Oprah says author and entrepreneur Danielle LaPorte “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.”

With her new book, The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul, LaPorte speaks about goal setting from a new perspective. With the process of desire mapping, she guides readers toward the essence of their life goals - the core desired feeling.

Listen to Kelly Howell and Danielle discuss why affirmations can mess you up, how to set heart-driven - as opposed to ego-driven - goals, how desire meets action and how to be fierce, but flexible.
