WITH LOVE, DANIELLE
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.

We’re Dropping the Judgment on Our Way to Unity Consciousness
I think judgment of others can be a byproduct of spiritual bypassing. All us self-helpers… lean in. Basically, spiritual bypassing is when we paint negative experiences as "spiritually positive” before we’ve actually felt the very human, negative feelings. Because we are secretly judging ourselves for having not very pretty or “spiritual” emotions and experiences. And the offshoot of self recrimination is that you become really f*cking JUDGY with others. That’s one of the most harmful parts of spiritual bypassing—that everything gets categorized as either “spiritual” or “not spiritual.” TV? Not spiritual. Resentment? Very unspiritual. But when you start loving your human, “negative” behaviours more… you become MUCH COOLER to other people. It’s pretty simple. LOVE THE GNARLY WITHIN—and you know what happens? You become a more Loving person. So… get in, loser. We’re dropping the judgment on our way to unity consciousness. In this episode: How judgment stems from spiritual bypassing The difference between discernment and judgment Community is medicine The cost of categorizing everything as “spiritual” or “not spiritual” A compassionate look at why judgment might just be self-rejection in disguise MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Why AI is Not Your Best Life Coach.

The Good News About "Bad" Karma
Waiting for karma to bite someone back? Here’s the twist… In the final installment of the What In the Woo? series, Danielle dives deep into one of the most misunderstood concepts in spirituality: karma. Far from being a cosmic punishment system, karma is the Soul’s invitation to restore balance—and it’s way more compassionate than most of us think. In this episode, Danielle unpacks the true essence of karma: the ego generates the negative, the heart creates the positive, and every experience—no matter how painful—is a chance to come back into alignment. This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered, “Why is this happening to me?” or tried to tally their spiritual “points.” Expect clarity, compassion, and a whole lot of energetic truth. In this episode: The truth about negative karma (it’s not personal punishment) How the ego creates energy knots—and how the heart unravels them Why “bad” karma is really your Soul calling you home What real positive karma feels like (hint: it’s selfless and freeing) How the Universe always bends toward balance, no matter what MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What in the Woo? 3-part podcast series → Subscribe to WITH LOVE, DANIELLE.

19 Things I Tried to Teach My Son
In some particular order, here’s how I attempted to entrain my only child into higher consciousness, mostly by example, but often by preaching in the kitchen while making burritos. Turns out that the kid incarnated as a wise soul, and my hot air was just some wind beneath his wings. This is for the parents, the kids, and the divine relationships that shape who we become. In this episode: Why relationships > everything The power of posture The no-BS rules around money + media How beauty, rock n’ roll, and boredom raise consciousness Oversharing, emotional fluency, and saying sorry fast MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What in the Woo? 3-part podcast series → Subscribe to WITH LOVE, DANIELLE.

Are You Ego’ing? What IS the Ego? Do You DO It, or Does It Do You?
The ego… your shadow… is a POWER PORTAL. For years, I thought I had to punish all my ego-centric’isms—manipulating to get my needs met, constant striving to burn my karma, pretending to behave. But actually? I’ve needed to assimilate… embrace… and talk sweetly to my shadows. The ego is the unhealed part of us. More precisely, “it’s the way our unhealed self acts.” It’s not a villain—it’s a pattern. And that “pattern” is always trying to protect you from heartbreak or rejection. What if, instead of saying That’s my ego I need to get in check… we just said: “Whoops, I was ego-ing. I can get back to Loving.” Because ultimately: Light, shadow, light. In this episode: A liberating definition of the ego (that’s not outdated personal growth dogma) Why bravado and deep insecurity are both ego disguises “Ego’ing” vs. Loving—how to tell the difference Why ego is not your enemy—and what it’s really asking for MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What in the Woo? 3-part podcast series → Subscribe to WITH LOVE, DANIELLE.

Danielle shares community responses—insightful, and deeply felt—and reflects on why spiritual maturity requires discernment, and why human-to-human healing will always remain irreplaceable. In this episode: Why dependency on AI for spiritual direction is dangerous How AI can fawn instead of truly support—and why that matters Community perspectives: cautious, hopeful, clear-eyed The real cost of convenience when it comes to creativity + soul Why authentic connection still matters more than ever And Danielle’s off-the-cuff response to the baiter debaters MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: AI Is Not Your Best Life Coach: LISTEN | READ The (Significant) Downside to Fawning: LISTEN | READ Eoin Finn’s YOGA OPTIMIZED—look into it here.

The (Significant) Downside of Fawning
Fawning is a trauma response. And it’s one we don’t talk about enough. In this episode, Danielle is digging into fawning as a default stress response. Most people misunderstand it. Fawning isn’t just being nice or deferential—it’s a survival mechanism that many of us picked up in childhood, and now it’s messing with our relationships, our confidence, and even our nervous system. She unpacks how fawning isn’t as physiological as fight, flight, or freeze—it’s more of a personality gimmick. We think it’s safer to please other people than to be our authentic selves. And that… erodes trust in every direction. In this episode: The difference between fawning and other stress responses How childhood (and chronic stress) trains us to fawn A real story of working with someone who fawned—and how it impacted trust The connection between fawning and chronic pain or illness Why spiritual practice is the antidote Healing practices to transmute the fawn response with love MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Take the free Stressed to Blessed Quiz AI Is Not Your Best Life Coach: LISTEN | READ Get the full class: 6 Ways To Cleanse Your Energy Field inside The Heart Centered Collective Nourish System—reduce stress and restore your nervous system.
