  Aug 11, 202637 minS3

  For over twenty years, Isabel Serrano thought she was hungry for a thinner body. She wasn't. She was hungry for God – and for love that's bigger than another human being. ✨ Book your free Threshold Assessment with Danielle:https://danielleys.com/calendar In this episode, Danielle sits down with Isabel Serrano — mindset and transformation coach and what her first client once called "a magician, but an angel and a guide" — for a Soul Signature Excavation: a live process of unearthing what the Soul is asking someone to bring forth in the world right now. What emerged is a woman who has been quietly guiding her clients back to God (love, just love) for over a decade — and hasn't yet found the permission to say so out loud.

("Your intuition never gets it wrong. It's like love guiding you somewhere.")• "Make decisions with the heart and plan with the mind" "There was something else that was hungry — and it was not my body. It was my heart.

  030. Don't Stay in the Fake Safe Place — Aga Nowak on What Actually Heals (Pt. 2)

  Aug 4, 202626 minS3

  She answered the cliffhanger. And what she said was more honest than most healing teachers dare to be. Aga Nowak doesn't want to work with the women who already know they need to focus on themselves. She wants the ones who are still looking at the other person — still cooking in the warm comfort of being understood, not yet willing to ask the harder question: who am I, now that I'm free? Because that was her. ✨ Book your free Threshold Assessment with Danielle:https://danielleys.com/calendar In this episode, Danielle and Aga Nowak — nature guide, animal communicator, and what she calls a "wayfinder of the return" — complete the Soul Signature Excavation that began last week.

  029. What Nature Sees That Therapy Misses — Soul Signature Excavation w/ Aga Nowak (Pt. 1)

  Jul 28, 202644 minS3

  She left the relationship. Eight years ago. And she still didn’t know who she was.Aga Nowak grew up in a small town in Poland — climbing trees, swimming in rivers, building secret missions with her friends, surrounded by animals and open land so naturally that she didn’t even register it as something special. Then adulthood happened. A nearly two-decade relationship built on control. A voice that got quieter every year. And then the moment she left — finally, breathtakingly free — only to discover she had no idea what to do with all her freedom.✨ Book your free Threshold Assessment with Danielle:https://danielleys.com/calendarIn this episode, Danielle sits with Aga Nowak — nature guide and wayfinder — for a Soul Signature Excavation: a live excavation of the wisdom inside someone’s life and work, guided by Danielle's Infinite GLOW model (Gather, Let Go, Open Gaps, Weave).

It is the foundation for everything else.This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation.

  028. Victoria McMahon (Part 2): Where the Vision Takes Shape

  Jul 21, 202625 minS3

  She’s the last surviving founder of the circle she’s been trying to recreate. That realization arrived mid-sentence. And it changed everything that came after. Ready to stop accumulating and start integrating? The Art of Being Whole is a 28-day self-paced journey — 20 minutes a day — to gently reconnect with your Whole Self, shift your relationship with discomfort, and let clarity arise from the inside out. https://learn.danielleys.com/the-art-of-being-whole/order/ In Part 2 of this Soul Signature Excavation, Victoria McMahon and Danielle pick up in the wake of a grief neither of them saw coming — the grief of being the last one standing, and the mission it carries. What follows is what happens when the excavation lands: the vision begins to form, the offering takes shape, and the conversation moves from the chasm to the bridge. Start with Part 1 (IS-027) if you haven’t listened yet. In this episode: • The grief revelation landing — and why being the last surviving founder of the original circle changes what she’s building now • What makes the Women’s Wisdom Circle different: designed around commitment, not easy access • 1.0 before 2.0 — why Victoria builds her own bridge to herself first, before she can hold it for others • The challenge of bringing forward something that’s fully yours — when your instinct is always to collaborate • The structure taking shape: six weeks, three pillars, an entry point that doesn’t demand everything at once • Victoria names her business identity live: “I’m an Embodiment Geek” • The four final questions: biggest mistake, unique teaching method, how clients feel, first color • Making requests to the unseen forces — and the Pillars of Creation: where there’s enough raw material, stars are born “In my desire to build the bridge to others, the work for others is building their bridge back to themselves.” — Victoria McMahon Timestamps: [00:00] The grief revelation landing — and what it means to be the last one carrying it [01:20] “It’s craving a new iteration” — commitment-based community vs. easy access [05:30] “Let’s call it in” — structuring 1.0 before 2.0 [07:00] The intro offer: six weeks, three pillars, a bridge to the longer container [12:00] “Victoria McMahon, The Embodiment Geek” — the business identity arriving [17:00] “Not remembering who they are” — the root cause, and the answer she won’t give yet [20:30] The Pillars of Creation: where there’s enough raw material, stars are born [21:20] Making requests to the unseen forces — the final layer of the work Find Victoria McMahon: Website: victoriamcmahon.com Podcast: Co-host of YSM Conversations (with Danielle YS) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6vyxu13ABtAYxEgGYa30Ju?si=8rDgP4y7Taq6O9BZDiJR4Q Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ysm-conversations/id1896763775 Subscribe to Inner Space: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2LK18nsoTVqT0Uup11CePC Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inner-space/id1699899159 --- About Danielle YS Danielle YS is a Threshold Guide for the Edge of the Unknown — helping mission-driven women through the Crossings of life so they develop Threshold Fluency and learn to meet any threshold, any ending, any Unknown, from the inside out.
