Summary
In this episode of The Align Podcast, Danielle and I dive deep into our emotions, what they mean and how to tap into our consciousness. We debate the masculine and feminine energies and how each of us has a different right of passage when growing up. We then discuss the ego, what it means and how it differs from wisdom. Danielle also tells us how her perception of the heart shifted over the years, what the best kind of therapy is and how to be your healthiest self.
