WITH LOVE, DANIELLE

Waiting is exhausting—and the cost of waiting to be self-expressed is high. Suppressing your life force takes energy, so why do we wait to show up, to express, to create?

This week, I'm talking about the three reasons we stall on our dreams—social conditioning, fear, and fatigue—and how we can move through the resistance.

Because your dreams? They deserve to be yours…sooner.

In this episode:

• The mental, emotional, and spiritual cost of waiting
• Why "tired of waiting" is literal—and how to shift it
• The fastest way to break through fear + fatigue
• How social conditioning has us delaying our power (and how to undo it)

The Prayer of St. Francis is a magnificent prayer for becoming the Divine counterbalance. You can speak this to your Soul or the God of your understanding.

Bear in mind the universal law: "For it is in giving that we receive." So we are taught by Saint Francis: "And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." This isn't necessarily literal death. It's a dying of the old ways and our illusions of separateness. It's the awareness that our oneness is eternal life.

Our 2025 Daily edition of the Heart Centered planner revived a simple exercise called the What I Trust list.

So for this episode of With Love, Danielle we are reaching back into the archives and choosing this episode as a BEST OF.

Instead of mustering bravado about things that we hope are true, root into what we viscerally know we can rely on. This is an effective way to dissolve your anxiety and balance your nervous system.

So, what do you trust?

1. Focus on the present. The point of this exercise is to access the trust that you already have. It's unwavering and true for you. This is not about building new trust or visualizing outcomes. We're concentrating on what is currently working.

2. Write it out. It's helpful that your "What I Trust" List be written out, not typed up. The movement, hand to vision, helps your psyche to feel the comfort. Imagine your mind is like a lung, inhaling and exhaling as you list out what you're trusting. And/or…

3. Speak it out. If you're an auditory-learner, speak it out. Leave yourself a voicemail, or record a voice memo on your mobile, or talk to yourself. Kindly. Do not underestimate how impactful this can be.

4. Stream your consciousness. Just let it pour out—but, again, don't include things on your list that you don't fully have trust in. It's okay if your list is short—brevity is better than bravado.

5. Be really obvious if you need to be. Nothing is too great or too small to put your trust in. Sometimes the most basic things will give you a boost, especially if you're finding it difficult to think of things that you fully trust.

Intentionally access what you know to be positive and true. That sureness builds a bridge to more Joy and power.

One of the foundational Heart Centered perspectives for life + leadership is that every relationship is a Divine assignment and an opportunity to learn and heal. Relationships help us connect with our Higher Selves, and become more authentic, Loving, and Compassionate. They can bring unconscious issues to the surface, allowing us to address and heal them.

And that's why we chose this episode of With Love, Danielle as a BEST OF episode.

In this episode Danielle shares five questions to help you embody Compassion and Truth, including our favourite: how can I Love my way through?

What would happen if you asked yourself this question when you're feeling on edge with someone? How would your relationship change? What divisiveness would melt?

Download the 5 RELATIONSHIP REFLECTION QUESTIONS—these are inside the Heart Centered Planner. They appear every three months and they might melt your heart, stop a fight from happening, or multiply your appreciation for all the Love in your life and the world.

We've been talking a lot about habits and rituals lately in our Heart Centered Membership community and classes. And our new Heart Centered planner includes a "habit tracker."

'Tis the season, right?

But before we jump into optimization mode, we need to look beneath the surface into our psyche to examine what's really up when we wake up. And that's what most productivity methods miss—our history with mornings.

And that's why we chose this episode of With Love, Danielle as a BEST OF episode.

Danielle explains how she created her own therapeutic approach to mornings because "morning mindfulness is how you activate your superpowers." It sets up how the rest of your day (and your life) unfolds, so let's take a deeper, psychological look.
