Earlier this week, we shared part one of this conversation, all about how to be loving. Her latest book takes a deep dive into seven virtues that are at the root of this work: Divine Love, compassion, forgiveness, wisdom, loving kindness, resiliency, and radiance. We touch on quite a bit of this today, too as we unpack what Love really is with a whole new perspective.
Now, if you haven’t heard part one, go back and listen to that one first. But if you’re ready to continue on, let’s pick back up here with my conversation with author Danielle LaPorte as she simplifies how to be loving.
It’s time to simplify… Here’s how.
Contents
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.
All this month, we focused on the theme of “Refresh,” helping you bring in a new energy and make positive changes in your work or life. Today is a fresh start and a new beginning.
Your 1000 daily choices will help you get there.
We explored what that meant on every level this month, both personally and professionally. Make sure to go back and listen to the other episodes this month for the full experience of expansion.
