WITH LOVE, DANIELLE – Details, episodes & analysis

Today is about confusion… that leads to clarity… that leads to closure.

Because we all want closure when we've been hurt, don't we?

No one wants to live with the mess of being betrayed… dumped… cast out… lied to… gossiped about… canceled… or abandoned.

In Eps 146 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE, I’m sharing a personal story of extreme emotionality and what I’m doing to find closure.

I’m breaking it all down into 3 steps for you. This is how we heal.

With Love,
Danielle

Loves,

Today we’re diving into Shenpa—a Tibetan Buddhist term that’s translated as attachment, but it’s much more than that. It’s the hook, that triggering force that pulls us into habitual patterns of closing down. It’s the contraction reaction, not a conscious response. 

You know that tight feeling? That’s Shenpa. It’s our soul’s invitation for integrity, pushing us to grow.

Episode 145 of With Love, Danielle is about noticing the hook and making a better decision. It’s about not taking the emotional bait. 

So that the next time you get triggered, take a breath, recognize the hook, and ask yourself, What’s my soul inviting me to do here?

With Love,
Danielle

Loves,

I know when you’re in the middle of an argument or you want to curse out someone in your DMs, I know you pause a beat because you intend to do the kinder thing. We don't want to do harm. We really truly want to be the chill Buddha babe and breathe.

This works for me in arguments with my man. Deep breath, “Love my way through, love my way through.”

I’m breaking tradition on my one woman podcast to introduce you to someone who I think is an earth angel: Randy Watson, founder of Ally Global Foundation. Everytime I meet with Randy I leave feeling shocked and hopeful in equal measure.

Ally Global helps survivors of human trafficking find healing through safe housing, education, and aftercare. 

A request: PLEASE LISTEN. Learn with me. I’ve been paying attention to this global issue since my days of running a think tank in Washington, DC., when I toured The Center for Missing and Exploited Children. 

In this conversation, you’re going to hear how perpetrators get access to kids of all ages and communities and begin a cycle of seduction and fear. Girls from upper class communities to marginalized kids; A+ students with doting parents to kids lost in the social care system. I was stunned to hear what’s going on in my own city.

You’ll also hear stories of bravery and healing. 

And hopefully you’ll be compelled to help us raise awareness and funds to help protect and heal survivors.

Astral body, mental body, auric field… nervous system… sound system… What’s it all mean, really? I have a very simple breakdown for these things of monumental importance to our wellbeing. All things I wish I knew more about when I was twenty, eating New Age books for breakfast and generally avoiding Mother Nature.

In this short episode we’re going into:
Explanations of astral body, mental body, emotional body, and… What hangs out in your auric field anyway?
PLUS! The 101 on our nervous system and why nourishing it should be our #1 focus.

This is Love for ALL your bodies.
Tune in, be well, vitalize your life.

There are times to go to the mat for what you believe in. And… in my experience… MOST of the time… disengaging from duking it out is a very very good idea. Maybe even the BEST idea. For your nervous system, for world peace.

And it’s the hardest move. Because the fear-mind really loves to prove who’s right or wrong and it loves to win in court—whether that court is an online chat about who should be canceled, or an argument about who left the toilet seat up.

This podcast began with a call from a friend who was in a litigious situation with a royal pain in the ass associate. My friend was sooooo clearly in the right and their opponent was so clearly… not cool.

“So what if you gave the conflict just zero more energy?” Zero. More. Energy.

“What if you loved yourself so much that you didn’t take the hook?” Loved… yourself so much…

And with that, I invite you to consider not taking the bait to fight. This is episode #45 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE and I’m seriously rooting for your peace of mind.

There’s so much that we want good n’ GONE. But here’s the thing: nothing is leaving your life or your thought patterns until you give it the light of your consciousness—your love. You’re not condoning more pain or poor behavior, but you’re moving into a greater presence with it. And so the grip starts to relax, and both you AND the dynamic (or person or circumstance) can truly peace out.

Everything that you create—relationship dynamics, fear and obsessions, body pain—wants to get your attention and eventually come into balance. Think of it this way: our thoughts and life situations are like our little baby creations. Fear babies. Gloom babies. Shadow babies. (And all the positive creations like brilliance and resilience…) All of those babies just need a minute of calm, heart centered feedback. And then they evolve. Less trying to “cut cords” and push away, and more… presence. 

In this episode of With Love, Danielle, I’m talking about pivoting toward the heart, letting go of pain and getting free… for real.

Why do we do meditations on the Full Moon? What’s the “dark of the moon?” Does… it have anything to do with Pink Floyd? Is the moon “feminine” energy and the sun “masculine” energy? And why should we pay attention to this at all?

This is my pragmatic-as-possible perspective on the super woo and super misperceptions about our relationship to the sun + moon—and why we should be very mindful about those connections. I’m also talking about Heart Centered Altars and creating those sacred spaces in our homes.

My Heart Centered Altar Kit walks you through how to create a personal altar in accordance with nature and astrological alignments—that’s dedicated to the well-being of all. So beautiful. This practice comes as a bonus when you become a Heart Centered Member. Explore here: daniellelaporte.com/membership

In the personal development realm, discussion around Forgiveness tends to focus on us Forgiving the other person for what they apparently did.

But what about asking for Forgiveness? And, if I may, I want to take that a step further and talk about asking for Forgiveness from the person you think owes YOU an apology.

In this episode of With Love, Danielle (#42), I’m going to tell you a personal story about digging deep for accountability––and the euphoria of fessing up.

I hope this sparks heaps of reconciliation across the whole wide world. And if it does, tell me all about it. Forgiveness stories are my favourite.

The activities that we do most habitually create the deepest grooves in the mind. All that repetition gets us hooked on the behaviour––that could be a good thing, could be a bad thing. It depends on what the behaviour is.

Then there are the times in our lives when we bust out of habits and we do something new. What I’m interested in talking about is the motivation beneath the “new things” we try. Because sometimes it’s the ego pushing us to prove ourselves. And sometimes, it’s our Soul moving us toward real expansion.

In this episode, I’m talking about aversions + desire (they are mates.) And the drive to be a more conscious person by doing new things, versus, the ego’s compulsion to check off impressive sh*t on a bucket list.
