In this episode of The Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa dive deep into the powerful topic of manifestation. They shared the importance of aligning with what you truly want, the role of self-worth, and the significance of clearing out what no longer serves you.

Rather than focusing on rigid goal setting, resolutions, or pressure-driven productivity, this conversation invites listeners to explore manifestation as a lived practice rooted in self-awareness, emotional honesty, self-worth, and alignment. Christy and Christa weave in personal stories, client experiences, and wisdom teachings to offer a grounded, compassionate approach to calling in what you truly want while learning how to let go of what no longer serves you.

This is a conversation about doing the inner work, learning to say no without guilt, and recognizing expanders in your life. Learn how to allow play, joy, and ease to coexist with your personal growth. Christy and Christa reflect on how manifestation often requires clearing emotional blocks, challenging subconscious beliefs, and learning to trust yourself not forcing outcomes or bypassing discomfort.

At its core, this episode is a reminder that this work isn’t magic or wishful thinking. It’s the ongoing practice of aligning your energy, actions, and beliefs with the life you want to live while staying deeply present and grateful for the life you already have.
