Danielle Laporte: Own Your Truth with Lewis Howes

what if you considered right now not wanting to change who you are and how you are no striving to change for me that question is just a melter it's almost like confusing too because we're in this constant push to get [Music] [Applause] better [Music] welcome back everyone to the school of greatness podcast very excited about our guest Danielle aort is in the house good to see you my love how are you doing I'm so great awesome I'm excited for you because you've got a new book out it's called White Hot truth make sure you guys go get this right now it's a game Cher it's going to inspire you it's going to give you a lot of wisdom and Clarity and one of the things I want to talk about that I loved actually is it gives you Clarity but there's also a whole page on here called the paradoxal of wisdom is that what it's called yes the Paradox of wi wisdom of paradoxal right and you talk about how truth and wisdom usually holds opposite points of views yes and so it'll give you Clarity but it's also some confusion right to life because you have these 14 different points uh which I love you know which kind of made me laugh you say like forgive but don't forget trust but do the work get real and be idealistic so these different you know paradoxal truths of wisdom why is this so why can't it just be one way oh it's never one way it's always and both you know wholeness is like inclusive and I think I mean this is just what I found to be true for myself and like the people who I consider Real Deal teachers there's always some contradiction they know you know wisdom knows that there's a time and a place for everything there's a time to be you know a purist and devotional and there's times to let loose and there are times you know wholeness is about being really you know deeply self-respect and centered within yourself and you know having excellent boundaries and then getting off your ass and being of service and feeling connected to everybody yeah yeah whole life is both mhm and it's also messy sometimes so messy so messy so uncertain um never a straight line never black and white um it's never you never change for one reason it's never one in it's never one Instagram right that gets you to change it's like a series of things that creates a Tipping Point Point M yeah it's complex is there a Tipping Point in your life recently uh Tipping Point in my life I feel like it's been this melting yeah this slow burning you know fire and for me things never come in an explosive way like it's never I never feel like ah I had the Breakthrough an aha moment not the AHA it's just a slow grind to figuring it out sometimes it's about feeling just worn the [ __ ] down and that's when the Revelation comes and like just so exhausted you're like okay something has to shift yeah or I get it I'm I'm I'm giving up I'm letting it go uh I'm not a fan of the word surrender but I'm just going to just going to be and allow yeah yes so no lightning bolts for me I used to really want lightning bolts like I used to think it would be so great to have a near death experience you know something that like wouldn't leave me disfigured or super traumatized but just like I wanted yeah I wanted to see the light and have one of those like transcendental things that would be like really transformative and I could maybe get a great book out of it you know and my life is just much more normal and I'm like really okay with with it yeah yeah yeah okay well what's the biggest lesson youve learned in writing this book um CU it's a journey writing a book obviously I'll tell you yes the biggest lesson in writing this book was about being more self-referencing I mean really the the heart of this is about being your own Guru and after I was finished the book I realized that I was still pretty addicted to getting outside input like it was one more psychic reading it was another intuitive something it was like well maybe I need a more specific business coach for this specific issue just like one more Psychotherapy session you know one more yoga session more Retreat yeah and so I have gone on an input fast and it feels like really confessional like I feel like I'm in an a meaning saying you know I'm Danielle and I haven't had a psychic reading for eight months [Music] and yeah just much fewer like spiritual paraphernalia in my life no I'm just not referring to those tools as much it's about me and you know what it's 5050 if you listen to everybody else your chances of playing it off still 50/50 if you listen to yourself still 50/50 but listening to yourself oh God you save a lot of money it's much more efficient and you really build that muscle you know intuition is a muscle and so much in the self-help space is like you know listen to that small inner voice and there's so much noise coming in people can't hear that small inner voice let alone trusting it let alone acting on it so you need to just stop with the input and create some space face and then you can hear yourself and sometimes it'll be right and sometimes it'll lead you somewhere else that you'll think is wrong but that'll turn out right afterwards when you zoom back and look at the whole situation but uh yeah input fasting it's good for you I mean how do you think people should create a structure for themselves to have that space because we're so attached to the phones and you know being with in the digital information world what do you recommend mhm mhm uh to create that space yeah um less seeking of external input as I just said I think you have to have some kind of practice of Stillness in your life yeah and I know everybody would like to avoid it I know we would like to take shortcuts I mean look the first thing I do in the morning when I roll over in bed is I check my phone and then I meditate so I'm not saying like yeah right so I wanted I just want to see who loves me how many people liked meem did I get affirmation for my value on the planet right um and then I tune in so whatever it is for you if it's like if it's your morning run if it's your time on the elliptical if it's 4 minutes if you're really going to give her and sit for you know 20 minutes to an hour like you must have that it's like you know we clean our bodies we clean our system you know that light that you encounter when you're in a meditative state that is a cleaning of the mind and it needs to happen so that you don't get the fog the confusion I mean I think the most basic level so many people can relate to just waking up in the morning and not knowing exactly what the priorities are mhm so many people do that right it's that fogginess and this can go W for years decades for people decades and then they wake up and say what's my purpose what am I doing all this for yeah what's the reason it adds up and you you're on Prozac you're in the wrong job smoking drinking you're in the wrong relationship you don't feel the way you want to feel so regular Stillness I think there's a difference between meditation and contemplation and prayer ideally you're using all of them I meant meditation is it's formulaic you're sitting there's there it has process it's an actual process and you find the way of meditating that works for you contemplation is just like you're actually actively thinking you are in you're very much in your mind thinking through things you are being considerate about what's happening in your life and then prayer is it's a conversation you know and prayer can be for lot of us is just making the request over and over again for me I'm much happier when prayer is about gratitude and I really want to meet my maker halfway uh yeah but those things that's a reason everybody's been talking about it for 2,000 years right Stillness needs to happen it's true now you say the uh the best self-help is self-compassion yeah why is that booah that's that's it that's the whole point my journey has been one of exhaustion and burnout and you seem pretty good right now I'm so good right now I'm so liberated now I am I am I am rested and filled up with a lot of gratitude and there was always lots of gratitude but I'm not striving anymore in the way that I used to strive you mean you just be constantly working and grinding type of thing yeah there was always the career grind and you know be seen hit the list get the followers I mean you know like we're in the same space um but underneath that there was this spiritual striving so you know I grew up Catholic and it's all about press impressing God it's all it is all about the points right and getting access you're in or you're out if you're good or you're bad and I mean that's a very black and white way of putting it but that's not that far off right and I thought I let that go I thought I let that striving go I I I mean I thought I was Freer than I really was but I've really just replaced that dictatorial God with another kind of God who looked really great in black yoga stretchy P pants sure I went to burning man you know it like it's much more Progressive and sexually liberated but I was still really just trying to get these Cosmic brownie points as you know am I am I good enough am I enlightened enough am I are my thoughts clean enough am I have I done enough cleansing and it's exhausting and expensive and you know I was looking at my day planner it's like there you know I there's a channeling appointment and there's a yoga treat and I got to go get my [ __ ] protein powder we're over obsessed with protein and then there's a therapy session and then maybe you know and what if what if I just let go just for a moment what if I even just considered letting go we'll just ask everybody listening right now what if where do I look what if you considered right now not wanting to change who you are and how you are no striving to change for me that question is just a melter it's almost like confusing too because we're in this constant push to get better mhm and when I started to let that go because that does not happen in a lightning bolt because that is so deeply ingrained because I'm actually living a really normal life yeah um there was more spaciousness and I became much more friendly with myself when you let go of striving when I let go of the striving but is that striving to achieve or striving to become a better human being both both I'm not broken MH I'm not flawed I'm not um I don't need to be fixed I need to be celebrated I need to be honored I deserve to be loved and that has to start with me and so all of those moments where I'm just like you should have said something different you should have worked longer you should have worked harder you should have been more loving you should this is a big one es this is a big one especially for women you should be over it by now I mean those are really harsh things that we would never say to our best friend you sit with your friend again and again and again and you listen to them go on about the chump when you're like I think you need to dump the gy but you listen and so you know the medicine really happens when we feel like we're at our worst when we are our Biggest Loser selves and you say you trying your best of course you're in pain of course you're still hurt of course and then there's some space some solutions start coming in yeah you stand up a little straighter you have just succeeded at being that loving person that you've been going to all those damn workshops about cuz you loved yourself when you thought you were a loser mhm yeah and it makes you so much more that self-compassion makes you so much more flexible and compassionate for what other people are going through and you become less of a Preacher I mean I became less less of a motivational speaker just like listen I this is what I've been throughh everybody's where they're at you are pre-qualified just because you showed up yeah H do you feel like you uh um talking about growth do you feel like we should be consistently trying to grow or just stay where we're at oh I don't think that we should stay where we're at I mean the desire is still there to I mean I'm a Seeker I am hungry I want the answers I am driven to what are the answers you're looking for oh I want to know how creation happens I want to know how colors are made in the universe I want to know our relationship to you know other species on this planet into other dimensions I want to know what our true nature is I want to know where Joy comes from from I Want to Know What Love really is like what is the science of love what's the esoteric explanation why why is the planet a mess I want to know where hope comes from you know where does Hope meet being realistic I want to know if there's such a thing as Destiny I don't think there is um I want to know the difference between hope and optimism I want to know where ideas come from are the ideas coming from within me you know are things pre pre-ordained can we really tell the future like clearly I have some questions you know and and I have to be of service I just um I'm in a lot of Agony about where the world is at I struggle a lot with staying hopeful mhm um some days I just think the [ __ ] is going to go down and we are all going down with it what do you think is the main cause of that I think there's an ignorance about our true power I think that all darkness comes from not facing your soul I think when you are not facing Your Soul Your Truth your full potential IAL your God nature Illusions start to happen and you feel disconnected and when you are disconnected you can very quickly turn into an [ __ ] MH you don't recycle you don't include other people you judge you judge it is the seed of racism and bigotry and misogyny that's what I think the problem is it is uh the deepest darkest kind of disc connection from our light from our Beauty and yeah being connected to use you know your word being connected with your greatness it makes you really fierce in some ways it's that drive to serve and it also makes you very soft and I'm really starting to get that growth is a softening H yeah not a hardening nope I'm curious I was going to go down a different path there I know where you're going um let's talk about beliefs because you said you grew up Catholic and you grew up with certain beliefs I'm assuming right with religion from parents from friends yeah uh and I'm assuming that you have certain beliefs now that are different from your first 20 years of life right oh yeah yeah yeah now why and how do we choose our beliefs and how often is it okay to change them well you can change your beliefs daily it might drive you crazy but like it's up to you this is a democracy right um I think we choose certain beliefs and this this is a really fantastic question because of comfort I think that's the driving reason we want to know that if we are good we will be rewarded MH we want to believe that all of this is going to pay off and we all have different limits on on the pay off right like some of us believe that if we are good today it will pay off tomorrow if we are good in this lifetime we will get the rewards in the afterlife you know some of us believe if we do what we feel is right our version of goodness today it'll pay off some time in the grand scheme of things the reward might not come in this lifetime uh but yeah I think it's all about Comfort how often do you change yours well it depends on the belief right it's a it's a slow it's a slow game I mean I'm in this for the long game I'm in this for many lifetimes um I think big cultural change takes Generations yeah and it actually makes me so much more effective as an activist as someone with a lot of opinions that I share publicly to to to see it that way I used to be in such a rush and it actually creates this kind of zealousness and this anxiety and you really feel like you're never getting ahead and the irony for me at least with just having this bigger perspective is I can see progress more now I'm so much more patient and loving and oh my God my opinions are sharper than ever I am more I just I have more things to say and I want to be really persistent and loud about it really yeah it's time I mean we we used to think it's time I'm telling you now it is really time to stand up on your stage whatever your stage is your stage might be your kitchen table and voicing your opinions with your family nowadays everybody is a broadcaster we are we are the media and you know if you're going to be as great and powerful as we all are aspiring to be with all of our self-help it really starts with putting your beliefs out there publicly yeah no more hiding it's powerful yeah yeah what about forgiveness how do you forgive when you see so many things that you don't enjoy or appreciate or think are wrong in the world yeah when you say the world's a mess how do you forgive certain things people experiences and how often do you forgive I think there might be some things that some of us come across in a lifetime that are unforgivable really yeah and it doesn't mean you won't forgive them eventually in the next Dimension or the next life MH it might be your lesson your karma your Dharma to just hold on to that so some of us just need to be o okay with that I do believe that forgiveness is like the heightened way I feel like it is the aspiration it is forgiveness is the goal and the first step to forgiving is to admit that you don't want to forgive I mean who wants to forgive I read that in here right like you get screwed over and you're frustrated you're pissed yeah because you want to be right of course you want to be right well the ego gets in the way and I also think there is this really healthy Clarity of like this is right and this is wrong this is morality and this is immorality this is how I want to be treated in my life and this is how you treated me and it's not on like there is some like self-certainty about that right um but yeah you know what this goes back to the self-compassion as self-help just admit I don't want to forgive I'm going to just just let me be the douche for a minute right right and then Inc comes that softening and then the next you know so-called step is to just have the desire to forgive and you don't have to plan it out you don't need to think well you know if I forgive them I have to reinvite them to my wedding right you don't have to you don't have to not necessar you don't have to be doing lunch just have the desire it will work its way through you you will write a new story with that person and my experience has been you know we relate to people on a personality level you have your persona and you know you wear a soul named Lewis and you got your stuff you know and you may or may not change so I have to relate to you in that way so I may put up very clear boundaries with you because stuff meaning like stuff that you may not appreciate or stuff that's messy like say you know you done me wrong forgiving doesn't mean I need to give you a chance to like do me right so to speak um but I can forgive your soul and I can do the multi-dimensional work to be like we're all learning I totally get that on some level I am one we're all in this together and I'll work from that place but on the dayto day we're just going to we're going to part ways right right right yeah and you know what's the difference between judgment and discernment you have a great little quote that I read in the end about this but once you feel done wrong by someone how do you not go to place of judgment yeah on that person and say this is who that person is or talking bad about that person you because I've done that in the past where I like someone did me wrong and I'm just like badmouthing them right because I'm just pissed and I catch myself and I'm like all right is this doing me any good it's just hurting me more by talking negative about someone else so how do you go from a place of not being frustrated or judgmental on someone or situation and just being more Discerning and letting it go well I have two answers to that I mean one one point is that I think you bring up a really good part there about is Judgment hurting you is you talking [ __ ] about other people self-destructive I think it feels good in the moment but then at the end of the day I think it's h well it's like a hit right yeah H it's like good heavy nicotine smoke person yeah of course we we all do that and I think that piercing judgment that [ __ ] talk is damaging actually that's really hard not to do uh but if you keep it up it turns into it's poison for yourself and you know you know what's right and wrong and is better to keep it clean but you need to have your moments you know and your Your Inner Circle uh you mean you need to be able to share with your close friends is what you're saying share with your close let it out if you need to yeah yeah uh judgment is a [ __ ] judgment is narrow-minded it's poisonous it's a judgment is a very small thinker uh judgment is ruled by fear um judgment is hyper protective it's very survival based it's uh it's like hanging out at this Neanderthal level discernment is a higher perspective it really kind of sits at the center and it can see right and wrong it's got a 360 degree view it's much more flexible um it's rooted in service it wants Justice it wants to restore order for the right reasons right and you've got to be Discerning if you're really going to tap your power you've got to be Discerning if you're really going to be a creative with a Capital C you need to know the difference between ethical and unethical between what feels good good and what feels offensive to you and you know there's been some times where I've gotten some push back for sharing my opinions and it's that new age chick push back and I get it because I am a new age chick but it's like that's a little judgmental Danielle and um you know especially if you are a female speaking out against another female's Behavior which I very rarely do but there are times to do that to say this is not moving anybody forward especially feminism right and yeah I get that well that's not being very spiritual well actually it's not very spiritual of you to tell me I'm not being very spiritual there's lots of judgment here um but you need to voice what is right and what is wrong for you and that is how you create change we cannot move forward if we say this is broken mhm yeah we need to yeah spot it how important is it to understand one's ego when it comes to spiritual growth oh you know the ego I love my ego yeah I I mean of course I do right because that's what the ego does the ego loves itself yeah that was a double ont um the ego is so misunderstood I mean it's I put it in the category of the word love forgive it's just really complicated you have to have an ego to move through the world you you do it is a in some cases it's a really healthy defense mechanism the ego is so related to persona it's like you have a brand that is you know closely part of your spirit like you're on target right I have become the so-called brand which still kind of makes me laugh but that's ego and that's part of being effective in a world I in the world I need to package myself in a way that feels true for me so that I can find my tribe essentially and be of service share your message and get it out there yeah um but ego is like sugar just a little bit goes a long way I think we could operate on the 8020 RO with the ego 20% Persona 80% truth and Essence and when we get carried away we get with the ego further and further away from our truth in our soul more narcissistic more self you know unhealthy version of self centered really disconnected yeah is there anywhere you feel disconnected anywhere that I feel disconnected there's some people I feel disconnected from sometimes like I just did I just instead of speaking gig and I have a what I do is I walk the room before my gig and of course I can't be Incognito I come out and people are just like oh hi what are you doing out from behind stage I'm just like I just want to be with my people and I I recently did a gig and I walked down I was like mostly dudes MH 30 something business they want to know how to rock their Facebook following and I'm just like [ __ ] I don't know how this is going to go because I'm going to be up there talking about facing your soul and what conscious business really is and I don't care if you're going public do not give a [ __ ] anymore I care what you are doing for the public and I had to Pivot pretty quick and I knew that I was not going to hit it with the majority of that audience but I knew I was going to hit it really deep with some people in the audience and my my calling in that moment like my Mo my what I had to rise to was to be myself anyway and I don't know that I did it I gave myself a B I mean apparently I was like an a in that gig but I felt pretty disconnected from from that group and I'm just never [ __ ] again you know I'm only going to speak to the choir the that get it the ones that get it and I have that struggle I mean that is a very specific professional struggle for me do I train the trainers teach the teachers do I just like hang with the tribe man you know um or do I push myself and my current answer is um I go where the resonance is MH go where the resonance is because if I'm standing on stage or writing or whatever it is and I'm trying to convert you no listen it's highly inefficient thing to do with my energy and I don't feel liberated and I don't feel super turned on I yeah I want to be I want to be where the light is the light that I recognize yeah how can someone create a wellness support system oh well you got to text your girlfriend obsessively every day girls already do that here yeah yeah it's a religion you know I see Jen's phone just constantly texting her girlfriends yeah we I actually can't speak publicly about it but yeah okay um it's a mix of things so you know my observation in being in the wellness space is that we get on this path of Purity and cleansing you talk about cleansing a lot oh it's like cleansing and it's like I'm only going to see my natural path and I'm going to meditate on you know where the stuck energy is in my body and all those things need to happen I mean all of that you know Eastern basically the Eastern holistic approach needs to infiltrate the Western dysfunctional approach but those of us who have been on that you know quote unquote holistic path we need to lighten up on the way to Enlightenment with this because you know I've been like coughing up along with a friend she's like you need to get to a doctor you need antibiotics and I was like oh I was just like going to bring down more light and take some mechona and I think you know everybody's everybody's sorry everybody's body is a complex system you are more complex than any software Hardware program and you need a multi-dimensional multi-prong approach to your healing yeah so you might need a shaman and you might need chemotherapy and you may need green juice and every once in a while you know you maybe you got to do some iasa you have to piece it together yourself without judgment as to what works for you and let's just put all that wholeness in a bubble and I also want to say you know we are a culture who is addicted to anti-depressants and prescriptions that come from people who don't really know us who don't take the time to test us properly ask us about our personal emotional histories um I mean there's so much addiction and blindness happening in the wellness space so and there's not one pill you know fits all no there isn't there isn't one spiritual prescription there isn't one medical prescription you have to kind of quilt together your program and it takes more time it takes more patience it takes more courage to do that because you don't just have your 15minute appointment you got to do your research yeah what do you want people to know about white hot truth uh and why should they get it white hot truth and why should get besides the fact that I love input uh and who's it for specifically that's a good question it's for anybody who identifies as being a Seeker it's for anybody who listens to all of our inspirational motivational podcast because they want to be better it's for anybody who ever wanted to escape their Church whatever that church is it's for anybody who is in the selfhelp space and still feeling like it's not quite right for them like there's this question around boundaries it's for anybody who is tired of a point system around going to yoga um it's for anybody who thinks their goals might be just a little bit [ __ ] up right now yeah and what do I want people to know about it uh it really comes from the heart this is my I could tell fiercest most tender offering to date it's very powerful yeah yeah I could tell reading it you know what I could tell what you know there's some stuff if I'm just being honest here since this is the white hot truth there's some stuff from the past when I read and I'm sure with me as well but some stuff that you've written in the past but I felt like sometimes it felt forced to me it didn't feel fully who you were it felt like what you said a little preachy sometimes M and this feels the most authentic I've ever seen the type of work you've done it feels like yes I was like yes yes yes and that's all you I can feel it so that's what I really love about it it feels like something you don't want to put down it's very powerful thank you as opposed to like uh she preachy or she this or oh well I'm still just as preachy yeah but it's authentic I think you know in the past there was this anger and this pointedness and this kind of you know that edge yes I really wanted you to [ __ ] hear what I had to say yes you still want be able to hear but just a softer Edge yeah now I like I'm just not as attached and there's not a right and wrong yeah and that is from a place of self-respect and you know deeper self-love I'm also I'm divorced now and I was in a long-term relationship where there was that constant push and pull and that really affected my creative output I mean when you're in when you're swimming in um when you're swimming in Conflict whether it's romantic or professional or creative it will seep into your whole life and so part of my path of Liberation was like cleaning all of that up really reclaiming my body my sensibilities my beliefs and it's good it's whole yeah it is it's a great book yeah um few questions I want to ask you left if you had an unlimited amount of money yeah just given to you that you could use to solve One Challenge in the world and you wouldn't have any money left but it would solve that challenge yeah or issue or concern or cancer what would you want to solve I love questions like these yeah because this is an impossible question love it uh one one and it was solved forever I don't know if it would solve anything forever but I would like this to go on forever it would have to do with mindfulness and children I think if you can teach kids to be self-reflective to know that they have control or a lot of control over their nervous system if you can teach them about their innate power and mental Clarity and Beauty boom you have connectivity you were then then you know what you you grow environmentalists you grow activists you grow loving beings Progressive humans who are taking all solutions um all problems into their their own hands I think that's good and there's I see more and more videos online of like classrooms doing this and like detention doing meditation and I'm like that's powerful yeah were you in detention a lot when you were a kid just a few times not too many times I cheated all the time but I never got caught yeah I would cheat on like quizzes and tests and homework because that was the only way I could get through school yeah because it just I couldn't figure it out yeah so it's like my survive mechanism survival mechanism yeah but I only got caught like a couple times and I went to yeah like detention once or twice and I I remember having Saturday detention which is the worst the worst oh yeah you have to be in school essentially all day Saturday yeah it's the worst feeling ever and you just sit in a room with like 30 other kids who are in detention as well for like Saturday detention or something no good you sit around do nothing there's just someone watching you and you just have to like work on homework or something but you can't speak you can't you just sit at your desk for eight hours misery MH I never wanted to get do that again so um I learned how to cheat efficient ly yeah without getting caught or otherwise I would just get an F if I knew I was getting caught so unfortunately that's how I had to deal with it but um well I like that answer it's a good answer I think it's powerful if you had to I don't know if I asked you this last time you were on I think two years ago before we had this whole setup and before we had advancement Swanky paneling right yeah so if you had to get a tattoo on your forehead for life I already have a lot of tattoos that I wish I didn't have really yeah what's the one that you're glad you do have oh well I'm down I'm down with my arm tattoos are Co so the butterfly the story here is that it's not about metamorphosis it that I read that in Native Indian American practice the Warriors would paint the butterfly on their Shield because they thought that to come out in a world where you did know what was on the other side was the most courageous act wow so I was like that's hot and then my circle which I just love artistically CU a circle is very hard to tattoo like I went to Bob and and Bob was like so how many people said they wouldn't do this tattoo and I was like um I just called you yeah right and it's a reference it's a Buddhist reference to that you know everything is empty but everything is form at the same time and then it's also my reference which is like I'm open but I have boundaries but you're closed [ __ ] it's like the wisdom of paradox right that's right I'm whole but I'm empty I'm open but I'm closed I am love and I have standards right exactly I like that um okay well if if you had to put a tattoo on your forehead that was reverse so every time you looked in the mirror only you could see it I was going to say you got this but no um uh this is there well listen my design sensibility is very strong so I would just have a beautiful Bindy dot right there and oh it has to say something
