  • 136. Manifesting — Who Told You That Was True?

    Send us Fan Mail

    In today’s episode of The Manifesting Formula, we’re talking about the things we’ve believed for years without ever stopping to ask…“Who told me that was true?”

    “Nothing worth having comes easy.”

    “If I’m not busy, I’m being lazy.”

    “If I want it done right, I have to do it myself.”

    My friends, how many of these sound familiar? LOL!

    Sometimes we’re so used to thinking a certain way that we don’t realize we have other options. We feel guilty resting, turn down help when we need it, or keep doing something we no longer enjoy because we think changing our minds means we’ve failed.

    But do we still agree with those beliefs?

    We’ll talk about where they come from, how they affect our everyday choices, and how to begin questioning the ones that aren’t helping us.

    I’m also sharing how stepping away from this podcast gave me the time to discover that I wanted to come back.

    You can work hard without making everything harder. You can accept help. You can rest. And you can decide that something you once wanted doesn’t fit your life anymore.

    So this week, when you hear yourself say, “Well, that’s just how it is,” ask yourself…

    Who told me that was true—and do I still believe it?

  • 135. MANIFESTING - Are You a Vibrational Match to What You Want?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever wondered why something you're wanting to manifest just doesn't seem to be showing up in your life?

    You know what you want. You've thought about it, imagined having it, and maybe even visualized it over and over again. So what's missing?

    In today's episode of The Manifesting Formula, we're talking about what it really means to become a vibrational match to what you're wanting to manifest.

    Whether you're wanting a new car, a loving relationship, or more financial freedom, it's not just about wanting something badly enough. It's about the energy you're bringing to that desire and learning how to experience the feelings of having it before it actually arrives.

    We'll talk about how your thoughts, feelings, gratitude, and everyday experiences can help you begin matching the energy of the life you're wanting to create.

    And of course, I'll share a few personal stories along the way!

    So, my beautiful friends, if you've been wondering why some of your desires haven't shown up yet, this episode is for you.

    Remember, manifesting isn't just about what you want. It's also about how you're feeling while you're waiting for it.

    Sending you all so much love, peace, and abundance! 🩷

  • 134. Manifesting - What Are You Really Attracting Into Your Life?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever noticed how someone else's negative energy can completely change your mood? You can be having a wonderful day, feeling happy and peaceful, and suddenly one conversation leaves you feeling frustrated, irritated, or completely drained.

    But here's a question worth asking: What energy are YOU putting out into the Universe?

    In this episode of The Manifesting Formula, we're talking about energy, vibration, the Law of Attraction, and how our thoughts and feelings influence what we're attracting into our lives.

    I'm also sharing a hilarious (well, it's hilarious NOW!) family vacation story from Episode 26, including a confession I've kept from my listeners for years. Let's just say I learned a very valuable lesson about complaining, personal responsibility, and allowing someone else's energy to affect my own!

    We'll explore why focusing on everything that's wrong can keep us stuck in a vibration we don't want, how to stop getting caught up in other people's negativity, and simple ways to shift our energy toward love, gratitude, peace, and abundance.

    Because manifesting isn't just about asking the Universe for what we want. It's also about becoming aware of the energy we're offering every day.

    And remember, my beautiful friends, we don't have to change other people to change our own experience.

    The power begins with us!

    Sending you all so much love, peace, and abundance! 🩷

  • 133. Manifesting - What If It Doesn't Work Out? But... What If It DOES?!

    Send us Fan Mail

    What If It All Works Out?

    Why is it so easy to imagine everything that could go wrong...before anything has even happened?

    In this episode of The Manifesting Formula, Christine talks about our tendency to focus on possible negative outcomes, why our brains naturally pay attention to potential threats, and how the people and thinking we grew up around can also influence the way we see what's ahead.

    Christine shares the story of a former coaching client who was so worried about everything that could go wrong on an upcoming family road trip that she was already experiencing a terrible vacation in her mind—before she had even left.

    One question helped her begin to change that:

    Do you know that's going to happen?

    And if you don't...

    what if it doesn't?

    This episode isn't about pretending everything will always go perfectly. It's about becoming aware of the stories you're creating about a future that hasn't happened yet—and remembering that the worst possible outcome isn't the only possibility.

    Because worrying and dreaming are both imagining something that hasn't happened yet.

    So why does worrying sometimes feel so much more believable?

    Maybe it's time to start asking a different question:

    What if it all works out?

    My Friends....

    I want to ask for a favor.

    If The Manifesting Formula has helped you...

    if there has been an episode that made you think differently...

    helped you through something...

    made you laugh...

    or maybe you just enjoy spending this time with me every week...

    would you take a minute and leave the podcast a review?

    Your reviews really do mean so much to me.

    And they also help other people find the podcast.

    So if you haven't left one yet...

    I would absolutely love it if you would.

    I am thanking you in advance....

    Thank you for listening to The Manifesting Formula, have a beautiful day

    wherever you are in the world, and if no one has told you today.....

    I love you!

  • 132. Manifesting - You Say You Want It… But What Are You Doing to Create It?

    Send us Fan Mail

    We all have things we want.

    More happiness. More love. More money. A better relationship. A successful business. More peace. A life that feels really fucking good to wake up to.

    But here’s the question…

    What are you actually doing to create it?

    In this episode of The Manifesting Formula, we’re talking about the difference between wanting an outcome and actually doing the work to create it.

    Because manifesting isn’t sitting around thinking positive thoughts and waiting for the Universe to drop your dream life on your front porch. Wouldn’t that be nice? 😂

    Creating the life you want involves the internal work—your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, energy, and focus—but it also requires action.

    You can visualize what you want. You can think about it. You can feel excited about it. But at some point, you have to look at what you’re actually doing every day to help create that outcome.

    I’m also giving you a simple ten-minute visualization practice to help you connect with what you want and begin seeing and feeling that life before the physical evidence is sitting in front of you.

    My beautiful friends, wanting the outcome is only the beginning.

    The question is…

    What are you doing to create it?

    Listen now and let’s do the work. ❤️

    In this episode:

    • The difference between wanting something and actually creating it

    • Why wanting the outcome is only the beginning

    • How your everyday actions are either moving you toward what you want—or keeping you where you are

    • Why the internal work AND the physical action both matter

    • What it really means to do the work

    • How to look honestly at what you’re doing every day

    • A simple 10-minute visualization practice to connect with the outcome you want

    • Why you don’t have to wait for the perfect time to begin

    • Choosing one outcome you want—and asking yourself: What am I doing to create it?

  • 131. Manifesting - You Teach People How to Treat You

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why do they keep treating me this way?”

    Maybe you’ve told them how you feel. Maybe you’ve asked them to stop. Maybe you’ve had the same conversation more times than you can count...and yet, nothing changes.

    In this episode of The Manifesting Formula, we’re turning that question around.

    Because while you are not responsible for another person’s behavior, you ARE responsible for what you continue to participate in.

    We’re talking about boundaries, self-love, patterns in relationships, and the difference between trying to control someone else’s behavior and deciding what YOU will do when a boundary is crossed.

    We’ll also talk about why setting a boundary can feel uncomfortable, why someone being unhappy with your boundary doesn’t automatically mean it’s wrong, and why loving or understanding someone doesn’t mean you have to continue accepting behavior that hurts you.

    And of course, we’re connecting all of this back to manifesting—because you create your life through more than what you say you want. You create it through what you choose, what you continue, what you give your energy to, and what you’re willing to change.

    Sometimes the most powerful question isn’t...

    “Why do they keep doing this?”

    It’s...

    “What do I need to do differently to stop creating the same outcome?”

    Because their behavior is theirs.

    Their choices are theirs.

    But your life...is yours. ❤️

  • 130 - Manifesting - Who Is the Voice in My Head—and Why Won’t It Shut Up?

    Send us Fan Mail

    You know that voice in your head that worries, overthinks, compares, assumes, judges, replays things that already happened and occasionally tries to convince you that something is wrong when absolutely nothing has happened?

    Yeah. Her. 😂

    I call her my Inner Mean Girl—and she has a LOT to say.

    In this episode of The Manifesting Formula, we're talking about the voice in your head, where some of those thoughts and beliefs come from, and why just because a thought came from your own mind doesn't mean it's true.

    I'll share how my relationship with my own Inner Mean Girl has changed over the years, why she doesn't get out much anymore 😂, and how meditation helped me learn one of the most important things I know today:

    I can notice a thought without having to follow it.

    We'll also talk about the difference between feeling something and feeding it, the Buddhist teaching of the two arrows, and how we can unintentionally keep hurt, anger, fear or disappointment alive long after the original moment has passed.

    And because this is The Manifesting Formula, we'll connect all of this back to your thoughts, your feelings, your energy—and what you're creating in your life.

    You don't need to monitor every thought that enters your mind.

    You don't need to fight with your Inner Mean Girl.

    And you definitely don't need to believe everything she tells you.

    Because if it isn't coming from love...

    it's a fucking lie. ❤️

    In this episode, you'll hear about the Inner Mean Girl and the Inner Goddess, subconscious beliefs and the things we learned to believe about ourselves, how thoughts affect feelings and energy, meditation and awareness, feeling versus feeding an emotion, the Buddhist teaching of the two arrows, and why the voice in your head really can become a whole lot quieter.

    Thank you for listening to The Manifesting Formula. If this episode made you think of someone whose Inner Mean Girl could use a little less microphone time 😂, send it their way. And if you've been enjoying the podcast, I would love it if you'd take a minute to leave a rating or review. It helps more people discover our little corner of the podcast world. ❤️

  • 129 - Manifesting - How Do You Make Peace With A Choice You Can't Change?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever made a choice you knew you couldn’t take back...but found yourself thinking about it months—or even years—later?

    Maybe the choice isn’t actually what you’re still struggling with.

    Maybe it’s the relationship you wanted to be different.

     The person you wanted someone to be.

     The apology or understanding you never received.

     Or the version of the story you keep replaying in your mind.

    In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to accept something you cannot change—and why acceptance doesn’t always mean closeness, reconciliation, or pretending something didn’t hurt.

    I’m also sharing more about my relationship with my mom, how that relationship shaped the mother I chose to become, and one of the biggest lessons I’ve learned:

    You cannot change the choice you made then. But you absolutely have a choice about what you do with it now.

    We’ll talk about acceptance, forgiveness, relationships, the stories we continue to tell ourselves, and how the energy we give our past can affect the life we’re creating today.

    Because making peace with a choice doesn’t mean changing what happened.

    It means deciding how much of your life you’re willing to keep giving to it.

  • 128. Manifesting - When "That Person" Is No Longer "Your Person"

    Send us Fan Mail

    Have you ever looked at a friendship or relationship and realized...

    this person just isn't my person anymore?

    Maybe there wasn't a huge fight.

    Maybe no one did anything terrible.

    Maybe the relationship simply changed...and somewhere along the way, you changed too.

    In this episode, I'm sharing a very personal experience that made me look differently at one of my own friendships—and helped me realize something important:

    That moment didn't change the relationship. It showed me what the relationship had already become.

    We're talking about the relationships we hold onto because of history, the expectations we place on people, and what happens when we stop trying to make a relationship be something it simply isn't anymore.

    We'll also talk about acceptance, impermanence, the word “should,” and a question that might make you look at some of the relationships in your own life differently:

    If I met this person today...would I still choose this friendship?

    Not every relationship is meant to stay the same forever.

    People change.

    We grow.

    Life changes.

    And sometimes making peace with a relationship isn't about fixing it, ending it, or deciding who's right and who's wrong.

    Sometimes...

    it just is what it is.

  • 127. Manifesting - When You Think You've Lost Your Purpose: Sometimes Life Has Other Plans

    Send us Fan Mail

    What happens when something you thought was part of your purpose...suddenly isn't part of your life anymore?

    Sometimes we become so attached to what we thought our life was supposed to look like that when it changes, we wonder...

    Who am I now?

    In this episode, I'm sharing one of the most personal stories I've ever told on The Manifesting Formula—a story about Bruno and Roxy, two beautiful souls I loved deeply, the grief that came with losing them, and what happened when I thought a part of my purpose had disappeared with them.

    But sometimes life has other plans.

    And sometimes what feels like an ending...

    is making space for something we never could have imagined.

    We're talking about grief, love, purpose, change, and what it means to stay open when life doesn't look anything like you thought it would.

    Because maybe your purpose isn't always one thing.

    Maybe it can change as you change.

    Maybe one chapter can end without your purpose ending with it.

    And maybe...

    when you think you've lost your purpose...

    life is quietly leading you somewhere new.
