Manifestation doesn’t have to feel woo, unrealistic, or reserved for “lucky” people. In this episode, we’re breaking down how to take control of your life using manifestation as a practical, empowering tool. Jenna opens up about her personal journey with anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck, and how learning to work with her subconscious helped her shift her life in real, tangible ways. She’s not an expert — just someone who watched manifestation work when nothing else did.

We explore why manifestation matters heading into 2026, how it actually works (subconscious mind, neuroplasticity, energy), and why it’s less about “getting things” and more about becoming the most aligned, confident, magnetic version of yourself.

✨ In This Episode, We Cover:

Why manifestation works (subconscious mind, neuroplasticity & energy)

Rewiring beliefs formed in childhood

Manifesting from your authentic self — not ego

The role of aligned action

Simple manifestation practices (journaling, visualization, vision boards)

Why nighttime visualization is so powerful

What to expect when manifestation starts working (clarity, ease, confidence, opportunities)

In today’s episode, we sit down with licensed psychologist and our close friend, Dr. Emily Matis, for an honest, deeply human conversation about mental health, Alzheimer's, the mind–body connection, and how emotional experiences can manifest physically.

Emily shares her personal journey navigating her father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, offering insight into grief, resilience, and what it’s like to witness cognitive decline in real time. She also discusses her evolving hypothesis around potential contributors to neurodegenerative disease beyond genetics alone.

Somehow we still managed to giggle in between getting raw and vulnerable, because isn't that what life's about?!

Together, we explore:

• How stress, anxiety, and trauma show up in the body
• The brain–gut connection and why mental health matters for physical healing
• How Alzheimer's can impact far more than the person experiencing it
• What vulnerability actually looks like in real life
• How to support your mind–body connection intentionally
• Therapists are human too

Adriana opens up about her own esthetic journey, including bad outcomes that inspired her to create The Maeva Method - a more thoughtful, communicative, and balanced approach to injectables and skin health. She explains what truly separates good injectors from scary ones, how to tell whether Botox or filler is right for you, why migration isn’t always what people think, and what actually delivers lasting results.

We also dive into:

- Facial balancing and why subtlety matters

- Overrated treatments vs. what actually works

- BBL vs. microneedling — which should you get and when?

Whether you’ve never touched injectables or you’re curious about upgrading your treatment plan, this episode is honest, educational, empowering, and will leave you knowing what to prioritize (and what to skip) for your face.

This week, we sit down with Zach Gates (celebrity and professional athlete trainer, and owner of one of LA’s most exclusive gyms) to talk about what really works when it comes to training, building muscle, and longevity.

In this episode, we asked him what women are doing wrong in the gym, how to train smarter, what’s actually worth spending your time and money on, and of course Zach’s best booty building tips.

We also trained with Zach before recording (and our booties are still paying for it). He called out how to actually structure your workouts, shared his go-to splits, and gave us a no-BS look into how he approaches performance, health, and balance.
