Sexy Magical Women – Danielle LaPorte

Danielle LaPorte is proof that being true to yourself and honestly sharing your innate talents, passions and personality with the world is more valuable than any type of formal education or training.

Danielle, for those of you who don’t already know of her, is on paper an author, speaker, entrpreneur and blogger. But this description doesn’t do this entrancing woman justice. It is difficult to describe Danielle LaPorte through words. She needs to be experienced, as what defines her and her success is her self-expression of who she is. She is outspoken, spiritual, feminine, authentic, creative and her writing is truly magical and inspiring.

Danielle LaPorte does not conform, and this non-conformity does not come from a rebellious nor an angry place. It comes from a beautiful space within her where she is so in touch with her spirituality and consciousness and is not shy to share it with the world in the hopes of inspiring and reawakening others.

Check out some videos of Danielle to see her magic firsthand.

Her style

Danielle co-authored a book Style Statement: Live By Your Own Design and in this book she defined her Style Statement as Sacred Dramatic.

What does this mean?

In this book, the style statement is defined as the “two-word compass that helps you make more confident choices in life — from your wardrobe to your relationships, your living room to your career plans.”

Watch this insightful video clip of Danielle relating what Sacred Dramatic means to her.

“Sacred is quiet, sacred is ‘must-be of service’, sacred is the yoga I don’t do enough of, sacred is ambitious. Dramatic is outspoken, dramatic is performance, dramatic is poetry, dramatic is saying what I need to say even when i feel uncomfortable..it takes a bit of courage… it\’s great to be me.”

This paradoxical nature of Danielle is reflected in her wardrobe and her style – she dresses in a way that speaks both of her spiritual, reflective side, as well as her big personality and strength of character. Not many people with such a multi-faceted inner self can pull off expressing themselves so beautifully through their clothes. But Danielle LaPorte can.

Danielle is a woman who totally gets who she is and not only accepts herself, but embraces herself – her strong points and her flaws.

Danielle dresses in a way that reflects all of this – she tends to dress modestly in neutral colors or black and then sneaks in some drama with her signature big gold hoop earrings and dramatic eye makeup, and occasionally a funky hairdo.

Her bold move

Danielle LaPorte, with no college degree and virtually penniless, started out working in one of The Body Shop’s retail stores. And that’s where she proved the stuff she is made of.

In her own words: “I just kept doing big things, then asking for promotions once I did them. Doing, asking, doing, asking.”

And look where being bold and confident got her. She is now one of the most sought-after and respected personalities with an online reach of about 100,000.

She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind and to know her value.

How she makes a difference

From leading a Washington D.C think tank on future studies to running her own communications and business development agency focusing on visionary people and projects, Danielle has made a difference in everything she has touched. She involves herself in organizations and causes that mean something to her and align with her core values and beliefs, and will break away from something that she feels does not do this. For Danielle, it’s not about the material things in life, it’s more than that…it’s about  love, about feeling fulfilled, about understanding who you are and what your desires are. Danielle makes a difference by enlightening other people, by showing them the way to feeling truly alive.

She also believes in giving back and has raised millions of dollars in non-profit funding and venture capital.

And this is just another reason that makes Danielle LaPorte a truly sexy, magical woman…
