Today's Life Question of the Week asks how can we stay positive and not allow our minds to wander into hopeless thoughts and feelings given our many personal, as well as planetary, challenges.

Next, Michael sits down with Danielle LaPorte, member of Oprah's SuperSoul 100, author of The Fire Starter Sessions, The Desire Map, White Hot Truth, and producer of dozens of meditation kits and online programs for spiritual support. She's also the creator of the Heart Centered Membership and the Heart Centered Leadership Program. Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, often ranks in iTunes' top 10 for wellness. Her latest book, How To Be Loving…As Your Heart is Breaking Open and Our World is Waking Up, along with the companion deck and journal, are now available.

In this episode, Michael and Danielle go in deep on the intelligence of the heart, what our thoughts and feelings mean including why it's okay to feel our feelings but not over-identify with them; how we "grow upward" to embody Love; how to let go through and with Love; when our self-care boundaries stop protecting and start isolating us from Love and how to correct that; and what our true identity is (hint: Love)--and much more!
