People asked me to put those shows on the internet, so I turned them into podcasts. Hundreds of episodes later, I\u2019m now able to talk to more people I really respect outside of the field of Ayurveda. One of these people is Danielle LaPorte. She\u2019s on the show today. Some of you may have heard of Danielle before. She created The Fire Starter Sessions and The Desire Map. She\u2019s educated tons and tons of amazing coaches out there. She\u2019s one of Oprah\u2019s SuperSoul 100 \u2014 a group who\u2019s \u201cuniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters,\u201d in Oprah\u2019s words. Danielle also has one of the top 100 websites for women, as judged by Forbes. Millions of people visit her website every month for her Truthbombs. What I love about Danielle is that she\u2019s able to cut through the cultural clutter and find the deep truths from deep wisdom traditions. She\u2019s able to interpret them in a poetic way that really reaches people at all stages and life situations. See why chatting with her is my dream come true in this episode!   I rap with Danielle LaPorte about keeping it real on your spiritual path: How ambition and devotion are intertwined How we deal with anger and forgiveness while trying to be compassionate creatures Why and how to make a difference when you\u2019re feeling overwhelmed What you\u2019ll get out of tuning in: Learn how simplicity can help you better serve others (and yourself) in deeper and wider ways Find out what the weightiness of presence is and why it\u2019s important to live with See how to determine what you need to say no to in life to find your big inner yes   Links: Body Thrive Book White Hot Truth Book FREE Chapter of White Hot Truth The Fire Starter Sessions Book The Desire Map Book  Danielle\u2019s Website  Danielle\u2019s Facebook  Take the Changemaker Challenge!

There\u2019s a lot that comes along with wisdom traditions \u2014 including cultural dysfunctionality. Danielle illuminates how her experiences and explorations of those traditions taught her that nothing can make you impervious to weaknesses and that dysfunctionality. 12:30 \u2014 Danielle explains her relationship to ambition and devotion. These concepts are related and can even be mistaken for each other, but they\u2019re both part of living with fullness, expressing yourself freely, and even pursuing a career. 19:30 \u2014 Sometimes it feels like the world and the events in it are getting tougher to process, but it\u2019s still important to be present \u2014 even for the negative things. We all have different ways of working through the feelings, but the important thing is that we do so, not how we do so, and that we face them instead of pushing them away. Recognizing them and feeling their weight \u2014 feeling the weightiness of presence \u2014 is the first step. 28:15 \u2014 Danielle describes the rhythm she finds in saying no to lots of things so she can focus on what she says yes to and get super-committed. Ask yourself what lights you up the most and if an option you\u2019re considering is something you\u2019re pumped about. Then, get feedback from others about how you can get there. 34:30 \u2014 Collaborating with others gives us the power to fast-track our journeys of creating the world we want to create. But it\u2019s vital to be able to communicate what our strengths are so we can understand each other and work together.   Favorite Quotes: \u201cI\u2019m all for creating the world that I want to live in.\u201d \u2013Danielle LaPorte \u201cSo much beauty.
