WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

Danielle LaPortedaniellelaporte.com
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.

Downsizing as a Spiritual Practice and How to Make the Best Decision

Loves… I’m attempting to be useful in two ways today. BONUS. 1) Let’s talk about decision making, how to know when it’s right or wrong. 2) And how the ego loves to look good. And thus! how letting go of status concepts can be radically liberating and HEALING. I once traded a status symbol (sexy Audi, FAST) for a soul symbol (pre-owned VW, FREE). Turns out, less status = more me. More LIFE. In this episode: How the ego masks self-worth struggles with status symbols The surprising freedom in less ...

A Prayer of Transmutation

The Prayer of St. Francis is a magnificent prayer for becoming the Divine counterbalance. You can speak this to your Soul or the God of your understanding. Bear in mind the universal law: “For it is in giving that we receive.” So we are taught by Saint Francis: “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” This isn’t necessarily literal death. It’s a dying of the old ways and our illusions of separateness. It’s the awareness that our oneness is eternal life. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Y...

Best of With Love, Danielle: What’s Your Relationship to Mornings

We’ve been talking a lot about habits and rituals lately in our Heart Centered Membership community and classes. And our new Heart Centered planner includes a “habit tracker.” ‘Tis the season, right?

I Open My Heart: A Prayer

A prayer by Danielle which emphasizes deepening and expanding one's being to give and receive love, dissolving fear and grievances, and extending loving hearts to all relationships and offerings. Real Love is a boundless energy. Sending Loving thoughts toward another human is never an energy drain. Ever. Forget the notion that we could feel “too Loving.” Remember: Love and Compassion look insane to the ego. Our modern culture itself is an egoic structure (us vs. them, gain vs. give). Everywhere ...

January 1 Is Not The New Year

Personally, I never vibed with January 1 as a new year… I felt slightly slothy in comparison to everyone else starting Q1 objectives and “New Year New You” launches, while I was still in my fun bun reviewing my previous year and NOT hitting reply on anything. (Does that sound familiar for you too?) In Episode 150 of With Love, Danielle we’ll dive into this and I’ll show you why and how to get in sync with natural rhythms and planetary cycles. Because JANUARY 1 IS *NOT* THE NEW YEAR… not actually...

Don’t take the emotional bait.

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 e...
