QUESTION EVERYTHING

What does it actually mean to live your purpose—and why do so many people feel lost trying to find it? In this episode, NYU Stern professor and Becoming You author Suzy Welch breaks down why popular advice like “follow your passion” and “have it all” often leads to confusion, burnout, and dissatisfaction. Suzy offers a practical, research-backed framework for building a meaningful, productive life. Suzy and Danielle explore values, identity, grief, ambition, motherhood, and why knowing yourself may be the most important skill in a rapidly changing world. In this episode, Suzy shares: Why most people misunderstand what “purpose” actually means The difference between values, virtues, skills, and aptitudes How borrowing values—from parents, partners, or culture—keeps people stuck Why happiness is fleeting, but meaning and productivity endure The research behind living in alignment with your purpose Why “follow your passion” is often harmful career advice How economic viability plays a critical role in fulfillment The myth of being a multihyphenate all at once—and why focus matters What Suzy calls the “Cowbell Syndrome” (and why you have to choose) Why you can’t have it all at the same time—and why that realization is freeing How motherhood and career ambition collide biologically and culturally The difference between a successful life and a meaningful one (and why they’re not separate) Why consistency is key to professional success How knowing yourself creates adaptability in an unpredictable world Why becoming who you are is a lifelong process, not a finish line Check out Suzy’s book Becoming You Follow Suzy on Instagram @suzywelchSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if psychic ability isn’t rare, it’s actually universal? World-renowned psychic medium and author Laura Lynne Jackson joins Danielle to explain why intuition, signs, and spiritual communication are innate gifts we all possess, and how to access them without relying on a medium. She breaks down the concept of a “team of light,” the role of creativity as divine communication, and how spirituality can make us more resilient in real life. In this episode, Laura shares: How we all have psychic and intuitive abilities Her meaning of a "team of light," which includes God energy, spirit guides, and loved ones/ancestors who have crossed. Why signs are real, specific, and co-created, not coincidences How creativity is a portal to the other side Why our spirit guides help steer us toward our highest path, not necessarily our easiest path. How failure is often a soul-level teaching tool and can be contracted for a higher purpose. Our soul relationships continue after death and often become stronger once a loved one crosses. Why we don’t have just one soulmate, multiple soul connections can appear across forms and lifetimes. That manifesting requires two overlooked steps: purge negative beliefs and restore balance before asking.
