Manifestation isn’t a lottery ticket; it’s a practice of alignment. Today we pull back the curtain on the “messy middle” and name three quiet mistakes that stall progress: chasing from desperation, obsessing over the how, and playing small when your life is asking you to stand tall. I walk through the emotional tells—tight timelines, constant sign-checking, shrinking goals—and show how to shift into a calmer, more magnetic state that makes results more likely and the journey more human.

We start with energy: why gripping the outcome pushes it away and how embodying the version of you who already has it changes the room you walk into. Then we take on control. Planning is useful, but micromanaging the route can block better paths. I share a personal story about wanting family closer, offering possibilities without pressure, and watching alignment click into place once I stepped back. When you claim the what and the why and let the how unfold, new resources, people, and timing appear that no checklist could have engineered.

Finally, we talk worthiness—the switch that powers everything. Reasonable goals won’t build an extraordinary life. Choosing to belong before you’re “proven” shifts your posture, your asks, and your outcomes. You’ll hear how confidence, presence, and aligned action can turn a room of strangers into momentum and how saying “I’m ready” beats “I need this now” every time. If you’re ready to trade force for flow and doubt for worth, hit play and lean into these simple, practical shifts. Subscribe, share this with a friend who’s manifesting big change, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can go deeper next time.

Stop bracing for impact and start setting the temperature. We dive into the real shortcut to manifestation—gratitude as a lived frequency, not a list of polite sentences—and show how one small shift can flip your day, your decisions, and your results. A tense client showdown becomes a masterclass in energy leadership: music up, mood reset, boundaries clear, and outcomes transformed. No fluff, no bypassing—just practical tools that move you from resistance to reception when the stakes are high.

We unpack how gratitude changes your chemistry first, then your thoughts, then your choices, creating a domino effect that people feel and mirror back. You’ll learn why micro-moments matter more than massive rituals, how to use a song or simple sensory cue to re-center fast, and how to hold your standards without collateral damage to your reputation. Think of this as emotional regulation you can actually use in the car before a meeting, on the sidewalk between calls, or in the kitchen after a hard conversation. That’s how you align your energy with the outcomes you want—calm action, clean boundaries, better clients, healthier relationships, more abundance, and a steadier sense of self.

We also speak to real estate listeners who see home-buying as a life chapter, not just a transaction, and we share a weekly practice anyone can run: pause, play the song that lifts you, smile even if it feels forced, and name one thing you’re grateful for right now. For those ready to go deeper, our new program, Manifesting Through Daily Gratitude, is live and designed to help you build this into a sustainable habit that compounds.

If this resonates, subscribe for more practical mindset tools, share it with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review so we can reach more people ready to thrive. Your energy sets the tone—let’s make it remarkable.

Stephanie Urbina-Jones takes us on a soul-stirring journey from paralyzing self-doubt to standing proudly as a Latina pioneer in country music. At the heart of her transformation lies a deathbed prophecy from her grandmother, who called her to be a "mensajera" – a messenger who would bridge cultures through music.

Despite feeling broken and unworthy, Stephanie's path shifted dramatically after encountering a Mexican curandera whose healing ceremonies and breathwork unlocked something profound within her. Through a supernatural experience where her great-grandfather urged her to pursue music, she found the courage to mortgage her house and record her first album. This leap of faith eventually led to a record deal and the promise of becoming "the Latina of country music" – until personal heartbreak derailed everything.

The conversation delves deep into how childhood wounds create limiting agreements that filter our entire adult experience. Stephanie vulnerably shares how feeling unwanted and unlovable as a child created patterns that affected her relationships, particularly with her daughter. Her breakthrough moment came when she finally recognized how she had trained everyone around her to treat her with the same disrespect she showed herself – a powerful reminder that how we treat ourselves teaches others how to treat us.

Today, Stephanie and her husband Jeremy lead Freedom Folk and Soul, creating transformational journeys and initiation ceremonies that help people release old agreements and step into their authentic power. Their work draws from Toltec wisdom, indigenous practices, and the understanding that true healing happens in the body, not just the mind. As Stephanie powerfully states, "Pain becomes our power. That's what we create life with."

The episode culminates with Stephanie sharing an ancient prophecy about humanity's great awakening – the "Pachacuti" – and inviting listeners to hold both compassion for current struggles and hope for collective transformation. Her story reminds us that our deepest wounds often become our greatest gifts when we have the courage to face them.

Have you ever noticed how a simple moment—like catching a beautiful sunrise while rushing out the door—can completely shift your energy? That's the transformative power of gratitude, and it's the foundation of manifesting the life you truly desire.

Gratitude isn't just a nice practice for when things are going well. It's actually most powerful during those messy, challenging seasons when everything feels heavy and uncertain. When you're juggling multiple responsibilities, feeling pulled in every direction, and wondering if you're even moving toward your goals, gratitude becomes your anchor. It doesn't erase the challenges, but it reframes them, shifting your energy so you can see solutions rather than just problems.

The most exciting revelation about gratitude is that it creates genuine momentum toward your dreams. I've witnessed this countless times in my Dreams to Reality group, where women who felt completely stuck experienced remarkable breakthroughs after simply acknowledging what was working in their lives. Their energy shifted, which changed their actions, which transformed their outcomes. But here's the crucial formula that many miss: Gratitude + Action = Unstoppable Momentum. Gratitude without action is just journaling pretty words. Action without gratitude is hustling without joy or alignment. When you combine them—allowing gratitude to open doors and taking aligned action to walk through them—you become truly unstoppable.

Ready to transform your perspective and accelerate your manifestation journey? My new gratitude course is launching soon, designed to take gratitude beyond a list on paper and turn it into a lifestyle that becomes your natural way of being. In the meantime, try this simple practice: each day, write down what you're grateful for, then ask yourself, "What's one small action I can take today from this place of appreciation?" This simple shift will change everything.

When Liz Hansen stepped in front of the camera for her own boudoir photoshoot nearly a decade ago, she had no idea how profoundly it would change her life. That transformative experience—breaking free from what she calls "good girl syndrome"—inspired her to create Chicago Boudoir Photography, a studio where women could discover their own power through the lens of a camera.

Liz takes us behind the scenes of her photography sessions, revealing how she guides women through a carefully crafted experience. From professional hair and makeup that helps clients see themselves in a new light to the powerful moment when they view their unedited photos, each step is designed to celebrate women exactly as they are. These sessions become more than just photoshoots—they're opportunities for women to tear away limiting beliefs they've accumulated throughout their lives.

Running a boudoir business comes with unique challenges in a society that still considers female bodies taboo. Liz shares how she's navigated everything from social media bans to credit card processing restrictions while building a thriving, 100% female-staffed studio. During COVID-19 shutdowns, she pivoted to create an online community that now connects 10,000 local women through daily conversations about confidence and empowerment.

For aspiring entrepreneurs, Liz offers hard-won wisdom from her journey—including the 19 months she worked without paying herself a single dollar. Her advice centers on finding purpose beyond profit and recognizing that your unique perspective is what will ultimately attract clients to your work. Most powerfully, she reminds us that our worth isn't tied to our accomplishments, appearance, or relationship status: "You are inherently worthy and valuable, just as you are right now."

Whether you're considering starting a business, struggling with body confidence, or simply curious about breaking through your own limiting beliefs, this conversation offers practical insights and profound perspective shifts that will help you see yourself—and your possibilities—in an entirely new light.

Ready to fast-track your manifestation journey? The secret might be simpler than you think. Gratitude isn't just a nice-to-have practice—it's the energetic accelerator that transforms dreams into reality.

Throughout my years as a manifestation coach, I've discovered that gratitude works like a frequency dial. When we're stuck in negativity, we're essentially broadcasting on a static-filled station. But when we consciously shift to gratitude, even for the smallest things, we tune into clarity and flow. This shift isn't just spiritual talk—science backs it up. Gratitude triggers dopamine release, physically changing how we feel and how we perceive opportunities around us.

I share two powerful stories from my own life where gratitude created tangible results. First, how a dedicated morning gratitude practice pulled my real estate business out of a slump and attracted ideal clients when everything seemed to be falling apart. Then, a more personal journey of how shifting from worry to gratitude transformed my relationship with my son during his period of uncertainty, creating space for him to find his path without the weight of my anxiety.

What makes gratitude such a potent manifestation tool is its accessibility. You don't need special training or hours of meditation—just the willingness to pause and appreciate. When you catch yourself spiraling into negativity (as we all do), gratitude becomes your reset button. One simple acknowledgment can shift your energy from lack to abundance in seconds.

The universe doesn't respond to what you say you want—it responds to the energy you emit. When you practice specific, heartfelt gratitude for what you already have, you signal that you're "trustworthy with blessings," opening the door for more to flow your way. Try starting and ending each day with three specific things you're grateful for, and watch how your manifestation results accelerate.

What's the real barrier standing between you and your dreams? The answer might surprise you. It's not your circumstances, your background, or even your competition—it's likely yourself.

We're conditioned from childhood to view life as a competition, constantly measuring our progress against others. I vividly remember sitting in my real estate office, staring at transaction numbers and thinking, "There's no way I could ever do that." But the breakthrough came when I realized I wasn't losing to my colleagues; I was losing to a version of myself that chose comparison over action. The moment I stopped measuring myself against others' highlight reels and focused instead on setting my own achievable goals, everything changed.

This episode tackles the self-imposed limitations that keep us stuck: procrastination disguised as productivity, the fear of imperfection that prevents us from starting, and the crippling comparison that has us convinced we're somehow "behind" in life. Rather than competing with others, what if we simply tried to outpace yesterday's version of ourselves? What if we celebrated small progress instead of being paralyzed by perceived gaps? I share personal stories of overcoming these mental roadblocks—from finally launching this podcast despite my insecurities to completing a race I never thought possible by competing only with myself.

Ready to stop being your own roadblock? I challenge you to identify what's holding you back, call it out loud to diminish its power, and take one brave step toward your dreams. Remember, you don't need anyone's permission to move forward. You just need to get out of your own way. Share this episode with someone who needs to hear that they're not behind—they're just one decision away from moving forward.

Struggling to manifest your dreams despite all the vision boards, books, and affirmations? You might be missing the crucial element that transforms wishful thinking into reality. In this empowering episode, I reveal why many well-intentioned manifestors get stuck in a cycle of tiny results despite big desires.

The hard truth? You can't manifest a life you love while actively disliking your current circumstances. Manifestation isn't a passive Pinterest board or hoping the universe texts you back – it's a daily discipline requiring consistent practice, especially on those challenging days when you'd rather not bother. The universe responds not to what you say you want, but to the energy you consistently emit.

What are you actually manifesting with your daily thoughts? Most of us are always creating something, but often it's stress, scarcity, and comparison rather than joy, confidence, and alignment. The transformation begins with bone-deep gratitude – not superficial appreciation, but genuine thankfulness that creates the vibrational frequency for receiving more. I share a personal story about my own manifestation journey and how my son's shift from frustration to gratitude led him to find the relationship he'd been seeking for years.

The gateway to manifesting your desires isn't asking for more – it's loving what you already have. When you appreciate your current blessings, you create space for miracles to unfold. I offer practical homework to help you start shifting your energy today: identify something overlooked that deserves celebration, examine your daily mental and emotional practices, and begin showing up as the version of yourself who already has what you desire.

Ready to stop just reading about manifestation and start living it? This episode provides the missing link to turn your dreams into reality. Share it with a friend who's also on this journey and remember: I believe in you, and you can manifest the life of your dreams.

Have you ever felt like everyone else is thriving while you're just trying to remember what day it is? That nagging sensation that you're somehow "behind" in life can be crushing to your spirit and block your manifestation power.

This intimate, no-guest episode tackles one of the most damaging mindset traps we fall into: comparing our journey to others and feeling inadequate as a result. I dive deep into why this comparison is based on a completely fabricated timeline that nobody actually agreed to. Who decided that by 30, you're supposed to have a six-figure business, perfect relationship, glowing skin, and inner peace? That timeline doesn't exist, yet so many of us judge ourselves harshly against it.

What looks like "taking too long" in your journey might actually be your foundation being built deeper and stronger. Those unexpected detours? They're equipping you with the grit, wisdom, and soul you need for what's ahead. The truth is, you're right on time for your unique process.

I also share personal stories about showing up before feeling ready—both my own experiences with writing my book despite feeling like an imposter, and watching my son navigate his fears in our real estate business. The key insight? Momentum creates confidence, not the other way around. You'll never feel 100% ready for your biggest dreams, and that's exactly why you need to start now.

Perhaps most liberating is the permission to change direction. Contrary to popular belief, pivoting isn't flaky—it's alignment with who you're becoming. You're allowed to outgrow dreams that once excited you and pursue what lights up your soul today, even if that looks different than it did six months ago.

Take a moment to ask yourself: What have I been waiting to do because I don't feel ready? Where am I comparing myself and forgetting my own magic? Is there something I've outgrown but haven't given myself permission to release? Then take one brave, imperfect step forward—because you're not behind, you're becoming, and that is everything.

The whispered conversations in women's locker rooms and quiet confessions between friends reveal a universal truth: pelvic health affects virtually every woman, yet remains shrouded in uncomfortable silence. This powerful episode pulls back the curtain on the taboo topics of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction with renowned urogynecologist Dr. Maria Cantor.

"Over 50% of women experience urinary incontinence," Dr. Cantor reveals, debunking the myth that these issues only affect a small minority. From the woman who avoids laughing too hard at parties to the new mother afraid to return to exercise, these conditions profoundly impact quality of life—yet many suffer needlessly, unaware of the range of treatments available beyond surgery.

The conversation ventures into territory rarely explored in public forums: the surprising parallels between postpartum and menopausal bodies, the complex interplay of hormones affecting sexual health, and the revolutionary non-surgical interventions transforming women's care. Dr. Cantor explains how pelvic floor physical therapy, vaginal pessaries, and targeted hormonal treatments offer relief without requiring major procedures.

Perhaps most eye-opening is the discussion of sexual health across life's transitions. "When you think about it, if your thyroid isn't working anymore, your doctor gives you thyroid medication... but if your ovaries stop creating estrogen, what are we to do?" This frank examination of how hormonal shifts affect everything from libido to lubrication offers validation and solutions for women at every life stage.

Whether you're a new mother experiencing unexpected changes, an active woman dealing with exercise-related leakage, or someone navigating the complexities of menopause, this episode provides the information, reassurance, and treatment pathways too often missing from women's healthcare conversations. Listen, share, and help break the silence that keeps too many women from thriving physically at every stage of life.
