Am I worthy of my desires?

So gross. So harmful. So NOT how the universe works.

Do you feel other people's feelings like it's your job? Overplan for outcomes you know you can't really control? Always future-tripping what could happen, brain won't rest?

To my fellow control freak empaths—I've got you.

The heart, your vastness, your Higher Self, does not ask questions about worthiness. The ego, on the other hand, talks about it non-stop. Am I worthy yet? Am I worthy now? Does this make me worthy?

We can spend years hustling to prove we're worthy of what we long for. Such a racket.

I've got a simple practice to heal the part of you that asks the worthiness question…

Listen in for an excerpt from my new book Bless & Release. In this episode, we're unpacking worthiness, then we're doing the Centering Practice together.

With Love,
Danielle

Winning answer: Not that big

I read an interview with Madonna who said that when people came into her home in LA and they saw her Frida Kahlo collection of paintings, if they didn't like Frida Kahlo, she couldn't be their friend.

If I'm hanging out with somebody who turns non-problem problems into problems… I mean, I can still be their friend, but I just don't really wanna hang out with them.

Here's the sticky question that changes everything…
How big of a problem do you want to make this?

The obvious answer is always going to be, like…
Not that big of a problem.

Problems don't change until you change how you relate to them. (When we bless them.) We can't control the circumstances in our lives, but we can choose how we think about them.

If storms and fires are the work of the Divine, so are flat tires and breakups. All of it is a blessing (even if it's in disguise). Problems become portals when we get excited about transforming them.

Where everyone else sees a roadblock, we can be like, guys… it's a secret passage to higher consciousness.

Listen in for an excerpt from my new book Bless & Release. Spoiler: The book is funny. That's all I want. Well, it's not all I want. It's what I want the most.

With Love,
Danielle

Your capacity to forgive will amaze you

What happens when you become a Super Blesser?

In today's episode, I'm telling you about a music festival and an ex-partner's mistress. Not mine. Someone in my community. I have her permission to tell this story…

A blessing is your focused positive intention. And blessing is the most excellent situation medicine response for balancing your nervous system.

When you start working with your heart's intelligence, your whole way of living will shift for the better. You will stop obsessing. No more mental replays of that conversation from months or years ago. Your creativity will surge.

You will stop managing other people's emotions. All this worrying about other people burns through our own energy reserves. We manage other people's emotions out of fear—fear of loss, rejection, or just having the same old argument again. It's exhausting.

When you filter your emotions through your heart, you build emotional resilience. And your capacity to forgive will amaze you.

Picture this: You're getting ready to rock out at a music festival with your girlfriends. And you run into the woman—the mistress—who broke up your marriage. The kind of confrontation moment that could make you freeze. But something's different now.

Listen in for an excerpt from my new book Bless & Release. Hear about Gina's Super Blesser experience at that music festival—and how she used The Centering Practice to choose dancing instead of drama.

With Love,
Danielle
