    d-aboutDanielle LaPorte is my homegirl.

    I first discovered Miss D when my gal-pal Keris hooked me up with a copy of her book Style Statement - FYI: it’s awesome x 100 go buy it – then she went and set up White Hot Truth, a daily helping of dee-liciously sweet awesome sauce.

    Miss D’s the chief editrix of White Hot Truth, she jams with entrepreneurs and creative types helping them to rock their careers and she speaks to audiences about liberating their authentic power in life and work – she’s a total inspir-o girl – come meet her.

    White Hot Truth is a truly kick-ass treat in my inbox each day – what made you set it up, and how do you keep the content so fresh and relevant every single day?
    Why thank you, darling. I keep it fresh by writing really late at night when I’m exhausted and under my own pressure to be brilliant before sunrise. I remember that it’s my honesty that means the most to me and others. Before I hit “publish” I ask, how can this be better, more real, more USEFUL?

    I started WhiteHotTruth.com because it was due time to free my voice. It’s also a lab for my next book…same title.

    What’s your White Hot Truth?
    Love is light. God is Love. Intuition is Queen. Cash is King.

    Your book Style Statement is incredz are there any plans for a White Hot Truth book?
    yes – see above. I’m trying to find the right cabin to hole up in to writer my magnus opus of White Hot coolness.

    As a kick-ass Sassy Minx, I have a hard time dealing with the ‘feminist’ label, you are both a whole lot of sass and tres minxy in the best possible way, what are your thoughts on the term feminist, and would you consider yourself to be one?
    I’m a humanist above all. I think women devalue their own power – and that power is massively cosmic and encompassing. If we don’t set it free ourselves then the old games of ‘who’s on top?’ will continue.

    What five tunes would be on a Danielle/White Hot Truth soundtrack?

    Alleluia by Leonard Cohen, sung by kd lang
    My Love Is on Fire (Earth Wind & Fire, I think), sung by Joan Osborne
    Eyes/Ocean by Shiela Chandra
    My Heart… Is Beating Like a Hammer by Metric
    Rapture by Antony & The Johnsons

    What makes you jump-in-the-air happy?
    My 5 year boy is JOY ITSELF. There is no feeling in the world like running to each other for a squeeze.

    What’s your motto for life?

    1) Love everyone. Trust few. Paddle your own canoe. – unknown
    2) Everything is progress
    3) Don’t stop ’til you get enough.
    4) Talk is cheap.

    What’s a typical day in the life of Danielle?

    sigh with deep gratitude
    snuggle
