In Episode 7 Danielle is inspired by a conversation with a childhood friend named Chris who is training for a race called the Sinister 7.
Their exchange sparked Danielle to recall her experience with Landmark's Advanced Course where she uncovered some valuable, life-changing truths about herself.
She touches on her appreciation of true connection through presence, and the importance of giving yourself grace and permission to nourish your own energy first.
Danielle invites listeners to reflect upon the joy of the unanticipated gifts that come from saying yes to an invitation, a new activity or experience.
She reminds listeners that the outcome is often not at all what we believed it would be; many times it is far more fulfilling than we could've ever imagined.
Danielle shares the challenges of the past week and how she has learned to honour her needs more and more.
She reminds listeners to replenish their energy and care for themselves, and celebrates truly nourishing herself in a variety of ways.
She invites listeners to pause and recall all of the joys of the past week, a practice that can be used daily to remind the brain that amidst life's challenges, good things are also happening.
Danielle expresses her thankfulness for Don Wensrich at Renewal Wellness Centre after the most intensely healing acupuncture session she has had in over two and a half years.
She welcomes listeners to cheer on Chris in his upcoming race Go Chris Go!!! and to celebrate themselves, as they discover more about who they truly are, and learn to extend more and more loving kindness and compassion to themselves, and others.
