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

    Send us a text

    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.

  • 69. What If Your 80-Year-Old Self Woke Up Today? A Manifestation Mindset Shift
    Jun 8 2025

    Send us a text

    Hiiiiiiii guys, welcome to this week's episode of The Universe Is Your Friend!!!

    Okay, hear me out: what if your 80-year-old self literally woke up in your body today? She stretches, opens her eyes… and boom. She’s you again. She’s back in your 20-something body, with your current life, relationships, opportunities, and even your daily coffee order.

    Would she waste the day doom-scrolling and doubting herself? Or would she soak up every second, hug the people she loves, take the risk, wear the bold lipstick, and finally post the thing?

    In this episode, I walk you through a little manifestation mindset shift you can use any time (but especially when you’re feeling stuck, flat, or like life’s just... meh).

    I explore how this simple visualisation will help you:
    - Feel guided by your old gal wisdom, not your worries

    - Realise most of your current problems aren’t that deep at all

    - Shift back into a vibe of gratitude, love and possibility (supercharging your manifestation power)

    - Tap into all the things she’d kill to have again — which, plot twist, you still have now

    It’s your dream life but with a slightly wrinkly perspective (unless you're Kris Jenner cos Queen's never met a wrinkle in her life).

  • 68. Staying High Vibe & Connected To Your Manifestations Through The Winter
    Jun 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Oh helloooo there! Welcome to this weeks episode of The Universe Is Your Friend podcast!!!!

    Today my dears, I am talking about how we can all stay high-vibe and connected to our desires in the cold barren winter. NOW DON'T BE FOOLED!!! by the misleading comments at the start of the episode, in which I say that this episode isn't focused on winter specifically... because it totally is.

    So whether you're currently going into winter like I am down here in little old South Australia or you're just taking some tips for when the next winter rolls around - maybe you're just in a stale place in general for whatever reason - this episode is going to give you a couple tips on reconnecting with your magnetic energy and The Universe.

    So to be clear, what I mean by "staying high-vibe and connected to your manifestations" is that we are aligned with these four things:

    - We're embodying the feeling and the mindset of the version of us that already has our desires.

    - We're centered in gratitude and inner peace; we aren't in a rush and we know there what we have right now is enough.

    - We're centered in an abundance mindset instead of a lack mindset; we aren't in worry, doubt or fear, but instead in trust, surrender and positive belief.

    - We know what we need to do to get one step closer to our desires; this isn't necessarily knowing the "how" and this isn't rooted in hustling or grinding. We simply know what we need to do and/or give ourselves today.

    Now it's important to note that this energy and mindset, though positive, aligned and high vibrational, isn't always energetic, loud or obvious. As humans we aren't always meant to be going at it 100%, screaming from the roof-tops and that's okay! There is no toxic positivity here. Being in your power looks different for everyone on every given day.

    We aren't here to "fix" anything but simply recalibrating ourselves for the winter ahead, so that we can be our best selves, even when we're operating at 50%.

  • 67. Are You Separating Yourself From Your Manifestations?
    May 26 2025

    Send us a text

    Oh heyyyyy, welcome back to another episode of The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!

    Today my dears, I am starting off the episode by sharing a very exciting achievement with you all, which is actually the very thing that inspired today's topic.

    As I sat back and marveled at this incredible milestone and achievement that is right on the horizon, it got me thinking about how not so long ago I used to visualise this very thing coming to life. I would sit there with my eyes closed and visualise this desire manifesting and every time I would see it coming to life in my mind, I would simultaneously picture myself "having it all figured out".

    It was hard for me to imagine this manifestation coming to form without me already being the perfect person; without already having the money and the extra skill and the extra confidence, the experience, the income, the audience, the perfect lifestyle and routine. THAT was the version of me that would achieve this dream.

    And as I sat here finally holding that very desire in my hands (exceeding all my expectations by the way), I looked around and realised, I don't have it all figured out. I don't yet have the endless confidence, or the extra income, the perfect lifestyle and routine. I have grown and developed so much... but I'm no where near that "perfect" version of myself and I never needed to be.

    So today, I talk about this silly habit that many of us have, to always visualise our desire in the dream setting. In the dream house, with the dream work schedule and the dream income. Most importantly, I talk about how we MUST set the intention that we are ready to receive our desire NOW, AS OUR CURRENT SELF, IN OUR CURRENT REALITY!

    Though it is lovely and so powerful to picture the fully functioning dream life with all the tiny details moving in harmony, it is just as important to picture our manifestation arriving for our current self. You are so deserving and so capable of receiving your deepest desire now, but YOU have to declare that to the Universe, open yourself up to receiving it and embody the energy that it's already happened.

  • 66. The Messy Middle... Where Manifestations Come To Die
    May 19 2025

    Send us a text

    I'm BACKKKK!!!!! Hi guys, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!!!

    I'm finally back and better than ever after having two weeks off from the pod. A well needed break to decompress, recharge my creative juices and focus 100% on other shit without ripping my hair out. Hope you missed me x

    This week I am talking about "The Messy Middle", a term coined by the wonderful Erika Cramer, in her fabulous book "Becoming Magnetic".
    Psst, we are currently reading Becoming Magnetic in The Book Club... GO AND JOIN, IT'S INCREDIBLE!

    The Messy Middle, also known as that awkward fucking space where you've out grown your old-self but your new-self hasn't quite clicked yet. When you've quit the job but haven't found the perfect career opportunity yet. When you've started the dream business but haven't yet landed the first client. When you've broken up with your boyfriend but haven't quite found your single groove yet. It's tough, it's rough and it's the story of every single person who has transformed their lives.

    When you're in a messy middle you might feel intense fear and doubt. After all, you have shed everything you know (whether in one single area or you're doing a complete life renovation), but there isn't yet any sign that your dream is going to arrive. You wonder every day "have a made a mistake? Have I done something wrong? Should I pivot? Should I undo all the work I've done? WHO DO I THINK I AM TO HAVE TAKEN THIS LEAP OF FAITH!?!?"

    Right now I am currently in the thick of a messy middle and Lordy, Lordy, LORD. Let me tell you, it takes work to not give into the fear and run screaming back to the old version of yourself. The worst part is when you realise... you can't go back. That old version of you - those relationships, those beliefs, that environment, that lifestyle - it doesn't work anymore. It's dead, gone and buried. Which is a blessing and a curse, because you have no choice but to push through this horribly uncertain phase and come out on the other side a new, improved version of you.

    If this sounds all too familiar, it's your lucky day. I have just the advice that will help you get through this phase with your sanity still intact <3

  • 65. Let's Talk About Hitting Burnout While Manifesting Your Dream Life
    Apr 27 2025

    Send us a text

    Hi There, welcome to this week's episode of The Universe Is Your Friend!

    Today I am getting super real, super honest, super unfiltered (or rather unedited) and talking about how I have recently been nearing burnout!

    We all know, as I remind you guys all the time, I am living my goddamn dream life! I look around everyday and thank the Universe for the life I get to live, but still, it is simply part of the human experience to have down phases. I am currently entering one of those. So it's time to take a break.

    Today I really just ramble about what's been going on lately and how I have decided to address it. There is no script, there are basically no notes. Just pure yap and vibes.

    Hopefully some of you find this relatable and comforting <3 because no matter how blessed you are in life, no matter how far you've come and how fabulous you are at manifesting. You will sometimes feel like poop and need a break, and that's okay.
