Welcome to the commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasnow. Today I'm excited to bring you yet another

fantastic lesson from the commune library. You'll be hearing from author and speaker and dear friend

Danielle Laporte. Her commune program titled The Desire Map Course is 10 days of videos

and downloadable worksheets that give your goal setting methods a much-needed makeover by showing you that

desire, not deadlines, is what creates the necessary motivation to show up passionately and fully for your own life.

In this episode, Danielle discusses appreciation as a praxis of well-being.

Danielle is always about fostering clarity, about how to get clear on your core desired feelings,

As you may know, in addition to being a podcast, Commune is also a video course platform

featuring a wide range of programs from top teachers

on personal growth, yoga, meditation, spirituality, functional medicine, nutrition,

and social impact, essentially everything that you need in your life to be holistically well.
