About this listen
How do you feel about setting goals?
I’ve heard people say they feel energized, depressed, confused, terrified, pumped, ambivalent, lost...or all of the above. Here’s what I’ve realized: Our relationship to success is inside-out. When we make our New Year’s resolutions, bucket lists, big plans, or weekly to-dos, we’re hoping that when we "arrive" we’ll be fulfilled. Our hearts will swell as we cross the finish line, and then we can finally relax and savor our happiness. Except more often than not, that doesn’t happen. Even when we meet our objectives, we wonder if we aimed too low, or took too long, or if we could have done it better. And when we fall short, we come down on ourselves like a ton of bricks. So we make the next goal, hoping it’ll give us everything the last one didn’t.
It’s a self-defeating cycle that’s burning us out. How do we change it?
Here’s the whole cosmic, life-liberating revelation:
You’re not actually chasing the goal. You’re chasing the feeling that you hope attaining the goal will give you.
Every craving, aspiration, or goal you have - from what you eat, wear, and own, to all the things you want to create or do - is driven by a desire to feel a certain way. That’s it. And that’s where the Desire Map process starts. In The Desire Map Experience, I’ll share a process that you’ll use to transform the way you relate to every aspect of your life. It’s not about learning a new time-budgeting method, filling out a questionnaire, or making another list to stick on your fridge. Instead, you’ll get crystal clear about how you want to feel about everything you do. The Desire Map is holistic life planning. Here’s how it works:
- We’ll uncover your core desired feelings - they’ll be your new North Star for living a soul-centered life
- You’ll learn how to identify expectations you’ve picked up from your parents, the Joneses, the media, or the imaginary "they" you’re always trying to impress
- We’ll use guided reflections to go deep into what your soul is trying to tell you through your core desired feelings
- I’ll show you how to tune into critical signals from your instincts, your body, and the people around you
- We’ll apply Desire Mapping to all the major areas of your life - livelihood & lifestyle, body & wellness, creativity & learning, relationships & society, and essence & spirituality
- You’ll learn how to create practical plans with daily, weekly, and monthly actions that will bring more and more of your core desired feelings into your life
- I’ll be sharing poetry, stories, and inspirational truths to help you stay in touch with the sweetness of life
You’ll make this process your own. It’s not a one-size-fits-all deal. You’ll create your Desire Map in the way that lets your soul speak loud and clear in every day of your life.
Feeling good along the way to your goals doesn’t mean you won’t need to work your ass off - but when you do, you’ll do the work joyously. You’ll be creating goals that are life-affirming, nourishing, practical, forgiving, and true to who you are.

Personable and intimate
I listened to this audiobook over the course of 6-7 weeks, to help me focus my business and personal goals. I wanted to get away from “resolutions” and embrace a more intuitive way of planning.
The exercises were perfect to practice what Danielle teaches. The material was actionable, useful. But most of all, I felt the way Danielle delivered the content — her soothing voice, her cadence, her style — helped me better understand and connect with the material.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of “the law of attraction”, but in a more personal and less sensationalistic (?) way.

Great book to work on desires and goals
Loved this audible. I’m going to grab the hard copy to do all the exercises.

Great process! must read to revamp your goals!
I loved the idea of this book, which is to set goals with relation to how you want to feel instead of what you want to GET or HAVE. The process for determining the desired feelings is extensive and pretty helpful, and I really felt GOOD while listening to this. It was an audio book, so it felt weird stopping listening to work on it on the side, but its an important process, so it can take about a month to figure it out. I liked thinking while listening, but I think I would have prefered to have a paper version, or at least get a workbook with the questions in it. That would have been the best. Also I really hated the music between sections, it was painful to listen to, so sharp. but at least i was able to attempt to skip thru it.

Perfect for Life Transitions
A friend recommended this heart-centred book and I devoured it, pen and notebook in hand. It was well-timed for a major life shift. One complaint: it is punctuated with some of the most obnoxious, ill-matched music imagineable. No idea why, but I kept on, as the content is rich and helpful.

Outdated gender constructs
I really wanted to love this book. The concept is great, however, it is needlessly long, rambling, and has far too many personal anecdotes. That being said, I still made a point to trudge through it - until the author dived into outdated, gendered constructs such as “masculine and feminine” energy. Totally unnecessary and off putting.
