  • Why Do the Holidays Bring Out Our Biggest Emotional Triggers?

    Send us a text

    Tinsel, tension, and trauma — oh my! In this special holiday episode of Manifest This! Believer vs. Skeptic, Jennifer (the Believer) swears the season is an energetic magnifying glass for our emotions, while Sharon (the Skeptic) insists it’s just too many relatives in too small a room.

    From “therapy with tinsel” to “trauma portals at Christmas dinner,” the duo unwraps why the holidays seem to hit us right in the feels — family patterns, money guilt, grief, comparison, and all. Jennifer offers her “energetic prescription” for surviving the season (hint: it’s more breathwork, less panic shopping), and Sharon… may just admit that frequency shifts aren’t total nonsense after all.

    Funny, heartfelt, and painfully relatable, this episode reminds us that even when it’s messy, it’s still love trying to find its way home.

  • Manifestation Meets Effort: When the Universe Hands You the Ball

    Send us a text

    Is manifesting your dream life about waiting for signs, vision boards, and letting the Universe do all the work? Or does success require getting off the sidelines and taking your shot when opportunity knocks? This week on Manifest This: Believer vs. Skeptic, Jennifer (energy enthusiast and cosmic experimenter) and Sharon (practical skeptic and spreadsheet realist) dig into the misunderstood dance between aligned energy and real-world effort.

    You’ll laugh and groan along as Jennifer and Sharon tackle:

    • The myth of effortless manifestation – why “Don’t chase, attract!” isn’t a ticket to lazy wish-making
    • How to tell the difference between inspired action and anxious hustle
    • True stories from their own lives, including “closing the loop” between idea and execution (and what happens if you never press send)
    • Sharon’s cruise ship speaking gig saga: Law of Assumption meets actual emails and the moment confidence wins out over desperation
    • What to do when effort feels scary, and the Universe’s nudge is both thrilling and nerve-wracking
    • Jennifer’s Manifestation Prescription™: When action feels a little scary but a lot right, leap! (And why your burrito can’t come in if you never open the door)

    It’s funny, blunt, and full of practical “aha!” moments for anyone stuck between magical thinking and real life movement. Whether you align with the cosmic or the concrete, tune in for lively debates, actionable takeaways, and Sharon’s skeptic homework: Is your “waiting” really just fear wrapped in spiritual clothing?

    Press play and discover whether it’s possible to manifest—and move—at the same time.

  • Abundance Lives in Tiny Things

    Send us a text

    Big cars, big houses, big goals… sure. They’re cute.
     But what if the real flex is noticing the sunlight hitting your coffee mug or the way fresh flowers change a room?

    In this episode of Manifest This, Jennifer and Sharon crack open a surprisingly profound question:
     Does abundance actually live in the tiny things?

    Jennifer swears the universe starts sending more when you appreciate life’s small magic.
     Sharon… isn’t buying the spiritual PR spin without receipts.

    Together they dig into:
     • Why micro-moments can shift your brain chemistry
     • The difference between contentment and complacency
     • Simple, non-cringey ways to practice “tiny abundance” daily
     • How noticing one beautiful thing can pull you out of a tough place
     • Whether “settling” and “being grateful” are secretly cousins

    Expect a blend of woo, logic, neuroscience, and everyday real-world examples.
     And yes, somehow a $4 box of crackers becomes a whole existential lesson.

    Spoiler: abundance might not be about what you have, but how deeply you experience what’s already here.

    Find three tiny things today. They might be small… but they might change everything.

  • Emotional Guidance Scale Part 2: Love, Money, Health, Wealth

    Send us a text

    In part 2 of this episode of Manifest This: Believer vs. Skeptic, Jennifer and Sharon continue their deep dive into the Emotional Guidance Scale — this time exploring how it plays out in love, money, health, and wealth.

    Jennifer explains how your emotions aren’t just reflections of your mood — they’re signals shaping what you attract. From relationships to finances to wellbeing, where you sit on the scale influences the choices you make, the opportunities you notice, and even how others respond to you. Sharon pushes back on whether emotions really dictate outcomes, but finds common ground in the psychology: stress narrows your vision, hope opens doors, and positivity fuels momentum.

    Whether you see it as vibration or simply mindset, this episode shows how climbing the scale can shift every area of your life.

  • Emotional Guidance Scale - Part 1

    Send us a text

    In part 1 of this episode of Manifest This: Believer vs. Skeptic, Jennifer and Sharon explore Esther Hicks’ Emotional Guidance Scale — a tool that reframes emotions as a roadmap rather than a problem.

    Jennifer explains how emotions act like an internal GPS, guiding us toward alignment when we feel good and signalling resistance when we don’t. Sharon pushes back, questioning whether this is just another chart of feelings, and the two dig into how the scale differs from psychology by offering a step-by-step way to shift your state.

    From despair to anger, from frustration to hope, the conversation highlights that progress doesn’t mean leaping to joy overnight — it’s about reaching for the next better-feeling thought. With real-life examples and practical takeaways, this episode shows how to use emotions as guidance instead of getting stuck fighting them.

  • The Cruise Test - Can the Law of Assumption Deliver Sharon Her Dream Voyage?

    Send us a text

    Ready to see if belief can actually book a ticket? This week on Manifest This: Believer vs. Skeptic, Jennifer throws her favorite skeptic, Sharon, right into the deep end of manifestation with a real-life cruise challenge! Sharon missed out on her dream gig—a transatlantic cruise speaking slot—but instead of moping, she’s putting Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption to the ultimate test: can “living from the end” turn an email rejection into Miami sunsets and Barcelona tapas?

    Jennifer’s Manifestation Prescription™ is equal parts hilarious and daring: Sharon must talk, act, and even sleep like she’s already been chosen—outfits packed, Instagram captions ready, skepticism (mostly) checked at the gangway. Sharon, ever the realist, worries her suitcase may be full of wishful thinking. Jennifer’s philosophy? Don’t sweat the logistics, just nail the vibe. If a cosmic itinerary change lands her the gig, you’ll hear about it here. If not, they’ll unpack why (and probably share a few laughs).

    Whether your biggest wish is a cruise contract, a dream job, or just manifesting an extra dessert at dinner, this episode invites listeners to play along—assume your desire is already yours, then watch what unfolds. Don’t miss this experiment-in-action, complete with eye rolls, optimism, and maybe, just maybe, the sound of ocean waves! Hit play and find out—will Sharon end up on deck, or just a deck of tarot cards? Tune in and manifest with us!
