Episode notes

We were so incredibly honoured to sit down with Danielle LaPorte in our shared hometown to talk about the ego, living a heart centred life, and ultimately ask, "When is enough self improvement enough?" Danielle is the real deal, no BS, wise and spiritual down to earth guide we have looked up to for years; and finally, she brings her presence and wisdom to the pod.

If you are someone who has struggled with feeling like you are on an endless wheel of self improvement with no actual love or end in sight...you are in the right place. Danielle shares how she once had multiple astrology, shaman-led, and psychotherapy sessions in a week (or in a day!) and how so many of these well-intentioned practices actually kept her from the deep healing she truly needed. One day she realized that the self-help just wasn't helping; and that gave birth to more freedom and more love in her life.

Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.”

Her most recent book, "How To Be Loving…when your heart is breaking open and the world is waking up" has been our bedside table reading the past few months and now lives alongside her incredible library of written and visual content. Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, often ranks in iTunes’ top 10 for wellness.

Danielle is loved deeply by the spiritual community and Marianne Williamson herself refers to Danielle “as a bright light.”

And in this conversation, we address:

-What is ego and what is its purpose?

-How to befriend and live with ego (not kill it!)

-Why Danielle no longer goes to therapy

-How to discern whether you are taking actions from your "wounded self" vs. "healed self"

-Living from the heart vs. reacting to the mind
