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…

You got small so you could learn how powerful you truly are. Every relationship, every betrayal, every "what was I thinking" moment… it's not punishment. It's a form of modern initiation. You are not behind. You're being initiated. You've loved people who didn't love you back the way you deserved. You've stayed longer than you should have. You've given the benefit of the doubt—and then wondered…
There are people who hold space. And there are people who actually hold space. Holding space means holding shadow and holding light—and holding yourself while you hold others. This episode is Danielle's commencement speech to Xchange, a group of teachers and facilitators led by Jon Berghoff. It's a love letter to everyone who gets on stage to lead—virtually or in high heels. Embracing your fear is…
Where the metaphysics meets the physics Energy follows thought. What you embrace transforms. Like attracts like. These aren't just spiritual principles. They're provable. And the physics has always backed up the metaphysics. Whether you need scientific validation or you have a deep cellular knowing that love is a good idea—you are welcome here. This episode is a chapter excerpt from Danielle's new…
There's a better way to let go. I feel somewhat urgent about this conversation. I want to save you from the potential harm and grief that cutting cords can create. You cannot let go of something that you are aggressively trying to let go of. It's like gripping and shaking something that you actually want to put down. I learned this the hard way during a breakup. I did what I was told: invoke the…
Am I worthy of my desires? So gross. So harmful. So NOT how the universe works. Do you feel other people's feelings like it's your job ? Overplan for outcomes you know you can't really control? Always future-tripping what could happen, brain won't rest? To my fellow control freak empaths—I've got you. The heart, your vastness, your Higher Self, does not ask questions about worthiness. The ego, on…
Winning answer: Not that big I read an interview with Madonna who said that when people came into her home in LA and they saw her Frida Kahlo collection of paintings, if they didn't like Frida Kahlo, she couldn't be their friend. If I'm hanging out with somebody who turns non-problem problems into problems… I mean, I can still be their friend, but I just don't really wanna hang out with them.…
Your capacity to forgive will amaze you What happens when you become a Super Blesser? In today's episode, I'm telling you about a music festival and an ex-partner's mistress. Not mine. Someone in my community. I have her permission to tell this story… A blessing is your focused positive intention. And blessing is the most excellent situation medicine response for balancing your nervous system.…
A peek into my journals Today I'm giving you a sneak peek into my Bless & Release journal. I'm talking about some divorce. I'm talking about some manifesting. It's really a celebration of owning my shit. …I was sitting at my desk, crying as I googled how to overcome heroin addiction. Except I've never tried heroin. I don't even drink coffee. I was trying to let go of divorce pain. The…
And what to do when it shows up Here's the sequence: Unmet needs lead to disappointment. Disappointment gives rise to grief. Unresolved grief turns into resentment. Holding onto resentment creates anger. Welcome to Earth. Welcome to being a human. There is a 100% likelihood that to varying degrees, we will all feel unseen, unheard, or not loved in ways that we want to be loved. When we're…
What you push away pushes back Here's the physics principle: What you push away pushes back. And while it's pushing back, it's building its own muscle. What we push away grows stronger. We have to be in relationship with our fears, not in opposition to them. Most fear is based on past experience that we project into the future. The catch? Fighting our fear creates this inner battle. That inner…
