In this episode of Some Kind of Mystic, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Mike Dooley — creator of Notes from the Universe, teacher of deliberate creation, and one of the clearest voices in the modern Law of Attraction space.

If you have a big vision… and a loud inner critic… this conversation is for you.

Mike shares the real story behind leaving a “successful” corporate path (accounting + Pricewaterhouse) to follow the call of something deeper — including the early days of building TUT, his dark night of the soul, and how “free emails” unexpectedly became a global movement with 1.3M+ subscribers.

We go deep into the real mechanics of manifestation — especially what no one tells you about fear, self-doubt, and how you can still create powerfully even when you’re anxious, uncertain, or in a messy chapter.

You’ll also hear Mike’s breakthrough on why not all thoughts are equally weighted, why truth-aligned thoughts manifest faster, and how you can stop being afraid of your “negative thoughts” without spiritually bypassing your emotions.✨

Topics we cover:

• Mike Dooley’s origin story: from corporate life to metaphysical teacher
• Notes from the Universe and deliberate creationImposter syndrome, confidence, and creating anyway
• Why “high vibration” isn’t the same as “happy emotions”
• Thoughts become things (and what people misunderstand about it)
• Why fear thoughts often don’t manifest (and why that matters)
• Trust, surrender, and allowing the “how” to appear
• The Great Awakening + staying grounded in chaotic times
• What it means to be “some kind of mystic” (spoiler: all of us are)
