She showed up to one of my classes carrying everything.

Not a mat bag. I mean everything. The weight of everyone else’s needs. The habit of shrinking. The exhaustion that comes from spending years making sure every person around you is okay while quietly falling apart yourself.

Her name is Diandra. If you're on this list, you've received an email from her. When we first met, she was stuck in a pattern I see more than I wish I did: Brilliant woman, generous to a fault, no real boundaries with family, no real sense of where everyone else ended and she began.

She took classes with me. Then she came to Tuscany.

Something cracked open in Italy.

Not broke. Cracked open.

The way a seed does before it becomes something.

She came home and she went deeper. We worked together inside the Mind Body Intensive.  This is where we go into the body, the patterns, the nervous system, and the story you have been living that was never actually yours to carry.

She started rebuilding, physically and spiritually. Her home, her relationships, and her sense of what she was allowed to want. She set boundaries with family that she had never been able to hold before. She started moving through the world with a different posture. Not louder or harder, just more herself.

Today Diandra is my Chief of Staff.

The woman who once struggled to hold a boundary for herself now helps hold the infrastructure of my entire business. That is what happens when a woman stops surviving and starts living inside her actual power.

This is what the Mind Body Intensive is for.

This program is not for people who want a quick fix or a course to complete. This is for the woman who knows something needs to change at a root level. She is done with surface work, and is ready to be witnessed and challenged and held while she does the hardest and most important work of her life.

The MBI is six months of private work with me. Weekly sessions, customized, human-created workbook. Daily support. In-person sessions with a vetted practitioner in your city. You end with a retreat here in the Dominican Republic as your culmination, where you can see and feel the physical proof of how far you have come.

Two spots are open right now.

If Diandra’s story sounds familiar and you felt something reading it, that feeling is information. Do not ignore it.

If you want to know what 6 months with me could look like, book a sample session at the link below.

A guy told me the other day that "8 billion people would love to live like [I] do.

With love,

Daniele

Is it a Risk or a Decision?
    Hey fam, I want to talk about something we don't talk about enough. Those of us who are living the lives that other women are scrolling past did not get there because we were fearless. We got here because at some point we stopped calling things "risks" and started calling them "decisions." There is a difference. A risk feels like something could go wrong, and it puts you in the mindset of ...
I have been sitting on this for a while.
Dear Collective,   I want to tell you something I do not say out loud very often.   I built Yinsa in 2018 from the inside of my own mess. It was not after I healed or once I had it all figured out. It was while I was still in it. It was while I was managing chronic pain and CPTSD and  a son I was raising mostly on my own in New York City. While I was trying to hold all of it together and look l...
