Buy the Suitcase First: How Aligned Action Opens Doors
In this episode, Andrea and Mel share how taking small, intentional steps—even before the thing you want shows up—can move mountains.
Manifesting isn’t just about vision boards and waiting on signs. It’s about preparing yourself for what you want as if it’s already on the way. From buying a suitcase to book a future flight, to lining up support for a business that hasn’t launched yet, this conversation is about building evidence through action and making space for your next big chapter.
Inside the episode:
✨ Andrea’s “suitcase moment” and how it led to her dream speaking gig
✨ Mel’s paint biz relaunch and the bold moves that made it real
✨ How to know if you’re operating from fear or faith
✨ The overlooked magic of preparing with joy instead of pressure
Whether you're manifesting a speaking career, a biz pivot, or just a new version of yourself, this episode will help you move from “waiting” to “creating.”
