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.

Today is Part 2 of the 3 part What In the Woo? Series—offering a fresh perspective on how to work with the term “Inner Child.”  The Inner Child is not your younger self—it’s the wounded, emotional, shadowy part within, asking for healing. Your Inner Child isn’t you when you were 8 years old. Inner Child is a really effectual term for the part of us that hasn’t healed yet—the wounded self, the fragmented self. Interchangeable with the ego or shadow self.  The part of you that gets triggered, goes into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn? That’s your Inner Child asking for attention and love. The gift of the Inner Child is that they’re always pointing to what’s unresolved within us.  Anxiety attacks before big events, losing your phone while hustling, getting sick when you’re pushing too hard? Those aren’t accidents—they’re calls for compassion, not "tough love." True spiritual growth happens when we hold space for our Inner Child reactions—gently, lovingly, without judgment. Reparenting our unmet needs into creative power... and that’s Inner Child work. In this episode: How the Inner Child represents your unconscious self Why Inner Child healing transforms emotional triggers How self-sabotage moments are really spiritual SOS signals The power of gentleness vs. tough love How to spiritually grow up through reparenting MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What in the Woo? 3-part podcast series → Subscribe to WITH LOVE, DANIELLE.

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.

There’s curiosity. There’s concern. There’s some serious side-eye.  Danielle’s essay, “AI IS NOT YOUR BEST LIFE COACH,” stirred up a flood of responses—some celebratory, some cautionary. In this episode, she goes deeper into our growing relationship with AI—from life coaching to spiritual support—and asks: What happens when we start outsourcing our inner wisdom to technology? There’s more than one side to this conversation.  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.  Join The Heart Centered Collective for just $7/month Nourish System—reduce stress and restore your nervous system.

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.

I’ve never used ChatGPT. Couldn’t tell you how to do it. So, not surprisingly… I’ve never used AI for life guidance. And I never will. Because turning to algorithms for soul advice? That’s not evolution—it’s devolution.  But…asking AI for life advice and personal goal-setting is ACTUALLY TRENDING.  Heavy sigh. This week, I’m naming what’s happening underneath all the dopamine hits.  We’ve worked too hard to break free from shallow psychotherapists and profit-centric Priestesses to fall for Chat-f*cking-GPT subbing as our next spiritual advisor. Want real wisdom? Put the phone down. It’s less sexy, and the dopamine is modest. But the results of self-referencing and a loving support system lead to your radiant power.

Not all of your feelings are yours. Knowing this will help you navigate your entire life with more ease. Feeling other people’s feelings—momentarily or ongoingly, but in a very intentional way—can be a form of service. The more conscious we become, the more “sensing” we will be. And please, this is not to be mistaken with being overly sensitive and dysregulated, okay? I talk about shadow eaters. I talk about empathic normies. I talk about the sensitive folks who need to learn how to NOT carry what they’re picking up on. Because there is NO SENSE or SERVICE in letting the suffering of humanity ruin your capacity to function and re-stabilize in joy. This is the work.

I’ve been in a pendulum swing of suffering and joy lately—and as ever, I hope what I share is a popcorn trail through the dark for you. Because there’s always another side. This episode is inspired by a poem from D.H. Lawrence that’s become a mantra for me: “Are you willing to be made nothing?” The Phoenix only renews when she’s burnt to flocculent ash. Immortal bird, anyone? This is my unfiltered download on what it means to truly rise. I’m talking about sacred surrender, resilience as your true nature, why guilt is a pathway to innocence, and how even a day of crying in bed can be an act of devotion.  Plus, I riff on my philosopher boyfriends (Krishnamurti and Leonard Cohen) and my metaphysical bestie, Manly P. Hall.  This one’s personal and poetic—just how I like it. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Rituals Class – A free live class to help you choose—and stick to, better habits.

Are you waiting on better habits to fix your life? We’re going esoterically practical today. I’m talking about the difference between habits and rituals. Habits are from the intellect. Rituals are from the heart. One can burn you out, the other can bless your life. In Eps 174 of With Love, Danielle, I walk you through a handful of practices that have supported me over the years: a ritual for connecting to your inner child, a list of what you trust (to calm the nervous system), chanting your own name (yep, it’s powerful), and looking into your own eyes with loving-kindness.  You’ll leave with real things you can try today—and a personal invitation to my free class: THE RITUALS CLASS Practices to help you choose—and stick to, better habits.

The Prayer of St. Francis is a magnificent prayer for becoming the Divine counterbalance. You can speak this to your Soul or the God of your understanding.  Bear in mind the universal law: “For it is in giving that we receive.” So we are taught by Saint Francis: “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.” This isn’t necessarily literal death. It’s a dying of the old ways and our illusions of separateness. It’s the awareness that our oneness is eternal life.

Our 2025 Daily edition of the Heart Centered planner revived a simple exercise called the What I Trust list.  So for this episode of With Love, Danielle we are reaching back into the archives and choosing this episode as a BEST OF. Instead of mustering bravado about things that we hope are true, root into what we viscerally know we can rely on. This is an effective way to dissolve your anxiety and balance your nervous system. So, what do you trust? Focus on the present. The point of this exercise is to access the trust that you already have. It’s unwavering and true for you. This is not about building new trust or visualizing outcomes. We’re concentrating on what is currently working. Write it out. It’s helpful that your “What I Trust” List be written out, not typed up. The movement, hand to vision, helps your psyche to feel the comfort. Imagine your mind is like a lung, inhaling and exhaling as you list out what you're trusting. And/or… Speak it out. If you’re an auditory-learner, speak it out. Leave yourself a voicemail, or record a voice memo on your mobile, or talk to yourself. Kindly. Do not underestimate how impactful this can be. Stream your consciousness. Just let it pour out—but, again, don’t include things on your list that you don’t fully have trust in. It’s okay if your list is short—brevity is better than bravado. Be really obvious if you need to be. Nothing is too great or too small to put your trust in. Sometimes the most basic things will give you a boost, especially if you’re finding it difficult to think of things that you fully trust. Intentionally access what you know to be positive and true. That sureness builds a bridge to more Joy and power. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The 2025 Heart Centered Planner: Align your life with Love and ease. It’s never too late to get started.

This episode of With Love, Danielle offers a simple yet profound practice to shift your perspective: "I've Done That Before." Inspired by Danielle’s book, How To Be Loving, this practice invites you to reflect on your shared humanity. When someone’s actions hurt you, pause and consider: When have I done something similar? It’s a heart-opening moment that dissolves judgment and bridges the gap between blame and connection. This approach works beautifully for most conflicts, helping you embody Compassion and Forgiving. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to move beyond judgment and into heart-centered understanding. A practical Compassion tool you can use daily.

In this episode, Danielle offers a guided practice to let go of 9 common limiting thoughts.  With Danielle’s encouragement and gentle suggestion, this practice can help us heal the thoughts that hold us back—like feeling unworthy, being overly responsible for our failures, the need to do everything alone, and many more. We start by getting Heart Centered together, then we bring our limiting thoughts to our heart space for transmutation and healing. And finally, they dissolve in the Loving space of our heart. Letting go of limiting thoughts is an awakening—it feels like relief and Love. For deeper inner healing, lean into the Soul Qualities of Forgiving and Compassion and welcome the expansion and freedom this practice can bring. Mentioned in this Episode: The Heart Centered Membership doors are opening on February 2—I’m so in love with this community. I’m mapping out 6-months of classes on healing anger and all kinds of spiritual essentials.

A prayer by Danielle which emphasizes deepening and expanding one's being to give and receive love, dissolving fear and grievances, and extending loving hearts to all relationships and offerings. Real Love is a boundless energy. Sending Loving thoughts toward another human is never an energy drain. Ever. Forget the notion that we could feel “too Loving.” Remember: Love and Compassion look insane to the ego. Our modern culture itself is an egoic structure (us vs. them, gain vs. give). Everywhere we turn, we’re given the messaging that the more judgmental we are, the stronger we become. That is false. May we all be full of Loving Kindness. May we all be so blessed.

If you’ve ever felt the world pulling you down into the dark—this one’s for you. In Episode 154 of With Love, Danielle, we’re talking discernment: why I have a “Good for Me/Bad for Me” list to help me stay grounded, expansive, and connected to my Higher Truth—and why you should too.  Think of it as the spiritual version of an emergency room intake form—a check-in with your soul to help you fill up with Light in these dark times.  ✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode: Why discernment is a form of devotion—and a radical act of self-love. What’s on my “Good for Me” list (and what I did this week that I knew was “Bad for Me”) Why sensitivity isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower when embraced with intention. This is about listening deeply to what nourishes you, so you can show up more fully for the world. We’ll close with the Shantideva Prayer: May we be a source of healing, comfort, protection and refuge for others. Because when you dedicate yourself to supporting others, life magnetizes all the wellness, Compassion, and resources you need.

Personally, I never vibed with January 1 as a new year…  I felt slightly slothy in comparison to everyone else starting Q1 objectives and “New Year New You” launches, while I was still in my fun bun reviewing my previous year and NOT hitting reply on anything. (Does that sound familiar for you too?) In Episode 150 of With Love, Danielle we’ll dive into this and I’ll show you why and how to get in sync with natural rhythms and planetary cycles. Because JANUARY 1 IS *NOT* THE NEW YEAR… not actually. Not seasonally, not energetically, not for thousands of years according to the LUNAR NEW YEAR.  Keep your calendar pointed in the direction you want to go.  With Love, Danielle MENTIONED IN EPISODE 150: 📖 Free + Clear Course is available here so you can continue the practice. 📝 What type of Vision Builder are you? Take this free quiz and find out in 2 minutes if you’re the 👩‍💼Focussed Architect, the 👩‍🔬Intuitive Engineer, or the 👩‍🎨Flowing Artist… and how to use that to create your dream future.  🪩 January 1 is NOT the New Year.

Loves, Today we’re diving into Shenpa—a Tibetan Buddhist term that’s translated as attachment, but it’s much more than that. It’s the hook, that triggering force that pulls us into habitual patterns of closing down. It’s the contraction reaction, not a conscious response.  You know that tight feeling? That’s Shenpa. It’s our soul’s invitation for integrity, pushing us to grow. Episode 145 of With Love, Danielle is about noticing the hook and making a better decision. It’s about not taking the emotional bait.  So that the next time you get triggered, take a breath, recognize the hook, and ask yourself, What’s my soul inviting me to do here?

My loves, today, I’m bringing you the Shantideva Prayer—a powerful prayer that I’m committed to memorizing.  It’s a reminder that whenever we ask for support on behalf of helping someone else, we’re supported in return. This is about giving and receiving as one beautiful flow. We feelers, healers, seers, and everyday humans are called to alleviate suffering and amplify joy wherever we can. This prayer is a testament to that devotion. Ep 142 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is here to help move pain through us, like clouds across the sky, because we’re the sky—expansive, vast. We don’t hold onto suffering; we expand our commitment to serve. To be the lamp for those in the dark, the love wherever we go.

I’ve been thinking a LOT about the concept of mercy this year. My very basic definition: Mercy is when we just wish for someone to catch a break. That simple.  Mercy is the bonus deal that comes from Compassion.  Today I’m rolling through the spiritual and practical definition of COMPASSION. What does it look like according to the mystics, and what does it look like in our emails and our self care? Side note: I know we’re all extra full of emotions these days.
