The Nerd Expansion

Welcome back to The Nerd Expansion! Today's guest is the one and only Vanessa Maier and her nerd love is manifesting. It's awesome.

She is seriously passionate about manifesting and teaching people to manifest. She's manifested everything from her husband to her house and feels like one of her purposes in life (besides being a singer & entertainer) is to teach as many people as possible about the law of attraction and help them change their lives through this amazing and consistent natural law.
