Friends,
First: gratitude. Thank you for hanging out and listening to LIGHT WORK. The response continues to be... surprisingly amazing. Iâm going to make so much more for you â and thatâs the first announcement: New podcast!! For you. All the love. This summer.
In the meantime, thereâs this for you... announcement #2: Iâve got a new conversation out that I had with one of my dearest friends, Jeff Krasno (co-founder of Wanderlust and Commune).
This is the first time I've publicly spoken about the "living death" I experienced in the Fall of 2018. I went to the darkest place of my being â panic attacks, identity crisis, loss, disillusionment and⊠incredible awe. GRACE. I'm still mining it, and will be sharing the gold for years to come.
Itâs one of the most psychologically intimate conversations I've recorded. My hope is to shed light on the pain that we all experience to varying degrees, so that we can heal together. Togetherness is powerful medicine.

Friends, this is the last episode of the podcast. And, of course, itâs devoted to one of my favourites: Devotion. Weâre shining light on our prayers, our beliefs, our teachers⊠and whether theyâre actually getting us closer to what we really wantâliberation. Weâre talking about the real work of light work. There are some doozer questions to chew on in this ep: Do your beliefs liberate you? Because if we donât feel free⊠whatâs the point? What are the âdevotion flagsâ that you fly without shame? What can we do to un-believe the things that tie us down? How important is it to know about our past lives? How do we tell posers from true spiritual teachers? And how can you feel gratitude (instead of beating yourself up) if youâve ever fallen for a charlatan? #beenthere

Revolutionaries, This episode is about our personal activism. Iâm talking about how we can get justice, without incurring too much karma. About how to fight corruption without the anger burning us out. About the importance of being inclusiveâto even the bad guys. Iâm talking about how to be a revolutionary for just love. Hereâs the trip: Where do we even start? (When the world is so messed up, and weâre feeling messed up because of it.) Why we have to resist going numb. Numbness leads to disconnection. Hopelessness is as common as violence. Think about that for a minute. The difference between anger and rage, and why we shouldnât dismiss or repress the latter. My perspective on evil, and the value of having compassion for EVERYONE, like, on a Soul levelââbut still working for justice. Tune in here: DANIELLELAPORTE.COM/PODCAST

If God is in the details, then the Soul is in a good Q&A. And thatâs the substance of Podcast #4: Beliefs, Movies & Man Crushes. Your questions make it so easy for me to rant and offer some (hopefully) useful how-toâs and tricks of the trade. The âtradeâ being discernment and devotion. Itâs deep, itâs lite, I hope itâs all right: Have I ever Feng Shuiâed my house? The short answer: yes. The cliffhanger: no, not anymore. What brings back my energy when Iâm in my darkest hour? (I take my own medicine.) Who are my celebrity crushes? Favourite movies? Favourite tea? In between swooning, I manage to break down some romance wisdom. Why donât I talk about my parents? I do now. What's my take on the narcissistic vs. empath dynamic? Oh darling⊠When did I know I âarrivedâ? (Still getting there.)

I've talked to rabbis, priests, monks, and people who I consider to be high esoteric practitioners. Iâve figured out a few things about joy⊠and woven them into this weekâs episode. Listen in for:
Should you leave your soul-dulling job and follow your joy to France? (Maybe.) Iâve got some ideas on HOW to buck fear and obligation. The difference between happiness and joy, and a story from my divorce about the first time that I really understood the truth about joy. Are you addicted to longing? Waking up to the corruption and addiction in our own psyches, community, and society. Starting to make more holistic choices. Moving towards joy: Two questions to help you remove the debris, and create more space for light to move in. The 3 kinds of âhappy livesâ, Sensitive New Age Guys, Flow Boys⊠And finally: Living in joy without feeling like youâre betraying your (or anyone elseâs) pain. Shedding the achievement, possessing, having, striving ways to be âhappyâ and focusing on one way to be joyfulâto serve. -
No tip-toeing in this episode: I deep dive into the unfathomable, beautiful lessons we may learn from pain⊠without falling for the New Age speak that would have us gloss over real suffering. Also in this EP: The 3 types of suffering (knowing what youâre experiencing is key to liberation) Everyday sufferingâthe slog, the general malaise, the greyness. Interconnected sufferingâthe feeling a lot of us have because of the agony in the world. Brutal tragedy-type sufferingâseemingly insurmountable circumstances, violations, and losses. How some New Age perspectives on suffering utterly fail us, invalidate us and keep us from liberation. My damn the man retelling of the Princess and the Pea story that illustrates how to keep moving forward, when the day-to-day takes it out of you.

Light Makers, I finally did it. Made a podcast. This was creatively edgy for me. Because itâs... just me... sitting in my podcast closet (it really is a closet), waxing philosophical for about an hour. There was a distinctly different feel about this creative venture like feeling EXPOSED. But, deep breath and a great back beat, thanks to my friends DJ Drez + Marti Nikko, and here we go! The LIGHT WORK series will unfold over six episodes. These are girlfriend-style sermons on serving the world while staying sane, cosmic connectedness over tech addiction, self compassion and more fulfilling friendships. Poetry. Hilarity. Peeks into the personal. The podcastâand my upcoming LIGHTER year-long âSoul supportâ programâis intimate with plenty of esoteric talk. For more, visit: DANIELLELAPORTE.COM/LIGHTWORK
