flows to me freely, and I circulate it openly with love. All that I am, and all that I have, is for appreciating the good in all. In this episode: Spoken abundance affirmations (offered 3x as a full set) Breathing cues to support presence Heart centered awareness—always MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: For more Heart Centered practices + classes: .

The Good News About "Bad" Karma
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 anyone who’s ever wondered, “Why is this happening to me?” or tried to tally their spiritual “points.” Expect clarity, compassion, and a whole lot of energetic truth.

Your Inner Child Is Not the “Younger Version” of You

Your Inner Child Is Not the “Younger Version” of You
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 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 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What in the Woo? 3-part podcast series → Subscribe to .

Are You Ego’ing? What IS the Ego? Do You DO It, or Does It Do You?
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: “Whoops, I was ego-ing. I can get back to Loving.” Because ultimately: Light, shadow, light.

Fawning isn’t just being nice or deferential—it’s a survival mechanism that many of us picked up in childhood, and now it’s messing with our relationships, our confidence, and even our nervous system. She unpacks how fawning isn’t as physiological as fight, flight, or freeze—it’s more of a personality gimmick. We think it’s safer to please other people than to be our authentic selves. And that… erodes trust in every direction. In this episode: The difference between fawning and other stress responses How childhood (and chronic stress) trains us to fawn A real story of working with someone who fawned—and how it impacted trust The connection between fawning and chronic pain or illness Why spiritual practice is the antidote Healing practices to transmute the fawn response with love MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Take the free AI Is Not Your Best Life Coach: Get the full class: 6 Ways To Cleanse Your Energy Field inside —reduce stress and restore your nervous system.

ENERGY EQUITY. My new favourite concept.
I wrote this tagline once for The Sacred: “Girlfriend vibe meets spiritual depth.” I’m going to FULLY deliver on that today. My sister-friend Joey WhatsApp-called me from Egypt. We were in the philosophical MOOD, jacked on temple light and New Moon-ness. These wisdom nuggets are the highlights. In this episode: Girlfriendship is a spiritual practice Energy as currency—and how to build equity What activities earn or cost your energy units The empath’s guide to protecting joy The opportunity cost of overthinking Why change doesn’t need to take time—it needs a decision. Also: Fat-burning and lush hair. Should I start eating meat again? I’m allergic to lash glue. And I just got this Castor Oil with Rosemary from Living Libations that I like for my eyebrows and hair roots. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Heart Centered Collective.

AI Is Not Your Best Life Coach. Emotional Manipulation vs. The Power of Self-Referencing

AI Is Not Your Best Life Coach. Emotional Manipulation vs. The Power of Self-Referencing
I’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 MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Heart Centered Collective.

Suicidal Thoughts That Aren’t Mine

Suicidal Thoughts That Aren’t Mine
Not all of your feelings are yours. Knowing this will help you navigate your entire life with more ease. Feeling other people’s feelings—momentarily or ongoingly, but in a very intentional way—can be a form of service. The more conscious we become, the more “sensing” we will be. And please, this is not to be mistaken with being overly sensitive and dysregulated, okay? I talk about shadow eaters. I talk about empathic normies. I talk about the sensitive folks who need to learn how to NOT carry what they’re picking up on. Because there is NO SENSE or SERVICE in letting the suffering of humanity ruin your capacity to function and re-stabilize in joy. This is the work. In this episode: The day I felt suicidal energy that wasn’t mine Where some feelings actually come from (hint: not your brain) Who the “shadow eaters” are—and why they’re rare Why Love isn’t a feeling (and what it actually is) How to stop overidentifying with suffering Being empathic doesn’t make you more special—it makes you responsible Spiritual support is not optional—it’s essential MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: You’ll need support to stay resilient in these wild times—join I go deeper into chakras + consciousness in my book, Explore spiritual practices and tools at 💌 Get the written version of The Sacred every Friday—a personal letter from Danielle, with exclusive photos you won’t find anywhere else.

You Are an IMMORTAL BIRD! (And Why It’s Darkest Before the Dawn)

You Are an IMMORTAL BIRD! (And Why It’s Darkest Before the Dawn)
I’ve been in a pendulum swing of suffering and joy lately—and as ever, I hope what I share is a popcorn trail through the dark for you. Because there’s always another side. This episode is inspired by a poem from D.H. Lawrence that’s become a mantra for me: “Are you willing to be made nothing?” The Phoenix only renews when she’s burnt to flocculent ash. Immortal bird, anyone? This is my unfiltered download on what it means to truly rise. I’m talking about sacred surrender, resilience as your true nature, why guilt is a pathway to innocence, and how even a day of crying in bed can be an act of devotion. Plus, I riff on my philosopher boyfriends (Krishnamurti and Leonard Cohen) and my metaphysical bestie, Manly P. Hall. This one’s personal and poetic—just how I like it. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: – A free live class to help you choose—and stick to, better habits. Saturday, March 29 at 9am PT | 12pm ET. – For deeper teachings on Acceptance, Compassion + Soul Qualities last speaking Immersion.

How to Use Ritual to Make Your Habits (Finally) Stick
Are you waiting on better habits to fix your life? We’re going esoterically practical today. I’m talking about the difference between habits and rituals. Habits are from the intellect. Rituals are from the heart. One can burn you out, the other can bless your life. In Eps 174 of With Love, Danielle, I walk you through a handful of practices that have supported me over the years: a ritual for connecting to your inner child, a list of what you trust (to calm the nervous system), chanting your own name (yep, it’s powerful), and looking into your own eyes with loving-kindness. You’ll leave with real things you can try today—and a personal invitation to my free class: THE RITUALS CLASS Practices to help you choose—and stick to, better habits.Saturday, March 29 9am PT | 12pm ET In this episode: The real difference between rituals and habits (and why it matters) Why most habit advice leads to burnout, not peace How ritual infuses your actions with meaning, energy, and love Why discipline can numb the mind (Krishnamurti said it best) How to bless your habits with Divine support Mentioned in this episode: Join the free class: THE RITUALS CLASS Saturday, March 29 | 9am PT | 12pm ET – Spiritual direction, monthly soul sessions, beautiful community and practices that help you stay steady.

What The Sphinx Told Me

You don’t have to go to Cairo to have these revelations… but evidently, I had to. Some of these learnings are deeply personal. All of what I’m attempting to translate is beyond words. There are layers I can’t describe. This feels like going braless at my art opening. But this is me, and this is my art.

In this episode: What The Sphinx told me about gratitude—it changes everything. A French tour guide unknowingly confirmed my prayers at the Temple of Horus. Why problems need to be brought to the altar to be solved. The answer I received about the heartbreak of the world.
