Celebrate the true New Year with Danielle as she delves into why January 1st doesn't resonate with your body or your soul. No matter what hemisphere you’re in, you’re likely not feeling new year, new you vibes on January 1. Instead of hacking it or crushing it, how about being the conscious creator while being fully supported by the energies of the planets and Mother Nature? 

In this episode, you’ll learn about: 

• The historical context of calendars, including the Gregorian calendar and its divergence from natural cycles. 
• Significance of the Lunar New Year and its alignment with planetary cycles.
• The Vision Builder practice, a holistic life planning, that is a non-neurotic approach to goal setting and manifesting.

Danielle also answers three questions from listeners and Heart Centered members—beautiful and juicy questions about her end of the year ritual and practices, mantras and nourishing thoughts, and how resistance is a sign of change. 

She ends the episode with the Metta Bhavana prayer since it’s an important component of the Vision Builder practice. It guides us to a place of Compassion and Loving Kindness so we can create a vibrant year.

Have you ever felt stuck in judgment or conflict and wished for a way out? This episode of With Love, Danielle offers a simple yet profound practice to shift your perspective: "I've Done That Before."

Inspired by Danielle’s book, How To Be Loving, this practice invites you to reflect on your shared humanity. When someone’s actions hurt you, pause and consider: When have I done something similar? It’s a heart-opening moment that dissolves judgment and bridges the gap between blame and connection.

This approach works beautifully for most conflicts, helping you embody Compassion and Forgiving.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to move beyond judgment and into heart-centered understanding.
• A practical Compassion tool you can use daily.

In this episode, Danielle offers a guided practice to let go of 9 common limiting thoughts. 

With Danielle’s encouragement and gentle suggestion, this practice can help us heal the thoughts that hold us back—like feeling unworthy, being overly responsible for our failures, the need to do everything alone, and many more.

We start by getting Heart Centered together, then we bring our limiting thoughts to our heart space for transmutation and healing. And finally, they dissolve in the Loving space of our heart.

Letting go of limiting thoughts is an awakening—it feels like relief and Love.

For deeper inner healing, lean into the Soul Qualities of Forgiving and Compassion and welcome the expansion and freedom this practice can bring.

A prayer by Danielle which emphasizes deepening and expanding one's being to give and receive love, dissolving fear and grievances, and extending loving hearts to all relationships and offerings.

Real Love is a boundless energy. Sending Loving thoughts toward another human is never an energy drain. Ever.

Forget the notion that we could feel “too Loving.”

Remember: Love and Compassion look insane to the ego. Our modern culture itself is an egoic structure (us vs. them, gain vs. give). Everywhere we turn, we’re given the messaging that the more judgmental we are, the stronger we become. That is false.

May we all be full of Loving Kindness. May we all be so blessed.

If you’ve ever felt the world pulling you down into the dark—this one’s for you.

In Episode 154 of With Love, Danielle, we’re talking discernment: why I have a “Good for Me/Bad for Me” list to help me stay grounded, expansive, and connected to my Higher Truth—and why you should too. 

Think of it as the spiritual version of an emergency room intake form—a check-in with your soul to help you fill up with Light in these dark times. 

✨ Here’s what we cover in this episode:

• Why discernment is a form of devotion—and a radical act of self-love.

• What’s on my “Good for Me” list (and what I did this week that I knew was “Bad for Me”)

• Why sensitivity isn’t a weakness—it’s a superpower when embraced with intention.

This is about listening deeply to what nourishes you, so you can show up more fully for the world.

We’ll close with the Shantideva Prayer: May we be a source of healing, comfort, protection and refuge for others.

Because when you dedicate yourself to supporting others, life magnetizes all the wellness, Compassion, and resources you need.

With Love, Danielle

The Concentration Practice is a simple, yet profound practice that will build your capacity to focus in your daily life.

Personally, I never vibed with January 1 as a new year… 

I felt slightly slothy in comparison to everyone else starting Q1 objectives and “New Year New You” launches, while I was still in my fun bun reviewing my previous year and NOT hitting reply on anything. (Does that sound familiar for you too?)

In Episode 150 of With Love, Danielle we’ll dive into this and I’ll show you why and how to get in sync with natural rhythms and planetary cycles.

Because JANUARY 1 IS *NOT* THE NEW YEAR… not actually. Not seasonally, not energetically, not for thousands of years according to the LUNAR NEW YEAR. 

Keep your calendar pointed in the direction you want to go.

What if you could pause the holiday noise for just a few moments, and let Love guide you back to stillness?

Today, I’m sharing one of my favourite prayers: The Prayer of St. Therese de Lisieux. 

This prayer is a beautiful reminder of Love’s infinite power to transform, in all of its simplicity. 

It’s an invitation to pause, come into stillness, and rest—in whatever way that feels right for you today. 

So take this moment with me, and when you’re ready—press play.

It’s comfort. It’s healing. It’s Love.
