to want less.

Three hundred episodes on ambition, demoralization, and ritual — what it actually takes to do big things without disappearing. Short enough for a commute. Research-backed enough to argue with.

The show runs on the same five phases as everything else I do. Most people can name the one they're in within about ninety seconds.

01

"What do I actually want now?"

Discernment

02

"How do I protect it?"

Boundaries

03

"How do I actually do it?"

Follow Through

04

"How do I claim it?"

Ownership

05

"How do I become her?"

Identity

  • I’m all about planning and goals. This podcast is a must listen! I really enjoy all the practical things I can learn and implement. Thank you for all your wisdom!

    Jen McGraw

  • Danielle’s routine to ritual method definitely blends strategy with purpose. It's an excellent reminder to make a plan even when I don’t feel like I have time. This was the kick in the butt I needed!

    Chrissy Frakes

  • This is my new favorite podcast! The episodes aren’t too long, and they are full of useful ideas and tips that are easy to try. I also love the smart but playful tone. You can tell she is a professor, but one I would actually want to take a class from.

    “The Next Chapter”

  • Danielle brings a fresh, upbeat perspective to goal creation and even just balancing “all the things”. I love that she pushes “doing the thing” and not just sitting in planning mode. Highly recommend for any mama feeling scattered or overwhelmed.
