This week’s episode of The Universe Is Your Friend explores a trap that so many of us fall into without even realizing it: treating The Universe like Amazon Prime. We get caught up in this constant cycle of asking, scripting, visualizing, manifesting—where every spiritual practice becomes a means to an end. Instead of meditating to feel peace, we meditate to become “magnetic.” Instead of writing gratitude lists to actually immerse in appreciation, we do it because we think it’ll speed up our desires arriving. Without meaning to, we start interacting with The Universe purely to get something out of it.

And here’s the truth: that mindset doesn’t just feel empty, it actively disconnects you from the deeper relationship you could be building with Source energy, God, or whatever higher power you connect with. Because spirituality and manifestation aren’t about performance. They’re about presence. They’re about returning to yourself, experiencing your practices for the genuine rewards they bring, and reconnecting with the energy that holds you through it all.

In this episode, I’ll walk you through:
✨ The difference between genuinely connecting with The Universe vs. treating it as a transaction.
✨ How to spot when you’re performing your rituals for the “reward” instead of the experience.
✨ Why this mindset keeps you stuck in lack and constantly chasing your desires.
✨ How to reframe meditation, gratitude, visualization, and other practices so they light you up in the moment.
✨ Practical steps to nurture your relationship with The Universe just for the joy of connection.

Here’s the shift: when you journal, meditate, visualize, or practice gratitude, do it for the sake of it. Do it because it feels good. Because you value peace, clarity, connection, and joy. Because these practices make your human experience richer even without a manifestation attached. That’s the real magic. That’s the natural reward that expands your vibration in the most authentic way. And ironically? That’s also when your manifestations flow more effortlessly, because you’re no longer chasing—you’re simply existing in alignment.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, burned out, or like your manifestations are always just out of reach, this episode will help you reframe your practices and rebuild a genuine, non-transactional relationship with The Universe. Because manifestation isn’t about scheming your way to what you want—it’s about becoming the person who no longer needs to chase.

This week’s episode of The Universe Is Your Friend is all about a concept that’s often overlooked but can completely change the way you approach manifestation, decision-making, and even your day-to-day happiness: core values.

Here’s the thing—most people set goals, chase achievements, or even try to manifest desires without ever checking if those things are actually aligned with their deepest values. That’s why you can manifest the car, the relationship, or the job and still feel strangely empty. Because if what you’re calling in doesn’t match your core values, it won’t feel fulfilling no matter how shiny it looks on the outside.

So what are core values, really? They’re not just cheesy buzzwords from school posters or corporate mission statements. They’re the personal, non-negotiable truths that guide the way you live. Think of them as the compass that keeps you on track when life feels overwhelming, distracting, or uncertain. Without them, you risk drifting through life on autopilot—reacting instead of intentionally creating. With them, you can filter decisions, attract aligned manifestations, and build a life that actually feels good from the inside out.

In this episode, I’ll break down:
✨ What core values really are and why they’re more powerful than goals alone.
✨ How to uncover your own values, even if you’ve never thought about them before.
✨ Why manifestation feels inconsistent or disappointing when your desires aren’t rooted in values.
✨ The difference between surface-level wants vs. values-driven intentions.

Because here’s the truth: goals will change. Desires will evolve. Timelines will shift. But your values? They’re your roots. They’re the steady foundation that keeps you from getting swept up in comparison, chasing dreams that aren’t yours, or abandoning yourself just to “get ahead.”

And when you start manifesting from your values instead of just your wants, something incredible happens: you stop searching for external validation to tell you you’re on the right track. You already know. You feel it in your bones. Suddenly, manifestation becomes less about proving something and more about expanding into who you already are.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve manifested things that didn’t feel as satisfying as you thought, or if you’re constantly second-guessing whether you’re even on the right path, this episode is going to give you clarity and direction. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to identify your core values and start using them as your personal navigation system—the flashlight that guides you through the dark, the compass that keeps you steady in a storm, and the map that reminds you where you’re really heading.

This week on The Universe Is Your Friend, we’re talking about something that quietly holds so many of us back in manifestation: resistance. It’s the invisible parking brake that keeps us stuck, no matter how hard we press on the gas.

Recently, I’ve been diving deep into EFT tapping, spending almost an hour a day clearing blocks I didn’t even know I had. And babes… the shifts have been insane. Without even consciously working on certain limiting beliefs, I’ve found entire thought patterns dissolve—suddenly making me open to new opportunities that once felt impossible. This really showed me how much of our manifestation struggles come not from “not working hard enough,” but from the resistance we’re carrying.

In this episode, I share an analogy I heard while tapping along to a “Tap with Brad” video that stopped me in my tracks: trying to manifest while holding resistance is like driving with the parking brake on. Most of us think the answer is to push harder, hustle more, or do more rituals—but the truth is, we could actually get where we want to go with less effort, if we simply released the resistance.

And this doesn’t just apply to taking physical action. So many of us are unconsciously “working hard” to manifest—journaling obsessively, meditating for hours, desperately trying to “surrender.” But that energy of trying, straining, and needing? That’s resistance disguised as alignment. It repels the very thing we’re calling in.

Resistance shows up in two main ways:

• Unconscious resistance: limiting beliefs and old programming (like “money is unsafe,” “love leads to pain,” or “I’m not worthy”) that block desires from reaching us.
• Conscious resistance: the obvious frustration, tension, and control we feel when we can’t accept things as they are (like checking your phone every 3 minutes for a text, or spiraling when things don’t happen fast enough).

The key isn’t to do more. It’s to notice where we’re resisting and dissolve it. In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

• How to spot resistance in both its unconscious and conscious forms
• Why resistance makes us work harder than necessary—and often ends up pushing our desires further away
• How EFT tapping, affirmations, self-awareness and reprogramming can dissolve old blocks
• The simple steps to shift from resistance into allowing

When you learn to release resistance, manifestation becomes so much easier. You don’t need to scream your desires at the Universe—you can whisper, trust, and receive. The work you do take feels inspired, potent, and powerful, because it’s no longer fighting against a wall of hidden blocks.

Resistance isn’t proof that you’re unworthy or failing—it’s just old programming running the show. And once you learn how to turn that parking brake off, you’ll be amazed at how naturally your manifestations begin to flow in.

This week’s episode of The Universe Is Your Friend dives into a topic that’s been on my mind ever since I shared my episode about delusional manifesting. If you’ve been around manifestation content for a while, you know this concept sparks a LOT of opinions. People either swear by it like it’s the holy grail, or drag it like it’s the most toxic mindset of all time.

Here’s the thing: delusional manifesting isn’t inherently good or bad. It’s simply a tool. And like any tool, it works differently depending on who’s holding it. The people who thrive with it are usually deeply self-aware, emotionally resilient, and consistent in their beliefs. The ones who struggle with it — myself included at times — often forget that living in the end isn’t just a one-time decision. It’s a daily choice.

So what is delusional manifesting? At its core, it’s about believing in your bones that your desire is already yours. It’s acting, speaking, thinking, and living from the version of you who already has what you want. It’s creating such a strong sense of certainty, that when your manifestation arrives, you think: of course this happened.

But here’s the catch most people don’t talk about: being delusional in this way requires a fortress of unwavering belief. You have to stand strong in your faith, especially when your 3D reality shows you the opposite.

If you take anything from this episode, let it be this: you’ll have moments where you’re sure your manifestation is about to land, and then it doesn’t. In those moments, you cannot flinch. You cannot spiral into disappointment and set up camp there. Yes, it’s okay to feel sad or frustrated. It’s okay to cry, journal, process. But once you’ve felt it? You have to get back on the horse and return to your belief.

In this episode, I’ll guide you through those moments when your faith gets rocked, how to recognise desperation in your manifestation practice, and how to once again trust The Universe. I’ll share why it’s not about toxic positivity or ignoring your human emotions, but about allowing yourself to feel fully, then choosing to return to your belief with even greater strength.

Because here’s the truth: people who manifest delusionally don’t have a secret gene that makes belief effortless. They just know this work requires daily, intentional commitment. Their job isn’t to control the how or the when — it’s to embody the version of themselves who already has it, no matter what.

Because the truth is: delusional manifesting can change your life. But only if you understand how to hold the belief and keep going when it feels impossible.

When it comes to manifesting your dream life, there’s one golden rule that separates the girls who get everything they want from the ones who feel like they’re stuck wishing: they’ve normalized their desires.

In this week’s episode of the TUIYF podcast, we’re diving deep into one of the most underrated yet essential manifestation shifts you can make — and that is the power of normalizing your desire. You might be thinking, “Wait, isn’t it a good thing that I’m so obsessed with my manifestation?” And babe, yes — but when your desire feels too big, too life-changing, and too different from your current reality, you actually create distance from it. Why? Because the more you pedestal your desire, the harder it becomes to embody it.

Let’s break it down. Manifestation isn’t just about thinking positively, saying the right affirmations, or scripting your dream day in your journal. At its core, manifestation is about becoming an energetic match for what you want. And that doesn’t just mean vibing high — it means vibing aligned. Feeling what you would actually feel if your manifestation had already landed in your lap. Acting how you’d act. Believing the thoughts that would feel natural to you if this was just… your life now.

But here’s the catch: you can’t feel like you already have your manifestation if it still feels like some mythical, once-in-a-lifetime, jaw-dropping miracle. That’s why this episode is all about helping you bring your manifestations down from the clouds and into your everyday experience — so they feel inevitable, not extraordinary.

I walk you through why normalizing your desire is not the same as downplaying it — and how you can still be incredibly grateful, excited, and joyful about your dream life, while also letting it become something you fully expect.

Throughout the episode, I also walk you through how to identify if you’ve been putting your desires on a pedestal, why that energy can secretly repel your manifestation, and how to gently shift into a mindset and vibration that actually magnetizes what you want.

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been trying to manifest something for a while and keep feeling like it’s just not happening fast enough.
• You struggle to believe your desire is possible because it just feels too big, too fancy, or too unrealistic for where you are right now.
• You want to feel genuinely aligned with your manifestation — not just hopeful, but certain.
• You’re ready to start walking through your day like the person who already has their dream life — because that’s who you are now.

Whether you’re manifesting $10K months, your soulmate, a creative career, or your next big upgrade — this episode will help you take it off the pedestal, bring it into your orbit, and finally feel like it’s already yours.

It’s your time, Queen. Let’s go make the dream your normal.

WELCOME to another episode of The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!

Tell me, do you ever feel like manifestation advice makes sense in theory, but when you try to actually embody it, your mind wanders, your doubts flare up, and you slip back into your old reality?

Today we’re diving into one of the deepest truths of manifesting anything you want—whether it’s a free coffee, a life upgrade, or your million-dollar dream—and that truth is this:

You have to already be your desire—in your mind, your body, your beliefs, your entire energy system.

That level of embodiment is so powerful that your manifestation doesn’t just feel possible—it feels inevitable. Today I break down exactly what it means to live in that energy, how I recently applied it to one of my biggest upcoming manifestations (weeks away from arrival), and why most people unknowingly sabotage themselves because they never fully commit to their desired reality in advance.

You’ve heard it before, right? “Feel it before you see it,” “act as if,” “live in the end,” and so on. But it never truly clicked—maybe because you focused too much on the technique instead of actually shifting your energy. After all:

• How do you ignore your current reality when it's still right in front of you?
• How do you “act as if” when your bank account doesn’t reflect it?
• How do you stay steady when your mind drifts into doubt?

These questions used to exhaust me. I’d try to craft the perfect visualisation routine but it never stuck—because I wasn’t prepared energetically to embody those beliefs deeply enough.

Recently I had a breakthrough: I decided I wanted this desire so badly that I fully invested in living it now—emotionally, mentally, spiritually—before it showed up externally. I spent a dedicated hour EFT tapping while vividly imagining every single detail of what life would look like after manifesting. I pictured months of my future reality:

• Waking up in a new space
• Moving differently in my body
• Buying differently, speaking differently, thinking differently
• Feeling differently, because so many of my current worries would finally be solved

Once this became inevitable in my mind, the possibility of it not happening felt bizarre. Doubt had nowhere to cling... and when you feel that your desire is the next logical thing to happen? That's when your manifestation is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

So join me today as I walk you through:

• Reprogramming your subconscious beliefs with EFT Tapping
• Creating a vision so precise and satisfying, you can't help but align with it all day long
• Creating such unshakable faith in your new reality, you effortlessly make decisions and take action from the energy of your highest-self
• A daily routine that will make even your wildest desires feel like "Duhh? Of course this is my life!"

Oh hey there, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast.

Let me guess: you’re doing your manifestation rituals, saying your affirmations, watching your language, and maybe even visualizing like a queen… but deep down, your dream life still feels kind of far away. If you’ve ever wondered why manifestation feels inconsistent or slow — this episode is going to shift your whole perspective.

Today, we’re breaking down one of the biggest manifestation mistakes I see people make: separating their manifestation practice from the rest of their life. This subtle but powerful pattern is one of the sneakiest ways we self-sabotage — and it’s likely the exact reason you haven’t fully embodied your dream reality yet.

Here’s how it usually goes: you tell yourself “I’m manifesting money,” so you do a journaling task, say some affirmations, maybe even catch a few negative thoughts and reframe them. But then? You go back to your day. You mentally clock out of manifestation mode and step back into your old identity — the version of you who still feels broke, stuck, confused, doubtful, and detached from the reality she’s trying to create.

In this episode, I explain why that disconnection is such a manifestation killer and what it really means to align your entire lifestyle with your desires — not just your 10-minute routine.

We’ll talk about:

• Why manifestation is not a “task” you do — it’s who you are.
• The illusion of “activating” manifestation and how that keeps you stuck.
• How to stop going in and out of alignment without realizing it.
• Why your manifestation routine might be slowing you down.
• The difference between performing your desires and living them.
• How to create a slow but permanent identity shift that actually reflects the life you’re trying to call in.

You’ll also hear the hard truth (but a loving truth!) that you’re manifesting 24/7 — whether you’re aware of it or not. The Universe isn’t only listening when you’re doing your rituals. She’s listening to your words, your energy, your decisions, your inner beliefs, your patterns — all day long. If those things don’t reflect your desires consistently, that’s the misalignment. That’s why things aren’t clicking.

This episode is your reminder that manifestation isn’t something you earn or unlock after doing all the “right” things. It’s not about micromanaging your thoughts or obsessively watching what you say. It’s about becoming. Becoming the version of you who naturally aligns with the outcomes you want, even when you're not thinking about it.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated that you’re doing “all the right things” but your reality isn’t shifting… you NEED this episode. Because truthfully, this might be the exact shift you’ve been missing — and once you make it, your manifestations will feel closer, more natural, and more effortless than ever before.

Oh heyyyy, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!

Tell me, do you ever feel like the more you try to manifest something, the more your brain reminds you it hasn’t happened yet? Like every time you visualise your dream life or repeat affirmations, that little voice in the back of your head chimes in with “but it’s not real though”?

In this episode, I’m sharing a simple yet wildly powerful technique I use when I feel fear, doubt, or resistance around my desires. This is the same grounding practice I’ve used for years to stay calm in anxious moments—but when paired with a manifestation tool I call “present-tensing,” it becomes an absolute game-changer.

We’re diving into:

• What to do when your manifestation practices feel like they’re backfiring
• How to shut down the ego’s favorite doubts (like “it’s not here yet”)
• Why trying to manifest in the past or future might be keeping you stuck
• How to activate your subconscious mind by fully living in the now
• A new way to embody your desires without triggering disbelief
• A practice to instantly reconnect to safety, trust, and receiving mode

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of trying to believe, trying to visualise, trying to affirm—but always feeling like your ego is dragging you back into “reality,” this is the technique that can help you bypass the mental noise and tap back into your power.

It’s gentle. It’s grounding. And it works fast.

P.S. You can do this for just 30 seconds a day and watch how quickly your doubts disappear!
