We're All Being Initiated, All of the Time
About this episode
Danielle LaPorte discusses the concept of modern initiation through personal experiences in relationships.
You got small so you could learn how powerful you truly are. Every relationship, every betrayal, every "what was I thinking" moment… it's not punishment. It's a form of modern initiation. You are not behind. You're being initiated. You've loved people who didn't love you back the way you deserved. You've stayed longer than you should have. You've given the benefit of the doubt—and then wondered why you did. In this episode, Danielle shares a personal story—raw, funny, honest—about a dating app exchange that challenged her standards. What if every relationship that confused you, every situation that blindsided you, every "what was I thinking" moment wasn't punishment—but initiation? If you've ever questioned your discernment after a hard experience. If you've done the work and still wonder why certain things keep showing up. If you want to know that you can trust yourself again… Press play.
