My crazy manifestation story I’ve never shared 👀

I was told by several Chiros and doctors that my chronic back pain would never get better. And for 6 years I believed them.

But earlier this year (in January) I decided enough is enough.

So I took my impossible goal to God and my pen and paper and I declared what I wanted, why I wanted it, and why I was deserving of it.

And then I followed the inspiration that came.

And that was to a random bowspring yoga class at an LA fitness I was already a member of.

And 5 months later…I am 98% of the time pain FREE.

The is a reminder that if you have an impossible dream…you have the dream for a reason and it’s because it IS possible.

The steps:

1. Get clear on what you want
2. Be willing to do things differently
3. Take action when inspiration hits (it should feel good!)

If this resonated comment “best you ever” for my journaling and mindset course ✨✍️💗

This is Bowspring Yoga:
and my sweet sweet instructor:

Not sure what your purpose is or you know it’s time to pivot?

Answer this ONE question 👆🏻

The first thing that comes to you? THAT’S IT. Your true soul calling, your truth, your deep desire, your mission here on earth.

And if it’s a few things? No worries! Which one brings you the most excitement right now? Which one are you able to act on right now? That’s it!

And picking one doesn’t mean you can’t do it all eventually.

Because purpose is never one thing or ever complete.

It will evolve as you learn and grow….and you will know it’s time to pivot because what once felt GOOD may begin to feel tired, restrictive, boring, ya know blahhhh.

And when this happens you have to ask yourself:

1. Are you doing something you’ve just gotten good at? Or does it still bring you all the joy?

This question has changed my life in so many ways.

And it’s because your emotions tell you everything you need to know about what direction you’re going.

So if your emotions / thoughts are negative, that’s your invitation to change or reconnect to your why.

If it feels good, you’re in alignment with your inner knowing!

Your best self feels free, happy, and delighted in everything she/he does.

And I am still learning that it’s ok to listen to my emotions and that it’s normal and safe to evolve 💫

Your purpose = JOY (that also serves the world)

And what brings you joy may change…and that’s ok 👌 if it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be this way ✨💗

Not your average how-to 🤷🏻‍♀️

But here’s how I went from getting 1ms+ of views and gaining 10s of thousands of followers to losing 10s of thousands followers and averaging 1000s of views per video:

I decided it was ok and safe to be a beginner again.

I decided it was safe to step back from content that no longer brought me joy and to step toward what I felt more called to do and share now:

Which is to help you feel good, remember your worth, and live confidently ✨

And even though it’s been scary and I’ve had to have lots of chats with my ego…

It was more scary for me to stay where I was and doing what I was doing…even though I wasn’t happy.

The biggest lesson?

I was already living the worst case scenario: Not being happy.

So what did I actually have to lose? My ego?

Welp. Ok then.

Once I decided that I would rather be a host of god than a hostage to my ego…it became less scary.

And here’s the thing…

God gave you the desires of your heart for a reason. It wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t possible for you.

It may not make sense right now, it may take time to see external success, but if you’re having fun…you’re already successful!!

And when I’m 80 years old I won’t look back and be like ‘gosh I wish I would have just tried.’

Instead I’ll look back and be like ‘dang girl, I’m so proud of how brave you were for just going for it.’

At the end of the day- your worst fears and your biggest insecurities are the strengths you’re meant to polish in this life.

And as much as being a beginner is cringe and the growing paints hurt…not living my purpose hurts much more.

So there’s your how-to!

And if you’re gonna step toward beginnership just know you’re not alone ✨

Ps to all my people that’s been here through my pivots….THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU!!

My daily woo practice that I’ve never shared before 👀

I call it woo because it’s literally been like magic in my life✨

I was taught to journal as a kid and then I became more intentional over the years with what I was writing.

And everything I’ve wanted and then accomplished in life?

…I wrote it down first.

This practice has worked so well for me that I hope it can help with your dreams too 💗

Ask and it is given.
Believe and you will see.
Write it and you will have it.

If you liked this comment ‘Best You Ever’ for my mindset & journaling course ✨✍️

It explains everything 🤷🏻‍♀️

What to do when the unexpected happens…

In the past, I would think: Was this a mistake? And then: What did I do to deserve this!?

Or I’d apologize for being a possible inconvenience…

And now…I just say, “thank you”.

And I trust that good things are not a mistake and it’s safe to receive others kindness and support.

There is no catch. There is nothing to question.

It’s just the truth of what you truly deserve 🤍.

Appreciation, gratitude, allowing, and feeling super blessed…is your only job in these moments 🤍.

Happy Sunday ✨

I have this recurring lesson in life that always pops up.

And it’s ALWAYS around scarcity.

A lot of times around money. Sometimes around love. But this week? Around time.

I had forgotten this little trick until today and just like that *snaps* I turned a lack of time into an abundance of time.

What I’ve learned with this lil sentence trick works wherever you feel lack in your life (even with money and love!).

Try it on and let me know if it helps ✨💗

This is how I handle rude comments or inconsiderate people in real life while preserving my peace 💗.

Ps It doesn’t excuse bad behavior — it just doesn’t have to affect you anymore.

If you react - they get the dopamine hit they wanted.

Sooo take em by surprise and shower some care bear love (or a silent prayer) and be on your way ✨

Oh no, I got to keep on moving 🎶

How do you overcome a discipline problem when discipline has become the problem?

I hope this helps anyone who needed to hear this story✨.
