A review by alannajane
The Desire Map by Danielle LaPorte

5.0

I bought this book and audiobook very soon after it came out - and just couldn’t get into it at all. I found Danielle LaPorte both inspiring and deeply irritating back then! I knew there was HUGE healing in this work, but I wasn’t ready.

Fast forward a few years, and I am deeply in love with and uber grateful for this book+workbook. I journalled hard, looked underneath all of my passed pain and trauma and joyful experiences and found the woman that I have always known that I would grow into. Plus, I found a recipe for creating the life I really desire, but in a way that makes so much more sense to me than SMART goals and all of that corporate, masculine bullshit that was never designed to leak outside of the boardroom. I just needed to have healed enough for this to demonstrate just how genius it is. So incredibly grateful that I picked this “course” back up and did all the work to journal the workbook as profoundly as I did. Now I’m super stoked to hold my 5 core-desired feelings intimately in my heart for the next year (or so), and see just how much I can show up for my dreams.

PS. Also really digging Danielle LaPorte’s new podcast!
