God is not judging your desires.

Hello Love,
 
Today I have some insight about LONGING. (I’m a 4 on the Enneagram and have Libra Rising… we like to lonnnng.)
I used to believe that my unmet longings were a punishment. 
 
That’s a very heavy perspective on life. I don’t recommend it.

My longings created a “small-self loneliness.” Small-self loneliness is self pity mixed with self sabotage. And it’s a very human experience but we’re meant to outgrow it.
 
I learned how to properly grieve for career paths, friendships, partnerships and children I wouldn’t be having. 
 
Grieving for unmet longings woke me up to how amazing my life is—even with all the punctuations of pain and long term shitty challenges.

The grief brought me closer to being alive.

So then my small-self loneliness evolved into Holy Aloneness. 
 
This is what the philosopher Plotinus calls, “the mystic’s ascent, the flight of the alone to the Alone.” When you touch the ONENESS of life. My philosopher honey, Krishnamurti, often talked about Aloneness as freedom from social conditioning.
 
For me, I see myself standing in the center of my own mandala. Alone but connected to… everything.
 
On days when I was low on resources, I’d still wonder if my unmet longings were a punishment for unresolved karma. Or was there something I was missing in the manifestation thing? Maybe… oh God, maybe I was longing for the wrong things? Could that be? Were my golden eggs not mine to hatch?
I considered letting go of all my visions—going hardcore Zen Nun and wanting for nothing. (That’s ironically ambitious.) And I did some paring down in terms of the “must have’s” in my life. But mostly… eventually…
 
I decided to let go of the fear that God was judging me for what I desired. It just doesn’t work that way. The experiences I’ve had with The Light, with touching Oneness are completely free of judgment energy. It’s all spaciousness and gorgeous freewill, riding on the fabric of infinite Love.
 
I decided to love my longings.
 
And that’s the joy I’d been longing for all along.
 
I hope you give that to yourself.
 
Holding hands,
FOR THE QUEENS READY TO PARTNER…
My beloved friend, Christine Hassler and her hot hubs, Stef are offering a 3 month program, called Be The Queen—for the woman who knows what she wants in love but hasn’t found it yet.
 
As you know, I only promote other people’s courses… almost never. So when I promo, my heart is all in.
 
Christine is a spiritual psychologist and master level coach.
 
She’s helped me fly in all things romance and relationships. We rode the bus together in Egypt, laughing about how we use to make ridiculous compromises in relationships, but the great sex kinda made it worth it. Only kinda. 😛
 
Christine was at my wedding, and on speed dial during divorce. She is reminding me now of what’s possible in my next relationship. She is a real deal, psyche-informed guide and I trust she can hold space for your desires.
 
I wish you love. You will be in good hands with Christine and Stef. xo

How I speak to robots (matters.)

If everything is energy—which it is… then it actually matters how you speak to AI and all the tech-bots. 
 
I had a friend who let her kids trash talk to Alexa. They were allowed to use curse words they couldn’t say to anyone else. They giggled, it seemed like a silly game. Harmless. I was slightly horrified. (Also, I think Alexa is just another surveillance and tracking device. I suggest you unplug it, put it in your driveway, and drive over it. 🙂) But back to moral codes…
 
Golden rule: Do unto others as you would have done to you. Or, don’t be an assh*le when no one is looking (pretty sure that’s the definition of integrity.) Which should include don’t be an ass to robots. Beeeecause….
 
Everything is energy. That’s a natural law of physics. 
 
Because words carry vibrations and leave magnetic imprints in your energy field. 
 
And because, yes, we are training the algorithm. Do I think the ‘bots will become sentient any day soon? No, I don’t. Sentiency requires a nervous system and a Soul.
 
But back to energy integrity: Be yourself everywhere you are.
 
I’m summin’ it up here. 

I’m on a mission to end all the Mercury Retrograde fear messaging. It’s not helpful. What IS helpful is knowing how to use it to clean things up and go deeper into your personal practice.
 
We’re in Mercury Retrograde shadow right now. What’s that mean? I’m going to tell you!
 
I’m doing a free class this Sunday, October 18. Please come!

OCTOBER 7, 2026

Inflation. And I’d love your opinion, please.


Hello, love,
 
I went to my favourite pie shop in Vancouver this weekend. It’s legendary but not fancy, a wholesome community staple. Guess how much a 10 inch lemon meringue pie is? 
 
$71 Canadian. Seventy-one-dollars.
 
I wanted to cry. The inflation dagger pierced my heart. I felt flooded with… societal sadness. (BTW, my pie shop buys fully organic from local farms, and pays fair wages. I think this may actually be what it takes to make a profit margin.) 
 
I thought about the baby formula at my local drug store that’s kept in a locked case because it’s expensive. If I was a bottle-feeding mama on minimum wage, it’d be the first thing I’d lift. Wouldn’t think twice.
 
Pivot: Influencer launches doing millions in a weekend. I noticed a trend where content creators are spoofing people on a “budget” because they don’t relate to having to be on a “budget.”
 
Trillionaires with the capacity to end hunger and ensure humanity has clean drinking water and health care. But nope. Let’s build robots and go to Mars.
 
It’s madness. And to name what’s going on as madness is sanity.
 
Okay, my rant on inflation may or may not be relevant to the questions I’m about to ask you. But somehow it’s all connected. Because I’m interested in depth, accessibility. And knowing how we’re all doing.
 
DEEPER RELATING. I NEED YOUR OPINIONS, PLEASE.
 
Preface: I am *not* at a crossroads in my career or life. I have zero desire to go on sabbatical. I am not lost. I am not burned out. I am not fearless, but I’m not afraid of much. I’m not dissuaded by AI or algorithms (the algo pisses me off, but it doesn’t stop me from creating with integrity.)
 
In the last few months I’ve started inviting readers to just hit reply to these emails. It’s been amazing. I read every one. I always cry. I tense up a bit. I relax. I feel hopeful about humanity. I feel so blessed to…be alive, really.
 
Online learning is changing. But spiritual practice is timeless. Some of us are struggling with dollars or quiet depressions. Some of us are experiencing more abundance.
May I ask: What’s most helpful for your life and work—from me?
And how do you take-in this “content?”
I’m considering creating…. 
 
Monthly audiobooks, super reasonably priced. My podcast will be back in the New Year! I want to help people in emotional pain. And I’d also love to throw DOWN on more esoterica for those of us who are here for deeper devotion. Planners are a power tool and those are rocking. I do pricey one-on-one sessions with entrepreneurs. I’m going to be doing in-person events next year.
 
I rarely survey people (which I think has been a mistake.) 
 
Help me. Help you. Help us… help the galaxy!
 
✍ Please just hit reply and tell me anything that’s been useful, what you want more of, what doesn’t work for you about all this online self help stuff.
 

✅ Or… here’s a handy survey and you can just click-click.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2026

How to extract your energy ​from the painful past.

Extract your energy ​from the painful past.

This is the most powerful, creative, ENERGIZING, stabilizing move that you can make in your life.
 
Yes there is pain to heal in present-tense. 
 
Past events create emotions that circulate in our minds and energy field. We have to tend to those emotions with total compassion—the fear, anxiety, grief that are the results of what happened… give those energies all grace and good care.
 
But as for the memories of the stressful events…
the mental replays of the incidents… 
the rumination on the suffering that is robbing you of creating life force… we can break the habitual recall.
 
​I​f your past ​i​s haunting you, ​walk in the other direction.
 
​Starve the hungry ghost so that the ghost can cross over and find peace.


Here’s how to extract your energy ​from the past: 

  1. Understand that conflict ​f​eeds on attention. ​When we feed the painful past with our attention, we are not healing. (And yes this may have us question the merits of some types of ongoing talk therapy and other psycho-spiritual modalities.)
     
  2. When the painful past memory surfaces:

    a. Do NOT criticize yourself for thinking about it. We just lovingly notice, “I’m thinking about that incident.” Then…

    b. THINK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE—SOMETHING UP-LIFTING.

    I repeat: think about something else that’s uplifting energizing. Something beautiful, comforting, positively energizing. Hum if you need to. Notice what’s in the room you’re sitting in. Think of anything else (positive) to extract your energy from the past. Think about the future if that helps.

    Interrupt the painful inner dialogue mid-sentence. You may feel like you’re being rude to your wounded, or pissed-off self. This is not cruelty. This is leadership.

    ^^^ This is spiritual warriorship and mind-training and the path to liberation. This is Queen + King consciousness.

    ^^^ This is how we use our mind to clear up karma and dissolve habituated thinking. Every time we extract our energy ​from the past, we are un-dulling the mind. Everytime you think about something that is *not the past* you are becoming more conscious and creative.

    ^^^ This is the life changing, creative power of CHANGING YOUR MIND.

A handy visual: It’s as if the past is a fire and you’re deciding not to add more wood on the fire. Don’t add the thought… the wood to the fire of the painful past. Then the pain calms down.

This we know: Energy flows where your attention goes.
 
You don’t have to​ play the same game over and over. (Unless you want to—the mind and the Inner Child find replaying pain familiar and comforting. You need to help them heal.)
 
You do NOT have to recapitulate or review your past in order to make progress.
 
Celebrate knowing better. That’s it. The victory is that you know better now! You’ve moved on. You’re here now.
 
You can make decisions from Presence. 
 
Don’t have meltdowns and fights with old memories. It’s a waste of energy.
 
When you extract your energy from the past you will be forming new neural pathways. There’s a heap of research to prove this. And those NEW neural pathways ​will transform how you think, ​what you say, how you move​ through the world.
K, quick review to sum up centuries of mortal coil and enlightenment teachings:
 
When a painful past memory surfaces, whatchya gonna do?
 
Think about something else that’s uplifting. 
 
And what’s going to happen?
 
Something better.
 
 
I love you,
NEW TEACHING
I’ve got a really cool class this month!
 
FLOWERS, FIRE + WATER: Bathing recipes and other rituals for healing. This is core to my own spiritual practice and I have 9 new bathing recipes for you.
 
The Flowers, Fire + Water Kit (and a training with me) is free when you buy a Centered Planner! Plan and bathe, babes.
 
Questions? We love them: support@daniellelaporte.com

You do not have to take care of your Soul

Sweet friend,
 
I have a reframe that might be comforting and empowering. It has to do with our Souls, your Soul. 
 
It’s this:
 
You do not take care of your Soul.
Your Soul takes care of you.
 
There’s no “hole in your Soul.” That rhymes, it’s a great lyric. But your Soul cannot be wounded, hurt, bothered, destroyed, harmed, confused, or annihilated.
 
The personality—a construct of the mind—is what perceives itself to be hurt, bothered, separate, etc…
 
The Soul is VAST. Eternal. It’s the source point. It permeates all space and time.
 
Every wisdom tradition has distinct but interchangeable terms for Soul:
 
Higher Self. Higher Consciousness. Witness Consciousness. Christ Consciousness. Buddha Nature. God Self. Divine Self. Heart. Atman. Pure Awareness. Prana. Chi. Ka. True Nature. Inner Most Light…
 
You do not take care of your Soul.
 
Your Soul takes care of you.
 
With Love,

13 QUESTIONS FOR DEEPER SELF HONESTY (and an invite)

Sweet Friend,

The relationship we have with ourselves directs the quality of our entire lives. In every department. Always. And YET, even with all the talk therapy, we might not see how we are relating to ourselves.

You could do a rapid fire and see what pops up (first thoughts can tell us a lot.) Or you could unpack one a day, savoured. I’ve got a lot of flights coming up, so I’ve put the questions on my phone and I’m going to journal on the plane.

NOTE: These questions are asking HOW YOU THINK OR ACT—not *why* you think or act in certain ways.

For example, with the questions “How do you hate yourself?” and “How do you love yourself?”… you’re not writing about the reasons that you hate or love yourself. You’re noticing the ways you think, speak, act out your self hatred and self love. Don’t get pulled into analyzing why you do what you do—just witness, with compassion. You’re making BEHAVIOUR OBSERVATIONS.

13 QUESTIONS FOR DEEPER SELF HONESTY

Everything is open to your interpretation.

1. How do you respect yourself?

2. How do you honour yourself?

3. How do you intentionally embrace the shadowy aspects of yourself?

4. How do you love yourself?

5. How do you hate yourself?

6. How do you berate yourself?

7. How do you let yourself down?

8. How do you qualify success and failure?

9. What virtues + values do you emphasize in yourself?

10. What qualities do you embody?

11. Do your thoughts, words and actions match each other?

12. How many ways do you harm yourself?

13. What old, habitual tendencies are you willing to dissolve?

You’re invited to…

PUBLISH—an insider session for content creators + marketers of all kinds

My second favorite thing is helping people figure out how to communicate for a living. Writing. Publishing. Not publishing. Repurposing. Your programs. Your karma. The deals. The fine print. The AI. Your why. The how. I have so much to teach you.

Social media rage and judgement.
But like, loving about it. 😂

Loves,

If I asked 10 of my friends who are creating content as part of their business—some who are making millions in revenue, some of whom are laying off staff… most (not all) of them would say they are exhausted by the game. Pooped right out of the hustle.

Our DMs and vms sound like this:

FAWK THE ALGO. What the f*ck is happening to my following?
I’m soooo tired of posting. It’s so noisy.
I just want to make my stuff. I make gooooood stuff.
Please buy my gooood stuff. It’s good for you.

THERE ARE 3 KINDS OF CREATORS WHO ARE ONLINE

(This may be an over generalization.)

1. Creators who make on and off-line offerings—books, products, art of many forms, courses, retreats, things you can attend or things you can own and hold. These are Creators who have to create content in order to sell their creation.

They use social media to inspire and sell, sell and inspire. It’s a siege-like, unending cycle. They really wish a publisher or retailer would give them a fair profit share and do the heavy lifting for them of marketing and distribution. Or a juggernaut celeb would share their stuff and the orders would fly in.

This longing is mostly nostalgic and naïve.

2. Creators who create content to monetize the content. The family accounts, the couples giving advice, the make-up tutorials. The proverbial influencer. They get their followings up and they get sponsors and affiliate kick backs. They inform, inspire, or entertain, and they get paid.

AI is threatening these kinds of content creators because the robot can out-fake and out-produce them.

One of my friends in the wellness space—a reputable medical professional, says that they’re getting approached by more brands to sponsor them, because the brands are seeing that consumers are less trusting of “influencers.” People want to buy from real people with earned authority and cred.

3. People who have turned their personal lives into content for visibility and connection. I’m really concerned about this way of life. The sad irony here is that the addiction to performative relating is preventing the genuine connection that we all crave.

4. And a subcategory (I am not worried for these folks,) people who are sharing their lives with an online community because it’s a fun way to connect—and that’s the beauty of the global nervous system that we call the internet.

I write. I make a planner system you can hold. I teach within community. Instagram etc etc etc helps my team and me make a living and be philanthropic when it’s all gliding. I love the connectivity. I feel useful. It keeps me in touch with my community. I love eating up the beauty that I’m exposed to.

And! Social media makes my authority issues rage. Because the algorithm is a manipulative, controlling, muthr fkr of greed and propaganda.

How to stay sane in the social media circus?

There’s one question I ask of everything:

What’s the energy in this?

That’s it.

It’s ALL ENERGY WORK, MY FRIENDS!

You can feel if you’re being manipulated. You can smell desperation.

And you relax and lean in when there’s loving intention.

The complexity is not robots and fake followers. It’s that we all have mixed motivations. We are all serving up a cocktail of energies.

We’re serving and we’re selling. We’re healing and we’re profiting. We want to be noticed, and we want to be supportive.

Stay gentle AND discerning.

See it all with the eyes of love, babe. The eyes of love.

Because…

WE ARE ALL CRAVING TO BE SEEN, HEARD AND LOVED.

No exceptions. The writers. The preachers. The eyeshadow experts and the activists.

And I hope you’ll buy my planner—because it’s good for you.

WITH LOVE,

IT’S EQUINOX THIS MONTH!

The danger of neutrality, and some road trip protest songs

Hello friend,
 
I’m just back from Nashville for business, and a road trip with my kid in Quebec into Ontario. 
 
Harper and I were peeling down the 401 in his pickup, talking about how a mold outbreak in his apartment turned out to be a blessing. (Note: mold in two of my homes did me dirty, and it took me 3 years to get my health back, so this is a hot topic.) 
 
Because of the health hazard, Harper was able to get out of a year-long lease on the same day that he found a rad pad three times the size, in a great neighbourhood, for only $30 more a month. 
 
“Thank f*ck for the mold!” Yes.
Which got us critiquing the old story about the farmer and his “good luck/bad luck.” 
 
Do you know this one?:
An old farmer’s horse runs away, so Farmer can’t work his crops any longer. The neighbors say: “Such bad luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
 
The horse comes back, bringing with it three wild horses. The neighbors say, “Such good luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
 
The farmer’s son gets thrown off one of the horses and breaks his leg. The neighbors say, “Such bad luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
 
Soon after, the army comes to conscript young village men for war. Because of his broken leg, the son got passed over. The neighbors say, “Such good luck!” The farmer says, “Maybe.”
Obviously, this is a lesson in neutrality and detachment—both of which are healthy human behaviours the world could use more of.
 
But… this story always left me anxious about when the good luck might turn into bad luck. I think, ultimately, Mr. Farmer missed a big op for joy.

Impartiality is the opposite of passion.
I choose passion.

The “could be good, could be bad,” posture stops us from craning to find the beauty. In my experience, the beauty is always there, and having to dig for it is radiance-building.
 
The “could be good, could be bad,” approach can trigger fear and tamp down happiness.
 
Could it all go south? Possibly. Is it all fun? No. 
 
But…
 
Is it ALL Divine? YES—if you dig deep enough.
 
Is it all Divine no matter what? YES—if you dig deep enough.
 
Even the worst stuff? YES—if you dig deep enough.
 
The dig to find the Divine is the transmutational act. It can take years to tap gold. But it’s ever present.
 
This is the teaching of all mystics: that the function of suffering is to return us to the ecstacy of the Divine.
 
The “could be good, could be bad” thought form can delay the ecstasy available to us.
 
……
 
I’ve tried to neutralize my longings for sacred union and unfleeting beauty. It didn’t work. I relent to passion.
 
I want to dig deep enough to find the Light. Every time, no matter what.
 
……
 
So when the love runs away, or the toxins spread; when anxiety flares, or the fire takes it all, whatchya gonna do?
 
Dig deep enough to find the Divinity in it—the beauty, the possible utility. Do it as soon as you can. You can train your mind to respond like this, without hesitation.
 
Go full on beauty hound.
 
When the crops cash in, when the love comes, when the Joy is revealed—immediately and passionately appreciate it. None of this “Could be good, could be bad,” slightly hedgy prognosticative cool stuff.
 
Practice decisive passion over impartiality.
 
It’s the choice to let the “bad” be of benefit—even when it’s not apparent. And to let the good be incredible.
TUNES
 

When it comes to road trip music, we play to win. Kendrick Lamar, Steve Lacey and Meat Puppets made an appearance, but these are mama-endorsed for singing with all you’ve got:

1. Jesse Wells, Masks Off — best protest album in a long time
2. Daniel Caesar, Best Part (featuring H.E.R.) — sexiest sexy
3. The Wood Brothers, Sing About It — “sing and it passes”
4. The Tragically Hip, Bobcageon — if you’re Canadian, you know
5. Glen Hansard, Love Don’t Leave Me Waiting — troubadour supreme

GET ENERGIZED
 
Centered Planners are in the shop now! I know, it’s AUGUST. But once you get your planner, I bring you into an ecosystem of support and fun intel. Energetics of the week, planning with the planets…so good. SEE THE SHOP.

AUGUST 14, 2026

Emotions + Detoxing

Hello, Love.
 
Today I want to talk about:
 
a) losing your identity in order to find out who you truly are.
b) following my intuition + an invite to be a Planner VIP this Sunday.
 
NOT BEING ABLE TO BE YOURSELF SO THAT YOU CAN, CONSEQUENTLY, COME BACK TO YOURSELF
 
The spiritual path is a home coming—doors within doors leading us to our truer and truer self. The doorways become more narrow as we progress. We have to keep shedding so we can fit through each portal—stripped down of stuff and identities. 
 
The re-shaping can happen from the process of failure and fakery. From being denied what we want the most. From becoming the opposite of who we naturally are. 
 
You know the process—when you escape, molt, then rise in your liberation and look back and think, “What WAS I thinking?”
 
And YET! The what-who that we get back to was always there in this very lifetime. Life keeps us from our essence and then returns us to it. We’re all prodigal children being welcomed back, getting to be who we are.

So today’s question:
Who were you 
before you left yourself?

Okay, pivot!
 
PERSONAL update on the release of the Centered Planners… this Sunday, August 16 I’m doing a VIP launch. 52,000 people are on the list and that’s thrilling for obvious reasons. 
 
But it’s deeper than sales. I’ve always said that the Planner system is my most useful offering. Because it’s a support system for DAILY DEVOTION. Books and classes are like solar flares—they bring flashes of insight. But the planners are like a campfire that keeps you warm every day.
 
I stopped doing the planner a few years ago because my intuition told me to. My team thought I was losing my mind. Planners were a big part of our business. But I had a feeling. “Something doesn’t feel right anymore, we have to pause.”
 
That was the 2020 edition. Remember what happened to the world in 2020? Whacky town. Global supply chain disruptions. Shipping containers stuck on the ocean for months. If I would have printed planners that year, we would have had thousands of “spoiled” planners adrift. NOT making them saved my business. Intuition FTW.
 
I refined the planner system, revived my collaboration with painter, Marta Spendowska, and it all rolls out on Sunday!
 
MORE USEFUL AND BEAUTIFUL than ever.
Please click here to get on the VIP list and we’ll send you a pop up link tomorrow. I’m doing a gift day for 24 hours—you get a stationery pack—my truthbomb cards, in print, old school, with every planner order! There’s a lot of revival happening!
 
I’ll drop the planner features in at the bottom of this email. 
 
This system helps me orchestrate my life + work. I love it and I really hope you give it a go. There’s nothing else out there like this.
 
Ok, love. Remember: all journeys are leading home—INWARD. To your original essence. The Eternal Hello.
 
And VIP list is HERE and full of goodness for you.
 
WITH LOVE,

AUGUST 7, 2026

Your unmet longings are not a punishment.

Hi, Love…
 
At the end of interviews people often get asked, “What’s the one message you have for the world?” No pressure. 
 
I used to inner eye-roll at this question. But I just nailed my winning answer and now I hope I get asked in the next interview and the next.
 
Here’s my billboard to humanity:

Your unmet longings are not a punishment.

Darling… your unmet longings are not a punishment.
 
Our unmet longings are many things. Divine delays. Dares. Beautiful karma. Eggs. Seedlings.
 
But… and…
 
Do not abandon your longings without understanding them.
 
(That could be my back up billboard to humanity.)
 
You know, I’ve been analyzing the nature of desire for a long time. And I’ve had deep struggles with monk-considerations, house holder life, Netflix and chillin’, loving hot love, abundance, the lonelies, the scriptures, the cleansing, the dancing, the down dogs, and all the training I’ve done to circumnavigate downward spirals.
 
But I’ve recently slipped out of whatever that portal was—let’s call it my former frame of consciousness. Just like a baby after a three-year labour. Like Neo getting ejected from his goo pod of illusion.
And here’s what I got: Joy down in my Soul.
 
And I no longer see my unmet longings—of which there are a sacred few—as a punishment, as a withholding that a darker side of life was able to enforce.
 
But compassion for our human desires is what makes this life holy. 
 
I’ve come right ‘round to cherishing my desires with a fierce grace.
 
I’m on Team William Blake:
 
“Those who restrain their desire do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.”
 
We are the living proof that Love is actually unstoppable. 
 
With Love,
NEW, HOT AND INCOMING
 
I have all new gorgeous designs for the 2027 Centered Planner Collection coming THIS WEEKEND. And VIPs are getting lavished with papery gifts this year. And this planner system is where soulful meets utility. So…
 
 
…and you’ll be the first to see the big reveal this Sunday. Swoon day.
 
The Centered Planner. Every day is sacred.
