Loves,

Today we’re diving into Shenpa—a Tibetan Buddhist term that’s translated as attachment, but it’s much more than that. It’s the hook, that triggering force that pulls us into habitual patterns of closing down. It’s the contraction reaction, not a conscious response. 

You know that tight feeling? That’s Shenpa. It’s our soul’s invitation for integrity, pushing us to grow.

Episode 145 of With Love, Danielle is about noticing the hook and making a better decision. It’s about not taking the emotional bait. 

So that the next time you get triggered, take a breath, recognize the hook, and ask yourself, What’s my soul inviting me to do here?

With Love, Danielle
