Like, are there SIGNS before what you're manifesting actually happens? My short answer: hell YES, there ARE signs! Amazing, magical, and metaphysical ones, too. 😉

You can 100% KNOW when you're on the right track, and when you are not. With outright EXPECTING the magic shiz, straight up! And this episode (no. 51) of the HEXOTICA podcast, I explain:

🪄Why your identity and mindset is the key to knowing if your manifesting skills on are track - or not

🪄What 'energetic alignment' to your higher, authentic self means and why BEING aligned is super important if you want your manifesting to work for you

🪄The subtle SIGNS and weird coincidences you can start looking out for to know when your manifesting is working for you - and why I believe these happen more often when we are aligned with the version of ourselves that already has what we desire!

Don't miss this episode if you would like evidence and encouragement that your manifesting is working for you. ✨

Who is MAL (Melanie Ann Layer), and what cult marketing skills can we observe in one of her free LIVE videos that could help us with our coaching business growth?🤔

A while back, I watched a free LIVE video by Melanie Ann Layer, the founder of the $100 million Alpha Femme brand...

It was quite mesmerizing, so I took down the transcript and started analyzing it over the course of several weeks. I noticed several fascinating cult marketing skills at work and I learned quite a LOT from it that every aspiring coach or mentor will find extremely useful for their coaching business growth.

So in this episode of the Hexotica podcast, I share my notes and take a deep dive to reveal:

🪄Melanie's masterful use of cult marketing skills to create the Alpha Femme world of loyal, highly engaged fans and clients

🪄The specific and nuanced structure and phrases she uses to attract, retain, and reward attention throughout the LIVE video

🪄Why cult marketing skills and branding are NOT inherently manipulative, scammy, or even uncommon!

Whether you LOVE or dislike the Alpha Femme brand, if you enjoy marketing and you're keen to sharpen your own brand messaging, you won't want to miss this cult marketing skills analysis.💫

Please note: HEXOTICA and Christine Rice Creative are in no way affiliated or associated with the Alpha Femme brand, and this is NOT a paid endorsement. This is a personal, factual observation of a free, public LIVE video that was published on Melanie Ann Layer's Facebook page. All of the opinions and observations expressed in this episode are 100% my own.🤘

Please ALSO Note: While I invite an open discussion of this analysis, ZERO hate or hateful MAL-bashing will be tolerated in my comments. Haters or offensive comments will be blocked. Go fester on Reddit with that. ☠️

If you've ever wondered HOW energetic people get so much energy, this episode explores one possibility you may have NEVER considered before...

Because while we often talk about creating energy through sleep, a healthy diet, and adequate exercise, we don't often talk about how we create energy spiritually with how we view the world.

And we ALSO talk a lot about PROTECTING our energy from external things and people - but how do we protect our energy within ourselves?✨

So that's what this (potentially LIFE-changing!) episode explores, including;

🪄 The secret mindset habit that successful, highly energetic people understand that creates an enormous capacity for handling stress and hardship in their lives

🪄What highly energetic people prioritize over self-discipline (and how it helps them stay more motivated, too!)

🪄How learning how to CREATE energy throughout your day can help you end your day with as much energy as you had in the morning!⚡

If you'd love to live a life where you feel pulled instead of feeling pushed, this episode is for you!
