WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

Latest Episodes:

Suffering. And the radiance you'll find on the other side. Oct 20, 2019

Show notes

This is about suffering (mine in particular). And the radiance that comes after we all suffer. This isn't a woe is me recount. I offer my stories for the sake of community, for potentially softening your learning curve, and for hope. I'm convinced that by sharing our stories of getting through struggle, we help each other heal.

In this episode I also POUR ON THE HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT for those of us in similar circumstances. Please listen if you're in need. daniellelaporte.com/withlove

Keeping it real and keeping the peace: A few tips for family visits Oct 17, 2019

Show notes

My fellow grown up, let's get you centered in your truth and prepped for family gatherings… so you don't end up in the bathroom drunk-dialing your therapist, or your highschool sweetheart (who's now married with 3 kids).

You have the inner resources. Acceptance! Self respect! Compassion! And so much LOVE! I have some ideas for staying sane (and ideally: being your most loving self), even if you want to get the hell out of there: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

The narcissist + the empath. How to have compassion AND healthy standards. Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

You'd think that as empathetic humans, who are so attuned to our own feelings, we'd know immediately when someone has jacked into our own life force. But we just keep tolerating toxic dynamics in the name of compassion.

Here's how to apply your compassion with DISCERNMENT when it comes to narcissists… daniellelaporte.com/withlove

The dance of self-forgiveness Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

So many of us grip our mistakes because we never want to make them (and hurt anybody) again. But the moving forward can only happen when you can really forgive yourself. It's possible. And there's a sequence to it. Here's how I practice: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

How to be classy when things don't work out as expected Oct 06, 2019

Show notes

Loss brings out our truest self. And while grace doesn't come naturally to all of us—especially when we lose—it can be cultivated… if you go out of your way to be grateful. Let me tell you a story. It all starts in the ladies room, in a snowy city, five minutes before my curtain call… daniellelaporte.com/withlove

When you feel like you have nothing to offer. (And our obsession with productivity.) Oct 03, 2019

Show notes

When you feel like you have nothing to offer—TRUST your rhythms. Rest. Regenerate. Do what it takes to be well. Our culture confuses productivity-output-achievement with self-worth. To unhook from that fiction: daniellelaporte.com/withlove

When you can't have a direct conversation, go for the Higher Self. Sep 29, 2019

Show notes

When things are brutally difficult with somebody, sometimes the healthiest thing is to have a non-verbal, encouragement convo. When you can't safely/bravely express yourself in this realm, then use an esoteric channel—speak to the other person's Higher Self. It might be the best conversation you've ever had. daniellelaporte.com/withlove

Create a "What I Trust" list. And exhale. Sep 26, 2019

Show notes

I've gotten in the habit of creating a "What I Trust" list before a big gig or opportunity, or when any situation feels wobbly. Often we're fixated on firing up endorphins (and there are times for that), that we forget that feeling assured and comforted is where the real power is. Calm and centered is magnetic.

The "What I Trust" list is for focus and soothing your nervous system.

Instead of mustering bravado about things that we hope are true, we root into what we viscerally know we can rely on.

So… what do you trust?

Heart-centered manifesting: plans that also serve the collective. Sep 22, 2019

Show notes

It's too late in the day, and too hot, crowded, and a little too painful on the planet, to be focused solely on personal attainment. Manifestation is a technology, and like all technologies, I pray that we use it to generate more loving realities for ourselves and for each other.

You can still reach for the dream job, the healthy bod', and the love of your life. You get to want what you want. Always. I'm saying: want all of those things, AND incorporate other people's wellness in your vision. Pray that when you receive those things, it will make you more generous, more joyous, more healthy… more able to contribute to the collective happiness of everybody around you.

This episode is a roundup of the potential mis-steps of popular manifestation techniques, and an invitation for something deeper and unifying.

Arguing with your inner critic? There's a much better way. Sep 19, 2019

Show notes

The first thing to do with that inner critic voice is to have compassion for it. (This is counterintuitive because we live in a performance-based culture that thrives on judgement.) Approach with love—then instead of creating further separation from your heart, you're building a bridge.

Anytime you bring compassion to a situation you will see it more clearly. Compassion is the light of Love. It's the true power source. Speak of it often.

Here's some direction: daniellelaporte.com/withlove
