Embracing the Journey: Authentic Connections, Self-Love, and the Art of Intention with Danielle

Danielle Sharkey
Have you ever met someone whose journey seems to echo your own, whose stories resonate with your spirit? That's the magic Danielle brings each time she graces our podcast. Today, we weave a rich tapestry of conversation, exploring everything from the evolution of wellness to the acceptance of spirituality and the enchantment of everyday life. Danielle's anecdotes of manifesting her dreams through the power of intention set the stage for our own reflections on personal growth and the transformative milestones we've celebrated together with you, our dear listeners.

Finding your tribe isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity for those traversing the path of self-discovery and healing. We delve into the intricate dance of masculine and feminine energies within us and discuss the importance of fostering communities that reflect our inner transformations. The bonds we form within these sanctuaries of shared understanding empower us to embrace our unique paths, free from the need for universal acceptance. In this heartfelt exchange, we unpack the complexities of the savior complex in relationships and shine a light on the profound awakenings that can arise when we choose self-love over the desire to fix others.

As we chart the course toward authentic connections and self-love, we tackle the notion of true abundance—how it transcends material accumulation and is deeply rooted in gratitude for the wealth of experiences and relationships that enrich our lives. With Danielle's wisdom as our compass, we navigate the art of intention and the grace of surrender, inviting you to join us in a collective pursuit of dreams fueled by authenticity and passion. This episode is not just a conversation; it's an open invitation to celebrate the journey, honor our truths, and step into the abundance that awaits us when we live mindfully and wholeheartedly.

Speaker 2: 0:02

Hello everyone. Welcome back to Mindfully Moody. We are so excited because we have a very, very special guest today. We're just going to jump right into it because we got a lot to say and this is a very special episode. I am joined with Hannah, my best friend and co-host, and like I don't even know how to introduce you and all of you are amazing magic. Relax, relax. But my dear, dear friend, my coach, my inspiration, my mentor, who this is our third time on our podcast, so, like you, are a reoccurring guest at this point, okay, danielle, welcome. Thank you so much for coming on to share your wisdom and all of your love with our listeners. So excited, happy, grateful to have you here.

Speaker 3: 1:02

Thank you. I received that. I'm so happy to be back and be discussing oh, I'm sure, just an infinite amount of topics today with both of you. I was actually reflecting back to previous episodes and how it was like when I first moved to Costa Rica and then the last one was last year when I was here in Utah around the same time and just to have a space to come back to with both of you where I feel like so comfortable and seen. It's really nourishing and it's also a really cool way to reflect. So thanks for having me. I love you both. I'm excited to see where today's conversation and stream of consciousness leads, so yes, we're so excited to have you back on.

Speaker 1: 1:54

Also, I was looking and, yeah, we released the episode last year on January 9th and it's January 8th, so so oh, my gosh, I almost won here exactly.

Speaker 3: 2:07

Crazy. That is really weird, but see me too really weird but also really cool at the same time. It's like I think we have this little trifecta for a reason you know, and I think it's going to continue to expand with us three and more people that we know together, and I think we can just continue to and remember to lean on each other and help each other's dreams come true, because that's I mean. I am in full support of Mindfully Moody. I love the name. I love what you guys are doing. I also love seeing how you have both expanded on your individual journeys and you've expanded with this podcast particularly. I felt like maybe when I first came on, it was a little more, and this is similar to my journey as a coach and a facilitator as well. It feels like when I first came on, like maybe over a year and a half ago, it was more like wellness kind of how can we logically understand this kind of stuff? You know what I mean, and now it's. You guys are like this is me, I am the goddess, I am the queen, I am embodied in all of my spirituality and magic and I'm just saying I'm talking about it all, I'm saying it all, I'm feeling it all.

Speaker 2: 3:22

So that's so true. When we met in person and Danielle was like I did not realize you were like this spiritual and woo woo and like like yeah, because it's been an evolution. I mean, if you think about where we started, hannah, we were like so like mindset, how the brain works, rewiring, and like we still love that, but it's also like just shifted, as we shift and grow and evolve, so we love that.

Speaker 1: 3:55

It's so crazy to think about just like the different versions of ourselves, right Like us when we first met you, I'm like I don't even know how we met you. Was it on TikTok?

Speaker 3: 4:05

I think so.

Speaker 1: 4:05

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 4:06

I yeah, I think Hannah, you were like. I found this girl on TikTok Danielle and she's like really cool, I love her content. We should have her on. I think that's what happened. So crazy.

Speaker 1: 4:17

Yeah, it's crazy because, oh sorry, keep going. Well, I was just going to say, and then even to think about, like one year ago, like I think we were talking to you about intuition, and just to even think like, like what I thought intuition was then compared to, like the work that I've done and like just saw what I've learned this year, and like now, what intuition is to me now? Like I'm excited for next year, 2025, when we have you on again and we're going to be like what the hell? Like let's go.

Speaker 2: 4:50

Blasting off. Let's go.

Speaker 3: 4:54

I'm just. I'm actually ascended from the physical realm at that point, so you're going to have to invite my, my spiritual body.

Speaker 2: 5:03

Where is she now? We got to find her.

Speaker 3: 5:08

I don't know probably, I'll probably be in Europe. I'll probably be in Europe next year, so end of this year to next year. So yeah, and it's really cool. I don't know if I told you this, maybe maybe I did in previous episodes, but the week that you guys asked me to be on the podcast, like a week or two prior, I started manifesting, being on podcasts and then, boom, you and one other person that I know you guys both interviewed me and it was just again the representation and the reflection of the power of manifestation and the art of intention and belief, then again how that has developed in strength for all of us and what we've created over the last year. You know. Just to like go into kind of what you were talking about a little bit earlier, sarah, when we met in person at my retreat, that was first of all I felt like I had known you for decades.

Speaker 2: 6:08

And it was like it was not weird at all.

Speaker 3: 6:11

There was no, there was no. Like I was not anxious, I was not scared. Also, I didn't realize how tall you are and like I'm tall too, and there was just that connection. And then, yeah, to see your, your gifts, I didn't realize how tapped in you were. I was pleasantly surprised. I think the words that did come out of my mouth and I apologize if I offended you, but I think I said something along the lines of I thought you were straight.

Speaker 2: 6:44

She did, she did say those words. Hannah, imagine me. Hannah knows me the best of anyone she's like. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 3: 6:57

I don't know what. I think that was like the initial impression, because I feel like you guys just have your shit together so much. And it was like you know, was like organized, and it was. You guys had it all together and so I just, yeah, my initial impression and obviously, as I've seen you grow, it's completely different yeah.

Speaker 2: 7:18

I mean, I think I was projecting that like corporate, corporate girly vibe back then too, you know, and we were so nervous, like we were recently thinking about how much we've shifted of, like how we used to record, like we used to be so nervous going into an episode, like we had to have talking points and like if we had someone on we need to know what we're going to ask them, and like it had to be so detailed and wow, what a shift. Now we're just like we're just showing up and like what comes up is what meant, is meant to come up. You know, yeah.

Speaker 1: 7:53

I feel like also like the work that we both have done with like understanding the masculine and feminine energies within us like has a lot to do with that, because we were so in our masculine and our wounded feminine like making sure that everything is going to be perfect and like not even like giving room for that flow and like just freedom, and I feel like that just also is like a testimony of the work that we've done, sarah, just like slowing down, tapping in, like and getting into that flow state which has been so beautiful.

Speaker 3: 8:23

Mmm, that's so yummy, that's so yummy, you know it's scrumptious and it's cool because, like you guys, are my people right? And when you find your people you know, and what's really interesting and this is where that idea or theory but for me it's a pretty deep belief comes in around. Everything is just a mirror of your consciousness, because when we go through these phases like for me at the last year, last year and a half, since I moved to Costa Rica, really was about healing the wounded feminine, you know, nurturing that part of me. It was really painful for many moments of that. But when you're going through that, I even want to say like archetypal shift within, where you're healing an aspect or an archetype that is within yourself, you start to see it reflected everywhere around you, through the people that are in your life or your relationships, through the world, through the collective consciousness. It's like whoa, you know, in those moments where we feel like we're really alone, we realize we're really not, because it seems like we all have a tendency to kind of go through the same internal journey around the same time. If we're on that path, does that make sense?

Speaker 2: 9:49

Yeah, totally. It's so interesting to see what shows up in your life, who shows up in your life when you're on that journey to. It's like like Hannah and I say to each other all the time, like it's crazy that we're going through the same thing at the same time, like how are we shifting at the same time, in the same way and arriving to the same truths? You know, and it's like I feel that same way with you, danielle, of like wait, what Are we like what's happening here? You know, and it's so amazing, like coming out of the retreat, like and how an incredible community, like connection that we built there, like, oh my gosh. We always encourage people on the podcast like find your people, because it things start to make sense more and that idea of like you're not alone, that you sometimes can feel like, just radiates when you meet the right people, you know.

Speaker 3: 10:53

Yeah, yeah, I think that that was also a huge focus for the last 12 months for me. Is I that that lone wolf, that lone wolf archetypal trauma response really is something that I have dealt with majority of my life? And when you're able to, when you have the privilege really to go to the places that you're called to in the world, it's usually because you are able to find your people, like there's usually a lot of soulmates. Where you're feeling that pool, there's usually a lot of soulmates and reflections and mirrors, when you're able to answer that call and kind of like set out on this pilgrimage. Because we're light workers, you know, and light workers, star seeds, like you work with angels, whatever it is, healers, there's so many words for it. But it's also this double-edged sword where majority of the people that are going to surround you maybe not forever, as you build your own community, but the majority of the people that are going to surround you in the everyday life, they're not going to understand it. You know they can try, but unless this is also their soul's mission, it can be lonely, you know. And so when you find the right people and you just know it and you're actively trying to support each other and you're actively trying to lift each other up and influence each other in a positive way. That's just what. Like that, is the deepest core need that I think we all have and that I think you know. Coming back to the States, I don't want to overgeneralize, but I see so much lack of that, and so when you find people like the way we found each other and it feels like this, it feels like sisterhood from lifetimes, lifetimes prior, hold on to that, because the new way of life that is emerging is a way of living back in unison with nature and in connection to supportive and conscious community. I don't know where that came from, but it came through.

Speaker 2: 13:18

It's so beautiful, stay at center.

Speaker 3: 13:20

Yeah, it's just happening.

Speaker 2: 13:24

Well, as we're like thinking about, you know, 2023, learnings, lessons, experiences, like breakthroughs, all those kind of things like that for me. I mean, everything that you just had is a breakthrough for me, but also the idea of like I am not going to be understood by everyone, and that's okay, because the people that do understand me, like the community that we're talking about, like that's what I need, I desire that, I need that I don't need to feel that way with everyone and like I used to need to be understood by everyone. You know that energy like they don't get me they don't understand me and like that, like just anxiety, anger, like those, that frustration, like negative energy, that that breeds, like who to leave that to the side.

Speaker 1: 14:21

That's so freeing, that's we love that Feels so good to shift from that Like what's coming up for me, like when I first quit my job and like started this journey of like spirituality and stuff. It's like, you see, I mean there's been multiple, but I would say probably the real work like was like 2020, like we're just like gradually started to grow, but then this year has been like this real, real, real spiritual journey.

Speaker 3: 14:50

I feel like I'm gonna keep saying that Four years ago 2020. No, that's crazy.

Speaker 2: 14:55

That's four years ago. That's crazy, why.

Speaker 1: 14:59

Seems like it was just yesterday, yeah.

Speaker 3: 15:02

Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.

Speaker 1: 15:03

No, you're good. But I feel like when I was like at that point, it's like you just kind of you start to feel shifts and you wanna just like scream it from the rooftop and like you want to help all of your friends and help all your family, and then like you're like giving all that you can give to everybody and then you realize that it's like not necessarily received or people don't actually want to hear it, people don't want to take the medicine that you're taking, and I think that it takes a journey to go through that and like now I'm at this place where it's like I'm never gonna try to convince someone to like or put my beliefs or what's worked for me onto other people and like try to convince them, because it's like we all have to show up to that journey in our own way and a lot of people may not even experience this level of spirituality in this lifetime, right, because it's not in their soul contract or they have to go through something. So I think like that's just like a huge learning of like people are on their own journey and it's like for them to find out, for them to figure it out.

Speaker 3: 16:04

That is, yeah, that's, there's this, and I've been thinking about this, particularly because I want to be as honest as possible also about, like, what I have to work through. I think the last two episodes I showed out for sure, but I wasn't necessarily being like, okay, this is what I'm working through, because I'm not perfect. Nobody is perfect. We all have things to work through. We all have things that we have to heal from every single year. You know, 2023 was fucking epic, but are there still really hard lessons that I need to learn about myself and my ego and my personality that I am learning to transmute and overcome? Yes, and to touch on what you said, hannah, that, like, when you get that wisdom that you just feel in every part of your being is so valuable that if the whole world could just know like an ounce of what you know, things would be so much different, right? And that is where a little bit of the savior complex, of the spiritual journey starts to be bred, and that is something I want to talk about around. You know, one of not even I wouldn't even say it's a hardship, but there is a piece, an aspect of myself that, because I've seen miracles or miraculous things happen because I've helped people to heal simply through energy, work and mindset. You know, like there's a piece of myself where I know and it still exists. I know that if you just let me help you, we can fix this. Are you gonna let me help you? You should let me help you. Let me show you, let me tell you, let me tell you the truth, let me tell you all this, let me tell you what I'm gonna do and that, personally, it doesn't really show up with my female friends, which is interesting. Maybe something will come up in this conversation, but it shows. It has shown up since I became single in 2022 and moved to Costa Rica. It has shown up in the men that I have attracted romantically over the last year and a half. They have the common theme is they tend to be kind of these like spiritually inclined, for sure, but kind of these like broken, lonely souls that have seen something in me and maybe they unconsciously saw that I could help them or they could take something from me that would alleviate their suffering. And that's what I've been attracting. And I realized I got called out by one of my healers. She was like first of all, you get blinded by physical beauty, okay, whatever. Okay, that's a part of it. And then when you're blinded by that physical beauty, you don't realize that, like you are trying to save these men and so that save your complex, however it expresses for you. I think it's something that we slip into, or even save your complex, or just like I know better than energy that maybe when we go through an awakening it's a common thread to experience at least just a little bit of it.

Speaker 2: 19:39

Yeah, 100%, I mean yeah, go ahead Are you gonna say something, you go ahead, okay, I'm like I. You got it. You got it, like, do you have something to say? But I completely resonate with this, like not in the sense of men right now at this point in my life, but like friends, absolutely, and I feel like a lot of people do, because, yeah, it's like there is something and I do think that it comes from the ego, even though it is like a positive intention. It feels like a positive intention, like I wanna help you and, yeah, I have a lot of info and if you could just sit there and listen to the info, your whole life could change. You know. But it's like people make the changes that are meant for them when they're ready, and they may never, ever, ever be ready, whether they're your friend, you're dating them, they're your parent. That's a triggering one for a lot of people. I'm sure A sibling, whatever it's like. You could be waiting your whole life and they never get ready. They never even are on 50% ready. So like that acknowledgement of okay, I can only help people that wanna be helped. And then it's even like how much can I help them? Because I'll never be able to help them like they can help themselves. So like what is that balance? It's really hard. I struggle with that a lot.

Speaker 1: 21:27

It's interesting to think about also in relationships. I'm thinking of this savior complex associated with the spiritual journey, but then I'm also thinking about from a relationship standpoint. I resonate with what you're saying about me wanting to fix men and almost not accepting them as they are, kind of thing. It's like, oh, I want there's something I can help them with, even though they may not even want help. And I feel like that can also come back to like for me, like wounded things for my childhood, of like you know, relationship with my dad and like that's what I saw, like I was there to help and like now I wanna be this helper and like everyone's life. So yeah, but also the ego. The ego shows up for me too, of like I can help, let me help.

Speaker 3: 22:11

Yeah, yeah, and the wounded inner child is a part of the ego, right, like the inner child, the child, those are biases or beliefs or perspectives based on experiences that implant into our ego, right? Because if we are looking at it from a pure soul perspective or a higher self perspective, we would have zero attachment to anybody else's journey, you know, yeah that's so true, and this is not good or bad. This is not good or bad, it just is what it is and there's a purpose for everything right. It's an awareness into a deeper understanding. It always comes back to where can I lean deeper into loving myself internally, all parts of me? Because for me it comes from a wounded place as well, of needing to do X Y, z in order to receive love or the love that I desire, needing to, you know in the past, show up or like make everybody happy or whatever it was, so that I could then get the adoration, adoration and affirmation that I give out to everybody else, right? So, typically, like these patterns, these cycles, they again, they just show us where we need to deepen into loving and nurturing ourselves. Come back to the inner world.

Speaker 2: 23:42

Yes, that is so true. I think about myself and like the relationship that I saw my parents have and how my mom was such a caretaker of my dad and how that gave her value internally to herself and also to him, you know, and how like that dynamic then translated to me in my relationship to where I was over helping my partner, over leading the relationship going way further into my masculine, because I thought I had to from that wounded place of like. Well, this is how I get love. I can only receive love by literally over and over and over committing myself, you know to a partner, because then they'll see me in some way, you know. So me transforming that in my own relationship that I currently have now has been like which has happened for me this year Like that was a 2023 thing of like the realization of that coming from a wounded place, recognizing that and then also him seeing that he was receiving it or accepting it because of where he was coming from from a wounded place, you know and then like working through that dynamic. So yeah, it all goes back to the wounds. It all roads lead back to the wounds.

Speaker 3: 25:13

Right, and but also there's like another piece of it, because I've been literally experiencing this, like over the last couple of weeks since being back in Utah this beautiful mirror Because then there's the other piece of it where, when I am in my fullest expression and you guys probably know this about me now but I'm just such a loving and compassionate person Like my, if I'm in alignment and I'm feeling good, I'm loving, I'm laughing, you know, I'm just, I'm fine, I'm fine you know, Like I'm elevating the room, not because now it depends on where I'm at, but not because now I feel like I need to, because now I'm at a point in my life where I'm so happy that that is just my natural state. And so also when these broken maybe you guys can help me dissect this a little bit Cause also now, when these like more broken people I don't want to say broken, maybe that's too drastic Like wounded people, they obviously are making their way into my life for a reason for me to see that I don't need to help everybody, but also that piece of me that comes from my heart, is so compassionate and just wants to like, scoop them up and love them and and you know, just show them light that they probably really need too. So it can come from two different places or two places at the same time right, the lower self and the higher self, which makes it more complicated. But there's no black and white.

Speaker 1: 26:49

I love that you are able to like still shine, like in, show up in that light and like being that girl, like even though maybe there's situations that tried knocking you off but you still show up as her. I I was just telling this to Sarah the other day, but I feel like I've been not necessarily wronged. But I recently went through a situation and a couple situations and I feel like I was showing up as this like nice girl, this fun girl, the one that's bringing the good energy, like I'm always like on and like wanting to like you, hear everyone and make everyone feel seen and heard and all this stuff. And I feel like I recently like had this awakening where I'm like I'm putting that nice girl to rest. So I'm in a little bit of a different era than you Like. I feel like I'm entering into this like dark, feminine, like bitch era, like you can't have access to me kind of thing. Yes, honey, because I've just I think that like I've spent so many years in that people please their energy and it just like gets so tiring and I've had just this shift. I really do feel like it's like 2024. I'm just like not having it. Not everyone gets access to me Like people cannot know the depths of me unless they earn it type of thing, and I'm excited for this new era, this new era of the dark.

Speaker 3: 28:09

Hold on, hold, on, hold on. Don't get it twisted, honey, don't get it twisted. Ha ha, ha ha. There are boundaries that are needed and required, and I first of all, love this for you. I think the dark feminine, she is necessary. And that archetype as we were speaking about speaking to archetypes earlier, that archetype really bubbles to the surface for me and a lot of the women I work with and know, like, when they're right, after they're going through like a breakup, or they were taken advantage of, or they're right, their light was seen and you know those people use you to their advantage, right? However, there's a way to be, to continue. There's a phase for everything, right. I think you need to go through that and that's a part of being a woman, is like going back to the I take no shit. I like, I will not allow you into my energy. You are not going to treat me like this, and if somebody continues to show them over and over again who they are and they're mistreating you, let the dragon fucking go.

Speaker 2: 29:33

Let her go Rawr.

Speaker 3: 29:35

Because rawr, rawr, because that is also needed. I think there's a difference between being and I've been a people pleaser in the past, but now I, if I see continuous, you know I give people multiple chances. Still I do, and maybe it's still a bit too much, but after the last straw you're gonna hear everything that I need to say to you. I'm gonna fucking say it and I'm not gonna call you names, I'm not gonna cuss at you, but my light that was trying so bright, trying so hard to shine brightly onto you to lift you up, is going to shine onto your shadows and show you all the shit that you're not seeing. And I'm gonna say it you know, and so I think that's a good balance is still be a giving loving, bright start to the people that fucking deserve it, to the people that will give it back to you and to the people that will respect it and not take advantage of it and have boundaries in place and honor your intuition and your knowledge that you're gathering around certain individuals in your life so that does not continuously happen.

Speaker 1: 30:53

I love that. I love what you said yeah, right there, like who deserves it? Cause that was also coming up in me is like I feel like I am just naturally this nice, like kind, loving, really loving person. And then I think sometimes things happen in life where it's like, okay, I need to maybe shut the door on some people, but still keep that light open for those who deserve it. So I love that you, yeah, framed it that way.

Speaker 3: 31:17

And those who reciprocate it. Yes, you know, when you're giving and you're giving and you're giving and you feel on some level let's say you have like a soul tie with somebody like there's something there, there's this like magnetic pool, but you keep giving and you keep giving chances and you keep, you know, you keep getting walked all over, even though there's probably something like spiritual that's happening there that you can't really see. It doesn't matter, because we have to remember, first and foremost, what we deserve and what we're worthy of. And it's no coincidence that you're wearing black right now, if you're, like I'm in my dark feminine.

Speaker 1: 31:59

If you see, no, you didn't, bye, bye.

Speaker 3: 32:03

We're not doing it. But, yeah, I mean the shadow that deeper that comes from sacred rage. You know the divine, feminine rage, and rage is something that we need to honor in a healthy way and learn to express in a way that's going to be, you know, safe for yourself, for everyone involved. But I also feel that, because I was dealing with this even last night, like this anger towards this person, but then I realized it wasn't anger towards this person, it was anger towards myself, for, again, not listening to my intuition, trying to romanticize something and going back when I told myself I was done. And so there's this anger towards okay, again there's this pattern of me, not there's this pattern of, when it comes to love or romance me not honoring what I promise myself to do.

Speaker 2: 33:06

That's so important when they take advantage of you and my perspective.

Speaker 3: 33:11

Sorry, last little thing. When they take advantage of you and my perspective, it's like on me because I continue to allow them into my space.

Speaker 2: 33:23

I love that you brought this up because it's like this is such a hot topic. I feel like that the people want to know about, of the when you're on a spiritual journey, you have such a wealth of knowledge that you've gained about yourself and why you are, the way you are in your shadows and your light and all these things intuition and then it comes to dating and choosing a partner and it's like things start to kind of get a little wacky there. it's like wait, what's going on here? Why am I not honoring my intuition in the same way when it comes to relationships as I would with my career, or maybe non-romantic relationships, friendships or family or whatever? It's like this new thing comes in and then we kind of like and I have done this so much in my past we just ignore our intuition. It's like let's just pretend that we're not even hearing that like screw those things in the back of my mind because I'm just reaching for, or the front of my mind in a lot of ways, because I'm just reaching for that love that we all desire, you know.

Speaker 3: 34:49

Yeah, yeah, that's a big one. It's the neurochemicals that get released when you bond with someone, right? And dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin. It just puts you on this cocktail of bliss energy. And for me personally, being on and off with the celibacy journey over the last year, especially when you haven't had, true, even just a hug, you know, and you're around Someone that you're physically attracted to, and there's some sort of like depth there. When they touch you, when they just hug you, it just it, like it reminds your physical body how good it feels to be touched, you know, and how healthy and healing physical touch and even platonically from others is. And then that flooding of neurochemicals, it's the rose-colored glasses, right, it puts those rose-colored glasses on of like, oh, just, you know, but we're so good when we're together and even though when we're apart it's terrible all the time. It's like our brains and our bodies are kind of naturally programmed, especially as women, especially as women. The difference of what happens in our brains and our bodies when we're physically intimate with a man versus what happens in their brain and body, it's completely different. It's completely different. So if you want to be really intentional with dating and you want to wait, like myself, I know I'm ready. That's been a huge shift over the last years, knowing that I'm ready for my person at least I think I am. We'll see but I'm more in a place to be in a partnership than I ever have been in my life. Let's put it that way, and yeah, you have to be. The invitation is to be very intentional with dating and the vows that you're making yourself, with physical intimacy and the energy exchange and who you are allowing into your field, because if you continue to allow the wrong man, it's gonna block you from the right one, or woman or whatever, whatever it is you're interested in.

Speaker 1: 37:21

So I can talk about this for days Dating. I know I'm like.

Speaker 2: 37:30

Hannah, what's your lesson at 2023? Dating.

Speaker 3: 37:34

Yes, bring it in, Bring it in tell us.

Speaker 1: 37:37

Yeah, no, it's been. Honestly, I'm so, so happy, Like what I experienced in 2023. Cause I feel like I just dated some shit men dealing with damn, like I would literally deal with whatever, and I like went on a hiatus from dating and I like was like damn, I haven't had a date since May. And now, like I think I've just been spending so much time healing and like falling in love with myself first and foremost, like really truly loving all these aspects about me. Cause I got to this point where I'm like, if I don't love me, if I don't like hanging out with me, how can I ever expect someone else to? So that was like majority of 2023 is really spending that time falling in love with myself, but then also getting so clear on like who is he Like, so crystal clear. I have this notes app or a note in my notes app, and it's like going on Like how do I want to feel with him? Like what kind of things do I want to do together? Like what, what does he look like? Like, how does he make me feel, like what are we doing on a Sunday afternoon? And so like I think, yeah, I'm getting, I'm getting very like, very specific.

Speaker 2: 38:45

Spirit's like amen.

Speaker 1: 38:48

I got to get clear and it's helped me, like now I'm like kind of back into like the dating world and it feels actually really exciting because it's like I know what I want and I know what signs to look for. Like if a guy is doing these things that doesn't align with my dream person, cut it Next, thank you. Next, like buy, cause we don't have time for it, and like that comes with boundaries and that comes with just like. That's just like on knowing yourself and like knowing what you want. And yeah, it's been really, really beautiful. And I'm just so excited cause I'm also aligning with my person this year and it just feels, it feels so close, it feels like it's already done. I'm really trying to get in that energy. But what is coming up for me, like from this conversation with intuition? And I want to like ask you guys this if you guys feel like this when you're, you know, overly emotional or overly attached to an outcome, do you find that like it's harder to like hear, like through intuition, or like to receive answers Cause you know, for dating, for example, or like finding you in my dream person. When I am dating someone and I have a questions, it's like sometimes the emotion overwhelms, which like means I feel like I'm not getting the straight answer that I should, kind of thing. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3: 40:10

Yeah, totally. Oh Woo, there's a big one coming up, so be ready. I just feel like the energy bubbling to the surface right now. So what I've been taught, and I first and foremost want to say like I've had really beautiful, incredible spiritual connections with some men over the last year and a half and they've been life changing in many ways, and it's not that they haven't given me goodness or treated me better than previous. It's just that there were things that were red flags and things that were lacking and things that just weren't really in alignment with who I am and where I'm going. And speaking on the when you become overly attached thing, right, that is literally what has been coming through for me over the last couple of weeks. The lesson on if you seek, you won't find, because seeking makes the human heart's blind Mm. That's a quote from one of my favorite Danit songs called Heartbeat. If we are constantly seeking externally, we will never find it. We're seeking love. That means that we do not have love, but the truth of who we are is we are love, we are light, and so if we are continuously reaching outwardly, dating, looking for validation, whether it be on a conscious or unconscious level, from men, from friends, from this, from that, and don't get me wrong, a little bit of affirmation here and there is great, it's good for the soul, it's good for the ego, but if we are on a mission to find something outside of ourselves, we will never find it and we are coming from a place of lovelessness, not a place of love. And so I truly believe on a fundamental level, when I place my ego to the side and I ask my heart, like what is true for me about my person. I'm not going to find him through a dating app because I am in that, seeking energy. Therefore, I'm in that lack energy. I know what it the tale is. Oldest time is that people say whether they believe in this or not. They say love shows up when you least expect it or right when you've given up. Why? What's that underlying thing? Because you are unattached. That is when it comes in, is when you embody all of it yourself and you let go of the time, the shape and the form in which it's going to show up for you, and you trust because you feel that wholeness already, without somebody else being physically present in your life.

Speaker 2: 43:02

I love that.

Speaker 3: 43:04

I had a little much so wise, so beautifully said.

Speaker 2: 43:12

It's so true that it connects to so many different things. I mean me wanting to start my coaching business, us wanting to grow mindfully moody, like coming from that place of lack seeking. I need this, I need this, I need this. Until I have that, I won't be satisfied. Well, then, guess you're not going to be satisfied. That's just what. Keep the universe keeps delivering and delivering and delivering. It's not just a theme in relationships. I feel like abundance. The idea of abundance was so everywhere in 2023 for people like DeLulu era. All these abundance, all these things, but people never really got to the core of it. You can't just say I'm abundant and then I found my partner and then it comes in for you. There's so many more layers to like why are you seeking that thing? Hannah and I were just talking about today. Why are we seeking to grow mindfully moody? What is that even doing for us in our lives? Where is that kind of energy coming from? We're really trying to get on the energy shifts for the podcast. So this is showing up a lot for us. But it's just so interesting because I feel like we live in a society that we are taught to seek. If you don't seek, you're failing. If you don't seek, you don't care. There's some like whether it be love, career, whatever it is, achievement of any sort. So it's a lot of like work to get comfortable with the idea of not seeking and allowing things to just come into your field.

Speaker 3: 45:00

And realizing that when you are seeking, it's an invitation to look at, just like what you guys said, the why, where is this coming from? And, by the way, I just want to say yes, yes to that. That is beautiful. That is beautiful to be that intentional with the projects and with your creations and everything in life. It's like, if I'm seeking, where am I lacking, and is that lack a fundamental aspect of my consciousness, and how can I create and build from that lack so it no longer exists within? I want to ask you guys a question. You gals, I don't know why I say you guys like that's just a, that's an American thing. We all do beautiful ladies, can I ask you a question? Of course yes. What is true wealth or true abundance to you?

Speaker 2: 46:06

That's a good one. I see Hannah. Hannah is really feeling into that answer right now. You want to go first?

Speaker 1: 46:22

Yeah, I mean, just what comes to mind is just like freedom, like good health, love, it all. It just comes back to core feelings and it's like the things that we want in life the relationship, the successful business, the all of the things. We just want the feelings from that thing, and it's like we can already cultivate the feelings today, like abundance. What does that feel like? It feels like having like just practicing gratitude and like seeing all the blessings and like being able to do what you want in life. And this feeling of flexibility and love, like everything comes back to love. It's like two foot motions fear or love and it's like just feeling love within yourself when you can have that Like everything, like that's everything for me.

Speaker 3: 47:24

I have some follow up questions, so, sarah, your turn turned it.

Speaker 2: 47:29

We swap the roles. I completely agree. I mean for me it's. It's not like a you know what is true wealth or abundance. I'm like being a millionaire, like that's not what comes up for me, which is what used to come up for me for sure, and I think I've transitioned. Freedom also definitely comes to my mind, like to put it simply, being able to do the things that I want to do when I want to do them is like what an abundance is, whether that be you know, deciding on a Tuesday that I am not going to work and I'm going to spend time with my partner or my future children, or, you know, being able to have that autonomy, that's that feels really true to me. Having that autonomy to make shifts in my life as I feel called to like. That's what feels like abundance to me, yeah.

Speaker 3: 48:30

Can I ask you both to you experience both of your answers on a daily basis.

Speaker 2: 48:40

Yeah.

Speaker 3: 48:41

Yeah, now what around you in your close vicinity and your environment makes you feel like you're abundant.

Speaker 1: 48:54

I got a $1,200 laptop.

Speaker 3: 48:55

here I have more than more than most can say. Let me tell you that.

Speaker 2: 49:03

Me too, me too.

Speaker 1: 49:05

I have a home. Yeah With heat. I have a freaking dog. I have a dog that I'm looking at my pet for fun, for fun. Love, that's abundance of love For fun.

Speaker 2: 49:19

We do do that for fun. I'm looking at cat right now too. Like, yeah, that is abundance. Like me right now being in, like my office slash guest room that I have been thinking about setting up in the way that it's set up right now, like that is abundance to me. Being here looking at both of you is abundance to me. Having friendships that are so sacred in my life I mean, what is more abundant than that? I love you guys have you got a wish for a person. I love you.

Speaker 3: 49:53

We will hug very, very soon at your wedding. I can't wait for that. The trillions I think more than trillions of cells that we have in our body right now, right, right. The money in the bank account that we look at and we say that's not enough. The air in our lungs that we don't even think about, that just passively moves in and out of our bodies to keep us alive. The mountain range I got the mountain range that I'm looking at right now, that like mother nature and how abundant mother nature is and how regenerative she is and how we are not separate from her. And so if we can do these little practices every, every single day, just like you both said and hopefully people that are listening we realize true wealth is not having millions of dollars, though that would be nice and there's no doubt that it's going to happen but that's not what we're actually seeking. And another person is not actually what we're seeking either, because when we get into the relationships, we realize it's just another, deeper way to meet ourselves. And meeting ourselves is meeting source, becoming one with source, with all creation. So don't forget what the abundance, like the prosperity that is within you and also surround you every single day, and I think that that's such a blessing about traveling to the second third world countries I get to, I get to see happiness and joy and freedom reflected and abundance reflected back to me from people that have a fraction of what I have, what you have, what we have together right and especially here in the States.

Speaker 2: 51:58

Wow, wow, I love like say it again, say it again. Okay, let's do it again, get this girl a mic.

Speaker 1: 52:08

Let's do a question. Yeah, I have a question for you. What sounds like Sahara podcast? What makes you your highest self? Sahara, come on, Um, but what do you?

Speaker 2: 52:23

love her.

Speaker 3: 52:25

We're manifesting her and she's already here she's sitting right next to me. I just didn't want to tell you, like I had no doubt when you said that I'm like she's already on, she's already on.

Speaker 1: 52:38

Anywhere in the room baby Daniel, what makes you like feel thing? Maybe things you do or gets you into this state of pure love?

Speaker 3: 52:55

Where do I begin? I've done a lot of a cauchic work this year. I've had a lot of like intuitive understandings of my soul, origin and stuff, but I've had confirmation this year and this I I refrain from sharing a lot about it because I don't want it to sound like righteous. I'm a very humble person, you know, um, but a lot of these healers this is like over a handful of people and healers have told me that my origin is angelic and there has been I know it, girl. I'm like I'm literally tearing up right now. I really don't know why that's happening, but, um, I think it's because I have been pure my whole life. You know, whether I've made pure decisions or not, um, there's been this purity and this light that just has beamed from inside of me and majority of my life. It's it's been deeply misunderstood and it's been. I'm sorry, guys, I really don't know why I'm crying. Um let it out. I think. I think it's just truth, right? Um majority of of my life it's been like people have wanting to contain it and, you know, box it down or shove it away or give it a pill or just like diagnose my Ignis and mine and my, the different way that I exist in this world, and so I think, on a really deep level, that has been my heart. I have such a big heart and I just want to love everybody. I mean my dad and my mom. They tell me all the time that I attract, that I attract, like they call it, stray dogs, like I'm always like gravitated towards the underdog, or the people that don't have love or aren't receiving love, because I want to give it to them. And then I think on you know, many levels when I need to realign, when there's triggers in my life or there's things going on that are pulling me out of that natural constitution. I have to go within, I have to close my eyes, or I have to go outside in nature and be held by her, and that's something that's a relationship that's really, really strengthened. For me this year is like just she is the true mother, like the first mother. It's not to. It's not to not give any credit to our human mothers, but why? Why do we call her mother nature? Because every time we go out to her and we commute excuse me, commune with her, she brings us back to life. She literally heals us without us having to do anything for her. And that's probably my. My deepest practices is stillness, nature and just being intentional with myself and listening to myself and asking myself what do I need to reconnect with my higher self? And when I have conversations like this, or before every single coaching call, whether it be at the beginning or right before, I set the intention to put my ego to the side so that I can be a conduit for source. And I truly feel, though these words are coming out of my mouth. They're not mine, they're the infinite wisdom that we are all connected to. It comes through us, it moves through us. We're just the conduit for it.

Speaker 1: 57:10

So beautifully said, like I just feel, I feel your love, just from even being like in this digital world and I just am so grateful for you and spreading your light and like just continuing like you just go like, and it's just so beautiful Just how you explain that. You're just such a beautiful example and. I'm grateful you're here.

Speaker 3: 57:34

Thank you. I'm grateful for this opportunity to be able to speak and to be heard. Thank you.

Speaker 1: 57:44

Let's have.

Speaker 2: 57:45

I love you. I was just going to say you have just such a special way at channeling. I feel like I was just telling Hannah before you got on. I was like, literally, when she speaks, I'm like from God's mouth to her mouth. I don't whatever that saying is, like you can just tap in in this incredible way and like obviously I have seen you do this in person on different topics and different, and one on one in groups like, and you just have, like I could boost your ego for hours. I know we're talking about ego to the side, because you are just so so so special.

Speaker 3: 58:40

Thank you, I appreciate it and maybe it is a gift and also it's like nature versus nurture, right? Who are we if we're not connected to a higher power, a higher source? I don't think you and I are just doing these. I don't think we're all just walking on this path just for ourselves. We're doing it because we've been guided to and activated to, and my work without that connection, my work without that deep, like reverence and intentional relationship that I have cultivated with God, source the universe, it's it. I can't take full credit for it, you know, and I think that's. I think we all have the ability to channel in this way, through intentionality. This brings up such a big, such a big thing, like you know, when you come back, when you go abroad and then come back, there's new reflections that you see every time right, and the reflection that's really been so loud and clear this year coming back to the States, is there is such lack of intention here. What you intend, consciously or unconsciously, what you intend comes into fruition, and so a lot of us are intending things unconsciously in the background of our mind and it's like creating this chaos and we're just doing the things that we think we're supposed to be doing and we're just living this deeply unconnected life, as opposed to, like. When I drink coffee, I intend what I want to feel for this. When I drink cacao, like you go to cacao ceremony or ayahuasca ceremony, I intend what I want to experience, that I try to do that throughout my day, every single day.

Speaker 1: 1:00:40

Enduring, just a question there. Enduring your experiences of doing that, like are you checking in? You know I have this intention to do this. And then like continually, continually anchoring back to like am I connecting with my intention there?

Speaker 3: 1:00:57

Well, I think once you intend something, so it is Right. So, for like today, I just wanted to intend truth, I wanted to intend authenticity and flow, you know, and I think once you set that intention, it organizes your energy in a way that you don't have to keep checking back in on it, right? I think if you're intending something for the new year and it's over like a broader period of time, yeah, you got to check back in with yourself, like is this intention, what's happening, what's coming through, what I'm also actively moving towards? Does that make sense? The differentiation Totally, totally.

Speaker 2: 1:01:45

I love that and so it is Like, if this is what I say, that I'm going for, like I'm calling that into my life and then I'm surrendering to it because the desire to over control it and constantly visit it, how we are taught to do with things like goals and visualizations and things it's like then you're just now in that, seeking energy. There you are, you're right back.

Speaker 3: 1:02:13

You're right back seeking so yeah, and I think, just like the deeper acceptance of knowing that that's also a part of life, and not beating yourself up for if you find yourself back in the seeking back in more of the fear based mindset, like the United States were surrounded by fear and were surrounded by consumerism, capitalism, fear mongering, you know. So just that's another massive, massive thing that integrated for me this year and thank you to the one of the soulmates that I met this year. He helped me with this was just being more compassionate with myself and not judging myself if I am to regress back to an old pattern or something comes up where I revert, just being like, okay, so like, if I can be not non judgmental to you and to you and to everybody that I meet, no matter where they're at in life, I need to give myself that, because this is just an evolution of our consciousness. That's all it is really.

Speaker 2: 1:03:29

I love that. That is. That's such a good like rap of 2023. You know, like, how can I drop into more compassion with myself? How can I, like I had in 2023, this idea of like, what if I treated myself like I treat my best friend? What if I treated myself internally like I would treat Hannah, coming to me with, you know, a challenge, a problem like whoa? Well, that would be really a totally different vibe, you know, like, if I could respond to myself in that same kind of gentleness that I desire to treat other people with. So, yeah, the pattern, like we go back, we're human. You know like, even as we're on our spiritual evolution, it's like we are human. We get in sticky situations, we go back to old shit and like that's okay too, and that is surrender to me, like dropping into that. I surrender to whatever comes up if I go back to an old pattern, shit I was meant to. So there we are. Yes, there we are, and so it is.

Speaker 1: 1:04:44

So it is yes.

Speaker 2: 1:04:46

This is amazing. What do you want to leave the people with Danny? What do you? What's your, what's your closing?

Speaker 3: 1:05:00

A couple things, just the last little thing around, what I, what I learned over this last year, and obviously we're just scraping the surface, but realizing also that things are not going to show up, things that you're intending or desiring, they're not going to show up Number one on your, your timeline, they're not going to show up on your timeline. You're not going to show up in the exact shape and form in which you were thinking and, in order for it to show up, you will be brought through an initiatory process in order to receive it if you're not in vibrational alignment, like. The retreat is a huge example for that. Everything that I had to go through in order to make it happen like canceling, moving it back, moving it back again and, by the way, sarah was the first one to sign up when, when I like started putting it out there, she's like signed up. She, she stayed with me through all the bullshit, like all of the bullshit.

Speaker 1: 1:06:03

So right or die?

Speaker 3: 1:06:04

She was right.

Speaker 1: 1:06:04

She, I am you believe in me.

Speaker 3: 1:06:06

I'm like it's moved.

Speaker 2: 1:06:09

You saw the vision Great, better for my schedule, great.

Speaker 3: 1:06:14

That's the attitude, though Right, that's the attitude that we need to have is like, okay, great, it wasn't meant to be. Right, yeah, it's like the deepening into the release, the letting go of control, because we're not inevitably, inevitably in control. We can do what we need to do to get there, but if the outcome is not meant for us, it's not going to happen. So, I think, remembering that and, you know, reminding people also, like I do travel, I'm a digital nomad, so I've lived in a few countries over the last year and a half and that that creates so much wisdom, that, like you, cultivate and just being able to work with shamans and tribes in Columbia, in Mexico, like, oh my God, what I want to leave with this, telling you kind of guys, telling you guys what I'm doing, moving forward over the next couple of months, and I'm going to be I'm going to Columbia, back to Columbia. In a week I'm going to be living in this beautiful home, at this mountain it's a naturally formed pyramid, like a massive pyramid, but a mountain in outside of Medellin, in Cerro Tusa, that's the name of it and I'm going to be facilitating there for a month and then after that. So if you guys are interested in joining, let me know. Let me know. After that, I spent a few days in Medellin, which is like just it feels so much like home. I really, really recommend people go out to Medellin. It's like, oh my God, it's life changing. After that, holy shit, I'm still processing the fact that I signed up for this, like I'm literally sweating right now thinking about the adventure that this is going to be. I signed up for an ayahuasca retreat in the Amazon rainforest with the Yawanawa tribe.

Speaker 2: 1:08:17

Okay, we're having you on after, like what.

Speaker 3: 1:08:20

We got it here. I literally am like I'm, I'm, I'm excited right now because it's it's like a 10 hour flight to Brazil, yeah, and then another, so it's like you're going from Colombia, from the West, to the East, but then you have to go back to another airport that's closer to the Amazon, because the Amazon's like more essential, right, and then we get on an eight hour boat ride. Eight hour boat ride on the Amazon River, Wow.

Speaker 1: 1:08:49

Into the.

Speaker 2: 1:08:50

Amazon.

Speaker 1: 1:08:55

That's insane, I don't want to do it like that.

Speaker 2: 1:09:00

Yeah, yeah, amen.

Speaker 3: 1:09:01

That's so true, I think it's easier to get to if you go the Peru route. But the Yawanawa they're a very well known tribe and you know I did it in Colombia in March and it was different, right. And so I'm going to be like literally living with the tribe, doing rituals, doing ceremonies also doing a couple of ayahuasca ceremonies for eight days. So I'm excited to bring that medicine to everybody and you know, I'm taking on more one to one clients and also I'm creating containers for online community, because I feel like we're lacking that support like we have here consistently. So I'm creating those online containers for co-ed and then for women only, and I'm really excited about that too. Yes, oh my God.

Speaker 1: 1:10:00

So much goodness yes.

Speaker 3: 1:10:02

Craziness, lots of craziness.

Speaker 2: 1:10:04

I cannot even believe the transformation that is going to come from the like. Oh my God, girl, it's going to be wild. It's going to be epic.

Speaker 3: 1:10:15

Yeah, it is, and I think that's a little bit of what the anxiety comes from is. I know that I'm going to be forever changed after this experience. Yes, and even just teaching at the retreat for four weeks, I know that's going to bring so much growth as well. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, my last little nugget of wisdom would be Let me just feel into this for a second. Don't be afraid to let go. I think 2024, the collective energy is. It's about letting go of the grip that you have on things that are not working in your life and in your personality and in whatever piece of you, and starting to, even if there's still fear there, cultivate the courage to start following your heart, because your heart is not what leads you astray. Your mind is what leads you astray. Drop into your heart. Ask yourself what have I been sleeping on? What have I been waiting to go after in my life that I'm ready to finally experience? Ask yourself that and stop waiting. Make the moves. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven eight make the moves. 2024 is our year, baby.

Speaker 2: 1:11:48

Yes.

Speaker 1: 1:11:49

You record it here first, y'all Go after it.

Speaker 2: 1:11:54

Oh my gosh, we love you so much.

Speaker 1: 1:11:56

Thank you.

Speaker 2: 1:11:58

We will drop all of where to find you in our show notes and See that. How'd you Wait? What is happening? Does that happen? If I do Not, if I?

Speaker 1: 1:12:12

do. Why did that?

Speaker 2: 1:12:13

happen, oh my.

Speaker 1: 1:12:14

God, that's so cute.

Speaker 3: 1:12:18
