You cannot manifest what you want when you feel like sh*t.

Well, technically you can, but you'll probably keep manifesting more of what you don't want.

In this episode, I'm joined by my husband Hamish to have an honest conversation about manifestation, alignment, energy, and what it really takes to create the life, business, relationships, and opportunities you want.

When you're operating from stress, scarcity, frustration, overwhelm, or fear, it's easy to fall into the trap of forcing outcomes instead of becoming the person capable of receiving them.

In this episode, we discuss:

• why you can't create abundance from a place of lack
• what to do when life feels heavy and nothing seems to be working
• how to become the version of you who already has what you want
• the balance between surrender, trust and taking action

This conversation will challenge the way you think about manifestation and remind you that sometimes the biggest shifts happen when you stop forcing and start trusting.
