Relationships are tricky, but with the right tools, any couple can thrive! You’ve likely heard of The Gottman Institute and the pioneering work of therapist John Gottman, one of the world’s leading experts on relationships, teaching therapists and couples how to best show up. With relationships adding or distracting from our own self-love and inner peace, I sat down with Gottman-trained couple’s therapist, author, and expert on love advice, Laura Silverstein, about being vulnerable, communication, the rules of engagement that every couple should know, how to fight fair, and what do if you find yourself parenting your partner!

Our conversation is full of small shifts you can put into practice today to help your relationship grow and be as healthy as possible.

we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into why the brain is always on the lookout for trouble, how to stop being hijacked in hopes of providing a false sense of safety, and we’ll breakdown how to disentangle ourselves from our earliest patterns, wiring, and our triggers.

This big conversation will shed light on why you may be causing yourself more issues than you realize!

The health of your root charka powerfully impacts all of the other chakras. In order to grow spiritually, we must start at the root. In this meditation, we get into the flow of the root charka, clearing it, and reclaiming its openness. This is a journey back home to the soul.

As we focus our attention on resolutions and kicking this year’s tail, I sat down with Britt Frank, the Psychotherapist who literally wrote the book on being stuck in your life to help us see ourselves in a new light. In an open and honest conversation about triggers, feeling emotional stuck, Britt Franks shares the deep lessons she learned from her own “stuckness” from past trauma.

If you want to make this year the best year yet, you first have to identify where you are, what you want, and how you are willing to process it. This conversation kicks off the new year in a way that shows each of us anything is possible once we know where we are.

This episode is not suitable for children.

Let these words ignite the goddess within you. The root of the word goddess means “bright” or “shine.” As women, we tend to underestimate our divine feminine power—at best, we ignore it; at worst, we demonize it. Yet, this light and power within is the energy that creates our life. We have always been meant to harness it, own it, and use it for our greatest good.

Your femininity is your divine superpower. In this moment, we are connecting with and to her, honoring her, and reminding ourselves that the light within us shall never be dimmed again. From now on, I am honoring my truths and affirming my power.

Do you lack balance? Most women do! Today, I am guiding you through creating daily balance through a simple process.

This week we’re talking about purpose, the power of social media, and what it means to be a parent with Laura from @Foster.Parenting.

If you have logged onto Tik Tok or Instagram in the last year, you’ve likely stumbled across one of Laura’s videos where she offers resources to parents around the globe, especially those who are foster parents. What started as a way to fill the gap of resources during the pandemic has turned into a global advocate platform for foster children, parents no matter birth, adopted, or fostering, a place for teachers to learn about trauma outside of the classroom, as well as ways to show up for the children in our communities and homes.

For the first time, a face and voice that millions have watched, fallen in love with, and followed shares her personal story, her why, and her deep desires for the children in her personal care and yours.

Do you struggle with procrastination? What about the lack of motivation? So many do and even identify as procrastinators. This belief can overrun our lives! It can even cause higher levels of stress, anxiety, fear, and a host of other negative feelings. This week we are taking a different approach to procrastination as we examine what these habits are at their roots and how our mindset and thinking patterns are the true culprits. From there, we’re brain hacking our way out of our full stops and onto the path of true motivation in this week’s one-on-one deep dive.

We’ve reached the end of 2022. It’s been a year of MANY things. A year of growth and loss. A year of seeking and change. A year of revolution and finding ourselves to the point where many now ask: what next?

What is next? What would your ideal life look like if you could envision come this time next year? Have you ever taken a moment to clarify what you truly want? Have you taken a moment to break down the five pillars of your life and write a vision list?

From intentionality to a life mission statement to deep diving into what you want to create in the next twelve months, we are setting ourselves up for the most tremendous success possible, which always leads us to deeper self-love and inner peace.

With two weeks left in the year, most of us lean into a natural thought process of evaluation—what went right this year, what didn’t, how we can do better, and what we want for the new incoming year. And while this focus is so prevalent, often something stops us from genuinely diving into this much-needed thought process. What is it? It’s the unwelcome holiday guests that go by the names stress, anxiety, and depression.

As we continue our series to wrap up the year, we are taking on how to prevent the end-of-the-year stress and depression this week, and then next week, we’ll uncover the correct way to write your 2023 vision as it is broken down into the fundamental areas of life.

Each of us has a set of basic human needs that must be fulfilled for us to thrive in our humanness—feeling safe is second in our primal needs on the need hierarchy. So, if I ask you what it means to be safe, most people give me an answer based on physical safety. Yet, what most people do not understand is that safety also expands into our mental, emotional, physical, and even financial pillars of life, which means that safety must be present for the well-being of our minds and emotional bodies.

As we continue our building series to close out the year, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it takes to feel emotionally safe, why it’s so important to create emotional safety, and, as always, we’ll talk about how to start the process of building emotional security with a few daily practices.

Worry is an emotion that, although it can be helpful in working through certain situations when used to drive plan-based or result-based thinking positively, yet, when it’s done in excess and occurring multiple times throughout any given day that worry can be problematic to the mind, body, and soul on all levels. Stress from worrying affects the circulation of energy in the body. It disrupts the nervous system and impacts your liver to the point that it dumps excess sugar into the bloodstream and impedes your inner voice from allowing your wisdom to be heard and acknowledged.

True self-love and inner peace are only possible when we have the ability to see ourselves and own our experiences without deep diving into a spiral of negativity, self-doubt, and emotional dysregulation. After all, self-validation is the ability to accept our internal experiences, thoughts, and feelings.

As we continue our building series through the end of the year, we started with loneliness last week, and today, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into self-validation. Being unable to validate our emotions, thoughts, and feelings keeps us from living an emotionally stable life, holds us in a state of perceived unworthiness, and keeps us from our emotional best.

This week we are breaking down and trashing the barriers that keep us from validating ourselves, our emotions, and our thoughts.

With the holidays here, there’s often an uptick in depression and loneliness.

So, this week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into what loneliness is, how it smothers our self-love, the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and how to make small shifts to release feeling this negative emotion. Sometimes it’s as simple as realizing we are not as lonely as we think.

As many as 31 million people worldwide are dealing with some form of addiction, whether it’s drugs and alcohol, food or shopping, gambling, and a host of other behaviors that disrupt their lives and change their behavior. While addiction costs many emotional, mental, physical, financial, and spiritual well-being, the impact on the caretakers is not often accounted for.

The toll is tremendous and undoubtedly works to dim our spirit and often costs us our self-love. That’s why I sat down with Dana Golden, who wrote the book on the Road to Recovery, not only the addicted but also the caretaker. We chat about everything from the emotional cost to how to take care of yourself.

We are taking an active journey together…one of peace and owning your inner light. While most meditations ask you to allow yourself to stop, in this journey, we will be active in our thoughts and own our inner light.

There comes a time where each of us seeks true motivation to heal—a time where we work to release the baggage, the upset, the hard experiences of our lives, and reignite our inner spark. Yet, when that time comes, many of us ask how. How do I even begin to heal? This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into YOUR personal story, into YOUR life revolution through a process and path many of us are seeking right now—the process of emotional healing. So, sit back, grab a pen, and let’s take a mending journey together as we discover what true emotional healing is, the benefits, uncover a major “a-ha” moment, whether or not you are in need of walking through this process, and why we must get uncomfortable to thrive. Getting out of own way is necessary if we want to create the life revolution that inevitably amounts to freedom.

Can you honestly say you use your voice and live a life of yeses? Many women struggle with allowing their lives to be what they desire and deem most important.

This week I sat down with Jill Hollander, a resiliency coach who teaches women to find and use their voice. Her unique story of heart failure, a heart transplant, and surviving cancer will move and inspire you as she explains where our voice is first developed, how to be our own advocate, find our unshakable courage, and what it feels like to live a life of yes!

Did you know that most people have a common failure pattern? Most people have strategies that they engage in that causes them to struggle or even fail, even if they truly desire to win or have a positive outcome.

Knowing your patterns are essential, and it’s the subject of this week’s mindset reset. Kayla from the UK wrote, “Danielle, I often feel stuck. I’ve read books. I’ve worked with a therapist. I’ve listened to your podcasts on being stuck, but I keep wondering if the problem isn’t actually me. I spend a lot of my time thinking about how hard it is to make changes, and then I stop myself from doing the work. I am unrealistic about how long change takes and constantly beat myself up. I am always failing. I can see this is a pattern for me, but I don’t know how to change it. Can you help?”

Are you the boss of your emotions, or are they the boss of you? The ability to experience and express your feelings is far more critical than you may realize. Learning how to develop emotional understanding and control is a fundamental part of getting your life together, practicing self-love, and it’s the only authentic way to find a steady stream of inner and outer peace. This week we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into the impact of your emotions, and then I’ll hand over a simple practice that will stop an emotional reaction in its track every single time.
