Synchronicities

How I was led to my manifestation work.



Let's take things back to the spring of 2023. I was serving my second year in AmeriCorps for a local housing agency. Before this, I was on a much needed break from being a full-time student for six years! I experienced burn out the last year of school and I felt like all I could do was exist - eat, sleep, and be on auto pilot. It was after this that I began my healing journey by having my morning routine at the pond (as mentioned in my previous post).


Once I had grounded myself and regulated my nervous system (there will be a post dedicated to just the nervous system) throughout the summer of 2021, life began to feel smoother. I wasn't fighting my way up stream. This is when I received the opportunity to serve as an AmeriCorps Vista. This was what I had been needing. The gap in time from when I graduated college to when I received this opportunity, I had been job hunting. I needed a job that offered flexibility because of my son's school schedule. There have been no after-school programs available for him so I needed to be home with him after school let out.


AmeriCorps offered flexibility, decent pay (at least more than what I receiving then), and I was able to keep the benefits I was receiving through the state because AmeriCorps is a national volunteer organization with tax exempt allowances. Plus, I was going to have the opportunity to apply just over $6000 to my student loans, each AmeriCorps service year! Yee haa! I felt on top of the world!

During my second year of AmeriCorps service (2022-2023), I started to feel like I wanted to find more people like me. Like-minded women. I was craving connection, and realizing that I haven't had that since high school was such a glaring pit of emptiness. So, one day on my 35 minute drive into work I decided to listen to a podcast for the very first time. I kept seeing the Instagram posts by Teresa Palmer about hers and Sarah Wright Olsen's podcast, The Mother Daze, and decided to check it out.


While listening to that first podcast, I felt uplifted by this feeling of connection generated by these two women. Despite not being physically present with them, I felt like I was included in their circle. I felt connected to their experiences and laughed along with them during funny moments of conversation. It was quite unexpected, and I felt hooked! It was like meeting a new friend.


It was while listening to this podcast when I was introduced to Lacy Phillips and the Expanded podcast. She was a guest on The Mother Daze and spoke about her unique approach to manifestation. Let me just tell you... my whole body resonated with her words! It was a whole body YES, this is for me. In that moment I felt like I had been waiting for something like this to come along for such a long time. Little did I know at the time how much I actually needed it.

I incorporated the Expanded podcast into my morning and afternoon commutes to and from work. I was learning so much about how the manifestation process works and I felt so excited each day to listen and learn something new. The next step would be becoming a Pathway member in the To Be Magnetic community. This is the company founded by Lacy Phillips and where the manifestation work comes from in the Expanded podcast.


At the time, I was living in a state of unworthiness, lack mentality, and fear around...well...a lot. I thought to myself "I can't afford to pay $22 a month right now for this membership." I was actually cutting out a lot of expenses that were not necessities. It was being responsible, and I didn't even think at the time that I was making room for this new opportunity to come in. So, after listening to the podcast for like 2 months, I finally jumped in and became a Pathway member in June of 2023.


In the first month alone I experienced the shifts and manifestations I needed to believe that this manifestation work was really working. In reality, signing up for this membership because I thought I deserved it was the first step in growing my self worth. As it states on the TBM website: "This work is based on Neuroplasticity, the brain's incredible ability to change throughout our lives. It’s a fact that every time we learn or do something new, our brain changes. 

Identifying and reprogramming limiting beliefs is exactly what you will learn in these workshops. Repetition and emotional intensity are key to creating lasting changes in your brain, which is why we recommend a daily commitment, and thus The Pathway membership, for optimal results." https://tobemagnetic.com/the-pathway-membership

Within the first few weeks I began stepping more into my self worth. For little over a month I was driving my son to and from school because the school's transportation was no longer available (he was referred to an alternative school and they were responsible for transportation). I had not asked for mileage reimbursement for that whole time for which I was eligible for, because I had never been great at asking for things I needed (asking for help) or things I felt I deserved. But, now I was not playing small or settling.


In the first few weeks of starting my Pathway membership I not only received the $250 needed to buy a new AC unit, I also stepped up and said to the school I wanted mileage reimbursement for all the times I have driven my son to and from school up to that point in time. That brought in another $1600. Then, the very next day I received an unexpected $1000 bonus at work! Holy crap was I stoked! I was quite honestly taken aback and I had to really let it sink in that this was really happening. I know that might sound a bit much, but for me it was a lot. It was more than a pleasant surprise. This was seeing to believe that when you step into your self worth, your manifestations come into reality.


Don't get me wrong, I was going through the work of unblocking and healing my inner childhood traumas, social programming and conditioning. Sometimes recalling and healing these things can be tough. It might be really painful for some. But, it has been so worth it! This manifestation work became more about healing myself to live a better, healthier life than it was to try to manifest material things. Yes, I want to manifest the life I want, which does include material things like: the home I have always wanted, financial freedom, an aligned wardrobe, etc. However, if I don't heal these inner wounds, traumas, programming...I can't be my whole, authentic self and feel worthy of receiving what it is I want to manifest.


Sometimes synchronicities lead you to where you need to go in order to get to where you want to be. Keep your eye out for those nudges from the Universe (or your higher power) and follow what your heart is telling you, not your head. Be safe out there. Thanks for reading.


Until next time...
