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

All Inclusive vs. Villa: What I Learned at Moon Palace Punta Cana
I just got back from a Fora fam trip at Moon Palace Punta Cana, and I have a lot of feelings. Let me start with what this resort does well, because it does a lot well. Kids stay free. That alone changes the math for families. It's the biggest resort in Punta Cana, and on price it comes in much better than the Hyatt Ziva. There's a toddler water park and a big kid water park. The kids camp is tw...
The Challenge I Have Been Working On For YEARS.
Hello Beautiful Souls, At the beginning of this summer, I had a conversation with a woman in the collective that took me out. She was articulate, deeply self-aware, and had clearly done years of inner work. She could name every pattern, trace every wound back to its origin, and describe with surgical precision the exact moment her boundaries collapsed in any given situation.Ā  Then, she said wha...
You Gave Your Students Everything. This Is Yours.
A new scholarship for educators, worth two thousand dollars toward any Yinsa retreat. All of my friends IRL are teachers.Ā  Almost twenty years in a New YorkĀ  classroom taught me something most people never see from the outside. Educators give constantly, all year long, and very rarely does anyone ask them how they are doing. During the pandemic, I realized how much of myself I was giving to my ...
