“Finding Magic in the Messy Middle" with Danielle LaPorte

You’re listening to episode 104 of the Lead with Love podcast. This interview was originally on a Facebook live video, so here's the show notes link if you want to watch it (FIND full show notes here): http://jadahsellner.com/finding-magic-in-the-messy-middle-danielle-laporte-104/ In this cozy conversation about transitions, trust, and finding magic in the messy middle, I interview Danielle LaPorte. Her answers are super inspiring, real, and unfiltered (so kids wear your ear muffs!). Danielle LaPorte is a writer, speaker, poet, business maven, mama, muse to many, and a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100. I love the way she shows up in the world, standing in her truth and leading with heart. You can get your hands on Danielle’s newest book White Hot Truth: Clarity for Keeping It Real on Your Spiritual Path from One Seeker to Another. Some things we talk about in today’s episode are… How Danielle responds to a room full of strangers when asked, “so what do you do?” Her reason for cutting her dreads (did you know she had them twice?!) Why she took a break from the speaking circuit (and her thoughts about FOMO - fear of missing out) You’ll learn a couple of different ways you can say “no” to opportunities that come your way Transitions, rebranding, and her favorite way of connecting with her son (this simple, quick ritual is SO good, and I’ve already added it to my family routine) I also asked a question that Danielle’s never been asked before and her answer was a good one! You’ll have to listen to find out which one it was. ;-) I hope you’ve been enjoying the Lead with Love podcast.
