I’ve had thousands of conversations with people about desire and this is what I’ve learned from them (and from my own fiercely tender fierce heart): Desire is simple.
You can crave it, distill it, and peel back every kind of wish and most get to this: Everyone desires to love and be loved.
Find out precisely how your people want to be loved and then…just love them that way. (Take the Love Languages test if you want to dig in to this psychology.) Bend to give the person in your gaze exactly what they need, the way they need it — and guaranteed, you’ll be a better person for that kind of giving.
And by “necessary hard work” I do not mean: slogging on something you don’t really want to be doing in the first place. This is not about sucking it up or faking it.
By “necessary hard work” I mean: FIRST you commit to something that lights you up, pulls you forward, truly inspires you — the career, a relationship, a project (and YOU can be that improvement project, by the way.)
One of my least favourite behaviours of mine is withholding love. I’m hugely proud to say that it rarely happens. (If you’re going to boast about anything, let it be your capacity for loving.) But it still happens. It’s a reservedness that creeps over my usually boundless heart. I tell myself that staying quiet will give me shelter (from what?*), but it isn’t shelter at all.
There is that place you cannot reach within your singular self on your very own body inside your human person. No matter how you bend or try to scratch it, there is That Place you cannot reach alone.
I used to pray to sweat blood as a little girl. Dramatic, I know. I was a Catholic schoolgirl, an only child. We rented a small house in a small town, and my parents were young and hip and generally let me do anything I wanted to. The liberal headspace at home, acres of wheat fields to explore alone, and daily Jesus, Mary, ‘n’ Joseph at school made for the perfect environment for me to become the quietly intense mini holy roller that I was. At one point, I used the nooks of my bookcase to create a home for Barbie, and for the Virgin Mary. A leopard-print chaise and a rosary. Heavenly, really.
Sign up for conversations to help us feel a little less alone, full of possibility, and very clearly part of the solution.
WE CONTRACT SO WE CAN EXPAND. 💗

Today we’re diving into Shenpa—a Tibetan Buddist 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.
EPS 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?"

Each TOPIC page is a highlight reel of my deepest, most popular subjects. If you want immediate relief or a night of self-analysis, dive into a TOPIC page.
The Heart Centered Membership is an ongoing spiritual self study program. I don’t promise quick enlightenment, but the esoteric practices + support system are helping a lot of people to find solace and build resiliency. You are very much invited.
The Heart Centered Facilitator Program is in the works. We’re building off of our program for The Desire Map Facilitators (400+ leaders in 20+ countries!) If you’re curious about what we’re co-creating, please get on our notification list.
Audios are planted everywhere for you—like easter eggs. Dozens, refreshed regularly—from 30 second prayers, to long form sermons.
I co-create visualizations + meditations with an esoteric practitioner, drawing from a range of traditions. In spiritual speak: our kits are lit. I want the world to meditate.
I write to love. I write here weekly, I have a daily email of micro insight. If you want a monthly digest, we wrangle it. I think this is my most relevant book.
I’m so glad that you’re here.
I speak about self realization and how to extend that loving awareness to the collective. These are conversations to help us feel less alone, more heart centered, and very clearly part of the solution.
