Episode 72| Radically Truthful with Danielle LaPorte Author From One Seeker to Another

Danielle LaPorte is my absolute hero. She is the high priestess of entrepreneurship, consciousness, and self-empowerment. Her new book, White Hot Truth: Clarity for Keeping it Real On Your Spiritual Path from One Seeker to Another, launches May 16, 2017 and I can honestly say that this book is literally what the world needs at this exact moment. It has changed my perspective on so many things and opened the door to discovering a new way of being.

 

Named one of the “Top 100 Websites for Women” by Forbes, over 5 million visitors go to DanielleLaPorte.com every month for her daily #Truthbombs and what’s been called “the best place online for kickass spirituality.” Danielle has been a mentor of mine for years and I am so grateful for her work.

 

I am incredibly honored to have this chance to speak with Danielle. She graciously shared her insights on honesty, dealing with criticism, personal narrative, pulling out suffering stories, and finding truth.
