Hella Well With Danielle

The key to self-mastery and happiness is finding your rhythm. Sounds easy, right? It can be, with the awareness. However, it’s just as easy to unconsciously dance to a rhythm that’s all wrong for you (and we’ve all done it). Or worse, you actually know you’re offbeat and dancing to a life rhythm that doesn’t serve your highest good, yet you still keep dancing. That’s what living in survival mode feels like to many, and it can be a conscious or unconscious choice.

Survival mode is one of the worst types of rhythms. It makes you think that you are forced or destined to stay in alignment with a particular way of life or rhythm. But again, we all have a choice.

Are you ready to discover your rhythm or know when you’re dancing to the wrong tune in life? In this episode, I’m discussing:

- Examples of natural rhythms in life
- Signs you’re out of alignment
- Copycat rhythm trends and how it’s affecting your happiness
- Important life cycles
- Conscious and unconscious rhythms
- Getting out of survival mode
How to know your rhythm and make it work for you

Chaos can feel like a tornado hitting your peace of mind, destroying all aspects of your life. There's nothing happy about the guilt of not getting everything done. Or neglecting your well-being and constantly being exhausted with no end in sight. Yet, life spinning out of control happens to the best of us.

If you're tired of feeling tired or like "it is, what it is," then this episode is for you! I got tired of wanting to cry in a corner when I didn't have balance in my life, but I couldn't because I didn't have time. I had to learn through trial and error how to protect my peace of mind and I share what worked for me. Now, will this episode help you find time to cry in the corner? Maybe, but it will give tips on finding balance in the midst of chaos.

Do you travel to escape reality? Or more importantly, are you even aware that you may be using travel to escape your own life? Travel is one of the most subtle forms of escapism, which is the desire or behavior to ignore, evade, or avoid reality.

It’s easy to get swept away in a fantasy lifestyle while traveling. We must not forget that travel can also be one of the best forms of self-care. So how can you tell if you’re using travel to discover yourself and heal or run away from an unhappy life?

As I discuss in this week’s episode, it’s a thin line between self-care and escapism when it comes to travel. I share my own travel escapism experiences and my ah-ha moment that helped me discover when I was using travel to escape.

Highlights
What is travel escapism and what are the signs?
The difference between escapism and self-care travel
If you do travel to escape your problems, what happens when you can’t travel
My own experiences with travel escapism
How to avoid using travel to escape your reality

As a Black woman, the confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson were traumatizing, but not shocking. And then there was that one moment when U.S. Senator Cory Booker made us have hope. In this episode, I discuss my reaction to the hearings and what this means for us.

It’s the first day of spring and it’s time for a deep cleaning of your mind and energy. This week’s episode is inspired by Alicia Keys’ song, “So Done” and the powerful Virgo Full Moon. I recently realized that in order for me to live the way that I want, there are a few things I need to be so done with ASAP. It was time to let go and get to cleaning. I won’t say it’s been easy or fun, but the clarity has been powerful when you allow yourself to clean your mind and energy.

Why is it so easy to deflect a compliment or an offer of help and so much harder to simply say thank you and receive? I believe it’s because many are uncomfortable and feel some kind of way about being on the receiving end of this energy exchange. I get it, as this is something I’ve had to grapple with in my own healing journey.

And while there’ll probably never be a “Season of Receiving” marketing campaign, not excelling in receiving is secretly messing up your life. It’s time for you to discover how and fix it ASAP! In this episode, we’re discussing why it’s so easy to give but harder to receive myths and old patterns that are limiting your ability to receive, and ways to become a receiving pro.

We all wash. We care about the laundry detergent used. We even care about how our car is washed. But why do we then go into the shower and mindlessly throw soap on our body not to smell? Imagine if you took this common daily behavior of washing and elevated it into a process of caring for your physical and mental body in a different way.  Thanks to MasterPeace, a new line of luxury body therapy products by Iyanla Vanzant, this is exactly how I’ve started to master peace within my own life.  

Iyanla Vanzant really needs no introduction. She has been like one of our favorite aunties, as she has a long history of helping us heal. You may know her from Fix My Life or her books, but she’s also a spiritual teacher, Reiki Master, and a master herbalist. In this episode, I’m discussing Iyanla’s new line of body therapy products that have an intentional purpose and give guidance on how you can begin to master your energy and have peace in your life.
