Dani Beinstein is back on the podcast today, gracing us with her ever-growing wisdom and grace. The topic du jour is change, from the inside out, and adapting to life as it is showing up right now.

In some ways, change is inevitable— “the only constant is change”, as the cliche goes. Yet, on the other hand, letting go of challenging behaviors and patterns can be incredibly difficult and sometimes completely impossible. Where do these truths meet?

If you’ve ever woken up and looked in the mirror and felt tired of your own self-deceptions, this episode is for you. It’s not a discussion about how to improve productivity or how to break old habits— this is a soul-deep discussion of who we really are at our core, and how we can come into deeper communion with that truth.

Corinne and Danielle discuss:

• Danielle’s near death experience, and how it shifted her orientation from being “ethereal, to rooted”
• How relationship has also changed her perspective on the world, and the natural world
• The role of the body in change, and how cultural conditioning has alienated the body
• Danielle’s belief that we get the lessons we need, in whatever form they will be most effective
• Soul contracts, and how to explore them
• Resisting the urge to reach for certainty, and to rush through life
• How we are all “renting”, at the end of the day
• Danielle’s love for her dogs, and how they open up the exploration of loving with the awareness that this too shall pass
• The role of resourcing ourselves to be steady through massive upheaval
• The power of ritual to initiate, or guide us through, radical change
• Danielle’s role in interpreting charts to see where the soul contracts and karmic patterns live
• Outer planets— Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, Pluto— and what they might mean in an astrological chart
• Looking at the role of the massive, tectonic, technological shifts in our society today
• Danielle’s experience coming of age in the time of the creation of the modern internet
• The Alphabet Versus the Goddess by Leonard Shlain
• Rasputin by Douglas Smith
• How we’ve lost interest in what is true
• Using technology with intention
