Today’s guest is Intentional Lifestyle Coach, Danielle Hatton. When she started working in the online space, mentoring people in wellness and business, Danielle realized that her true desire was to help women win; not just in business but in life too. Her coaching programs and workshops encourage women to own who they are, have the courage to follow their desires, and begin unlearning the conditioning that holds them back from living an intentional life and, in this episode, we discuss how to move past fear and live in the potential of possibility. Given the near-constant state of fear that the different narratives around COVID-19 have inspired, it can be difficult to discern between protection and projection, but Danielle has some guidance and practical advice to help you do what is right for you, embrace uncertainty in the pursuit of aliveness, and give yourself permission to want more. We also touch on righteousness as a defense mechanism, how vulnerability can create opportunities for true intimacy, and why Danielle believes that owning our emotions is a superpower, as well as how assessing your attachments can help you deepen the connections in your everyday life, not just the ones you create online. Tune in today for all this and more!
