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.

What do you associate with rejection? What’s the antidote to rejection? What does liberation mean to you? What does ”spiritual success” mean to you? And what do these questions have to do with more emotional intimacy in all of your relationships…? Everything! Nothing about another person makes us suffer. Healing is loving the unloved parts of ourselves. It’s that simple (and profound and life-long.) Listen in to this highlight from the MUCH DEEPER INTIMACY workshop in the Heart Centered Membersh...
Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Zeppelin… what’s your creative archetype? And what’s the Divine Feminine principle got to do with your creative edge? A lot. In Episode 138 of With Love, Danielle, we’re defining creative integrity in whacky times—no matter how tempting tech might be. Want to read the Slack memo I sent to my team about ChapGPT? Ya! (Spoiler: it’s a tool, not a replacement for your brilliance). Presence cannot be outsourced. It is not going to fool the heart. Let’s do th...
I’ve been thinking a LOT about the concept of mercy this year. My very basic definition: Mercy is when we just wish for someone to catch a break. That simple. Mercy is the bonus deal that comes from Compassion. Today I’m rolling through the spiritual and practical definition of COMPASSION. What does it look like according to the mystics, and what does it look like in our emails and our self care? Side note: I know we’re all extra full of emotions these days. And I know giving your full attention...
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.” Bookmark this post and save this episode because it’s designed to be a tool to use on a regular basis I’m giving you 5 RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION ...
Loves, Self love is easy when we’ve got our sh*t together. Courageous, outspoken, PRODUCTIVE. Check. Check. Check. I’m more interested in what happens when we’re not at our “best.” I want us to love the unlovable parts––and mean it. Not “love” the gnarly bits so they’ll change. That's’ not self love. That self-deception. I have some LOVE NOTE CUES for you. You can journal to these, or listen along and cry or laugh at your mortal coil. You don’t need to send them. But for sure, I bet these are LO...
Today, we’re diving into a weekly reflection exercise from my Heart Centered Planner. It’s all about reflecting on your week—what’s working, what’s not, and celebrating progress. I’m encouraging you to take a 360-degree look at your life—mind, body, relationships, work, and play. I’ll guide you through questions to reflect on your highlights, lowlights, and the important question: What’s better than it was? And remember—loving kindness is key. This is how we live reflectively instead of reactive...

Let’s talk about goals! I’m getting real about my love/hate relationship with goal setting in this episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE. After 15 years of trial and error, I’m sharing how to set Heart Centered goals — the kind that come from your soul, not your ego. Ever crushed a goal and thought, “I should’ve aimed higher”? Or set one and realized it wasn’t what you really wanted? I feel you. Let’s reframe it and aim for goals that expand, heal, and serve. Together, we’ll explore the difference betw...

Creativity, crushing your gimmicks, the divine hand of timing, intuition… AND the launch of The 2025 Heart Centered Planner ! “Bring efficiency and the spiritual path together in a beautiful way.” 12 Theories for Creatives: The errors I will never make again, how I embrace ALL forms of customer feedback, and why The Desire Map was only the beginning. “For anyone who wants to make anything.” The Desire Map grew up. A new question emerged. Eps 129 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is a story of success, fail...
Today, I'm going to offer you a poetic, prayerful something in honor of rest, in honor of authenticity, in honor of the fact that team D is taking essentially the whole month of August to just go into chill mode. And if you are in a place where you can do so, I'm inviting encouraging, trying to live by example for you to do the same by chill mode. Eps 128 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is deep and sweet. And just for you. I will be back in September with all new, fresh episodes. We're keeping it deep on...
We don’t actually need a pep talk about our worthiness. Because…We’re all “worthy.” And the “worthiness” questioning is, actually, absurd. No one needs to quantify or qualify themselves for Love. Not one Soul, ever. We don’t have to establish if we deserve more ease, happiness, or Loving Kindness. Here it is: when we spend energy questioning and bidding to see if we’re valued or worthy…it distracts us from healing. All that asking and validation seeking actually creates MORE confusion and percei...
With all the items on your daily spiritual checklist, you might be wondering, how do I know if this is really working? In fact, it’s been a guiding question of mine: How do you know if all you are doing to be well is helping you be well? Hint : It’s not about the green juice, or mala beads, or escaping to beautiful Bali (although, those are cool too)... Episode 126 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is a BEST OF episode from last summer, one of our most popular episodes to date—8 Signs That You’re Healing. ...
The seeds of our desires get watered by… our focus! But manifestation is a balancing act of intense focus and relaxed Faith. Episode 125 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is a BEST OF episode from last summer, one of our most popular episodes to date—How Focus Improves Your Manifesting We’re going a few layers deep about: How to increase the INTENSITY of your focus––which directly correlates to your creative power and ability to make things happen. The best use of free will––we get to choose the thoughts w...
When I think about being loved by The Divine, protected, supported… I think about how I love my son. It’s my closest experience to being an Almighty Authority and oft’ disrespected Deity, but Ultimately Adored Creator 🥰 I’m going to connect the dots to caring for kids and wondering if God has a plan for humanity. Stick with me, it’s a good trip. Other Qs I attempted to answer are: How to heal yourself when you’re caregiving for someone else Dealing with angry, super annoying fools And why I hav...
Really deep questions + pleas for encouragement are the soundtrack of my life! AND... it's the vibe of this Q&A session. "Whatchya think about climate collapse, grandchildren, fertility, water?" I have so many thoughts to share––many of them are OUT THERE. "I get a lot of anxiety when I have something good on the horizon. Tools to deal with that?" Let me explain why this is a natural (albeit annoying) human phenomenon. Eps 123 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is a shadow-light conversation. Might be c...
To be seen, heard, felt, understood is a HUMAN REQUIREMENT. But there are healthy, more conscious ways to go about getting these essential needs met. Today’s episode is a highlight from our recent Life Workshop: ACTUALLY HEALTHY VALIDATION where we explore: When and why do you reach out for validation? What part of you is seeking validation? What part of you is giving validation? If you were more Heart Centered, how would that shift your relationship to validation? This episode of WITH LOVE, DAN...
I started the Heart Centered Membership a bit begrudgingly and over-identified as an introvert 🤗. Now, it's the diamond of everything I do. I feel humbled, guided and honour-bound to our community. In love. Thursdays at 1pm are my favourite. I’ve made heaps of cringey career mistakes. And… the ONE thing that I’ve done right, that’s fuelled so much growth, got down to a specific kind of courage. The courage to change in front of people. Episode 121 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is for Creatives, Leader...

I make zero apologies for doing what others might call “woo woo” business. Our astro and seasonal orientation is wise and EFFECTIVE. And by “effective,” I mean that the nervous system of our business is HEALTHY––not much drama, team cohesion, and our bottom line is also healthy and happy. Why do I NOT have meetings on Mondays? Why do I launch my podcast on Wednesdays? When is the best day of the week for your dreaming and creative jamming? This episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (118) is a wise word...
In this intimate episode, Danielle LaPorte delves into the profound life lessons learned from planning and experiencing her wedding. She candidly discusses personal challenges like a beauty mishap and mold toxicity, connecting them to broader themes of benevolent leadership and radical self-acceptance. The episode highlights the spiritual practice of simplicity, the powerful rituals within the ceremony—including unique vows and heartfelt speeches—and the alchemical effect of commitment witnessed by community, ultimately shaping a new, integrated reality.
After we have poured our love into the container of a relationship, we know that ebb and flow is life. We get really, really intentional about creating space for vulnerability because that's the sacred stuff. We have faith that we can repair pretty much anything. There are a lot of universal reasons that relationships thrive. V.S. (our resident energy healer) and I have collaborated to narrow this down to our take on the 10 key reasons. Today’s EPS 116 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE provides practical i...
Discernment is a power tool. We can be loving and open hearted AND, have a keen listening if someone is trustworthy. We can give the benefit of the doubt and rely on the Divine…. AND… we can hear from a place of wisdom––so we protect what’s precious, collab with people who can rock with us, and just generally have more grace in our lives. Today’s EPS 115 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is some discernment coaching. We can love EVERYBODY. We should team with people we can trust––and the signs are all ther...
Metrics. Obsessive goal-setting. Hacking. “Disruption” for the sake of being disruptive. These tactics are the opposite of life-giving. How can we restore ourselves and work after these recent years of whackness? Curious how a multi- 7-figure business can thrive without perpetuating burnout culture? LESS FORCE, MORE FLOW. When we say, “We're going with the flow,” what we're really declaring is that we’re in sync with The Divine Creative Principle. Life force. It’s ever-generative—there’s always ...
Who needs a love story with a bunch of PRACTICAL cues for working through arguments, repairing, and building every kind of intimacy? I have one for you! Today it’s WITH LOVE, DANIELLE… and WILL! Eps 113 is deeply personal and FUN AF! We’re getting married soon and now I’m telling the how-we-met story, how guarded I was, and when I declared “I want to be your person!” Jump cut to managing our triggers, couples counseling, and our now legendary “Friday Check In Process”... that I super eff’d up ea...
People think Inner Child is like walking down dark alleys, but it's actually about opening your heart and getting really, really… free. Your Inner Child is not a problem. Your fear and pain are not problems. They are energies that we use for becoming whole. And powerful. Here’s a highlight from our BIG ENERGY WORKSHOP. We’re not just revisiting old wounds—we’re understanding them as sources of immense strength and energy. WITH LOVE, DANIELLE (Eps 112) is ready for you… to reconnect and transform...
My Friends… “Brain” and “mind” are not interchangeable terms. Your brain is the complex organ that controls thought, memory... every process that regulates your body. Your mind is the conduit of your CONSCIOUSNESS. We talk a lot about rewiring neural pathways in the brain for wellness––and that’s essential and powerful work. But I think we should first focus on reorienting our minds. ENERGY FOLLOWS THOUGHT. Raising our consciousness raises the quality of our thoughts… which helps govern our gray...
A question we all want the answer to: If we can’t rush the healing, how do we handle the pain? Learning to not push away my pain—the physical and emotional, has been one of my greatest-hardest-most luminous learnings. It’s walking toward Acceptance––capital “A” Acceptance, the Soul Quality, And it really has upleveled my LIFE. Here’s a highlight from our HOW TO HEAL FOR REAL WORKSHOP. V.S., our metaphysical practitioner and I built out a teaching about resistance and dis-ease. This was my most h...
