If you're disconnected from love, then here's the second area you're going to have issues with. You're trying to fulfill the parts of you that are missing. The same way that a crackhead smokes crack is the same way that you always have to have another goal.

When you're afraid of death, you're afraid to live. One of the most powerful practices that we can have is to look in the mirror. Most successful people that are wounded internally are always wearing sunglasses. It's this illusionary thing that once we do that, then we'll be happy. No, brother, the happiness isn't here.
Scott Clary
Welcome to Success Story. I'm your host, Scott Clary. The Success Story podcast is part of the HubSpot Podcast network. Now, HubSpot doesn't just have great podcasts. They also have great tools for entrepreneurs. Let me tell you a story. I'm sure you've all heard of the Angel City Football Club. Well, you don't just become the world's most valuable women's sports franchise by accident. Angel City Football Club did it. The little help from HubSpot. When they started, data was housed across multiple systems, and HubSpot unified their website, their email marketing, and fan experience in one platform. This allowed their small team of three to build an entire website in just three days. The results were nearly 350 new fan signups a week and a 300% database growth in just two years. Sure, you can be a great team in the arena, but if you truly want to build a legacy, a franchise, and a dynasty, you have to build a community outside of the arena. And HubSpot helped Angel City Football Club do just that. If you want to learn about how HubSpot can help your business, visit HubSpot.com there's some other great case studies and you'll learn how HubSpot can help your business grow better. And one quick ask before we dive into today's episode, I need your help with something important. I've just launched a quick survey to better understand understand what you guys want from the show. And your feedback is going to directly shape our upcoming content. It's only going to take a few minutes of your time and I made it super easy to find. Just head over to scottdclary.com survey and as a thank you for helping me out, I'm giving away a free gift card to one lucky respondent chosen at random once we hit 100 responses. So not only will your feedback help make this show even better, you might score something cool just for sharing your thought. I really appreciate your help with this one. You've guided thousands through spiritual awakenings, through personal transformation, you've built a real estate empire. But obviously that's not where you're at right now. So what was the inflection point, the pivotal moment when you realized that success and wealth, they weren't giving you the fulfillment that you were looking for?
Danny Morrell
Yeah, it was where my mom died. My mom passed away. And I believe that we had a soul contract, one that essentially said, like many of us do with our parents, once they leave and they're on the other side, then they start to work on us, to help us to orchestrate experiencing life at the highest frequencies of love, because that's where they're at. And they never got a chance to experience life in that way when they were here. So that's what started happening to me. My mom passed away, man. And I started questioning everything about everything. I started questioning everything about my relationship with Jesus, who Jesus was, God, my marriage, happiness, money, my business, my career. Because up until that point, I didn't realize it at the time, but I had built this, like, external facade where, you know, I looked good. I had the great glasses and the custom suit and the gold Rolex and the Aston Martin. And, you know, I would drive up to valet and I thought I was the shit. But I was a big dickhead is the way I would call myself, quite frankly. Because deep inside, I was miserable. I was miserable like I think 90% of successful human beings are, quite frankly. And when my mom passed away, I just started asking myself questions that I had been afraid to ask myself my entire life. And the first one, Scott, was, are you happy? See, I had been avoiding that question my entire life because I knew the answer to it. And I was Afraid to answer it. And when my mom passed away, like death met me, it became more real. And as a result, so did life. And I thought to myself, man, I'm going to be alive for a pretty long time, like, how do you want to live this life? And so I started asking myself or, or these questions started coming to me that led me on a spiritual journey that led me to where I'm at today.
Scott Clary
I think that. I think that a lot of people, not everybody has an awakening and not everybody has this moment where they realize that they're unhappy because they chase all these external validators. Right? It's very easy to keep up with the Joneses to understand that, well, if I, you know, put the next comma in my bank account, I'm going to feel like that's going to get me the validation that I'm looking for. I mean, everybody who comes on this show is a high performer. Everybody who comes on this show is very successful or is on the path to becoming very successful. But one thing that I think you do very well, that you sort of found out, and it's unfortunate that you. You realized it when your mother passed, but at least the silver lining is that you did realize it, is that they're chasing. They're chasing the wrong thing. And it sounds cliche, but you. You came to this moment where money and success in a traditional sense didn't create the happiness and the fulfillment that. That you were actually looking for. And I think that that's a really scary thought for a lot of people because they don't know what else to look for.
Danny Morrell
Yeah, man. Well, and I'd like to explain why this happens, Scott. If you were to look right now throughout, for example, I'm going to use social media, because social media is in today's day and age where you look for information. So if you were to look through social media, I don't have to name them. If you could pick the top, most successful, highest achieving money earners, whether they're in like, the highest of the highest in real estate, the highest of the highest in sales, you know, the people, right, they're making millions. They have all the assets, they have all the cars. I can guarantee you, Scott, that behind 95% of them, there's a mother wound. And what is a mother wound? A mother wound is essentially an energetic wound that you experience or received as a little boy or as a little girl from your mother. I'm talking about men here. With women, it's typically a father wound. And so what happens, Scott, is That when you don't receive love, you know, and sometimes you, you live in households where your mom is like, nice to you, but she's busy working or she's busy fighting with your dad, or she's busy taking care of, you know, your, your brothers and sisters. When you don't receive love, when you don't receive the fullness of your mother's love, you are not receiving the fullness of the feminine energy. And therefore you are disconnected from the frequency of love and you're disconnected from your feminine. In more severe cases, when there's abuse, neglect or drug, you get more severe examples of success. So the more successful the people are, the deeper the mother would. And what I discovered is that that was me. I was so busy looking for external validation. I was so busy looking for life in success, in power, in followers, in cars and houses, and in being the man. Right. Like, I wanted to be the man. Well, the reason why I wanted to be the man was because I didn't feel like the man inside. Yeah. And, and, and this is where things get really, really hairy for people, is that most people don't even know that that is what's actually happening. And so the second problem that most human beings have in this case, I'm just going to speak to men in this case is that when you are high performance goal, you're always trying to achieve the next goal. You're always, and you're operating from a lower frequency because disconnected from love. Well, hang on a second. If you're disconnected from love, then here's the second area. You're going to have issues with. You're going to have issues with your relationship. You're going to have issues with your partner on the outside. On Instagram, it could look like the perfect marriage. And you guys have got it all figured out. I'm telling you, you cannot possibly feel real love with another human being because they are not your purpose, they are not your passion, they are not the apple of your eye. Success and power is so they're always going to come in second place. And this is why most of our successful people, especially the ones we see like on social media, are deeply dissatisfied and deeply unhappy.
Scott Clary
So what happens when now you hear this idea and you're trying to reconcile this duality where you still want to be traditionally successful, but you also want to have fulfillment in all the other areas of your life that you've neglected for the past, say, 30 years. And you're like, I don't. I only know one way. I only know how to Bust my ass and have an okay relationship, but I know how to make money.
Danny Morrell
That's right.
Scott Clary
Where do I start? Where do I start Healing?
Danny Morrell
Yeah. I think I. Well, I'll tell you where I started. Am I going to die like this? Am I going to die never knowing real love? Am I going to die always having to achieve another goal? Am I going to die never knowing what peace is? Am I going to die being disconnected from my partner? Am I going to die feeling disconnected, Scott, from my kids? Because love is love. It's a frequency. You know what I'm saying? And so those were the questions that I started to ask myself. And then, you know, when I started to become, like, really present to what was happening in my life, I started to realize that everything in my life, I can trace it backwards to what I did or didn't receive as a little boy or as a little girl. See, because now that's the first step in healing. The first step in healing is awareness. It's that oh, shit moment. It's that moment where you finally understand Time out. I have been operating this entire time in my life as a wounded little boy or little girl. Sure, I have nice toys, nice cars, nice stuff, and I'm successful. But deep inside, I am afraid to look in the mirror or I'm afraid to look at my partner when I'm making love, or I'm afraid to be held, or I'm afraid to calm down. I'm on vacation all the time, and my partner is always complaining that I'm on the phone. And like your brain justifies it because you're trying to give them a better life. You ain't trying to give nobody. You're trying to fulfill the parts of you that are missing you. You're trying to fill the void in you. As a matter of fact, I'll go as far as to say it. The same way that a crackhead smokes crack is the same way that you always have to have another goal.
Scott Clary
I've thought a lot about this idea of. It's slightly different, but I think it ties into it. When you don't have a God in your life in the traditional sense, you replace something else with God. And that can be work. It can be some other advice, like drinking or drugs. I think this ties into it as well. When you don't. When you don't heal, you numb that pain with something that society actually tells you is okay, which is work.
Danny Morrell
Well, let's. Let's see. That's the kicker. The kicker is if I. If. If I may, I'm going to take.
Scott Clary
It a little bit deeper.
Danny Morrell
Yeah. The kicker is, is that the 3D world here, here in Earth, the, the, the energy that rules the 3D world is the masculine energy. It's not the feminine. Right. Which is why we think God is a man. And, and which is why we are constantly up here in our heads, always on the go, go, go. Well, so what does the 3D world do? The 3D world uplifts and puts on a pedestal the people that are in the system and successful at the system. Right. So we put on a pedestal people like Diddy, that, that dude is bad, messed up.
Scott Clary
Bad, messed up.
Danny Morrell
But, but, but, but we gladly have, have been buying tickets and support. But what, but, but he's successful, so I want to take a picture with him. You want to take a picture with darkness is what you want to take a picture with, because you're not awake. Understand what's actually happening, right? And so then here we are, are we have a, A, A, A world that is basically telling you, hey, listen, everything that you've been looking for, which, what you've actually been looking for is the peace that you felt in your mother's womb, that's what you've been looking for your entire life. Everything you've been looking for, you will find it. When you make more money or when you become more successful or when you have that car or when you have the partner, when you have whatever you know and you know it takes. That's when a spiritual awakening happens, is when you, when you finally get there like I did, and you're like, son of a gun, I'm still not happy. And that's where the journey began for me. And that's where we take people through now, that process, basically.
Scott Clary
So part of what happened with your mother was facing death and facing the reality of death. And you, like you said, the first question you ask yourself is, do I want to die this way? So I think that even walking through your own journey is hugely helpful to people that are going to start on their own path. Even after listening to this or consuming your content, hopefully it doesn't take death. And I mean, I do like the idea of stoicism and sort of confronting your own death, but hopefully it doesn't take that to get somebody to take the first step. Where do they start? Where did you start? What's the first thing?
Danny Morrell
I want to reiterate something, but, but you see, I think part of the healing process, if you decide to take it this deep, is healing your relationship with death. Because you have to understand that when you're afraid of death, you're actually afraid to live. Because everything in life is all duality. It's all one in the same. So, for example, fear and love are actually the same. It's just broken. It's a strand of energy that is just broken, Right? And so what happens is we as human beings, we go. We're shutting off this side of it, so we're going to go live on this side of it. It's the same thing with life and death. If someone is afraid of dying, like, by the way, I once was, what is actually happening is you're afraid to live as your authentic self. This is really deep. So then you get to grow into those parts of you in a deep, deep way to experience. Wait a minute. Who am I really? Who am I really? Without the bullshit. Who am I really? Who would I have been if my mom would have known how to love me? Which, by the way, rewind. There's no way she could have, because her mom. Her mom died at 13 days old. So what I had been carrying my whole life was a feminine wound that, like most of your listeners, we've been carrying for generation upon generation upon generation. And if you've ever heard of terminology, the one, you get to become the One, right? You get to become the one that heals it so that it ends with you and it doesn't pass on to your children. I know there's this movie called Ends with you. I never watched it. I didn't want to get into the. The drama of the Blake and all that stuff, but it literally could end with you. So listen, where does it start? I would say one of the most powerful practices that we can have is to look in the mirror. And I'll tell you why. Because the eyes are connection, right? And the eyes are literally like the doorway to the soul. So you'll notice, like, if you scroll down on my Instagram, I once did as well. Most successful people that are wounded internally are always wearing sunglasses. Why? Because they're afraid for you to see them. That is the energetic picture.
Scott Clary
This.
Danny Morrell
This is external. I need something external to block me so that you don't see the real me. Because I'm afraid of you seeing the real me. I'm afraid of you seeing past the barrier and the illusion. Yeah. And so the first thing I like to tell people is go look in the mirror, because if you can't look at yourself, you're never going to be able to look at a partner. You never Ever, actually, if you can't see yourself, you'll never be able to see someone else. If you can't love yourself, you'll never be able to love someone else. And what discovered I couldn't do it, dude. My mind was always racing. I couldn't sit still in meditation. We'll go there in a second. I couldn't look in the mirror because I was like, I just couldn't do it. I was so scared and so anxious and so disconnected, Right? And so that's a daily practice that you can do. And then when you do, you just send loving thoughts to yourself, right? You. You send affirmation to yourself. You send kind words and kind energy to yourself. And I want to prepare your listener. Get ready. Because emotion could start to come out and that's your body starting to release and purge out everything that you've been holding inside of you. And so that's where. That's a beautiful practice. The second thing, and I, trust me, listen, never in my life, I grew up in the ghetto, I was around gangs. I never in my life did I think I'd be this woo woo guy that's about to tell you what I'm about to tell you. But go take your shoes off. Go sit on the grass. Go reconnect with the wind, the sun, nature. There's a reason why you feel so replenished when you get away from all of the hoopla and you go on vacation, it's because you're reconnecting with nature, which is mother Earth, which, by the way, is the mother. Right? It's you reconnecting to the groundedness of the mother. We were never intended to walk around with shoes on. And so that's a second thing that you can do. And then the third is yoga. I can't stress this enough. Like, it's really a beautiful practice because it combines you to your body, your mind, your heart, your breathing, your soul. It reconnects you with you. And I was one of those guys at the beginning that I was like, I'm not going to do that. And now, man, it just, it brings me back to me. I'm going to give a little plug. My wife has a beautiful yoga app. It's Blessed Yoga. Com. It's free for seven days. You can go try it out.

I think that's, it's so funny because, you know, you say you never thought you'd be the woo woo guy who believes, but I mean, there's a lot of science that, that backs up. If you're exposing yourself to sunlight every single day, if you're moving every single day, if you're basically doing things outside of how covet and beyond we operate, which is just sitting in front of a desk from when we get up. That's right when we go to bed and never working out and never doing. There's hormonal, there's, there's, I mean, you're, you're getting sunlight. There's a lot of reasons why the way most of us operate, we're depressed, we're sad, we're sick. I mean, it's not, I don't think it's woo woo at all. I think that these are practices you're bringing in mother and mother Earth and I don't understand a lot about that, but I do know scientifically, if you just follow those practices, even if you don't go to that level, you're going to be a lot healthier, happier than you are right now.
Danny Morrell
Yeah, man, for sure.
Scott Clary
I, yeah, there, there was.
Danny Morrell
Can I say something else? So, so again, I just want to, I wanna, I wanna invite you and your listeners. You know, so many people. Let's, let's talk about science. Right? So if, if I were to point, first off, let's do some basics. Masculine is the mind, feminine is the heart. Right? We are both masculine and feminine. We came from both a mother, a mother and a father. Right? So if I were to point out, and if I were to say, point to which one is science, the mind or the heart?
Scott Clary
Which one is science? I mean, they're both science. I would say the mind is more logical and the heart is more emotional. Yes.
Danny Morrell
Yeah, yeah, Right. Okay. So science is the mind. Remember what I told you at the very beginning. I said that we live in a very masculine world because we want proof, we want knowledge, we, we like. What's the next podcast I can listen to? What's the next book that I can read? And Scott, what I am telling you is all real healing. If you're listening to my voice right now and you actually want to heal, it comes from here, brother. It comes from you letting go of the mind and going, I surrender. And connecting to the divine, connecting to the universe, connecting to God. Right? Not through Religion not through. And this is what we'd help people to do. Whether it's at my event, Awaken, which people have healed, literally their bodies, their money issues, relationship, I mean, everything. Not because of me, by the way, because we just guide them back to themselves. That's it. That's the whole, that's the whole journey, man.
Scott Clary
Yeah. When I, when I say God and religion, I think what I really mean is the removal of your own ego from the equation.
Danny Morrell
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. If you can learn to remove this, like we do this through Beth, through medit. So, so mirror grounding yoga. Next step is meditation. Meditation is tough for people because the mind is so on the go. So that's why like at Awakened, we use breath work. Because breath work, as long as you breathe, you're literally going to have a spiritual experience. I mean literally every, every event we have, we get people visited from their parents, their ancestors. They literally the angels come in, heal them. I know this sounds wild. I'm just telling you what happens. You can go on the website, you can see it for yourself. And, and, and they get healing in very profound ways.
Scott Clary
What is actually so help people understand what, what are they experiencing when they create space to heal? Like what is actually happening? Because is it just because they've been going non stop their whole life? And, and this event, or even when they meditate, even outside of your event, are they for the first time in their life finally slowing down?
Danny Morrell
I mean, I mean in like layman's terms, yes, but, but what's actually happening is that. Okay, I'm going to get. Woo woo.
Scott Clary
Go for it, go for it.
Danny Morrell
Thousands, thousands of years ago, we used to, number one, women were the authority in society because women are the ones that are spiritually connected. They are, women are the masters of the spiritual world. Men are the masters of the physical world. This is why we're good with our hands and we're a little bit physically stronger, right? And then what, what happened was us men wanted that power and we kind of took over. And when we did that, we disconnected ourselves from our own feminine because energetically we wanted to disassociate from anything that once was in power. And that happened for thousands of years. And then in 1960, the feminist movement began, right? The women started to come back online. Women started to get, watch this, their voices back, their throat chakra started opening up. And because they had been suppressed and oppressed for so long and, and raped and murdered and you know, again, we carry all of this stuff from past Lives. They came out. And when it comes out, it comes out from anger. It came out from anger, which is like the feminist movement, which. Which, by the way, I understand it. I understand it. And yet what happened is they then disconnected from their heart. So now we have a society of people. There's a war right now. It's a war that's been happening for 500,000 years. It's the war literally between men and women. But it's also a war between the mind and the heart. That if you have a war within you between your mind and a heart, and you're constantly appearing, you're never here, you are going to attract because you are the creator of your life, by the way. That's a whole nother story. You're the creator of your life and you attract, based off of the energy and frequency that you are living in, you are going to attract from the mind someone that operates in the mind as well. And so when you're both operating over here, I call that you attracted a mind mate. You can only attract a soulmate when you attract from here from the heart. Right? And so what is actually happening is you quiet the mind to reconnect to the ability that you have to connect to your spirit guides, your angels, your. Your guardian angels, your ancestors, your parents one day once they passed, and. And listen carefully. The more and more that you're open spiritually, the more and more that your telepathic powers come back on. Because we as humans used to once communicate before there was language through telepathy. And literally, this is when couples start to experience things. Like they'll think things and the other person will think. It's because we have the ability to do that. So what's happening, man, is we're returning to our highest self. This is why the event is called awaken your highest self. Because we are all so powerful that if we can't even understand how powerful we actually are.
Scott Clary
I have a question, but I have to premise with a first. The first question, because the second question will be, how does this play? How does this weave its way into relationships that are not with your intimate partner? So people in your life, your friends, your peers, business, all of that, Because I think we also have trouble with that for most people. But I think the most important question, especially for this audience, because this audience is critical and thoughtful. Where do these teachings or these learnings come from? So you're saying things that many people do not understand or would think would be absolutely crazy. So I want to understand, where does this come from? I Don't think it's religion. So where do the learnings come from?
Danny Morrell
I think that's the best part of my story. And I say that because it's the best part of all of your story. Scott. I lead the largest spiritual events for sure. The largest breathworks on the planet right now. I can tell you this, you know, this is a business audience. I'll bet a million dollars on this. You will get more transformation in our three day event than you would in 30 years of therapy. And why do I say this? Because therapy only deals with this. What most humans don't realize, by the way, not just my event, working with plant medicine is. Is. Is on par with that. Right. Most people don't realize that a lot of our trauma, we are holding in the body and in our energy and in our frequency. Yeah. And so when people ask me, like, you know, people trip out all the time because they go, okay, so Danny, like, where did you study? I didn't. So then where did you get certified? I didn't. What the. So then what would. Like, where did you learn this from? I just healed, bro. That's it. I just. I just. I just healed. I just. I just did enough. I had enough courage to go in the jungle, sit in front of the altar, take ayahua, take the medicine, and say, I want the truth. Show me the truth about God. Show me the truth about life. Show me the truth about helping people. Show me the truth about myself. Show me. Show me what's holding me back. Show me what's. And I just. And I. And I. And I just. I laid there and I cried and I wept and I learned. And all of the messages. I don't care what book you have, humans, please listen to me. You will not need another book when you get connected up there. That's my guarantee.
Scott Clary
I think that it's interesting, and I say that because I know that people will ask that. But the things that you talk about with feeling like there's some sort of telepathy with the person that you love, like, everybody knows it's there, but nobody can really put a finger on it.
Danny Morrell
Yeah. Yeah.
Scott Clary
So I know it's there and I know and I have it with my better half. And we always laugh how there's so many, like, synchronicities and we finish each other's sentences. And sometimes even when we're in, you know, different countries in the world and we're traveling, I'll text her something that I'm thinking about and she'll be like, in the middle of writing the exact same message back to me. And it's just very weird. But nobody. You can't put a finger on it. It just feels really weird.
Danny Morrell
Well, Scott, here's. Let's take it deeper. Why do we need to put a finger on it? You understand what I'm saying?
Scott Clary
Because we're in our heads. Yes.
Danny Morrell
Science. I have to know, where did you learn this from? Right. What? What within us. This is what I'm trying to get at. What within us has to put a fix. Surrender, let go, allow. And this. This reminds me of that quote. You know, our greatest fear not is not that we're inadequate. Our greatest fear is how powerful we actually are. Brother. When you actually experience that, you'll go, oh, my God. Like, that is the quote of all quotes. Because that is truly our deepest fear. I'm just going to go there. Our deepest fear is that we are not separate from God. Our deepest fear is that we are one with God. Our deepest fear is that there's no one to wait for. Our deepest fear is that there's no one coming to save us. Our deepest fear is that we've been the one that we've been waiting for our entire lives to save us. Our deepest fear is that there's no middle person. There's actually not even no thing that we can point at or hope for to answer our questions. Our deepest fear is that the answer to all of our questions has been in the one place that we've been afraid to look at in here. That's our deepest fear.
Scott Clary
So we go on this healing journey, and obviously the majority of this podcast, if we look at the demographics, it does skew about 75% male. A lot of guys in the audience, we can talk about women as well, because I think that's important. And I think a lot of the lessons that you teach whoever listens to this can bring it into the relationship, which is very useful. And there are obviously there's some women listening to this as well. But just in terms of men listening to this who have built businesses, who are on this healing journey, and they're thinking, okay, great, this is going to be useful for my relationship with my spouse, my partner. But how does this translate into all the other relationships in my life? How do I use some of these learnings when I'm picking a business partner or when I'm deciding who to hire? There's transferable knowledge, but they need to understand how to apply it.
Danny Morrell
I'll tell you a story. First off, I'm going to start off by saying everyone in your life, everyone, Every customer, every client, every one of your employees, every. Everyone. Everyone that you see on the street, everyone that you bump into. Everyone is simply a reflection of the energy that lives within you. And when you heal, what happens and what is happening right now, Scott, is that there are two worlds that are being created. And one world is built on the frequency of fear. Fear that you're inadequate, fear that you're not enough. And the other world is built on the frequency of love. Love that you are the one you've been looking for. Love that you have the answers within you. And what is happening right now, Scott, the best way that I can describe it, which is going to sound very weird, but in this. In the world of love, you literally do not run into, attract, see, or participate in anything that the people that live in the world of fear participate in. You don't have to worry about getting mugged. You don't have to worry about your getting stolen. You don't have to worry about. I'll prove it to you, Scott. What was covet?
Scott Clary
Easy answer is a pandemic.
Danny Morrell
Covid was a energetic physical manifestation of the fear that lives within all of us. Covid was fear personified. Right? And based off. So, like, let's say that this is Covid. This is Covid. My hand. If you're listening and based off of the energy that you live with inside of you, you saw Covid as a certain way. When you're afraid, then Covid was there, mirroring back to you everything that you deeply fear. It hit you in your finances, it hit you in your health, it hit you in your relationships. And the more and more that you live in fear, the more and more that that fear was mirrored right back to you. And it told you, if you don't do what we're telling you to do, you're going to experience the ultimate fear. You're gonna die.
Scott Clary
You know what's ironic?
Danny Morrell
What's that?
Scott Clary
It's that I was never scared of COVID and my business has never done better. And we made major life decisions because of COVID And I mean, I know that it hurt quite a few people, but for that period of time, that was one of the most transformative periods in my life.
Danny Morrell
Yeah, man. Yeah, man. And by the way, everyone who's listening is, whatever you decided to do with that, it, everything is perfect. I teach this in my spiritual master class. Everything is perfect. Like, part of how you're going to transform your life is going backwards and understanding that everything in your life that has happened. It's perfect. Yeah, even that thing. You go, Danny, but you don't understand what I've been through. Yeah, man, even that. Scott, I deal with, you know, in a very profound way, victims of sexual abuse. And I'm telling you right now that even people that have experienced some of the deepest sexual trauma can transcend that energy and create a beautiful life and a beautiful version of themselves that they would not have created if it wasn't for that trauma. But you got to allow yourself. You got to allow yourself to see that your soul is on a journey. And as a result of your soul being on that journey, your soul is going to call in everything that you have to experience to get your soul to the place that you're ultimately trying to get to, which hopefully for all of us, is enlightenment. Yeah. And so going back to, you know, the clients and people when this was happening with me, and when I was in my. My spiritual awakening, I had an affair. And. And it's important to understand who I was and why that was so important, because, Scott, I was Mr. Goody Two Shoes. I was the guy that never cheated. I was the guy that never looked. I was the guy that. I was the guy that when all of the friends. Wives, knew I was going on the guy trip, they would let the friends go on the guy trip. I was that guy. Right. Because they knew I was Mr. Squeaky Clean. But was I. Because even the being squeaky clean was a part of the part of me that needed you to like him in order for me to like myself. You understand what I'm saying? So, like any man, I have my secrets and I had my thoughts and I had the things going on inside of my head. And one day, it just all. It just. It just. It just all happened. And I had an affair. I did the one thing I promised myself I never would do. But it was. It was the beginning of. Of. Of my awakening. It happened right after my mom's passing. Anyways, the reason why I'm bringing this up. I had an assistant, and I had just sold my real estate company, and we were doing this business, and it came out that my assistant was stealing from me. And I was like, what the f. I don't. No one ever steals from me. Like, I never. This is just not stuff that I deal with, right? Like, I'm a pretty positive guy, so positive things happen. And, Scott, you want to share about something? I thought. But I go, hang on a second. I'm not a victim. I created this. I'm the creator of this. So what within me created this, Scott? I hired my assistant, I attracted my assistant, I attracted someone that would lie and cheat me when I was literally lying and cheating to my ex wife.
Scott Clary
Wow.
Danny Morrell
It happened at the same time that I was in the affair. So, Scott, my answer to your question is this the benefit of healing, the benefit of detaching from the societal version of yourself and living from the spiritual version of yourself, is that literally, not only will you heal, but the seven closest family members to you will start the process of healing simply because of your energy and frequency. And as a result, the people that, that work with you, I'm telling you, if they're not matching in the same frequency, they'll fall away and they'll be replaced by people that will. So as a result, guess what happens to your business? It grows 10 times bigger, literally, with half of the effort.
Scott Clary
So, so the, the hiring the wrong people, the wrong business partners, it's the same thing as when you keep attracting the wrong, wrong man, wrong, wrong woman. It's all the same thing.
Danny Morrell
And, and the answer is yes. And is there ever anything that's right or wrong?
Scott Clary
That's where, that's where the. So this, this idea, because it's all.
Danny Morrell
Perfect for where you are right now.
Scott Clary
That'S also a very hard idea for people to wrap their heads around because that means that there's ownership and agency required. And, and you probably see this, you see that one event. I mean, we're talking about a bad hire, God forbid, sexual trauma, which is way worse than any bad hire. People can go in two directions from that, right? So they can use it as a place to learn and heal from and come 10 times stronger, or it can derail their entire life.
Danny Morrell
And you know, Scott, that's what I want to help people with. What I realized, Scott, is that like, when I started my awakening, unknowingly, I had been putting all of the blame on my mom, my dad, my life circumstances. But I wish it could be different. But I wish it was better. But. And then when I really looked at it, I said, oh my God, I never would have been the man that I am today if it wasn't for all of those things that I've been blaming and harboring all this time. And Scott, that's when everything opened up because I got it. It was like, oh my God, everything is perfect. And it set me free.

When people go through this healing process, what do they start to discover about the people around them, the relationships that.
Danny Morrell
They have, that they're a reflection of them?
Scott Clary
And what happens, what happens if it's a bad reflection and you're on this journey but your wife is not?
Danny Morrell
Yeah, that's where things I, you know, I, I, this is, we help people through this process. You know, look, sometimes you start the journey and then the wife or the partner wants to go on the journey as well. And then that's great. And sometimes they don't.
Scott Clary
Scott.
Danny Morrell
And, and that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a truth. That's something that we have to learn to deal with, with, which then leads us to are you attached or are you in love? Because sometimes what I realize after, like my divorce, which, by the way, I'm not telling everybody, I'm just telling you, you know, my story. And I actually believe that you can heal, work through most anything now. I just, I just wasn't equipped with the tools back then. But, but, but what I believe when I was going through my divorce is that I believe that, like, I realize that the wounded little boy in me who wanted to be loved is the one that constantly thought about being married, which therefore never allowed me to pick a partner from love. I was picking a partner from a void which literally caused me to. On my wedding day, I knew I wasn't in love, but I wanted to be so married that I wanted to be married, you know, and, and then, you know, like 13 years later, man, I, I, I, I realized I cannot love this person the way they deserve to be loved.
Scott Clary
How often do you think that happens with men on their, on their wedding day, realizing that they're going to go into it, but they really shouldn't be going into it with.
Danny Morrell
It's not just men, bro. It's, it's, it's women as well. From, from, from, from, from the people that I've worked with. It's everyone. Because. Scott, let, let's start with the basics. First off, we have immense pressure in our society around getting married, right? It's like, it's like when you're married, like, okay, check like you got that part done. And when you're not, like, you're the weirdo, like there's something wrong with you, Right?
Scott Clary
Of course, yeah.
Danny Morrell
And then, and then if you're a woman, you have your biological clock, right? Your biological clock is ticking. You want to have babies, right? So there's that pressure, but hang on a second. But then there's religion. And religion has done a number on us when it comes to our sexuality. That's a literally an hour podcast on that alone. But it causes us to think that we are sinners or bad. If we have sex before marriage. This is the most ludicrous thought that could ever exist. Because, number one, there is no such thing as sin. Human beings, please listen to me. There is no such thing as sin. Number two, there is no way, shape, or form that you could be bad or evil or going to. Number two, there's no such thing as hell. Number three, there's no bad guy making you do bad things. Number four, there's no way that you could be bad by doing the very thing that created your life. There's no way. And so when we are told that we are bad because we're doing the thing that we created, our life. Scott, let me tell you how deep this is, is. We're afraid of life. We're afraid to create our life based off of what we want. Because the thing that creates life, we, we're, we're, we're blocked from the beauty of it. We're blocked from the expression of it. And so you have all of these pressures around you that make you want to do something. I'm not saying marriage is bad. What I will tell you, if you were to go into the spirit world right now, if you were to take a little rocket ship and you were to ask all the angels in God, hey, hey, God, hey, all the angels, what do you think about marriage? They'd be like, don't do it. Hold on, hold on. And I'm gonna tell you. And they're. And you're gonna be like, why not? They're gonna go, because you dumb humans, you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. You're doing it because you want to. You don't want to be alone. You're doing it because you want to control other people. You're doing it because you want to be loved. You're doing it because. Because you're doing it for all the wrong reasons. If you could go find yourself and if you could go find love within yourself without the need of another person, and then from that place, you attract another human being who also has done the work. And then from that energy you want to live your life together, then by all means, go do that. But 80% of humanity, Scott, you know this as well as I do. That's not why they're getting married. And that's where this start. This stuff starts to happen.
Scott Clary
But you know that. That's why 80% of not just marriage and relationships, 80% of everything we do is for the wrong reasons.
Danny Morrell
That's why I always ask people, why I coach people, you know, because there's nothing wrong with making a lot of money. Make a million bucks a week for all I care. Just don't give your heart and soul for it. Create it in a way that's beautiful so that you can support your family and live a dream life, man. Yeah, but that's what people. I ask people all the time, they go, okay, Danny, I want to make a million bucks a year working 20 hours a week. Great. No problem. Easy. Why a million, by the way? Why not 950,000? You know, saying. Because this.
Scott Clary
This.
Danny Morrell
It's this illusionary thing that we have, that once we do that, then we'll be happy. Happy, right? No, brother, the happiness isn't here.
Scott Clary
I'm very fortunate because I get front row seats to, you know, the most successful entrepreneurs, financially successful entrepreneurs. And you see, after the exit, they have no more goals to go after because they've achieved the thing that they were told to have to achieve their Whole life. And then they're depressed.
Danny Morrell
That's right. And that those are the people. Come, come, my bro. I got you. Let's go in here in the deepest way imaginable. Because I'll be honest with you, though, to me, those are the fol. Can make the greatest impact on humanity.
Scott Clary
Agreed.
Danny Morrell
The entrepreneur that is financially free and then can go help other people and create services that help other people from love, not from a need. That's what we're all trying to get to right there, my man. That right there.
Scott Clary
What would be one of the most out of all these ideas that you've understood? After going through this healing journey yourself, what was the hardest for you to internalize and to live?
Danny Morrell
Surrender. Because I was a control freak, man. I didn't realize. I'll tell you. My first ceremony with ayahuasca, I go to Costa Rica. My mom had just passed away. My buddy Gerard Adams, I saw him on Instagram. He had done ayahuasca, and I saw a smile on his face so big, and I thought, man, I want to smile, smell like that, right? So I said, whatever that dude is smoking, I want to smoke it, too. So right away, I go to Costa Rica. I go sit with ayahuasca. And that first ceremony, I walked in, bro, you can imagine me, Gucci sunglasses, Louis Vuitton bag, gold Rolex. Like, cocky, right? And, you know, I take the first cup. I take the first cup. We're. Now we're into the ceremony, and nothing has happened happening. So I go. And everybody around me is, like, moaning and groaning and, like, they're doing, you know, whatever's going on. There's like 35 people, and I'm like, this stuff. Come on, man. So I go back up, and the shaman is like, do you want a little bit more? I say, yeah, give it to me. He's. He's like, well, how much do you want? I go, I don't know. This stuff ain't working, so just give me whatever. He goes, okay. So he gave me another pickup Scott. I sat down and I literally go, oh. Oh, yeah. I'm laid down, right? And next thing you know, what happened is that, like, my arms started flapping like a butterfly. Like, literally like a butterfly as fast as possible. And I'm looking at my arms going, what the hell is happening right now? And, you know, I was one of those guys that would go to church and I would want to hear God's voice so much, and I would pray extra hard, and I would try to speak in tongues and I just, I always wanted spirituality, basically. Basically. But I never heard God's voice. And I, I, you know, to, to this day, I remember, I will always remember this moment. It was a, it was her, her voice, Ayahuasca's voice. She whispered in my ear, she said in Spanish, by the way, she said, my son, I'm about to transform your life the same way that a butterfly is transformed. And that, that's why our logo now is, is, is the butterfly, because it's what we want to help humanity do is to transform. Right. Well, the reason why I'm bringing up this story is because never in my life did I realize how much the frequency of control was a part of my life. I was scared. I was scared out of my mind because I wasn't in control, because I didn't know how much time was left, because I didn't know how long it was going to last because. And that's where I started working through that energy. And Scott, that's really the healing journey is to work through all of these energies that unknowingly are blocking us. Energies like pride and desire and control and shame and guilt and all of these lower frequency energies that keep us vibrating at a lower level, which keep us attracting life at a lower level. Basically.
Scott Clary
I want to understand, just to sort of bring it full circle to one of the ideas that you brought forward at the beginning. The men in the audience that are suffering from a mother wound and why that makes them so successful. You also mentioned women who are suffering from a father wound. So that's a. I'm sure there's components of that healing process that are similar, but what would be different?
Danny Morrell
Yeah, it's all a broken heart. This dynamic is pretty interesting because it's a lot of what's driving our female entrepreneurs right now. Again, please hear this, guys. There's nothing wrong with being. I wish that the world was as successful. You're free, you're God, you can create whatever you want on. It's just, you got to understand what is the energy you're creating it from. So case in point, most of the women we work with, and men, for example, I'm going to talk about the women, for example, right now. They're really successful, but their life is a mess. They feel empty. They, they, they feel disconnection with their partners. They're not, they don't have passionate sex. I'll just say it. They're, they're, their, their vagina doesn't open during sex. They don't lubricate enough like they're, this is real issues. They have to take medicine. They're on, you know, Adderall and all this shit. You don't need any of this stuff. Well, I start asking questions and I go, tell me about your relationship with your father. And like, nine times out of ten, what happens is, is that dad let them down in a way that when the masculine in their life doesn't protect them, then they create a story that says, then I will now be my own protector and I will never feel that pain again. So as little girls, their hearts get locked down. They start living from the mind, and they go out and literally build careers and lives. Highly successful, by the way. Nothing wrong, but it was all coming from a wound that happened when they were a little girl. And so people, when they come work with me, it's like, I want to return back to my feminine. Well, we got to take them through a process of returning back to their broken heart and reopening that heart so that they could smile again, so that they could love again, so that they could know, so that they could stop attracting safe men. Because what these alpha babes and like, like boss babes attract is they will either attract a guy that is also a boss dude, that's a divorce waiting to happen. Like that. That won't last long. That was Jlo and Ben Affleck. I could have told you they were going to break up. I said, give it a year to most. Why she never gave her heart a chance to heal from a rod and he hell. But, but, or, or they'll attract like a. A guy in his feminine because she's in the masculine and he's in the feminine. And she knows she can control him. And she knows, by the way, this is. This used to be me. By the way, a lot of successful men, because of the wounded heart, they're actually in their feminine and their wounded feminine in relationships. And they're afraid to speak up because they're afraid to not be loved anymore. That was me, by the way. And so what happens is they're attracting relationships with men that there's no passion with and there's no respect with. They're constantly working, they're never at peace. And a woman is just not designed to be like that, brother. So this is where a lot of issues like breast cancer and stuff like that come up, because it's a violation of the feminine is what it is. And they're living out that wound without even knowing it.
Scott Clary
Well, I see sickness and unhappiness and depression on both sides so on, on. You see it a lot with, you know, I always put in air quotes, high performing successful men that never want to settle down or multiple divorces later. And then with high performing successful women, they're balancing. Okay, so how much of my energy do I put into a job and what kind of man do I want to be with and should I have kids now or later? And, and I don't know when to. My life is now confusing. So you have all these like, I don't know again, I'm not like a woo woo guy. But you have like these broken souls across the spectrum that don't know how to navigate and everyone's sad and everyone's depressed now.
Danny Morrell
I know, bro. I know. And the answer is you gotta go back here. You gotta go back here. It's the only place where everything makes sense.
Scott Clary
It's tough, dude. It's tough. And society doesn't set us up to be happy. Society doesn't set us up to be. To look inside, it's distraction and grass is greener on the other side and work harder and make more money. Very tough.
Danny Morrell
But Scott, again, remember what I said, could even that be perfect?
Scott Clary
Yes.
Danny Morrell
You see the game because, because, because if we, if we go that route and then we still don't find ourselves happy. Eventually, Scott, something is going to bring us to our needs. Illness, divorce, disease, something is going to bring us to our knees and then we can start the process of returning to our hearts. And then from there, bro, it's just. How deep do you want to go? I, I was just one of those guys, I do what I do today because I was just one of those guys that I was like this. I, I want to go as deep as there is to go.
Scott Clary
And now that's what you teach. That's, that's why, I mean, that's what I do. That's, that's the whole point. No, I was going to say the whole point is you don't have to go as deep. I think that you just have to start healing, start understanding why you're doing the things that you're doing. Because you are 100% on point body life has a way of shutting you down. You're not, you're not stronger than it. Something's gonna break at some point.
Danny Morrell
Something's gonna break. That's right.
Scott Clary
If you think about the hardest lesson that you've learned in your own life that was useful to you, but you wouldn't wish on anyone else, what was that lesson and why?
Danny Morrell
It was the fear of death Yeah, I went one year without sleeping.
Scott Clary
Geez.
Danny Morrell
Because I was afraid to fall asleep. And I, I literally saw an entity leave me. But I also realized, man, that I needed to go through it because I, I needed to experience the depths of the fear that exists in humanity in order to help it. You know, you can't ever help someone go through or release or process what you have haven't gone through, released or processed yourself, you know. And so yeah, I think that was a big one for me.
Scott Clary
What do you think your biggest or the biggest misconception about your success story is that people believe that isn't true?
Danny Morrell
I don't know because I don't, I don't really put an end. I don't really put focus on what other people.
Scott Clary
I love it. No, that's help. That's a healthy answer, dude.
Danny Morrell
That's a very, my honest answer is my aspect. Yeah, I think I, you know, in my past life I would have answered that, but I don't, I don't give my energy to that.
Scott Clary
If you were, if you were going to leave the audience with one thought about sort of the cost of ambition, the cost of pursuing external goals and validation. We've mentioned a lot, but what would be the biggest concern if somebody hasn't, if somebody's not convinced yet why they should go on a self healing journey, what would be the one line that you would tell them?
Danny Morrell
Yeah, I don't know about one line because it's a big thing. I remember I used to go to unleash the power within Tony Robbins, for example. Right. Which I think every entrepreneur has been to. It's a wonderful event. My thought is there's just deeper work to be done. Done. I remember I used to go, and he would put up the wheel of life and every year that I would go, remember that wheel? And every year I would go, it'd be like, this thing is not getting better. Like I'm always out of balance. Right. And, and, and the reason why is because your, your, your, your, your job, your career, your money, your business, your relationship, your fitness, your contribution to all of it. It's not the outside in, in, it's the inside out. So you're on a hamster wheel trying to get balance and all of these things. That's not the way it works. You go inward to find balance within and then the outside stuff is just a mirror and a reflection. Like if I were to do a hamster wheel right now, there's no wheel because life is just a, it's just a, an Expression of how I feel inside of myself, you know. And so I would say that the. The greatest thing and the greatest cost is peace. Their own peace, their own ability to be at peace with themselves, which then leads to peace in relationship, peace with life, peace with all of it. And you, you, you can't get to peace until you release fear. And that, that's, that, that's the real journey. The real journey is releasing fear.
Scott Clary
And that was going to be. That was really my last question. When somebody goes on this journey, they start to heal. How do they know they're on the right path? How do they know that the work is working?
Danny Morrell
I'll tell you, because they're scared as fuck. That's why. Because. Because the other. The other thing is that I've probably gone through a thousand mini deaths. I'll leave you guys with this. It's like for the real you to be born, the old you has to die, right? For your business to have been born. The part of you that was scared to launch it had to go. And all of life is like that for magic in your relationship to be born. Like, the stop that's blocking you has to go, man. For a lot of you, you got to cut points porn, but you're never going to cut it up here because porn is just an outward reflection of the frequency you're unconsciously living in in here. So you could try all day long to cut the addiction. You're never going to cut it up here. I'll tell you this, because that was me. You can go to church for 50,000 years if you want to. You ain't never going to cut it there. You got to cut it in here. It's the only place that it'll go. Because when you go in here to your feminine, you will heal the relationship that you have with the feminine outside of you. You will start to honor women in a more beautiful, loving way because you have learned to finally love and honor yourself in a more beautiful, loving way. And as a result of that, when you can see yourself in the power and the beauty and the presence that you are, you will never be able to look at a woman in that way ever again again. It's no trying, it's no effort, it's no accountability, partner. It will literally just be gone.
Scott Clary

Scott Clary
I appreciate you so much. I appreciate you coming on and your time and just and and turning, turning your lessons into wisdom because that's also not easy. It's one thing to learn yourself, but it's another thing to sort of teach the world out of everything that you've learned in your entire life. And you can only pass on one lesson to your kids. So it's the most important lesson out of all the lessons. What would that be and why?
Danny Morrell
You and God are one. You and love are one. You and abundance are one. There's nothing to hope for or wish for or to strive for, because it's all already who you are.

Success Story Podcast Summary: Danny Morell - Transformation Guide | How Unresolved Trauma Creates Successful But Unhappy Entrepreneurs
Host: Scott D. Clary
Guest: Danny Morell
Release Date: April 9, 2025
In this compelling episode of the Success Story Podcast, host Scott D. Clary sits down with renowned life coach, spiritual leader, and entrepreneur Danny Morell. The conversation delves deep into the paradox of achieving traditional success while grappling with internal unhappiness, exploring how unresolved trauma, particularly the "mother wound," can drive entrepreneurs to great heights yet leave them feeling unfulfilled.
[00:00] Danny Morell opens up about a pivotal moment in his life: the passing of his mother. Despite his material success—gold watches, luxury cars, and a thriving real estate empire—Danny found himself miserable. He reflects, “I was miserable like I think 90% of successful human beings are” ([00:00]).
This loss prompted Danny to question everything about his existence—from happiness and money to his relationship with spirituality and his personal life. “I started questioning everything about everything,” he shares ([03:37]).
Danny introduces the concept of the "mother wound," an energetic wound experienced in childhood that profoundly impacts one's adult life. He asserts, “If you could pick the top, most successful, they're making millions... there's a mother wound” ([00:17]).
He explains that many high-achieving individuals mask their internal wounds with external successes. Danny emphasizes, “When you're disconnected from love... you're trying to fulfill the parts of you that are missing” ([00:35]). This disconnect leads to perpetual goal-chasing, akin to addiction, where the pursuit of the next achievement becomes a cycle of temporary satisfaction without lasting happiness.
[15:03] Danny outlines the initial steps to healing unresolved trauma:
These practices help individuals reconnect with their authentic selves, release suppressed emotions, and begin the journey toward inner peace.
Danny discusses the ripple effect of internal healing on external relationships and business dynamics. He shares a personal anecdote about hiring an assistant who ended up stealing from his business, linking it to his own internal struggles: “I hired my assistant, I attracted my assistant, I attracted someone that would lie and cheat me when I was literally lying and cheating to my ex-wife” ([43:05]).
He explains, “Everyone... is simply a reflection of the energy that lives within you” ([37:02]). Healing internally leads to attracting like-minded, positive individuals, thereby fostering healthier business environments and more fulfilling personal relationships.
Danny candidly shares his own journey of transformation, including an affair and business setbacks that catalyzed his spiritual awakening. [56:00] He recounts a life-altering ayahuasca ceremony where he confronted his fear of death and learned to surrender control, a lesson he describes as the hardest to internalize: “Surrender. Because I was a control freak...” ([56:28]).
This surrender allowed him to release fear, pride, and other lower-frequency energies, enabling profound personal growth and the ability to help others achieve similar transformations.
Danny differentiates between the wounds that predominantly affect men and women. For men, the mother wound leads to disconnection from love and perpetuates a cycle of external validation. For women, a father wound results in locked hearts and reliance on the mind over the heart.
He explains, “For women, they have to take medicine... they're on Adderall... they go out and literally build careers and lives” ([59:27]). Healing for women involves reconnecting with their broken hearts to experience true love and passion in relationships.
Danny emphasizes that true peace and fulfillment come from internal healing and releasing fear. He states, “The greatest cost is peace. Their own ability to be at peace with themselves” ([67:26]). By addressing and healing internal wounds, individuals can transform not only their personal lives but also their professional endeavors.
He leaves listeners with a powerful message: “You and God are one. You and love are one. There’s nothing to hope for or wish for or to strive for, because it’s all already who you are” ([72:03]).
This episode offers a profound exploration of how internal traumas, particularly early maternal relationships, shape the lives of successful entrepreneurs. Danny Morell provides actionable insights into healing and transforming one's life by addressing these deep-seated wounds. For listeners seeking a balance between professional success and personal fulfillment, this conversation serves as a vital guide to achieving holistic well-being.
