How to Turn Life's Pain into a Path of Meaning and Joy with Danielle LaPorte

Welcome to the One You Feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have. Quotes like, garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true. And yet, for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear.

We see what we don't have instead of what we do. We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort to make a life worth living.

This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction. How they feed their good wolf. How many times have you been angry about something and immediately jumped to, but I should be grateful, or disappointed by someone, and rush straight to, well, everyone's doing their best? Danielle Laporte, who's a speaker, a poet, a painter, and member of Oprah Super Soul 100, has a phrase for this that I absolutely love. She calls it putting spiritual sweetener on it.
