About this listen

An uplifting weekly podcast where we stop overthinking and start creating the life we actually want with the Universe by our side!

Hi! I’m Kristen Greenwood, your manifestation mentor, self-trust hype girl, and spiritual bestie with a side of tough love. Welcome to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast. I’m so glad you’re here.

This podcast was born from my own “what am I doing with my life?”
moments — working a job I hated, doubting every step I took, and feeling like everyone else had the manual to life except me. I always knew I was meant for more… I just had no idea how to start.

Now I’m figuring it out one step at a time and I’m bringing you with me.

Each week, you’ll get:

· Real talk about the Law of Attraction (minus the fluff)

· The rituals and mindset shifts that actually help

· Stories from my own journey - the wins, the wobbles, and the weird signs from the Universe

· Book recs, pep talks, and little nudges when you need them most

This podcast is your reminder that you can do big things - even if your life feels like chaos right now, even if you don’t have it all figured out, and even if you're still eating cereal for dinner some nights (bc same).

So grab your headphones and let’s manifest some magic, one Monday at a time.

And don’t forget... The Universe Is Your Best Freaking Friend <3

  • 72. Manifesting From Wounds vs. Worth: Let’s Talk!
    Jun 29 2025

    HELLO Diva, welcome to this week's episode of The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!

    This week’s episode was heavily inspired by a spicy little nugget from this month’s Book Club read, Super Attractor by Gabby Bernstein (if you’re not in the self-development book club yet… get on that babe).

    Gabby’s “Spiritually Aligned Action” method got me thinking in my little brain — specifically Step 1: Is your desire backed by positive inspiration or service?
    Cue the soul-searching spiral.

    So today’s chat is all about what’s really driving your manifestation. Is it rooted in worth and alignment? Or is it lowkey coming from lack, fear, or a childhood wound?

    Hot tip fresh off the press: the why behind your desire is everything. It shapes your energy, your belief, your alignment - all of it. Two people can want the exact same thing, but depending on their energy, one will manifest it with ease and the other will stay stuck wondering why The Universe is being such a C**t.

    What we’re unpacking in this episode:

    • Why manifesting from desperation, ego, or unhealed wounds actually slows you down
    • What “positive inspiration” really means (and no, it doesn’t mean your desire has to be world-changing or holier-than-thou to be valid)
    • How your reason for manifesting either reinforces belief or sabotages it
    • What to do when you realize your desire isn’t coming from the right place (without spiraling into “omg have I wasted my time” mode)

    I’m also walking you through the 3 steps to realign your desire so it actually feels empowering again:

    1. Heal the root wound.
    Like… actually go there. Journal it. Inner child it. Therapy it. Whatever you need to do to stop asking your manifestation to fix something it was never designed to fix.

    2. Identify the deeper feeling you actually want.
    Most of us aren’t just manifesting a “thing” - we’re manifesting the feeling that thing brings. Security. Belonging. Peace. Love. Etc. So skip the middleman and start manifesting the feeling itself now (this doesn't mean you can't eventually refocus in the physical desire btw, if anything, this will attract it by default).

    3. Rewire the desire with a new WHY.
    Once you’ve done the inner work, come back to your original manifestation — but this time, choose a reason that’s rooted in inspiration, purpose, and your highest good. Trust me, it'll make everything 10x easier and juicier.

    Because Queen - you deserve to manifest things that make you feel proud. That feel expansive. That aren’t carrying the weight of childhood trauma or society’s expectations. This isn’t about giving up your dreams — it’s about upgrading them.

  • 71. My Real Money Manifestation Journey (It's Not Giving Billionaire Yet, But We're Getting There)
    Jun 22 2025

    Send us a text

    Hi guyssss, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!!!

    Let’s be so real right now: this episode isn’t me popping in to say “I manifested millions overnight and now I eat gold flakes for breakfast.”
    Nope. This one’s the real money manifestation journey. The bumpy one. The honest one. The one where we admit:

    “I haven’t nailed it yet, but damn, I’ve come a long way.”

    In this episode, I’m talking candidly about my evolving relationship with money — not the highlight reel, but the full spectrum. I had a whole other topic planned, but while I was literally driving to a hospital appointment (yes, the glamour), I had a full download and knew I had to hit record.


    And listen, I even had a moment where I was like “Is it cringe to talk about money when I'm not yet sitting on a beach in Dubai, sipping margaritas?” But then I remembered, I love when the people I follow share the journey... AS THE JOURNEY IS UNFOLDING. Hindsight is 20/20 but it can get really lonely and really boring really fast when all you hear is the success story. So that’s what I’m bringing you today.

    This is for anyone who:

    • Feels behind in their abundance journey
    • Has secretly wondered if they’re “doing manifestation wrong”
    • Gets overwhelmed by the curated content of spiritual girlies who apparently manifested financial freedom by lunch

    So, today I'm sharing the three things I'm currently doing to stay aligned and magnetic for financial abundance!

    1. Reprogramming those pesky limiting beliefs: EFT tapping, changing my language and looking for evidence all around me to reinforce my new beliefs

    2. Feeling financially abundant now: Not someday, not after payday, not when I hit six figures — now. I’m tuning into the energy of overflow and grounding into the feeling that I already have enough. This combo? It leaves no room for scarcity.

    3. Taking aligned, good-feeling action: I’m making the moves I believe will bring money in — and making them feel fun (no more suffering-for-success energy here)

  • 70. The Most Powerful Manifestation Tool (That You're Probably Forgetting)
    Jun 15 2025

    Send us a text

    Hi there Divas, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast for episode seventy (can you BELIEVE I've made 70 whole episodes!!! It's crazy, anyway).

    Let’s get into something that might ruffle a few feathers but also has the power to completely shift your manifestation game:
    Happiness is a choice. Sadness is a choice.
    Okay, okay — don’t come for me yet.

    In this episode, I’m not saying you can just “positive vibes only” your way through grief, depression, or deep emotional healing. What I am saying is that for the everyday funk, the lingering stress, the “ugh, my life isn’t where I want it to be” energy — you’re probably choosing that, even if unconsciously.

    And more importantly? You’re probably trying to manifest the dream life with your vibe set to “meh.”

    Let me be the big-sister voice in your ear today (with a side of tough love) and remind you of this universal truth:

    Like energy attracts like energy. You want good things? You gotta be good energy.

    We’re diving deep into why “feeling good” isn’t just a fluffy concept — it’s literally the most powerful manifestation tool you’ve got. Forget the vision boards, 5x55 scripts, or whispering your desire into a candle at 2:22 am (although if that’s your thing, I love that for you). If your baseline emotion is burnt toast, you’re not going to attract the five-star breakfast life.

    Here's what we get into:

    • Why feeling good isn’t optional — it’s essential
    • The two major (and totally relatable) mistakes people make when trying to “manifest right”
    • What “alignment” actually means (hint: it’s not just closing your eyes and pretending you already have the thing)
    • The toxic belief that happiness is something outside of you — and how to break that mindset forever
    • Why you might still be unhappy even after manifesting your dream life
    • How to stop “switching on” your high vibes like a light you only use when guests come over

    This isn’t an episode where I hand you another sparkly trick and tell you it’ll change your life overnight. This is the kind of episode that feels like a warm slap in the face (with love) and makes you go:
    “Damn… she’s right.”

    We talk about how the “boring” inner work — the mindset shifts, the emotional habits, the daily choices — is actually the most magical thing you can do for your manifestation journey.

    If you’re tired of feeling like your vibe doesn’t match your dream reality, this one’s your permission slip to start choosing better.
