Hey there conscious creator! Hope you are doing well. Ever feel like the whole concept of manifestation is just a bit too woo-woo? You're not alone. I recently received a comment from a reader on one of my posts that made me LOL: “Damn, all those 80-hour work weeks when all I had to do is ask the universe in the correct way. At least I know now.” Hilarious, right? I get it. The idea of manifesting your dreams can seem as outlandish as casting spells in a fantasy novel. It's no wonder there are so many non-believers out there. But here's the thing—there's more to manifestation than the oversimplified, magical thinking often portrayed on social media. With countless “spiritual content creators” popping up these days, it's easy to get lost in a sea of misinformation. And trust me, there are some major myths out there that need debunking. In my latest essay, I break down the top five misconceptions about manifestation, including:
These myths aren't just a bit ridiculous—they could be holding you back. By moving beyond these superficial ideas, you can embrace a more nuanced, empowered, and holistic approach to manifestation. This means tapping into your true power and transforming your reality in ways that might surprise even the biggest doubter.

Get yourself right first by looking inside to understand why you will give your time and effort to this goal.
Give yourself stillness before you default to hustle. Give yourself silence before the noisiness ensues.
Presence before will and tenacity.
// New Talk: Embracing Beginner's Mind 🕊️ A Mindset Shift For Work And Life: Go From Ego To Awe And Wonder What if you could transform your work and personal life by shedding the weight of having to be seen as an expert? This talk calls you to embrace a 'beginner's mind'—a state of open curiosity that allows for infinite possibilities to emerge in your experience. By releasing our ego's need to know everything, we rediscover a childlike sense of wonder that sparks joy in the obvious, mundane, and what we take for granted. The need to be an expert, and to have all the answers, can actually limit us. Instead, when we approach our life with a beginner's mind, it reawakens us to the amazement of being fully present and drinking in each new experience without any preconceived notions or judgments. How much more would your life be filled with joy and wonder if you approached every situation as an awe-inspiring journey of growth and awareness, instead of feeling pressured to prove your worth?

Please share it! // Parting words 🥀 A reminder from Spanish poet, Juan Ramon Jimenez, that truly seeing something is seeing no thing, yet you can experience it. I unpetalled you, like a rose, to see your soul, and I didn’t see it. But everything around—horizons of land and of seas—everything, out to the infinite, was filled with a fragrance, enormous and alive. With gratitude. ✌🏼 If you have any questions, feedback, or want to share some of your own insights, feel free to hit reply and let me know. I read and reply to every email.

“I think I’m scared to invest the money.” That’s how she opened. Not with strategy. Not with excitement about the new business she had just started or the plan she’d mapped out. Just that. “I think I’m scared to invest the money.” We were maybe ten minutes into the call. She had the idea, the passion, and the expertise. She even had the outline for what she’d share online before selling anything. But when she said the number out loud, her voice changed. I didn’t start by talking about...
Hey there, friend! Over the past few weeks, as I’ve been connecting with people one-on-one and in live sessions, one thing keeps becoming clear: The turning point for most people isn’t becoming more confident. It’s becoming safer—inside themselves. That’s why this week, we're exploring something that so many of us experience: The gap between knowing who we're meant to be and actually living as that person. Why follow-through feels impossible. Why manifestation can feel exhausting. And why the...
They were in the middle of an identity shift that didn’t arrive the way identity shifts are usually sold. Not as a reinvention or sudden clarity. More like: Life has been giving me feedback, my body has been giving me feedback, my patterns have been giving me feedback—and I can’t unsee it now. They said it felt restrictive. They said it was painful. And then they said the sentence that told me exactly where they were standing: “I could go back to what’s been familiar and override the signals....
