Podcast Goals and Listener Inspiration
00:00:21
Speaker
On this show, we're not just here to share stories. We're here to ignite a fire within you and make you realize that the reality you envision is just the tip of the iceberg. You're wildly capable of achieving that reality and so much more. So my friends, grab your cup of inspiration, settle in, and let's dive into another inspiring episode of This or More.
Danielle's Journey to Success
00:00:45
Speaker
Danielle Amos built her empire by unlearning everything she thought success looked like and stepping into a soul-aligned millionaire mindset. Today, she is a mentor to heart-led entrepreneurs and people who want to live their best lives, a speaker, and the host of the Mystic Millionaire podcast.
00:01:03
Speaker
But before all of that, she was experiencing debilitating panic attacks and wrestling with burnout, and eventually she had to learn how to trust her own intuition over systems.
00:01:14
Speaker
You're about to hear what it really takes to claim abundance that's rooted in alignment, not achievement. Danielle, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. So I want to start with something a little bit unexpected, Danielle. And I just have to say, like, this is the third time I've gotten to see you two times face-to-face, now virtual, but in the last couple of months, which is such a such a delight and such a joy.
00:01:36
Speaker
And everyone's going to get a chance to hear your full story. But I want to jump right into something a little unexpected. Great. So what's something that people never ask you about?
Impact of Travel on Personal Growth
00:01:47
Speaker
with being, you know, Mystic Millionaire Mentor, but that deeply shaped your journey and you wish more people inquired about it?
00:01:56
Speaker
Ooh, what a great question, Tiffany. Well,
00:02:04
Speaker
would say travel for me. i don't talk a lot about where I've traveled and how that shaped me and how that really does relate to the work that I do.
00:02:17
Speaker
Now, but the first trip I took on my own was right after university. And I went to India. It was like going right into the deep end of like all the places you can go. and I spent six months there. Well, five months and a month in in Nepal.
00:02:38
Speaker
And for the majority of that time, I was on my own. So I'm like, 21. had $10 day was my budget, $300 a month. Wow. And i like was the definition of like a true backpacker.
00:02:54
Speaker
And this is 1999, the end of October, 1999. And I've traveled and I love traveling. And i and like most people, um i travel for food.
00:03:06
Speaker
So I love experiencing culture through food. James. And i went to India to have an audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, which, and then end up doing like a meditation retreat for 10 days, silence, and like doing all this hiking, which is so much connected to what I do now. But I don't have to get a chance to really go back there, you know?
00:03:31
Speaker
I've been studying, like really studying this material and all the things I do since then, which is crazy to think about because I'm 48. forty eight So it's a long time.
00:03:43
Speaker
Yeah. But I do find that people that are drawn to this type of work, right, which you and I have have lots of deep conversations and friends who we, you know, sitting around coffee shop and this is what we're talking about. And it's because we had, ah probably most of us, I would say, had a pretty intense curiosity about it for a long time, right? This isn't something you just read about in a book once and the next day you're like, I'm, this is who I am. This is what I believe. It's compounding and it's It's lesson after lesson after lesson. So um that makes a lot of sense. But wow, six months in India at the age of 21 is brave.
00:04:20
Speaker
o Yeah. And like no money, right? So yeah I chose to be vegetarian the entire time I was there, mainly for so like safety in my health. I wasn't too sure about eating meat, especially when you see it there. And yeah the other was um I didn't drink alcohol either.
00:04:41
Speaker
and Like I'm coming off the back of university where I drank a lot, which was also a really interesting choice for me at the time. and Like I think back and it was due to budget.
00:04:52
Speaker
Like I really just didn't have anything to, I had my water and the odd Coca-Cola as a treat, you know? Yeah. Yeah. um But it was the best six months.
00:05:05
Speaker
I learned so much about myself. i was so freaked out. The moment, so I was there with my boyfriend at the time for the first month, and then we went to Nepal and hiked Everest region. And then he left, he had to go volunteer somewhere, I think in Guatemala or something.
00:05:20
Speaker
And he, um so I stayed and I remember not leaving my hotel in Delhi for the first like 48 hours. I was so freaked out. Wow. Yeah. And I would go up to the rooftop, but I was like so shy.
00:05:32
Speaker
So I'd go up to the rooftop and people always try and talk to me. i' be like, okay, back in your room. And I'm quite introverted. Like i I just wasn't able to do it. And then I go out to Delhi and I'm wearing Birkenstocks.
00:05:46
Speaker
And when you walk the streets of Delhi, especially the backpacker row, Bar Gange, people swarm you. Especially a white blonde woman, young woman.
00:06:00
Speaker
They swarmed me. And I remember these guys, like carpet sellers and kids all coming up to me. And I'm like walking really fast, trying to like figure out where I'm going.
00:06:11
Speaker
And there's cows everywhere in India. And with cows comes like their waste. And I'm walking and I walk, put my foot right in like cow dung in my work in stocks. And the guy, like that was enough. All the people left me alone. They were like...
00:06:29
Speaker
and Yeah. Like we're okay. It's per goal. But I was terrified. Wow. Terrified. Yeah. What do you feel like that was the biggest lesson? What do you feel like was the biggest lesson that season or even that moment taught you?
00:06:43
Speaker
Well, really i was building resilience, confidence, and courage. And um I mean, people thought I was absolutely nuts. Like, what are you doing in India? Let alone alone.
00:06:55
Speaker
But I – You know when you just know you have to do something? Like I just – there was nothing stopping me. And um I knew I had to go and discover it. It was like one of those places kind of like what I felt in Egypt, like being home.
00:07:12
Speaker
I had been there before, but I did not have the vocabulary for that at 21. Right. Yeah, right um yeah I would say resilience, courage, confidence. Hmm.
00:07:25
Speaker
Yeah. And it didn't take long. like Within a few days after that, like I'm fine. I'm now like traveling on the train 12 hours by myself like overnight. like No problem. Yeah.
00:07:36
Speaker
Yeah. Isn't that crazy? we We proved ourselves that we're capable and then all of a sudden the walls come down and the the world presents itself in such a beautiful way. But you've got to you got to push through the discomfort. We say it all the time, right?
00:07:49
Speaker
Totally. and like understand that really like the talents and skills get developed when you're pushed to your edge. Like you don't need them before that. Like while I was traveling with Chris, like I didn't need to be outgoing. He was, i didn't need to be resilient. He took care of me, you know?
00:08:08
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Academic Influence on Spirituality
00:08:10
Speaker
Okay. So speaking of one of your, part of your origin story is so interesting to me because it dates back to your undergrad years and, um, something pretty profound happened with a professor that you had that I think is really remarkable that you had a professor that was, that went there with you. So will you just tell us a little bit about that story about what was going on with you in the light and that, and that season and then, and then what this professor introduced you to?
00:08:34
Speaker
yeah absolutely. So I was studying pre-med, like life science, and I was in the middle of a physics exam. And I had a panic attack, an anxiety attack. And I had been familiar with um anxiety and, you know, those symptoms, but I had not experienced anything like this.
00:08:53
Speaker
And I left the exam, I was completely paralyzed. And I ended up going to see my professor and she believe that I knew the information. So she understood the mind. She understood that all wisdom's there, you know, infinite source, if we can connect.
00:09:08
Speaker
And so she asked me if she could put me into a meditative state. And so she took me through some breathing exercises and I relaxed and then she gave me a verbal exam.
00:09:20
Speaker
And I did very well, like high 90s in that exam. And from there, i like, i was so fascinated. I had like, how is this happening? And she said, well, i really think meditation is going to help you a lot. And um she had me then go see the Buddhism teacher.
00:09:42
Speaker
And that's when I started studying religion and Buddhism on the side, the which then led me to India, because if I didn't do the project on the Dalai Lama and the Four Noble Truths, then there's no way that I would have wanted to go to India. It's like,
00:09:55
Speaker
That had to happen, you know, in order for this and this and like connecting the dots. But this professor, i mean, I didn't stay in touch with her really. It was like this moment where she showed me what was possible and how the mind worked and it changed me forever.
00:10:13
Speaker
ah yeah I just think that's so extraordinary because i don't i don't know. I think a lot of us don't have – we have great teachers and then we have teachers that that don't think outside the box like that and don't give us the a second chance, right? So I think that's so beautiful and and what a – I think that's part of your origin story. like Had that not happened, like you said, you wouldn't have ever understood the depths of the mind and gone to India and and you know the story continues.
00:10:39
Speaker
Yeah. And reading all the books. So like that led me to reading like Ram Dass, the Waken the Buddha Within, um meditation. Like if I'm looking at my bookshelf, I have a library in my office and it's like filled with books. And a lot of those I bought in my twenties after that time. And I just, I became so, I'm like this, like I love to read and just became so obsessed with how like meditation and yeah, it's, it's fascinating.
00:11:07
Speaker
I think it's it's an important thing, like for all the listeners to really take the time and look back at those moments, those pivotal moments. And like, what if, right what if that panic attack didn't happen?
00:11:20
Speaker
Yeah. Yes. yeah And it's really, that's like, let's look at the good, let's look for the good in the, opera in you know, or I call it looking for the opportunity, you right? But looking for the good, the opportunity, and the moment that feels like, oh, this is the worst thing ever. And then usually what ends up happening is we're like, I'm so glad that happened because had that not happened, I would not be where I am today.
00:11:40
Speaker
Yeah. Was there, as you you know proceeded along your path, um kind of before awareness, I'll say, and then after um you did all these studies and and continued on the journey, was there a ah fear that you ever had to notice that came up that you had to overcome that maybe came back from childhood conditioning of some sort that you you just kind of were able to say, this this is my block. This is what's getting in the way. Yeah.
00:12:06
Speaker
Yeah, i identified um pretty early on that I had a reoccurring saying, and I believe we all do in our mind, that I didn't know when enough.
00:12:21
Speaker
And so, and, you know, I even referred to it how I said, like, how I become obsessed with things and I read all the books. Yeah. the block was that like, who am i to teach this or who am I to be an expert in this? And so i have a tendency, had a tendency to study, study, study, and like not do anything with it because I never felt like I knew enough. And I'm sure a lot of listeners can relate to that. And, um, it really did paralyze me for a long time.
00:12:53
Speaker
yeah um And now I'm very aware of it and I see it as an asset. I think it's really important to understand like what's blocking us and how can we change the narrative around it to create something that really does serve us.
00:13:05
Speaker
So now I like, I know my research and I'm also a one line, which you can't make this up in human design, which is also like the knowledge seeker. And I've turned that into like,
00:13:17
Speaker
because I've read so many books, I can quote so many authors and so many books. And I think that that really does help with credibility for clients who value of like education and source. So yeah.
00:13:31
Speaker
I've turned it around for myself. Yes, you have. But I think you also got out of your own way to a degree, right? Like i i was I recently hosted a mastermind dinner party and one of the women at the table was talking about how she'd been doing this thing with her clients for a while and now she thinks that she wants to kind of like brand herself as such and do this thing.
00:13:50
Speaker
But somebody told her that she needed to go get this certification and someone else told her she needed to do this. And around the table, it was a resounding, no, like you do not need to do that. And we walked her through it. We talked her through it. And it was so interesting to hear the subconscious belief kept, it just kept going back to, but I'm not enough.
00:14:07
Speaker
How, who am I? Like everything you just said. And we were like, you just told us that you've already been doing this. You've had beautiful experiences with your clients are raving, you know, but I just think that What I was getting at was like there's this difference between acknowledging it, recognizing it, and then either you or someone around you giving you the push to say, don't let this hold you back.
00:14:27
Speaker
And yes, it can then become you know something that serves in your best interest. And it's great to always want to learn. And it's great to always want to you know get get more education and all these things. But it's when it becomes a crutch and it becomes a roadblock, that's when it becomes a problem. Right?
00:14:42
Speaker
Yeah, and I think it's a deep programming. So if we look at that belief specifically, like I can't do that unless I get certified. And I believe that in some industries, certification is necessary. You know, I don't want to go to a surgeon who's not certified, right?
00:14:57
Speaker
But in in others, it's like, and our society really does value the certifications and the degrees on the wall to a point. And I studied and NLP in course.
00:15:09
Speaker
But have like, in one of, you know, we learn about values and the values level four, it's very much about the certification. I think when you get past that values level, those certifications don't matter anymore. And so when you talk about that dinner, the the group around the table, they would have been beyond valuing that.
00:15:28
Speaker
And I think that that's so interesting. For me, it's like, um yeah, I've been doing it with my clients, like the woman that you said around the table. So just like go out and do it. And then Can you look at the way that your clients are winning to then see if you need any more training? Like, are you but you know delivering?
00:15:47
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I love that. Yeah. You talk a lot about living in divine partnership and attracting abundance through alignment. So let's, for a moment, I know that's a deep topic and we're going to skim the surface, but can you talk to me about, you know, what, what is that for you? What are the principles and methods that, that you truly believe and teach that helped you and help your clients, you know, attract more abundance and surpass that 100 K mark or whatever, you know, the benchmark is for them?
00:16:18
Speaker
Yeah, great question. So i actually use stepping stones to get a client to what I think you're referring to as the divine alignment, because I noticed that for most people to believe that they really are an extension of source or God or divine infinite intelligence is a stretch.
00:16:43
Speaker
ya And so they don't know how powerful they are. And it's like not who they believe they are. It's who they believe they are not that's holding them back. But because I've noticed, like if I went around saying like, you're an extension of God, you're an extension of God, like people are like, you know, so instead I use goals and um like a goalpost and a vision. And I believe that i I teach my clients how to become an alignment with that specific goal.
00:17:15
Speaker
while understanding the truth of who they are, their divinity, huh as like a vision of who they're becoming. But let's create a goal so that there's very tangible ways that you can become in alignment with that goal.
00:17:31
Speaker
So if someone says, okay, well, I'd like $100,000 a year or $100,000 a month. Okay, so that's our next goal. That's where you are right now. And they might say, okay, well, right now I'm $10,000 want take it to $100,000. So say $10,000 a month to $100,000 a month.
00:17:50
Speaker
And that there's a gap. So the way that the person is showing up will not be how the person achieves that 10x. Like it's not possible. We know that doing eating the same thing over and over, right accepting it, expecting a different result. So instead we go to that goal achievement we say, okay, what does it mean to be in alignment? And for me, I break it down into the three levels in which we exist as a human being, where our thoughts, our feelings, and our our actions, or our spiritual plane, our intellectual plane, and our physical plane.
00:18:22
Speaker
And I say, okay, well, right now we know how you're showing up, but we can break it down into your thoughts, feelings, actions as well. But we want to make it very clear how you're showing up right now and how that 10X version and see the difference and then align to that goal thoughts, feelings, and actions. And when you're in alignment on all three levels, um then you're in harmony with that goal or that vision and it manifests because you become a vibrational match for it.
00:18:52
Speaker
Now, that goal, when the person achieves that $100,000 a month, well, that becomes their new stuck place. So then they've got to create another goal. And so for a while, I noticed for clients, they they'll continue to create goals and move them and achieve them and that will become their new normal.
00:19:10
Speaker
him After a while, they'll understand that they can actually be, do, and have anything and that they're an infinite being and that they're actually an extension of source.
00:19:22
Speaker
And then they start to see become in alignment with their divinity, which is a whole other level. And it can happen quite quickly after they really have tangible results and their life's changing because of the alignment. Yeah.
00:19:38
Speaker
Yeah. and So then there's bigger questions. Okay. What does it mean to become in alignment with my divinity? Well, are you walking the world as like your truth? Like literally, do you believe that you can be, do, and have anything? And if you did, how are you betting on yourself? What are you investing in? Do you really believe that money's everywhere? If so, are you still doing this and that choices or are you fully following desire? And then we have conversations like that.
00:20:06
Speaker
So good. Yeah. Does that resonate? Does that help? Yeah, absolutely. Yes. And it's so juicy and I love how you just broke that down and shared, you know, i think as human beings living a, you know, human – experience right now on this spinning ball of fire or, you know, what earth that we live on.
00:20:28
Speaker
um We, a lot of us do need some proof, unfortunately, like to just believe in you know, without the proof is, is a real challenge for a lot of people. And, know, Of course, that's faith, right? But um I think what you just described makes it so clear that like by giving them those little benchmarks and ladder increments up, it's like instilling that belief and then eventually they go, oh,
00:20:52
Speaker
Yeah, you're right. Yeah, like I really have no limits, right? Yeah. Yeah, which is a very cool place to be um when they really get
Aligning Goals for Abundance
00:21:03
Speaker
it. and you And how do you know they've got it? Well, it's what they're manifesting in their life.
00:21:09
Speaker
Their results always tell the truth of what's going on inside yeah and what they truly understand and what they truly believe about themselves. Yeah. Can we talk for just a second? Because I think if someone's listening and they hear something like, ah you know, we set the goal for 10X, the 10K a month, we get to 100K a month, now a bigger goal, bigger goal.
00:21:29
Speaker
And someone might be thinking, when is enough and enough? Yeah. you do you Do you deal with this sometimes with clients or have you dealt with this from yourself? And and and talk me through that a little bit.
00:21:39
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's a great question. Because I know, yeah, I think there's a lot of people out there saying like, oh, well, the coaching industry, you know, it's always more, more, and more. But here's the thing.
00:21:51
Speaker
There's a law of increase, and you're either growing or you're dying. And the moment you stop desiring and you stop growing, you're going backwards, you cannot stay the same. So you're growing or you're dying.
00:22:03
Speaker
So when is it enough? It's never enough. It's never enough. Now, what's the problem there, though? Because I can hear my grandmother's voice in my head going, Danielle, can't you be satisfied with what you got? Be grateful.
00:22:17
Speaker
Just because I desire more doesn't mean that I'm not grateful for what I have. And that's the problem. That's the programming. That's the paradigm. That's the conditioning that we've got to break free from.
00:22:29
Speaker
That it's actually healthy to desire It's healthy for more, more, more, and it actually doesn't make you greedy. It makes you naturally human because God gives you the desires. Yeah.
00:22:44
Speaker
Because the purpose of a desire is to grow. The person you grow into in order to get the thing now getting is just a byproduct but if you're given the desires on the physical realm in like you know more money or a bigger house or a better relationship you're given that but the the root cause of it all is to grow but if god said okay well tiffany you know i want you to grow in confidence
00:23:15
Speaker
Or I want you to grow in safety. It's like, ah okay, what? No, we're here on the physical beat on the physical plane. So instead, it's like, Tiffany, you're going to desire now ah bigger home. Why? Because the root cause of that is for you to feel more safe.
00:23:31
Speaker
Yeah. Right? Yeah. So the paradigm is the problem, not the more, more, more. um And the moment you stop desiring, you're going to start dying. And we see this all the time with people that retire.
00:23:44
Speaker
Yeah. ah Yeah. The health studies, you know, mental health studies speak for themselves in that regard. Right. And I talk about this even in team dynamics, like to bring it all the way back to something that's just like very tangible when as a leader, you know, entrepreneur, oftentimes you're a leader. Right. So.
00:24:00
Speaker
I talk about this with people on your team. If you're just ah giving someone tasks to do and they don't feel any more, you know, um ownership and there's nothing juicy about it for them to be aspiring to you're going to end up with people who start doing the bare minimum, right? And are unhappy. and And so it it is relevant for every for every facet of life, I think.
00:24:20
Speaker
Yeah, completely, completely. And I think the question becomes like, you know, for us, as we manifest our desires, it's like,
00:24:32
Speaker
am I truly gratitude and appreciation for my manifestation, for my power, of for the men like for what I'm capable of? And that might be a better question rather than like, oh, would will you ever be satisfied? It's like, no actually, i can walk in gratitude and never be satisfied. i can have both the same time.
00:24:59
Speaker
At the same time. Every Tuesday, I send LaLiftoff, a curated email to my list filled with business tips, tricks, tools, deals, and sometimes I even tuck little gifts in there.

00:25:39
Speaker
What's something maybe that you used to believe about and we'll use manifestation or spirituality general terms, but what's something you used to believe about it that maybe now you think is complete BS?
00:25:51
Speaker
Yeah, i used to believe that in it was hard to change beliefs and that there was like a lot of work that you had to do um to change them.
00:26:03
Speaker
um including, and and what's interesting is I still teach the methods and use a lot of the methods that I used in the beginning, like with my clients, for example, repetition of affirmations and writing out over and over and over.
00:26:18
Speaker
I still coach my clients to do that because there's a willingness that's necessary and an understanding of how the mind works through repetition that is necessary.
00:26:30
Speaker
But for me personally, I do not need the writing of a statement and the affirmations in that way to change a belief. I now believe that I can change a belief like that. And because I believe that, it's true for me.
00:26:48
Speaker
yeah So we're always going to get what we believe. And I did not. And but here's the thing. In the beginning, new people to this material, it's challenging for them to believe that it can be that easy. So the the mechanics of moving their meat suit and doing something is enough for them to believe. And ultimately, we want the change for them.
00:27:09
Speaker
And so I still prescribe them to do the writing, even though it's complete BS. Yeah. Yeah, because that alone isn't going to change things. We know that, right? Just looking at a mantra every day isn't going to turn your life into a living miracle. There's so much more required. But as you said, it is a great stepping stone. It's a great you know entry point for people. And so I'm the same way. like I still love mantras, but um ah you know I don't need to write a mantra down 50 times to believe it to be to be so. Yeah.
00:27:42
Speaker
um But if I see something that's, if I notice something really sticky in my subconscious, I might put it up on my board to look at for a few times, you know, few. Totally. And then the question as you become more conscious, because what we're doing with the repetition is we're reprogramming the mind through repetition so that you then start believing it. So if you tell yourself a lie enough.
00:28:03
Speaker
you'll start believing it to be true. You tell yourself something good, a good lie, you're going to believe it, right? But in that when we become more consciously aware in this work, then you can become aware of a mantra, putting it up there to remind you of the mantra and then asking yourself very conscious questions.
00:28:20
Speaker
Am I actually walking in praxis with this? Is my actions a match for the belief that I say that I now hold? Yes or no? And it's very black and white and we can observe ourself In the beginning, it's challenging to observe ourselves. So we take a different role. And I think that that that's a fascinating ah like evolution of consciousness to to watch people to go through. And I know it was for myself. I was like, whoa, wow. like I'm actually witnessing myself. Okay.
00:28:52
Speaker
I'm totally not in alignment with that new belief. What would it look like for me to act if I actually believe that? yeah Great question, by the way. Yeah. And sometimes, i mean, i still I still catch myself doing this to this day and I'm like, oh, I'm ah i'm actually, I say I believe this, but I'm acting right now in the opposite.
00:29:10
Speaker
So what do I need to do? The opposite. And sometimes I'm like, oh, that feels a little scary. Okay, cool. We're on to something. like Totally. Yeah. Totally. And it's that kind of conversation with oneself that's so beautiful because you can course correct in the moment, can't you?
00:29:27
Speaker
You can be like, hmm. Okay. Opposite. Oh, and then go for it. Yeah. You know, you definitely know you're onto something when it's like not comfortable.
00:29:38
Speaker
And then I can hear my mentor's voice and and Bob Proctor in my head going, well, Danielle, do you really believe in what we teach? I'm thinking ah for me, it's always money examples, right? So it's like, you know, oh, I'm, I'm not going to purchase that. Cause I just purchased, like, I'm not going to get those Gucci shoes. Cause I just did this, or I just booked a trip and I can hear Bob going,
00:29:57
Speaker
there you are, this or that. And like, you know, you notice if I believe that money was everywhere, no, I'd say yes to that too. Right. And I'd book first class or, you know. Right. Yeah. That permission slip. And I was thinking about this, ah this year, I really, um I noticed I'd gotten a little off track. And so this year I was like, I'm going I'm going to say yes to the trips and the, you know, the, the invitations that maybe in the past I would have said no to, because I would have thought,
00:30:24
Speaker
it didn't seem practical for one reason or the other, whether that be time or money or whatever. yeah And every time I say yes to the trip, you know, what happens on the other end is tenfold of whatever I expected, whether that be ah monetary, you know, receiving or relationship receiving or energetic receiving.
00:30:44
Speaker
And, and every time it's just, it just tickles me pink every time. I'm still like, ha ha, like, look at that, you know, as if I didn't believe, but like, I love when I can really, you know very quickly look back three days ago, i made this decision and here I am. And um i wish I wish for everyone listening to have the gumption, I'll say, to do just one thing like that. If there's something taunting at you and kind of like pulling at you to just have the faith that you can, that it's, it's it let it be a yes and trust that whatever comes next is what was already for you.
00:31:17
Speaker
Totally. And once you make the decision, like notice how the money shows up, the resources show up, the support that you need to make that happen. But if you but do not make a committed decision, it doesn't show up. So the mistake most people make is like, oh, I'll say yes to that trip when the money does come.
00:31:35
Speaker
ah You've got to say yes first. Yeah. Yeah. And then what happens is we do the things that are needed to make that experience be everything we wanted it to be, right? Like you go you go into the experience in a different mindset.
00:31:49
Speaker
Totally. From that goal achieved, you know, like we were talking about before, that alignment from that place. Yeah. And then all the opportunities. I mean, like imagine if you and I didn't say yes to that first trip.
00:32:01
Speaker
I know. We wouldn't be here today. i know. And then seeing each other in Austin. It's like, yeah, it starts to make a lot of sense when you have, I like to like think of it as like God's eye view or bird's eye view, you know, it's like, ah, okay, there's something bigger going on here.
00:32:18
Speaker
Yeah, there's always something bigger going on. here We just have to let go of the wheel every now and again. Right, right. um Is there a part of your journey? Because obviously you went from being an avid student, I would say, like wanting to absorb all the information and learn, learn,
Continuous Personal Growth
00:32:34
Speaker
learn. And now you're the teacher, right?
00:32:37
Speaker
And you've built this beautiful business out of getting to share these learnings with other people and um and positively impact their lives. Is there a part of the journey that you feel like you're still trying to navigate that you still feel like isn't quite perfect yet?
00:32:50
Speaker
And you can take that in whatever direction you want.
00:32:54
Speaker
Good question. um I, there's a few things I'm,
00:33:04
Speaker
always ah learning about money and next level. Like even where I am now, you know, I'm in a personal situation with a divorce. And I was just saying to my team, it's like, wow, I'm really being asked to believe in what I teach right now and hold invoices that probably for most people would have their head spin and definitely knocked me on my butt when I first started.
00:33:31
Speaker
But then I reminded myself of the truth that we were just talking about. And for that, it's like, you know, sometimes I get in my head going, well, shouldn't you like know better, like you teach this and it's like, well, wait a minute. Yeah, it's easy to feel confident about money when money's in the bank and it's flowing on those levels.
00:33:49
Speaker
But like a true professional keeps a positive attitude and more than positive, it's like the truth of universal laws and how it works when things aren't necessarily going their way. So I've really had to um lean into the teachings, like what I teach truth, and these are like sacred old texts, you know, that I teach and it's it's like not my material, but remind myself.
00:34:15
Speaker
Um, so I would say that the second piece would be leadership, um, as far as team dynamics go. So I've always been a like a do it yourself kind of girl. Like I know i can bet on myself and like, so I can roll up my sleeves and like get it done.
00:34:35
Speaker
um, and I've had in the past a hard time trusting others to do it as well as I could. And so that's an area that I'm consciously expanding always. And I've had some like disaster team moments in the past. And I'm like, I've got like a wound. Like I don't want to make those mistakes again. And I've invested so much money and time in people and resources.
00:35:04
Speaker
And so I feel myself like, oh, like, you know, there's resistance there. um And I'm still very much learning. But, you know, one thing that I would like to celebrate this year in that vein of of learning around leadership is I've hired an incredible woman who has expertise in the areas that I have gaps.
00:35:30
Speaker
So in the past, I thought that I just needed to like develop this part of me of like, around team building and like, and you know, and, and instead I was like, you know what, I'm going to do what I love doing and that's teaching and developing clients into their best of possible version.
00:35:50
Speaker
And the team stuff, I'm going to partner with this woman, Dana, and have her shine and really lift her up like I do my clients.
00:36:01
Speaker
And so I've taken a different lens and I see my team like clients in a way, like, how I develop them. And so now i don't need to like keep them accountable or, you know, it's just a different role. i don't.
00:36:12
Speaker
And so I've taken a new approach, but I'm definitely. ah You know, i've I've read so many books about like, because I'm an A-type personality. For me, it's easy to motivate A-type people. But if they're not self-driven like that, I'm like, so baffled by it. Yeah.
00:36:29
Speaker
Yeah. I deal with a lot of this with my clients as well. And it's so common for leaders to be ah self-motivated. That's how we got to where we are, right?
00:36:40
Speaker
um But sometimes there is a disconnect between people who aren't as intrinsically self-motivated or even just people who haven't done as much of the personal development work as maybe you have. And so that's so common. And I love this realization that you came to that said,
00:36:54
Speaker
You know, I don't have to necessarily, you know, it's not that you can't always be getting better. Of course, we always want to be becoming, you know, be be becoming a better human. And I would never in my wildest dreams believe that that's ever going to stop for you.
00:37:06
Speaker
But to know that I don't have to be the, you know, exemplary salesperson or the exemplary people manager or the exemplary whatever, like I can find, i can notice, you know, what doesn't come as naturally to me and fill the gaps with someone who shines in that area.
00:37:23
Speaker
and think that's a beautiful way to do it. Yeah, you know, I'm reminded of a story of Henry Ford. um He apparently, i think if this is a story that's in Think and Grow Rich.
00:37:34
Speaker
And he had a ah ah massive team. And of course, he had no idea how to create the V8 motor, right? But he had experts that did. And he was once on trial, and they were accusing him of like, basically his lack of knowledge.
00:37:50
Speaker
This is in the the specialized knowledge chapter. I think you're rich. It's my like knowledge brain coming back for reference, but he, there's a story in there and he says, yeah, you're right. I don't know how to do all these things, but what I do have is at the tip of my fingers, I can press a button.
00:38:09
Speaker
And if you have a question for me that you'd want answers, I can press a button and get someone on the phone that has that answer. Yeah. And I think of that often because I think a lot of us as entrepreneurs or business owners or even in your career, we think we've got to do all the things.
00:38:24
Speaker
yeah And is that necessary true necessarily true? And could you be spending your time more wisely developing in your passions, in your areas of expertise and and go way further and have people like shine in their own lane? So, yeah. yeah Yeah.
00:38:42
Speaker
I think that's why entrepreneurs get the bad rap for, but you know, ah that they're not great. They're not great CEOs, that they're not great leaders. And I don't necessarily know that that's true.
00:38:52
Speaker
However, i i see where it comes from. Like I see the pattern of entrepreneurs tend to be idea people and they're doers and they don't always come with great management skills. They don't always come, you know, with a lot of experience in developing people. And so they either have to be willing to do the work and, and actually notice that that's something they can shine in or,
00:39:11
Speaker
be willing to get out of the way and put the people in place that are going to help. So, um, I love all that. That makes that, that thank you for sharing. Thank you. Yeah. Is there a boundary? Like if you had to look back at Danielle five years ago, is there a boundary that you would give her permission to set in your life? So many, like I can feel myself blushing at the moment. Um, I actually did the math and was like, okay, 43.
00:39:39
Speaker
um Yeah. So we're talking like 2020. Yeah, ah for sure. i mean, i fuck i ah yeah i didn't have boundaries, like good boundaries, um ah especially like in regards to my marriage. you know i was willing to let anything slide.
00:40:06
Speaker
And there's a real impact to that. I became such a good enabler where I thought I was helping Yep. Covering up messes. ah And like had absolutely no boundaries around like my own space, time, what I permitted in my life.
00:40:27
Speaker
Nothing. Like I, um it's actually remarkable, Tiffany, when I think back of what I allowed. And boundaries, you know,
00:40:40
Speaker
They're for you, sure, but they sure do help everyone else as well, don't they? You know? Yeah. um So I'd give her permission to speak, to speak up when she knew that she was being taken advantage of, to speak up and say, like, you just can't do that. Those things in my presence, in my home, like our home.
00:41:04
Speaker
um It won't be tolerated anymore. And um just out of respect for myself and my daughter more than anything. And then of course, the the person that i ah love deeply. And I felt like I was doing an ape, like I was fixing and enabling because I loved him so much and I wanted to keep him safe.
00:41:24
Speaker
It's such a bizarre thing to when you realize you're in a codependent relationship. yeah But I would give her permission to do what she knew in her heart. But like, felt like it was betrayal if she set those boundaries.
00:41:37
Speaker
And she was, and I value, one of my values is loyalty. I valued being loyal to my husband more than being loyal to myself.
00:41:48
Speaker
oh My throat, I just got like, felt like I was being strangled. Yeah. Yeah. um What a crazy thing.
00:41:58
Speaker
like Yeah. So I, I'd give her a whole bunch of permission on that. To butt herself first. Yep.
00:42:10
Speaker
Yeah. I think- And allow someone else's journey to be their journey. Sure. Like, I don't need to save him. i don't need to make sure that he is okay. Yeah. Like, that's not my place. If someone asked me on the weekend and she looked at me and she said, what?
00:42:27
Speaker
Would it have been so bad if he wasn't okay? I was like, oh my gosh. like But she said, like because like maybe that was his journey and that's how he would have learned or like changed or taken taken responsibility for his life. you know It's like, it never it never crossed my mind.
00:42:48
Speaker
Well, and that's that's a hard reflection because then you go down the path of, did I interfere with their development? you know um And that's- Yeah, their journey.
00:43:00
Speaker
Yeah. like yeah Almost like, don't want to say like playing God, but like definitely, like I'm like molding situations yeah to get the outcome that I thought was right.
00:43:15
Speaker
Yeah. Which was keeping him so bizarre. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But so now moving forward, five years from now in the future tense, can you see how that's going to make a major impact on how you show up in future dynamics, relationships, all of that?
Reflections on Relationships and Boundaries
00:43:36
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I learned so much and I learned it in the relationship as well. So when I got, ah when that was complete and I left, um like I was a woman that was setting boundaries and I had to in order to to leave as well. And um communication has become a very important component for me. And um I'm in the relationships that I'm in now yeah um are very conscious.
00:44:08
Speaker
Like the the communication that I have, if I notice something, I don't wait. Like it's like, ha, i there's something here and it's like, this needs to be talked about. There's no like, no, let's...
00:44:21
Speaker
leave it for later. It's like, we can take the two minutes because the relationship's important. And yes, if we need a session, like, a to talk about this, yeah you know, on date night or whatever, we can certainly do that, but we're going to address it now. So there's nothing that gets put under the rug.
00:44:38
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um It's so beautiful, actually, ah to give each other permission to um call out when we feel that something's off.
00:44:54
Speaker
Yeah. Like energy-wise you know, in a boundary or saying something and, like, not being in integrity. I mean, I've been called out. i When we were in Austin, I actually got caught out called out – called out by Um, the, my, the friend that I'm hanging around, um, he said, you know, you said you'd call me. And remember when we were at the bar with drinks, we were having and the cocktails after and we had come back, but we had got a ride from Karen.
00:45:21
Speaker
Right. So we were in the car. So I thought, ah, it's like rude. It's like rude to like call or leave a message. But I had texts. I said, I'll call you. And then I, my plan was like, oh I'll just step off to the side and like give him a quick call and dah, dah,
00:45:37
Speaker
And I didn't do it. And we stayed down there. And like like that other person came over and then the girls came over. And so there was like this dynamic. I tried to explain. He's like, yeah.
00:45:47
Speaker
And you said you would. And was like, you're right. I'm out of integrity. And like, but we talked about it in the moment, like, you know, when I got back to the room and it was all fine. But it's like, it's conversations like that, that are really empowering. It's like on both sides. So, and I do the same, you know? Yeah.
00:46:04
Speaker
Yeah. I think there's so much conditioning and I'm from the South. So very, don't know what it's like, um, where, where, where you grew up, but where I grew up, there was a lot of good girl conditioning. I wrote about it in ah a chapter I have in a book, but, and don't rock the boat, right? No pun intended. um If you're any of this footage, I'm recording this podcast from the yacht, but don't rock the boat. Like don't, you know, don't make,
00:46:29
Speaker
Don't make anything into a bigger deal than it needs to be made into. And so what happens is you suppress your feelings, you suppress your needs, your desires, and you abandon yourself.
00:46:40
Speaker
And so I'm definitely still unlearning all of that in future relationships because I've had so many dynamics where it was not received well for someone to – say something like, hey, this kind of bothered me, you know, without it being this huge, the idea that you guys can just have this open and any dynamic and any relationship moving forward, the idea that we can have an open, honest flow of communication and nobody has to take it so personally is a beautiful thing.
00:47:07
Speaker
Totally. it's and And to understand that it's like, for ah both of our growth. Right. And like- And for the betterment of the relationship. Yeah. The purpose of the relationship is growth.
00:47:20
Speaker
Yeah. And so it's like, and every bit of that is like an invitation to grow more. And so, yeah. I love that. So five years from now, I'm super proud at the way that I communicate and the way that I am really only choosing conscious relationships with anyone moving forward.
00:47:41
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. It's a powerful thing, right? Powerful thing. And it does – just like we talked about at the beginning of this this episode, we were talking about how sometimes you have to do the baby steps and eventually those baby steps become easy and easy. They're gateway, right? I think it's the same with the dynamics we understand about relationships and using our voice and boundaries. Like – We have to go through the fire sometimes to get to where we recognize where we're even out of alignment or out of integrity or not living up to our fullest potential so that we can right the ship. And um so just know that if you're in a hard season right now while you're listening, that's okay. You're exactly where you're supposed to be. And awareness is key, right?
00:48:19
Speaker
Yeah, absolutely. And it's in those hard moments that so many of the gifts come. It's like, you know, it's a season and it passes and there's so much beauty on the other side.
00:48:31
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. There's the famous ah quote. I don't know who originally said this, but Sarah Blakely had it on a mug and on Instagram, but it says rock bottoms will teach you things that mountaintops never will.
00:48:43
Speaker
so true. so So true. And the the most amazing thing about being at the bottom is that there's only one way. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just got to move your feet.
00:48:54
Speaker
That's right. Yeah. Oh my goodness. Danielle, thank you so much for showing us, you know, what's possible when you just trust and, um, and let self alignment lead the way and choose alignment over approval. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing. And you're, you're living embodiment of that. So thank you for sharing all of that with us.
00:49:16
Speaker
Tiffany, thank you. It's an absolute pleasure to be on your show and to see you again. i know there's many more of these in our future. So thank you for being such a bright light and the work that you do in the world.
