ISSUE 47 | MAY 9, 202519 things I tried to teach my sonMy Loves,I’m interrupting my 3 part, What in the Woo? Series for some Mother’s Day wuv. Because moms get to pull rank. (It’s Mother’s Day in North America and Australia on May 11. UK it was March 15.)My son just moved across the country. My grief (don’t go!) and aggravation (time to go!) has morphed into excitement for both of us (LFG!)I wept, almost daily, for weeks leading up to his departure. Then he peeled out of our cul-de-sac and I just crumbled. Took me by surprise how deep that pain hit. I pr[...]

Your Inner Child is not the “younger version” of you.

ISSUE 46 | MAY 2, 2025Your Inner Child is not the “younger version” of you.Hello Love, I’m in Egypt for another week. So today is Part 2 in my 3-part What In the Woo? Series. I want to offer a fresh perspective on how to work with the term “Inner Child.”Not everyone agrees on Inner Child terminology. But this is the approach that I’ve been taught and resonate with the most. And I’ve seen its efficacy with 1000’s of my readers and in our Heart Centered Collective. The Inner Child is a symbol of our unconscious self[...]

If real love and artificial intelligence had a baby…

ISSUE 44 | APRIL 18, 2025If real love and artificial intelligence had a baby… Hello Love,I’ve wrangled our perspectives on AI—the gloom and the glory, the aversion and the Hope. My post, “AI IS NOT YOUR BEST LIFE COACH” had a lot of cheers and a few jeers. Mostly, people were grateful that we're putting a voice to concerns. Some people missed the point.A lot of us are worried that using ChatGPT for mental health might not be so good for our mental health. One person told me I was archaic. (That’s okay. I was on Marketplace last week and the telephone[...]

The (significant) downside of fawning

ISSUE 43 | APRIL 11, 2025The (significant) downside of fawningHello Loves,In the last issue, I made a point that, like, AI IS NOT YOUR BEST LIFE COACH (Issue 42). It was one of the most shared + saved posts I have ever written.My focus was on the emotional manipulation that can come from artificial intelligence. Essentially, the algorithm is being trained—by our behavior and inputs—to kiss ass. It’s called fawning.It’s a form of emotional manipulation. In humans, fawning is a survival mechanism.Fight, flight, freeze, fawn, are behaviours of a dysregulated[...]

AI is not your best life coach. Emotional manipulation vs. the power of self-referencing.

I’ve never used ChatGPT. Couldn’t tell you how to do it. My team uses it for worky things. We have a team policy to ONLY use it for research—NEVER to take the place of communicating with humans. And no way ever, neverrr will any form of AI be used to “write as Danielle.” Because I am Danielle. Hi. It’s really me. Always has been, always will be. So, not surprisingly…I’ve never used AI for life guidance. For the same reasons that I no longer consult with psychics, mediums, or oracle readers. Those external sources, as talented as s[...]

How to Use Ritual to Make Your Habits (Finally) Stick

Are you waiting on better habits to fix your life?We’re going esoterically practical today. I’m talking about the difference between habits and rituals. Habits are from the intellect. Rituals are from the heart. One can burn you out, the other can bless your life.In Eps 174 of With Love, Danielle, I walk you through a handful of practices that have supported me over the years: a ritual for connecting to your inner child, a list of what you trust (to calm the nervous system), chanting your own name (yep, it’s powerful), and looking into your own eyes with lov[...]
