Ep. 392 - How to Change Your Life: TBM Manifestation Stories

Everything you're chasing, all the goals that you want, all the manifestations you want to call in, it's about having that felt sense within you that you are magical. And when you finally feel confident owning that about yourself, that is where you take your power back. Have you felt jealous, envious, or maybe just stuck and can't tap in to your full potential? this episode is going to be for you. At To Be Magnetic, we see expanders as people, situations, even energy that allows our subconscious to know what we want and what's possible for us is out there. And just by witnessing it, ingesting it, being around it, we start to expand to see, to believe what we want is truly possible. That's why on today's episodes, we're going to hear from some of our community members and some of their most inspiring manifestation stories. Not only will you get expanded from hearing how they approach things, what patterns happened for them, how they moved through them, but even hearing in someone's voice, their confidence or their clarity, that starts to emanate to you. I was speaking in my broadcast channel on Instagram, how not only can you be expanded by the material things that someone does, but you can also be expanded by people's energy. What energy do you want to show up with? What life force do you want to show up with? That is something that you can pick up so much in this episode as well. Okay. Let's get into it. Hey, Lacey and Jessica, the money challenge and this whole year has been such an interesting portal for me. First of all, I finally fundamentally understand how money is literally energy. Just a small example, I had sent my friend an Uber Eats gift card because their dad was in the hospital. And in the following days, I got different discounts at stores. I got a credit to my electricity account and my online trainer just didn't charge me for three months of workouts. And it was so interesting to see that what we give can come back to us in so many different ways. Also during the challenge, I went back to my hometown to spend time with my parents. Connection is part of my authentic code. And I just wanted to spend time with them outside of being there for a holiday or an event or whatever. but just to connect. During that trip, they gave me a check to pay off my student loans. They had gotten a refund of some money, which was a magnetic story in its own right. But then they decided to give it to me and I'm not financially dependent on my parents at all. So this was totally unexpected and a huge manifestation. Finally, in 2024, after the summer challenge, I manifested my dream job. I'm a physician assistant, and I finally manifested a job in dermatology that I'd been calling in for almost two years. When I started in 2025, I was only given part-time hours, so I was working between there and an LGBTQ health clinic. In the dermatology job, I met somebody who, through talking with me, ended up donating $100,000 to the LGBT clinic, which was a huge manifestation because of all the federal funding that was pulled by the current administration. I was basically still focusing on going full-time into dermatology until out of the blue, the LGBT clinic offered me a full-time job, this robust offer, kind of all the cards on the table. I ended up accepting and through a lot of reflection and conversations, I realized that I had never really been fully comfortable at the dermatology job. There was kind of a lack of clear communication and directness and things that are just part of my authentic code and that are important to me. And the outside offer that I received, again, was all inclusive. They were super direct, clear, accommodating. And I realized that the dream job I had called in actually lacked a lot of the most important qualities to me. But there was a lot of rhetoric in my head like Durham is where all the money is. Once you get into Durham, you don't leave. You know, you got this opportunity. You can't walk away from it. But I'm really glad that the universe presents what is meant for us and nudges us in the right direction. I'm glad I didn't get rock bottomed and I kind of had the choice. But I do think it was such a manifestation that I wasn't expecting at all. And I'm so thankful for TBM that I had the clarity to read the energetics of the situation in real time and realized that I had kind of given up, again, these qualities that are more important than what I thought I was going to get by the quote unquote dream job. So thank you guys so much. I can't wait for the 2025 winter challenge and to see what the rest of the year holds. I love this. I had so many pings coming through when he was talking. So I'll kind of go in order for you guys. So one, I just want to point out that this member has manifested all of these things I was clocking through multiple challenge cycles. Now, if you're not familiar with TBM, we have two challenge cycles a year. And they're really just incubators and amplifiers. So we can take all of the energy collectively and work through certain things in a very dedicated period of time. because it's way less sustainable to be doing a full challenge 365 of the year. I kind of see the TBM work as like you have these chapters in the year, whether you're doing the challenges with us, or maybe you're going through a workshop where you're like really hyper-focused, you're doing it every day, you're unblocking, you're ripping apart all these things. And then there's almost like the maintenance mode, which is like the daily practice. This is where you're tracking your tests and triggers, you're listening to your DIs, you're working on the neuroplasticity, you're kind of dancing with the universe in those in-between phases where you're not, you don't have a directive goal. You're kind of just noticing what's coming up and then responding by the appropriate tool for that season. That's how I've been working with it at least. So I just want to talk to anyone. If you have been on the fence about joining a challenge before, this is where the magic happens is during the challenge cycles. And our return to magic challenge is still available for anyone who wants to jump into that one. The second thing was money is energetics. Now I want to be very clear that this person did not gift their friend the gift card because they wanted money in return. It wasn't like, well, I want more money. So I'm going to give this money away. It's when you are giving money from alignment, from trust, like, you know what? I really want to help out in this way. This makes me feel good. This lights me up. Money has a way of circulating back to us. This is a lesson I've had to learn again and again, especially as I increase my income, my wealth, all of those things, because it's cyclical. It moves out and then it moves in. There's times of higher spend, higher giving, and then there's times of higher receiving. And the more we can train our nervous system to feel safe in those ebbs and flows and notice the lows are not going to stick around forever. And that if we already almost anticipate that the low is just a temporary thing and we'll know how to move out of it, it prepares us to start thinking of the ways to move out of it. So just want to give that one for anyone who's going through any money tests and triggers. The next piece is the energetics around getting the money from the parents. So this is really interesting because you really need to look at what your patterning is. If this person had said, I live off my parents for XYZ things, or they still pay for all of these things for me. And then they wanted to pay this lump sum of, you know, helping me out with my student loans on top of it, that might be a test because what you're communicating to the universe is this is your only bank account. This is the only place that you're open to receiving money from, right? It's saying that like, I'm dependent on this. I'm having trouble opening my own portals, but for this person, they don't rely on their parents for it. It's not like they have this ongoing portal that they're trying to close down and open up to other outside opportunities. They don't have a portal there. So when you have a big lump sum come in, that is the manifestation. And I just want to put that out there because sometimes people are gifted things from their parents or family and they're like, oh, if I accept it, am I blocking? No. If your pattern has not been to rely on that source and it's just this generous opportunity without strings attached, meaning that you don't have to do a certain thing emotionally. So your parents will gift you this or whatever, then receive it as the manifestation that it is. The last thing for this one was this energetic of the job. I think we are going to be asked to look at this aspect for us so much this year. And what I mean by that is when you look at your manifestation list, where have you artificially put glass ceilings around the true energetics of what you want to call in by giving your manifestation a very concrete framework. So in this person's instance, they thought they could only have the dream job if they went into dermatology. But if they look beneath the surface, what they were really wanting was really good income, clear communication, a team that they could build with. Like there was all these other components to it. And they thought, okay, given my skill set and my schooling, the only way through that is dermatology. That's a limitation. So think about your manifestation list. And is there any aspect that you can start to be a bit more flexible to how it comes out? It doesn't mean you shouldn't seek that dermatology job. It doesn't mean you shouldn't be on the path to working there, but you should also allow any pings and awareness that comes through in between that maybe is a little left of center, maybe isn't quite the path that you thought it was going to be on, but it ultimately is guiding you to everything you truly want from a soul level place, knowing that your needs and your financial needs will be met there as well. So this is just kind of a lesson in opening up the expansion of what the structure, what the foundation of your actual manifestation could look like because it doesn't have to be in one bucket in one category and you can still get all of your needs met. Hi Jessica, Lacey and the Expanded team. Rebecca here. I wanted to share a little bit about my return to magic experience because it honestly surprised me in the best way When I came into this challenge I was thinking I I was here to make magic happen I thought manifestation was just another way for me to generate things I a generator in my human design And so I like okay what am I manifesting What am I calling in? How do I move things forward? And what I realized pretty quickly is that this work wasn't about the doing at all. It was about the being. A huge theme for me was nervous system safety. And I saw so clearly how much of my life has been spent performing, being the good one, the competent one, the likable one, and how often that meant abandoning myself without even realizing it. So this inner child work really brought that into focus. And what felt magical wasn't some big external manifestation. Since the challenge, I've had a ton of huge external manifestations, but it was really about slowing down and letting myself play and daydream and rest. And so even in the middle of really normal work days, doing that and realizing that when I did that, I actually felt clearer, more energized and more aligned, not less productive, just more of myself. So I think the biggest takeaway for me is that magnetism doesn't come from hustling or fixing or proving. And you can be a hustler, but it comes from feeling safe in your body, from trusting yourself, from not hiding anymore and owning that confidence. So this return to magic challenge really became about this idea that being magic is what makes me magnetic. not trying harder not performing better just being rooted in who I actually am and really believing in myself and knowing that I am already made of magic so I'm really grateful for this work it genuinely changed how I'm moving into the new year I believe that it's also changing the space and the air around me so those external manifestations did come through but first it was all about the inner work. Thank you guys so much. This one gets me emotional. I just feel like this is what I wish for all of you to really see that everything you're chasing, all the goals that you want, all the manifestations you want to call in, it's about the remembrance. It's about having that felt sense within you that you are magical, You are worthy. You are powerful. You have so much to offer. You don't need to prove it to anyone. You can just live in your joy and excitement and share your gifts and your passions, your interests. You don't have to perform. You don't have to check a box. And when you finally feel confident owning that about yourself, when you can source your self-worth and your inner safety from within, instead of looking to all these external places for validation and confirmation, that is where you take your power back. That is one of the most delightful experiences we can experience as human beings is to truly see and witness the joy and love that is already within us. And so just hearing this member go through this, I'm like, yes, this is everything. And this really hits on the theme that we started talking about in this first expander story that all the external things we think we're chasing, if we can understand our why and cultivating that ideal experience, how we want to experience getting our manifestations, how we want to experience integrating and up-leveling with our manifestations, that's really the beauty of the work. That is the thing that is going to change your life. Getting external things are nice, but if we don't know how to live within them in an embodied state, in a state that we feel safe and secure and confident, you could get whatever material thing you want. It's not going to change that lived experience. And so, so much of this return to magic challenge and all the work that we do at TBM is really knocking and chipping back away at how can I start to live within the containers of my life and still, you know, strive and want to achieve and be ambitious. But how can I let my lived experience every step of the way just feel more and more embodied? I feel more at home within myself. Love this one. Hi, Lacey and Jessica. I've been doing 2B Magnetic since 2017, and I've manifested, oh my God, so much. But in regards to this challenge, I just wanted to share that it was exactly what my soul needed this year. I became a mom, and my daughter just turned one years old. Leading up to her first birthday, I was in the depths of this challenge in terms of doing the DIs. And I just have to say that as a new mom, I highly recommend doing inner child work. It is so confronting in the best way possible. Things that I feel like I didn't get in my childhood really came to the surface and helped me to see that I can do things differently as a mom. It's been so beautiful to do that, to nurture my inner child in a way with my most magnetic parents and to see myself become that most magnetic parent because as I am nurturing my child, I'm nurturing also my inner child. About eight months ago, I was really craving a mom community and making mom friends. And so a friend of mine and I actually started one. And in six weeks, I ended up growing over 400 moms. It's something that I look forward to every single week. And we're actually doing a really amazing aligned event in February and the amount of brand deals that are coming, brand opportunities, free PR for this event. We have a sponsor that's paying for the entire event. Like it has been an unfolding like no other. So all this to say, thank you, Lacey and Jessica and the 2B Magnetic team. This work is by far, to me, the only thing that has truly worked. So thank you guys. This makes me so happy. This is something I've heard a lot, especially with our Return to Magic Challenge, that whether you are just wanting to work on your relationship with your inner child and those parts of self and reparenting your childhood, or you're looking to be a more magnetic parent to your kids, or you're maybe preparing mentally for having kids one day, I couldn't help but think about that. You know, I don't have kids yet and I do want kids one day and I don't know when that will be, but there is a part of me that feels like through this challenge, I was really thinking about what kind of parent I would be and how I'd want to show up and what lessons I'd want to imbue and instill. And it just started planting some seeds subconsciously. And we've heard from a lot of parents out there this challenge and how they're able to interact with their kids. Even doing the magnetic inner child rituals with them has been so expansive and so healing on so many levels. One of my friends actually DMed me this morning and was saying how watching her nieces and nephews play and interact and watching her parents interact with the nieces and nephews was so healing and just unlocked so much for her and allowed her to see things from such a different lens. And yeah, I just want to echo that if anyone's feeling into that right now, that it makes perfect sense. That's kind of the nature of this work that you're able to have all of this generational healing. I really believe that when we go in and look at the parts of us that were wounded or didn't get our needs met, and we can meet them with love and compassion from our higher self, like we are healing, not only our generation, but those in front of us, those behind us, like it is such a palpable thread that you can't really describe. And I don't know if there's science behind it being factual, but it is a felt sense that I have felt and a lot of people have echoed something similar. So curious if you guys have felt that as well, but just know that if you are struggling to come back to the work or you're having a hard time being consistent with it or returning to those things, even if it's not this challenge, even if it's any sort of internal work, just know that it's more than just you that it's impacting and not in a way of burden or responsibility, but that you also have this beautiful blessing of getting to impact so many people around you. The people you meet, the kids you interact with, whether they're yours or a relative's or a friend's, there's such a ripple effect in it. So just echoing how incredible that is with this work. hello everyone so as a result of return to magic challenge i manifested something absolutely magical because i manifested inerit self-worth finally feeling chosen feeling seen and feeling enough i am finally feeling that i don't need anything or anyone for me to feel safe for me to feel good about myself. And before I go into that, to give you a bit of a background, I am a gay man who grew up in Poland. And around 11 years ago, actually, I left my home country, Poland, because I just felt that there was a lot of rejection towards gay people. And for me to fully heal and integrate my sexuality, I just had to move out. And I just think that as a result, I created some sort of a barrier protection mechanism that was creating this image in my head that Poland is just an awful place to be. I was just basically that I was just self-protecting myself, right? And every time I would go back to Poland, it would be such a dreadful experience for me. I would count the days until I'm returning back home. So funny enough, I was doing the Return to Magic challenge when I was in Poland with my family during Christmas time and something absolutely magical happened that I did not expect. I think because I was reconnecting to my inner child back in my home country where lots of things happened, it created such a magical shift of energy. And my relationship with my home country completely shifted. Since then, I'm feeling extremely comfortable being in Poland. I feel that I reconnected with people, with culture, with music, with language, with everything that was surrounding me. And of course, that was being translated to the way people were treating me, the way I was feeling about myself, that I was feeling safe. I was feeling all right, just the way I am. I didn't feel the need of making myself small as I used to. It's just such a beautiful feeling. Now I see that there's nothing more important than really feeling that we are connected to our roots and to our ancestors and to our family. I just think that it was such a huge piece for me to integrate I was not even aware of for me to really manifest beautiful things this upcoming year So thank you so much for putting such a wonderful tool out there And thank you all the TBM team for putting so much love into this work I wish all the best for everyone who's listening to this podcast. What a cool message. This is a healing masterclass. When we look at our background and upbringing, usually some of our biggest infringements and pain points and ruptures happen there, whether it's the set, the setting, the people, the environment, all of the above. And we can associate that setting with why things went so wrong. And I think the healing journey is one, definitely stepping out and creating a safe environment so you can heal. What is the quote? You can't heal in the same environment that harmed you. So if you step out and you start to live differently and start to build up your own sense of security and you're, you know, you're really identifying like who are you as an individual without all of the inputs of the people that were trying to keep you small or didn't understand you or weren't really seeing you for all of your fullness and greatness. that's a journey we have to go on. It's this maturing process. It's why kids leave home to start their own families. It's this process of individuating. And when we can do that and reconcile with, okay, let me look at those messages. Like what did I learn from this environment about who I was and what made me safe and what I had to do? What were my survival armors that I picked up that I thought I had to be? And which ones no longer fit and are actually impeding my growth and impeding that process. And then I think one of the most beautiful things is when you can then go back and look at that environment or that dynamic and see it with new eyes. And not to say that those horrible things may not have happened there or those messages didn't happen there, but can you rewrite the story to a new experience, an integrated experience to go back to those spaces as the you you are today, being so confident in who you are, really knowing your worth, really knowing your value, sourcing your safety within, which also means having really strong, healthy boundaries in the spaces that don't honor who you are today. And I think the fact that this member was able to go back in and have that experience and instead of perpetuate this narrative that it must, you know, which makes so much sense as a kid, you're like, oh, it's just this place. Like, cause I had a good experience over here, but this place, it was bad. It must be the place that's the problem. And that may be so in some ways, but in other ways, is there an opportunity to integrate into that place in a different way and to see it through new eyes and to see it through the fullness of who you are today? Now, for some people, the answer might still be, nope, still not the place I want to be. And that's totally fine too. But I do think that there is an opportunity to merge the trueness of yourself now with the, I don't want to say the shadow of the past, but the remnants of the past. I mean, I really experience this every time I go home because there was such an identity and version of myself that lived there during that time. And going home, it almost feels like I revert back to that smaller self. And really the key and the blessing is, can I remain who I am today? while also going back to a place that it feels easy to revert back to my younger self and those pain points. But can I actually bring my higher self in that environment? And I think that adds a whole nother layer to healing and integration. And yeah, I've had glimmers of that. I haven't gone back home in a while, but the past few times I've had, I've really felt like I could hold who I was today in that space. And it's really powerful and really just fortifies your trust muscle with yourself in a big way. Congratulations. If there was one practice that I could recommend to you that has transformed my life more than anything else, it has been the 2B Magnetic work. Obviously, I may be biased because I am the chief content officer. I'm the host of the podcast. I develop all the workshops with the brand, but it is also the tool that has helped my life the most. When I am in a season of doubt, when I'm in a season of fear or tests or triggers, when I am trying to get clarity on my next chapter, when I'm trying to design a life for my future that I want to be really deeply connected to my soul, to my potential, to my purpose, to my ambition. TBM houses all the tools and workshops that you need to connect deeper to yourself and not let your past patterning, your past programming, your limiting beliefs run the show anymore. Because every time I get tripped up on one of those things, it is always younger versions of myself coming in, taking the driver's seat and running rampant. And until I can connect with them through the TBM work and really learn to process it in a new way and recontextualize the things, that is when my life actually shifts and I reprogram my neural pathways to be in alignment with what I truly want, which is how you manifest. If you are interested in joining the pathway, we have a special offer for our podcast guests where you can get the first month for $20 and then join our annual membership. You can use this work through our various workshops that we teach you how to manifest. We go through an inner child program. There's a shadow program, one for rut, rock bottom, money, love, you name it, or you can use it as a daily tool to reprogram in the moment issues as they come up to reset your nervous system, give you high self-worth, reconnect with your magnetic self, or talk to your inner child part that may be in the way and running the show and self-sabotaging. So if you're getting the paying to join TBM. Now's the time and you can use code EXPANDED for $20 off your first month to join the pathway. Hi Lacey. Hi Jessica and hi TBM community. I've been a member since 2018 and I was super keen to dive into the Return to Magic challenge. Just before the challenge was announced though, a video of me showed up very randomly on my Instagram feed of me when I was five years old when I appeared on a TV show and I didn't search for it. It just appeared out of nowhere and I'm just this little five-year-old doing what you do on a TV show for five-year-olds and it caught me by surprise. And then two weeks later, the Return to Magic challenge was announced. So I had about three weeks off over the Christmas holidays, and I really gave myself that space to dig into everything that was in that challenge from that perspective of me as that five-year-old, even though we go through all the different ages. What I felt after that was just such a sincere love for my inner child and how she deserves absolutely everything. After the challenge, lo and behold, I was getting a lot of tests, a test around my worth, my career, what I want to expand into. Even though I've been with TBM since 2018, this challenge really solidified for me that deep understanding and that deep knowing that you have to really have that worthiness from that inner child to be able to roll through tests easy. What I'm calling in is still coming, but this has been super transformational for me and for anybody else out there that is thinking about doing the challenge. Think of that five-year-old little you and do it for them and then just watch the magic come from there. Thanks so much for the challenge and thanks everyone at TBM. Oh, I love this. I also think it's really wild how the universe, it's magic, it's just mysticism. I don't know, but the fact that this video of her as a five-year-old started circling the internet right before she needed to connect with it, I feel like if we are attuned and aware of our environment, if we are present enough, we will get these little messages from the universe guiding us exactly where we need to go all the time. And I am both in awe and not surprised that that happened for her. I also want to point out one thing she mentioned in that the Return to Magic Challenge goes through all of the phases of childhood development. and what you really needed at each phase to become a fully secure, worthy, confident, sourcing your safety within, sourcing your self-worth within. And it goes through different ages. But one thing that I have even noticed too, is especially if you have one sticking point or one chapter or one aspect of self where it may not be directly age-related or maybe it just was one age, you can go through meeting that need for that age through all of the phases. So in the deep imagining, it will say like, bring forward your toddler self. When did you not feel like this was met? If you're like, I want to bring through when this wasn't met, but I wasn't a toddler, bring through that age. And this is just kind of a small nuance for people going through the work to really make it your own. Your gut, your soul will be like, I really need my five-year-old to meet here, even though this is talking about the toddler phase. So I'm going to bring that version forth and reprogram around that still meeting all those needs. So just give yourself permission to utilize the work as you want. And then the last piece on this one is the tests. So I think the more you do this work, the more you build a trust muscle with yourself, tests are just a part of life. They're kind of your curriculum for what you need to look at and work on. And they're not a punishment. They're not something you did wrong. They're really just a roadmap of things that it's kind of poking out. Okay. Like we could, we could work on this a little bit more, or this is being called to heal a little bit more, or maybe here's an opportunity to navigate this with intention. Whenever someone like oh my God I so mad at all of these tests I totally get it And the more that you can change your relationship to the tests and see them as these roadmaps back to you and back to yourself and your safety the more you, they won't feel as destabilizing as they hit you. And the more they'll feel like, oh, okay, I see what's going on here. It's not comfortable, but I know I can handle it, especially when you have that true inner confidence within you. Just want to share about for anyone too. Hi, Lacey and Jessica. I am so excited to share this with you. So at the end of the year, I had two major rock bottoms, my pet of 10 years who had gotten really sick after the LA fires passed. And then three weeks after I found out that I was losing my job. And then the next day was the Los Angeles book tour. So I was really, really sad. I will not say that I wasn't, but luckily I had done a lot of somatic work. I knew that I was going to be okay. I went to the book tour, met some amazing women and I have been tested a lot. But after losing my job, instead of doing something that I think would be helpful, for example, returning something I had bought to save money or applying to any job just to see what would come through. I took a step back and I had just bought a mattress and I didn't return the mattress and then the mattress got paid for. So that was one manifestation. The second was I have had three job interviews, one of which went really well and then they paused hiring for it. And I heard back from them yesterday and they want to advance me. So people are saying, how are you getting job interview so quickly. And I want to say it's magic, but it's actually to be magnetic. I've been doing it for six months and I just had a date the other day. So things are happening. I'm so excited. And the opposite is the medicine. And that's what I keep telling myself. Thank you. Oh, so good. Also like the perfect follow-up story after mentioning tests, because this is a practical application of it. So when these tests, horrible tests, like heart wrenching, grief-inducing gut-wrenching tests like losing a pet, having the stability of your job getting ripped out from under you. It's not to say that they're not painful, but when she had the foresight to know, okay, this is hard right now, but I know I can come out of it on the other side. I know the sun will shine again. I know I just need to move through these feelings and it's not to bypass the feelings. She felt the emotion. She felt the sadness. She sat in the grief and probably is still going to process it in so many different ways. But it's knowing that, okay, if this is happening, there is something else for me out here. This is not a roadblock. This is not, you know, the road ends here. This is okay. This is a pivot. I need to recalibrate. I need to stabilize. I need to source that safety. And now how can I look at my patterns? And this person sounds like a really good pattern reader at their energetics. So they looked at in the past when money felt scarce, when I felt like there was an instability with income, I would return things. That was her pattern. So now when she's faced with that same dynamic again, is she going to play small and return things to try to create safety immediately? Is she going to apply to every single job just to get back to that sense of safety, that's leaning on the external to source safety. Instead, she said, you know what? I'm safe within. Things are going to move in. Things are going to move out, but I have a trust, a trust muscle that I can figure it out and it'll come back in again. And I don't need to play small or return these things. I love this mattress. I want a comfortable place to sleep. And so she didn't return the mattress and that brought her so much magnetism. The mattress wound up getting paid for by itself, you know, which I think is kind of like a wink of the universe. Like, okay, we see you. You did a good job. We'll take care of you on this one. And then the jobs coming through and the relationship opportunities coming through. It's basically saying, if you are not going to play small and settle and outsource your self-worth to playing small and settling, we can then come in and reward you. The universe can come in and meet you where you're now at, where you're not going to settle and you see your own worth and value and what you bring to the table. And that is the magic. That's the magic of the work. Hey, TBM. So the biggest thing that I have manifested with the magic workshop, and it's been in the last couple of days, has actually just been learning to be present. I've always been in a rush to get somewhere, to get something, to have something. And I actually have learned this week, it's really odd that it's just come about, that I'm in so much more of a flow state when I'm just present with what I'm doing, what I'm doing at work, where I am, and everything just feels so much lighter and peaceful. And trusting the fact that everything I've ever wanted in life, even without writing it down on a piece of paper, just seems to happen. And I was thinking about this yesterday. I've got a job where I get to help designers design houses. And I used to live in a mountain town. and my partner and I recently moved up to a city town just to save a bit of money. When I was in that mountain town, I was working as a project manager and I dreamed that I could work doing houses and doing houses in really cool mountain towns. And then lo and behold, I get a job in a city town and I'm working for a developer. And it turns out that they just decided to recently move into developing houses in mountain towns. and I've been put on all the mountain town jobs. The very town that I used to live in, that I wished I could do developing in is now the town that I get to basically choose how houses look and it's really exciting. So just trusting the process and it's fabulous. Oh, I love this. And this is actually a really good example of the energetics of sound and hearing an expander because even her talking about presence, like I felt my nervous system calm. I felt it relax and settle. And so when you are in that state of presence in reflection, in calmness, curiosity, awe, wonder, all the things, and then you interact with someone from that space, they're picking up on all these subtle nuances that are said in the way your voice lands, in the way that your body language is. They can feel that inner peace and inner confidence emanating off of you. So just something to think about when you're interacting with expanders. Can you pick up on the calm, cool collectedness of their energy and know that that energy is also possible for you as well? I also just think it's so cool when you have something sort of specific, but also just aligned where you want to develop something in mountain homes, you know, and then you work for a developer in the city thinking there's no way that's going to be possible. And then somehow it aligns. And I think that's the power and the magic of attuning to the present moment and really being in touch with your truth and surrender. Like the biggest thing of this is she was in full surrender that if she just followed the pings, was on the path, is doing that inner healing work. She's present in the moment. She's not trying to orchestrate and future plan and control everything. She's just like, okay, let me universe, like, let's see what it is. And then getting the job that directly gets her where she wanted. in, there's that, that hunger and that passion that you want to have towards your goals, your manifestations, but you also want to have that delicateness. You want to have that surrender. You want to have that. I love this, but I'm holding it loosely, but you want to hold these things lightly. You want to not control them coming through in a very specific way. And that's that presence helps us get back into that state of surrender. So I think the themes for you guys to think about this week, listening to this expansion is where in my life can I really slow down and tune into those parts of me that are asking to be looked at, asking to be nurtured, asking for more presence, asking to do things an authentic way to you. And for some people, depending upon where you're at in your journey, I know I felt this when someone's like, what's your authentic thing? I'm like, what is that? Like, what do you mean? I don't even understand. And it really has been a testament to this work and especially the inner child work. Like this return to magic challenge, I feel like I have really seen these aspects of my authenticity in such a way that I have never connected to before. So if you're someone who's kind of questioning, like, what does it mean to be authentic for you? What does that look like? what are the, what's the scaffolding of that? The authentic code exercise and how to manifest is amazing. The return to magic challenge is amazing. And really just getting curious. The authenticity challenge is also really good, especially the first two weeks in there. But these are just some of the places where you can start chipping away. Like, okay, if we drop off all of that, like what lights up my soul, what sets my heart on fire and, and just feel so good for me. And what do I need uniquely to feel safe inside? What's the conditions, the environment, the friend groups, the job that allows me to thrive? And thinking about, you know, some of the manifestations for people where it's like they wanted the environment of the job to be the thing that allows them to thrive so much. So just think about that authentic lens of how you're approaching your goals and what you're going after this season. And also in your manifestations, thinking about what energy do you want to be living in? What energy do you want to bring out into the world? How do you want to share that energy with others? You know, with so much going on in the world and so much cruelty and challenge and suffering and pain and grief and all of these things, how can we be that light? How can we look at our stuff, process our emotions so then we can be out there and share that? And And especially now, it's so important to source that safety within to not deny the things that may be destabilizing out there, but to say, okay, I see that. And what can I do for me that's even going to help me 1% better in this moment? I think that's going to be really important in the season and over this year as there's so much change that's going to be happening. So sending you guys so much love. If you feel called to join any of the challenges, I highly recommend it. We still have our return to magic one going right now, which is where a lot of these members talked about. Our money one is still available as well. This really is the work of returning back to yourself and starting to live your life from magic and being open to the possibility for miracles and magic to happen. See you next week. you
