The Deeper Reason for Burnout

Loves, Self love is easy when we’ve got our sh*t together. Courageous, outspoken, PRODUCTIVE. Check. Check. Check. I’m more interested in what happens when we’re not at our “best.” I want us to love the unlovable parts––and mean it. Not “love” the gnarly bits so they’ll change. That's’ not self love. That self-deception. I have some LOVE NOTE CUES for you. You can journal to these, or listen along and cry or laugh at your mortal coil. You don’t need to send them. But for sure, I bet these are LOVE NOTES you’ve never dreamed of writing to yourself or others. BY THE WAY… this is an exercise that I’ve done with leadership teams in global firms––it’s not trite. And BY THE WAY… this LOVE NOTE practice is part of the RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION that I’ve built into the 2025 Heart Centered Planner! Think: calendar meets self help revolution.

Today, I'm going to offer you a poetic, prayerful something in honor of rest, in honor of authenticity, in honor of the fact that team D is taking essentially the whole month of August to just go into chill mode. And if you are in a place where you can do so, I'm inviting encouraging, trying to live by example for you to do the same by chill mode. Eps 128 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is deep and sweet. And just for you. I will be back in September with all new, fresh episodes. We're keeping it deep on behalf of the light.

We don’t actually need a pep talk about our worthiness. Because…We’re all “worthy.” And the “worthiness” questioning is, actually, absurd. No one needs to quantify or qualify themselves for Love. Not one Soul, ever. We don’t have to establish if we deserve more ease, happiness, or Loving Kindness. Here it is: when we spend energy questioning and bidding to see if we’re valued or worthy…it distracts us from healing. All that asking and validation seeking actually creates MORE confusion and perceived woundedness inside of us. Episode 127 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is a BEST OF episode from last summer, one of our most popular episodes to date—Please Don’t Ask If You’re Worthy. Here’s what we get into… What happens when we become more blind to our inherent, DIVINE WORTH? (We spin.) Why do we believe we need to earn our worth? And,  When we find ourselves asking ourselves or others (typically unconsciously) if we’re worthy or valuable, instead, let’s wonder, “Why did I ask that?” It’s a popcorn trail to your pain and power. Here’s a life shifting question to apply, DAILY: What does my unhealed self need right now? (aka, your Inner Child) This episode includes a short visualization exercise that I guide and it’s simple enough to remember that you can take it with you.  We have been in this worthy/unworthy dialogue for eons, it is part of the human dance––so we have some stuff to unpack. With Love, Danielle  

With all the items on your daily spiritual checklist, you might be wondering, how do I know if this is really working? In fact, it’s been a guiding question of mine: How do you know if all you are doing to be well is helping you be well? Hint: It’s not about the green juice, or mala beads, or escaping to beautiful Bali (although, those are cool too)... Episode 126 of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE is a BEST OF episode from last summer, one of our most popular episodes to date—8 Signs That You’re Healing. You know you’re healing when… You make space to respond, not react… Fixing other people's issues is not your primary concern… Loving on ALL parts of yourself is COMFORTING… Respecting the other person is as important as respecting yourself… Leaning into pain points is what you do best. You GENTLY silence your inner critic. Loving your friends and family feels like your greatest gift. Listening to your soul is your top priority… Listen in to learn more. You’ve got the love AND the healing.  Danielle
