Fear is a natural experience in our lives. It can be the most significant piece of baggage that many of us carry around because it’s associated with so many things, whether it’s trauma or emotional understanding, failure, rejection, or not being able to get out of the limiting beliefs; fear can be a tornado that takes us down and keeps us from fully thriving.

In fact, you can write a life blueprint and give yourself a beautiful path. However, the minute that fear puts a wall up, a boundary around you, there’s not much one can do until you move through seven skill sets that help you get out of fear and eliminate it. That’s exactly what you and I will do today in our one-on-one deep dive.

How was your childhood? Half the people listening said good, and the other half shuddered. The idea of the perfect parent or family is a myth—as humans, we are all flawed to some degree. Yet, when we grow up in households that can be deemed dysfunctional, the emotional, mental, and even physical impact on our adulthood can screw us in ways we don’t even realize. Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into dysfunction’s lasting and profound impacts. We’ll discuss how to begin the inner journey to release what is not serving you.

Did you know that emotions are contagious? We’ve all burst into laughter because someone is laughing, or maybe you cry when someone else starts to cry, even when you don’t have a reason to. We all take on the emotions around us—which is a different spin to catching feelings…

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into how easy it is to become the emotional energy around you and how the negatives impact you. I’m handing over a tool to help you know when an emotion is yours to carry and when it’s not. We’ll wrap it all up with how to shield yourself from catching feelings we would rather not touch.

Self-doubt is something we all experience. It doesn't matter what our background looks like, how good we are at something or lacking, self-doubt still has a way of finding its way in. Kendell wrote: “I'm dealing with self doubt. I know that I can get myself out of it, but it seems to keep coming back. I was hoping that you could provide some kind of information as to maybe a secret or a way to deal with self-doubt that is different than what I'm finding on Google.”

Three words: emotional self-abandonment—it hits you right in the gut. Doesn’t it? Emotional self-abandonment happens when you feel neglected, ignored, or dismissed by the significant people in your life, such as a parent, partner, or your closest friend. When the feeling grows large enough, it takes over and leads to feeling alone, inadequate, small, disconnected, lacking self-worth and trust, and many other negatives.

So, today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into why we self-abandon as we piggyback on feeling disconnected and staying with ourselves over the last two weeks. We are building a better feeling you.

Today’s Mindset Reset leans understanding the hidden signs of anxiety—how they show up and may be impacting you.

Feeling connected to yourself and the five master areas of your life is essential as it shows the value you place within yourself. With disconnected, there’s a tendency to lose sight of who you are, what you want, and most certainly what you need.

That’s why you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it means to feel disconnected, and we’re taking small steps to take the journey home to the self.

Let’s get right to it.

Today’s Mindset Reset leans into self-boundaries and the steps to create them!

Negativity from another person is bad enough, but when it comes from inside your head, it’s tough to hear! Your inner conversation, the monologues that run through your mind and generally right out of your mouth, can cause heartache and a spiral of negativity.

Today, you and I are taking a one-on-one deep dive into why how you speak to yourself matters, the toxic impact of negative self-talk, and then, we will talk about how to change the negatives into neutrals, then positives once and for all.

Let’s get right to it.

Today’s Mindset Reset leans into life lessons we gain as we age.

In this week’s mindset reset, we look at shifting your thoughts toward what you want to create in 2024. It’s important to not look at goals, but instead look at the systems of what is working and what isn’t. Today’s mindset reset breaks it all down through a few fundamental questions to ask yourself.

Sometimes we all need gentle reminders. Reminders that tell us to feel differently than we are feeling at the moment. Reminders that breathe life into us and remind us there's nothing wrong with us. There may be wrong situations that are occurring in our lives, but we ourselves are not broken. These gentle reminders are the subject of today’s Mindset Reset.

Today’s Mindset Reset, Tiffany S wrote in and asked: “Danielle, I have heard you talk about the need to relinquish control and let go of the fight, but I’m not going to lie to you. Sometimes, I feel like doing so makes me a pushover or a doormat. I’m worried the people around me will abuse me because they know that I’m just going to let it go. I heard you also say that we want to get into a place where we’re surrendering, but again, that makes me feel like self-respect and self-love are not possible for me if I live in both spaces. Can you help explain—maybe I’m looking at it wrong?

When was the last time you listened to your inner conversation? Is it serving you, or does it take you down? Most women struggle with their inner critic and tend to beat themselves up. Is this you? If so, there’s one essential life practice that can silence the inner critic, help you release the need to trash yourself and your worth, and is the ultimate foundation of self-love.

What is it? It’s self-empathy.

While you may be familiar with having empathy for others, turning this practice inward changes the inner conversation and opens the door to cultivating inner peace, happiness, and gives you the courage to be the woman who loves themselves fiercely.

In the years I’ve worked with women, one concept continually comes up. For some, it’s taboo. For others, there’s a deep curiosity and desire to understand how it works. For another group, there’s complete dismissal. No matter where you stand, you are likely using this principle in your daily life without even realizing it. What is it? It’s the Law of Attraction.

Maybe you’re scratching your head as to how behavioral therapy and the Law of Attraction have any connection, which is fair, so today, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into this universal principle that is the basis of everything I teach—what you focus grows.

We all want to be liked and loved—it’s a natural part of our desire and need for human connection. In fact, from the moment we are born, we begin seeking connection. However, while this desire is innate, there can be a tipping point where being liked and loved turns into seeking approval and validation through the assurance of others.

This kind of connection seeking is a hallmark trait of people-pleasing.

If you have spent any time working toward personal growth or have read any personal development books you have likely heard the term “limiting beliefs.” While the conversation around limiting beliefs seems to be the “it” topic right now, many do not go deep enough into these psychological defense mechanisms to explain what they are, let alone where they come from.

Today, we’re taking a one-on-one deep dive into how limiting beliefs negatively impact your life, how we trick our brains into believing our limits are keeping us safe, and I’ll walk you step-by-step into identifying your limiting beliefs, and most importantly how to shatter them and ultimately eradicate them from your life!

This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into a practice that allows us to do just that. What is it? It’s meditation.

This isn’t your typical conversation about breathing and quieting the mind. Instead, we’re taking a journey through the science and benefits, breaking down meditation myths, and I’ll hand over what most people do wrong when they practice. This is one conversation that gives you the tools to use your mind to your greatest benefit.

Do you feel things deeply? Have you ever been told you are too sensitive? Are you the peacemaker amongst your friends and family?

If so, you may be an empath. Being an empath is a superpower if you know how to use it to your advantage.

This week we are taking a one-on-one deep dive into what it means to be an empath, the top 15 signs that you are one, how to regulate your emotional and mental wellbeing from today forward, the brain science behind the empathic feeling, and lastly, we’ll chat about grounding and necessary practices you need to make your life work for you!

Are you moving through something big right now? You are not alone! However, we often think we are when we move through significant moments. In this space, we struggle to let go of what is no longer serving us because fear and guilt trump our needs and our perceived worthiness to have a grounded, healthy, and happy life.

And thanks to fear, many believe that letting go is impossible, traumatic, or downright impossible. This week we are doing just that through a one-on-one deep dive into the shadow side of healing. We’re entering a space where we consciously create a path for our deepest desires, the self-awareness process, and learning how to let go of people and relationships, heavy emotions and trauma, attachment, and the obstacles that stand in our way.
