A personal update š
WITH LOVE: challenges + rising from the last 3 years.
Hello Love,
Iāve been making it clear on socials that all of my communication is actually from me, not AI. I hope it goes without saying in this space, but⦠if it has my name on it, I wrote it, approved it, blessed it.
Iām going to give you a more personal update than usual. Everything is ultimately good. But itās been a bumpy year. Actually, a bumpy three years.



Let me start with the karmic and planetary scoop. Last year, I decided that I wanted to find an astrologer that I could consult with regularly, since my cherished astrologer went on sabbatical.
I had readings with three different astro advisors. Every one of them started our session by saying, āWow, itās been a hard three years for you.ā
And I was like⦠Iām good! Iām resilient! I learned a lot!
But, ya. I stacked it all up. A new marriage and a divorce within 3 yearsāloving but heartbreaking, of course. I moved homes three times (to be by the ocean, then to get away from mold, then a forced renovation.)
There was health stuff from the mold and metals poisoningāI had so many IVs that my veins started closing down.
Within all of this, Iāve been rebuilding my business.
I wanted to go deeper creatively, spiritually⦠so decided to restructure everything. At the same time, we lost a massive number of our subscriber list from a tech mishap (it was about 100,000 people, which took about 10 years to nurtureāwhich is potentially devastating for an online business.) We recovered. There have been significant comings and goings on my team, which is always graceful but never easy.
Then there was an arduous AF adventure with a Silicon Valley software developer and the stress circus that is the venture capital scene. We set out to build the Centering appāa new operating system for spiritual devotion, andā¦
things got slightly litigious. I cleaned out my savings to weather it all. Then I took the advice of two wisened, exited female tech-founders: āDanielle, do *not* raise VC. Keep control and keep your life.ā Thank you, ladies.
In all of this, Bless & Release got birthed. Like a miracle baby.
The full app is being built, very quietly, one line of code at a time. The current version is a little trinket. The full unfurl will be like a temple. For now, you can listen to + read the Bless book on it and do The Centering Practice.
So⦠ya⦠itās been a very challenging, karma-cleansing three-year cycle. Expansion. My consciousness. My heart. My friendships. My Faith. I got a decadeās-worth of mystic and MBA curricula.
Iām grateful for all of it, and Iām grateful itās overrr.



THIS IS US
Now I can show up more fully for our membership community, and to create classes and workshops.
Iām going to keep experimenting with delivery. Yāall seem to want, āself serve but, hold my hand and give me straight talk about metaphysical how-toās.ā I GOT YOU.
Online classes in the āindustryā are in flux. AI is seductive to self helpers who want to ask Chat GPT for relationship advice.
My advice is to not ask ChatGPT for any kind of relationship advice. š
I am not worried about being a spiritual director in the age of AI. Lived experience and love will become more magnetic than ever. Thatās the higher purpose of the authenticity + artificiality tension thatās buildingāto create deeper connection.
Related sidenote: Iāve decided to keep my writing on my site only (for subscribersāyou!) and not dice it up into Instagram soundbites. Focused love, not leaky soundbites.
You can hit reply and tell me anything.
Requests, questions, opinions, ideas. Tell me what you want more of. And like, what do you think of The Age of Aquarius so far? š¤ Intense, right?
Iām so glad youāre here.
Keepinā it real, all for love,
HAPPENINGS
Keep an eye out for day planners dropping soon! And weāre going back to colour covers! And keeping the classic plain covers.
Iām taking a group to Egypt May 11 to 24, 2027. Egypt gave me soooo much healingāI went twice in one year! If youāre called, CHECK OUT THE ITINERARY. We set up a payment plan system, and you can pay over 12 months. The trip is almost half full already. Isis awaits!
