What if manifesting everything you wanted still isn't enough? 

In this episode of the Awaken Your Purpose Podcast, Zenka Caro sits down with Danielle Kort, fashion designer turned transformational life coach, channeled author of Wild Spirit Fire to talk purpose, manifestation, and what it really means to live your soul's calling. 

​

She built the American dream, Calvin Klein, a Soho apartment, the career she manifested down to the salary. Then she sat on her bed one day and thought: why am I not happier? 

​

Danielle opens with a channeled reading from her book, Wild Spirit Fire, on what purpose actually is — not a career, a title, or a five-year plan. From manifesting her way into Calvin Klein at the height of the 2009 crash, to the moment plant medicine tore her identity apart and rebuilt it, to the "blueprint for New Earth" she's now building in Sedona, this conversation goes deep into ego, fear, surrender, and what it costs to follow a calling nobody asked you to follow. 

​

She talks about the backpack you carry up the mountain, and how the hardest part was never the climb — it's letting go of what you thought you needed. And she opens up about a painfully dark moment in eighth grade, and why she now believes every single person on this planet matters.

✦ Guest Bio ✦ 

Danielle Kort decided at age 12 she'd become a fashion designer in New York City — and did, landing a role at Calvin Klein. Behind the dream career was a deeper calling she couldn't ignore. She left fashion in 2014 to become a Transformational Life Coach and began channeling the material that became her book, Wild Spirit Fire: Freedom from Fear and Separation. Danielle has led transformational retreats and now works with clients through her 1:1 program, Find Your Flow. She is currently searching for land in the Sedona area to build a retreat center as a living blueprint for sovereign, connected living.
