Return to your heart. Choose your feelings. Create your life with intention.
Life is better when you're pursuing your Core Desired Feelings. By listening to your heart and getting clear on how you really want to feel, you're able to live in alignment with your deepest values and principles. Instead of struggling to feel satisfied and fulfilled, you'll have a clear road map (that you design!) for how to get what you really want in life.
Life is always changing, and our Core Desired Feelings can change over time, too. That's why it's so important to return to the Desire Mapping process regularly - checking in with your heart lets you discover what may have changed, anywhere you're not moving towards your Core Desired Feelings, and how to get yourself back on track.
When you join the full Desire Map course, you'll get access to the heart-centered tools and support you need to access the power of your Core Desired Feelings and transform your relationships, career, and life for the better!
You’ll find it beneficial to Desire Map once or twice a year: your birthday, the New Year, big transitions, so you can refresh and stay connected to your Core Desired Feelings. Danielle’s delivery is both practical and poetic, so after you’ve gone through the course the first time, you’ll probably find yourself dropping into a video here and there for comfort and clarity. Since Desire Mapping is a life practice, we’ve built this course in a way that you can keep tapping into it for how-to’s and encouragement.
The full video course runs 3 hours — 25 videos, sequenced as Part 1: DISCOVERING Your Core Desired Feelings, Part 2: CLARIFYING with Your Core Desired Feelings + Part 3, PLANNING with Your Core Desired Feelings and Part 4: LIVING Your Core Desired Feelings. Danielle sets up every exercise with a philosophical overview and offers pointers for each component and its companion worksheet.
From deep inquiry to imaginal exercises, there are 24 worksheets in total + 3 tear-out cue cards for some of the key practices. You can download each individually.
Hang out with Danielle via offline videos, create custom playlists, and screencast to your TV via Chromecast, AirPlay, and Bluetooth.
The WeCommune online community houses a Desire Map “room” –– a place to come together in kindness and with shared intention, to receive support for Desire Mapping. It’s a caring space to pose questions, share stories, offer support, and cultivate community. Danielle and dozens of her Desire Map Facilitators + Coaches will be there every step of the way!
Purchasers of The Desire Map Course receive 25% off of their first order in Danielle’s online SHOP, where you can pick up The Desire Map Day Planner, #Truthbomb decks, and meditation kits!
This course is normally sold for $399.99, but as a special thank you for taking the journey through Part 1 with us, we want to make it easy to join Danielle for the rest of the course and learn how to truly apply your Core Desired Feelings to your career, relationships, and everyday life.

Your Core Desired Feelings are how you want to feel most of the time—your most preferred states of being. They’re life-affirming feelings—positive and expansive. They’re qualities of the heart—expressions of love and vitality. Your Core Desired Feelings move you toward your Highest Self.
Align with your Core Desired Feelings—every day, in all of your choices, especially the big ones––and you’ll be living and giving, with intention. Everything we want is in that wakefulness. It’s the power of heart intelligence.

As part of this course, you’ll get full access to Danielle’s video-guided meditation, THE HEART-CENTERING PRACTICE –– which could become a daily reference point for you.
The HEART-CENTERING Practice is medicine for our nervous systems. When you’re not feeling the way you want to feel, this practice helps you generate the heart energy necessary to embody your Core Desired Feelings. It’s a very simple ritual that draws on your breath, compassion, presence, gratitude, and your personal Core Desired Feelings to help you get back to your heart intelligence when you’re feeling unfocused or anxious.
When you create from the heart, it changes everything… Now that you’ve identified your Core Desired Feelings(!) we use those to as the GPS to refine your life vision. We go through a process of examining your current––and ideal, “inner world attitudes” and “outer-world engagement.” You’re making space for your CDFs to emerge in your life.
We'll explore:
We live in a goal-obsessed culture, but this step of Desire Mapping is where set intentions without the grind. We goal-vet before we goal-set. Because the journey has to feel the way you want the destination to feel. Danielle teaches you new frameworks for planning your life and schedule in ways that are rooted in your heart-intelligence.
We'll dive into:
Having CDFs is a leap toward a life you love, and.... you have to INTEGRATE them. In ritual. Every day. Practically. Powerfully.

Printable Cue Cards:
"I wish I had The Desire Map when I was a teen. Core Desired Feelings… joy, freedom, confidence, peace, clarity. Same as now and I’m 50! I didn't know my Core Desired Feelings could be a compass for the life I wanted to live back then. What a gift Desire Map would have been. Grateful to have it now. "
"As a lifelong perfectionist and achievement addict, I've recently met my match as a stay-at-home mother trying to find my purpose. The Desire Map has been transformative in my day-to-day life. When I started living based on how I wanted to feel rather than as a slave to my pointless to-do list, my life changed. I want to feel stronger, so I run. I want to be in awe, so I read about the cosmos. I want to be energized, so I REST. I'm a better, happier mother, and friend now that I live my life based on how I want to feel."
"The Desire Map is the only soul-searching path that works with my somewhat Type-A brain. And frankly, the more I read and study and write, the more I realize that I'm what Danielle calls a "creator" - always wanting more, always looking forward. I've been wildly impressed with the impact it has had on my daily thoughts, my increased ability to act with intention and overall happiness."
"When I found The Desire Map and started listening to how I want to feel, things started to turn around. I still work towards what I want (and am still determined to get whatever it is), but now it's with loving kindness towards myself… knowing that as long as I feel good, whatever that may mean to me at the time, I'm going in the right direction."
"Mind. Blown. Never before had I been told to base life choices on the way I want to feel. I never considered how much control I can personally have over my *future* feelings by making the right choices in my actions here in the present."

​"Danielle's ​deep clarity and realness are a healing combination—and it’s right on time for our culture​."
"The heart has its own nervous system. Cardiologists call it 'the brain within the heart.' When measuring the signals that the brain is sending to the heart, it quickly becomes clear that the heart does not always do what the brain wants. The heart does what it wants. In terms of the nervous system, the heart is a complete free agent and moves to its own beat. Sometimes it beats faster, sometimes it doesn’t. It is completely dependent on what its feeling.
The science gets even cooler; When the heart sends signals to the brain — the brain obeys the heart –– but the heart does not have to obey the brain. Remember: our heart is where the wisdom is.”
