Best of With Love, Danielle: Why You Should NOT Trust Your Gut

This episode originally aired as Episode 152 on January 8, 2025. You know… I've felt like an outsider most of my life. Lil' bit on the outside. And of course I've had my share of hard No's and reeejection. And… but… each rebuff and snub is taking us closer to our shadow territory, to the beautiful, unhealed stuff that's waiting to be healed. I recently taught a class on rejection in our CENTERED Collective, and it was a tender one. We've strung the diamonds for you: In this episode of WITH LOVE, DANIELLE I'm teaching on: The meta-function of rejection. Every spurn, every rebuff points to our inability to accept all parts of ourselves Exactly why rejection is an advanced class in self-acceptance How we stand in our power to heal from rejection, without bypassing or bravado How to choose responsiveness and consciousness over numbing out and running away. This is the work. This is how we transform our repetitive pain into deep esteem. With Love, Danielle

This episode originally aired as Episode 107 on April 3, 2024. I'm never contrarian for the sake of it. I'm good to go with the conventional flow. But not today, friends, not today! We have higher realms of consciousness to traverse. And those higher states are not in our guts. or lower chakras, or low vibe stories from our past. Old adage: "Trust your gut." New way: Nah.  Pay attention to your gut, but don't let it make your plans. There's both spiritual and scientific sense to this.  I'm talking about decisions, intuition, direction, and how to figure out your next best move....and it's NOT about "following your gut."

A note from Danielle: My loves, for the month of November, we are featuring the best of my business episodes from 2025. Today's run has some extra divine timing because, as you're listening to this, if you're listening to it on our drop week, we are in Mercury Retrograde. Mercury Retrograde is all about review, rewinding, cleaning things up with intention before they pile up, and you've got to set something on fire. Today's conversation is about the things that, as a team, we decided to let go of this year—in terms of policies, behaviours, things we did to get the bottom line up, and ways of doing things that felt outmoded and not expansive anymore. This will hopefully be inspiration for your creativity, for your prosperity, and for your kitchen cupboards. I'm so glad you're here. Always with love, Danielle. *This episode originally aired as Episode 186 on May 30, 2025.  What happens when you pause, sunset, phase out, bless + release everything that's draining your life force? More joy. More prosperity. More clarity.  This episode is a full download of Danielle's Stop Doing List—two years of deep renovation inside her business and life—and how those decisions brought in more success and alignment than ever.  From saying goodbye to platforms, programs and partnerships that didn't vibe… To completely overhauling the editorial process to bring in more creativity and collaboration… To scrubbing a 220,000 person email list down to 65,000 loving, active subscribers… To shifting from hustle-mode launches to always-open invitations… And so much more. This is the companion episode to "I Stopped Obsessing Over Rapid Financial Growth. Here's Why…"  It's not about doing more. It's about doing what matters—and having the courage to stop what doesn't.

A note from Danielle: My loves, for the month of November, we are focused on the topic of business—which so very often can extend into being more creative and lucid and heart centered in relationships and creativity in general.  Today, I'm talking about my "Be Well Business" formula, where I break down our approach—a more heart centered approach to the whole concept of 10xing.  If you don't know what 10xing is, stick around. I'm about to break it down. *This episode originally aired as Episode 185 on May 23, 2025.  Danielle loves bold goals and quantum leaps. But not at the expense of wellness—or sanity.  In this week's episode, she's sharing the reason she hit pause on chasing rapid financial growth—and how she rebuilt her business around calm, clarity, and a new definition of prosperity.  She introduces her Be Well Business Number—a formula that balances revenue goals with nervous system regulation—and explains why weekends, joy, and purpose are more valuable metrics than just the bottom line.  This is heart centered 10x'ing—business strategy through the lens of Love. In this episode: Why "10x" isn't just about money  What Danielle's Be Well Business formula is—and how to calculate yours How nervous system regulation saved her business (and lifestyle) Why her team chose NOT to chase rapid revenue growth this year The emotional benefits of right-sized goals How to create a business that supports your wellness MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Inner Circle Business Accelerator—limited to 20 spots this round (and they go fast!)

A note from Danielle: Hello, my loves. For the month of November 2025, we are going to focus on business-related topics, and I'm bringing out the best of my business hits. Today, we're talking about authentic intelligence—rather than, as opposed to, instead of, a better option than—artificial intelligence. As I'm recording this intro right now, I'm sitting in a hotel room in London, England, shortly after I've come off stage giving a talk to a room full of mostly female business entrepreneurs. I asked them at the beginning of the day if they wanted to talk about AI, and they groaned. And I said, "Well, we've got to do it."  I'm always willing to be the contrarian if it's all in service to truth. This podcast conversation is in service to the truth of what I believe the fact to be: that AI is where your intuition goes to die. On that note, welcome to today's episode of With Love, Danielle. *This episode originally aired as Episode 138 on October 16, 2024.  Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Zeppelin… what's your creative archetype? And what's the Divine Feminine principle got to do with your creative edge? A lot. In this episode, we're defining creative integrity in wacky times—no matter how tempting tech might be. Want to read the Slack memo I sent to my team about ChapGPT? Ya! (Spoiler: it's a tool, not a replacement for your brilliance).  Presence cannot be outsourced. It is not going to fool the heart. Let's do the human, real-time, real energy, joyful work of thinking, caring, and creating.  With Love, Danielle MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Inner Circle Business Accelerator—limited to 20 spots this round (and they go fast!)

This episode originally aired as Episode 152 on January 8, 2025, and it struck a chord with so many of you. We're replaying it because the conversation about emotional exhaustion and energy depletion felt especially needed—then and now. If you're feeling worn down or just want a refresh on the deeper reasons behind tiredness, this one's for you… My loves, who's tired?  Who's exhausted? Sleepy? Worn down?  In this episode of With Love, Danielle we're talking about reasons—eight of them, in fact—why you may be overtired.  And this is not about the physical things, the medical things.  It's not about how much sleep you're getting at night… It's about energy.   So let's make the connection from the emotional to the physical, and then let's heal it. Let's lift it, lighten it, and dissolve it... so we can all get to vibrant and peaceful and lit up and strong. Okay?  Listen in. With Love, Danielle  

This episode originally aired as Episode 169 on March 7, 2025, and became one of your favourites of the year. We're bringing it back because this conversation on letting go and making aligned decisions really resonated. If you missed it the first time or want to revisit, here we go… Loves, I'm attempting to be useful in two ways today. BONUS. 1) Let's talk about decision making, how to know when it's right or wrong. 2) And how the ego loves to look good. And thus! how letting go of status concepts can be radically liberating and HEALING. I once traded a status symbol (sexy Audi, FAST) for a soul symbol (pre-owned VW, FREE). Turns out, less status = more me. More LIFE. In this episode: How the ego masks self-worth struggles with status symbols The surprising freedom in less (and why "downgrade to upgrade" is real) The three red flags that signal a misaligned decision A spiritual approach to right-sizing your life—beyond logic, beyond labels MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Follow + subscribe to With Love, Danielle on Substack for weekly podcasts, essays + more (formerly known as The Sacred)

Comparing your spiritual path to someone else's is crazy-making. And yet… most of us do it.  Daniell talks about how she's STILL recovering from spiritual bypassing and why  Because your path is your path. Your Soul isn't here to win a spiritual competition. It's here to love, to serve, to stumble, to practice. Over and over again.  In this episode: Why comparing your spiritual path to someone else's is self-punishment The many absurd (and enlightening) ways we measure our "devotion" How spiritual bypassing keeps us from real growth Why being full human is the real holy move Plus: a poem on devotion and daily enlightenment MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Danielle's book White Hot Truth: Clarity for Keeping it Real on Your Spiritual Path from One Seeker to Another GetHeartCentered.com—Download the FREE Astro + Events calendar and sync your plans with the planets Follow + Subscribe to With Love, Danielle on Substack for weekly essays + more Join the CENTERED Collective

It took three years and a blessed fortune, but Danielle feels—and looks—better than ever. This is the episode where she tells you everything. The mold that tried to kill her twice. The metals poisoning. The 12-inch worms (yes, really). The 27 pounds she lost without counting a single calorie. The face that made people ask, "Have you had work done?" No tox. No surgery. Just results. Danielle walks you through the practitioners who actually helped, the protocols that worked, and the expensive mistakes she made so you don't have to. This is raw, real, and intensely practical. If you've been trying everything and nothing's working—your body might just be trying to stay alive. In this episode: Why mold and parasites are buddies (and how to evict them both) The brain and metals detox that brought her clarity back What actually worked for weight loss after trainers, cardio, and protein shakes failed The 3-month parasite cleanse and what came out of her body (bring chopsticks) How she lost 27 pounds without counting calories The insulin resistance reset that changed everything Face yoga, red light therapy, and the tools that firmed up her face (no Botox) The spiritual practices that helped her discern solutions The essential oils, air purifiers, and home environment shifts that support healing Big disclaimer: This is not medical advice.

After a year of revelation around inner child work and shadow integration, Danielle is redefining what healing really means. It's not about conquering fear or forcing confidence. It's not about getting your inner child to "grow up." Healing is about loving every fragment of yourself, exactly as it is.  Through a story about heartbreak, grief, and self-compassion, Danielle reveals how meeting her wounded self with tenderness—rather than rejection—transformed everything.  Find out what happened when she asked her inner child, "What do you need?" and listened, with Love.  In this episode: Why healing is integration, not correction The courage to meet darkness with curiosity, not shame What your inner child actually is (and isn't) Danielle's shadow work practice  How our deepest needs reveal our divinity MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: GetHeartCentered.com—Download the FREE Astro + Events calendar and sync your plans with the planets Follow + Subscribe to With Love, Danielle on Substack for weekly essays + more Join the CENTERED Collective
