Have you ever felt impatient while waiting for your manifestations to come through? Same, friend. And I’m talking all about it in this rewind episode from March of 2022.

Though I didn’t consciously know what manifestation until my 20’s, I realized I’d been manifesting my entire life. In fact, we all have. We all have the power to manifest, and we are all constantly manifesting whether we’re aware of it or not.

And when we become aware, we’re able to intentionally tap into our manifestation power. I discuss my personal experiences learning about and understanding manifestation, some manifestations I’ve had come through, and how I’m learning to be patient and prepare for my manifestations to come through in the physical realm.

I also talk about…
My experiences with manifestation from childhood to now.
How to adequately prepare for your manifestations while you’re waiting for them to come through.
The importance of divine timing and being clear on what is and isn’t for you.
Practices that have helped me manifest.
Why understanding your human design can help you become a more powerful manifestor.

#232: What does it look like to be in your power? In some instances, power can be a bold proclamation, and at other times it can be a calm, quiet knowing. When we aren’t in our power, we can feel stuck, burned out, or like we aren’t living up to our potential. However, we can learn how to reframe our relationship with power to use it as a tool for growth.

Today I’m sitting down with entrepreneur, author, and founder of Woman Evolve, Sarah Jakes Roberts for a powerful conversation on how to build confidence, embrace flexibility, and make power moves.

We Also Talk About…Sarah’s experience stepping into her power in each area of her lifeWhat inspired Sarah’s new book “Power Moves: Ignite Your Confidence and Become a Force”The difference between being prepared and trying to control the outcomeFinding power in vulnerability and how to identify what you’re afraid ofWays to improve your decision-making skills when you’re feeling anxious or depressedHow to create a vision for yourself and find opportunities that empower youIntention setting and giving yourself permission to restTips for approaching burnout and ways to embrace flexibility
