Today (I dare say) we are talking about the single-most important topic that we’ve covered on the podcast to date… Love. Divine Love. How to be loving… not only to others but equally to yourself. I mean, it’s the eternal life force and energy source at the root of all existence, right? So let’s talk about it.
My special guest today is Danielle LaPorte and she’s simplifying how to be loving. She believes that “Love is not a feeling or an emotion, but rather a state of consciousness.” It’s the glue that connects us all together collectively… In fact, we are never (really) alone or separated from Source.
And I have to say, this gentle, countercultural approach to living your life is not what you hear normally… to truly realize that you aren’t broken or need fixing or needing to buy more stuff to feel Loved. As D puts it, “What would change if you saw yourself––and others, through a Loving gaze? Everything. Everything would change.”
Here’s how.

My special guest today is Danielle LaPorte and she is simplifying how to be loving.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- How she simplified her life over the last few years to clear the way and find her way home to Love
- What it means (to her) to lead a “heart-centered life and how to have self-compassion
- Where her belief systems have evolved from writing “The Desire Map” to where she is now, focused on embodiment
- Why she sees healing as a non-linear process, especially as it relates to forgiveness
- …and ultimately, how to trust the heart intelligence of Love (rather than fixating on a guru) to make wise decisions, calm your nervous system, and experience greater peace.
As always, ping me over on Instagram @thesimplifiers – and tell me your thoughts:
- What new ideas did this conversation spark for you?
- What does Love mean to you?
