- High Five Hot Mess Podcast: So Lisa, walk us through the power of manifesting and through the lens of the story that you told me with our people. Yes. ⁓ And for the audience, I love the fact that I manifest lots of things in my life. There is not enough time to go through it all, ⁓ but I will tell this story right because it was something Lisa, you and I had an exchange about and it had just happened at that point. Great. So I was at my boyfriend's house and his driveway, this was on a Sunday, and his driveway has like these white pebbles and everything through it. So I was leaving and I noticed in the tire, the front driver's side tire, I noticed this thing in the tread. And so was like, what is that? And so I picked it out, was like, ⁓ it's just a stone. And then I thought to myself, that would really be a terrible thing to end up with a flat tire. Now, I didn't cancel that out of the universe. I left it there. So home I go, Monday I go to work, Monday I'm leaving work and I start to pull out of my slot and what happens, but it's like, do, do, do, do, do, my car. I'm like, what is that? So I pulled back into the spot and sure enough, I got a flat tire and it is the front driver's side tire. was the same tire. Yes. So I thought, what? Okay. And in my mind, I wasn't mad. just, cause I thought to myself, I didn't cancel out of the universe and I left it there and I got exactly what I had asked for. So I had been meaning to sign up for a roadside assistance for a while. And so it was all of sudden that day I was like, well, so I'm sitting in my car with, know, And I call and I sign up for roadside assistance through one of the big companies that are out there. And I said to them, ⁓ you know, well, they said, well, there's this big fee if we come now or whatever. I said, well, will it be in effect tomorrow? They said, yeah, it should be in effect tomorrow. And I said, okay, fine. So I thought I'm going to leave my car at my office and we're going to call a date. And then the next day I'm I'm on my way to the office and I thought to myself, I wonder if I can manifest a flat tire, I can manifest a whole tire. Because in my mind, what was really initially supposed to happen was they were going to come, they were going to tow my car, I was going to have to go get it repaired, new wheels, because all of this, my car has this formatic thing where if the treads are unbalanced, all this. And I thought, I'm not focusing there. I'm gonna manifest a fixed tire. So all day I just kept envisioning my tire being fixed. the ⁓ work day is over, I go downstairs, I call the roadside folks, they meet me at my car and I'm expecting this big tow truck and everything like that. So sure enough, the roadside guy comes and he says, okay, is that your car? Yeah, that's it. And so he's taking a look at it. And then he says, why I need the lug nuts and all this kind of stuff. Well, the lock for the lug nuts is nowhere to be found. if, but in my mind, I never let go of the fact that I'm just going through the motions. This thing is fixed. It's fixed. So I'm in the back trunk looking for my lug nuts. And all of a sudden the guy says, Hey, come here a minute. I said, I go around and he says, um, yeah. He said, uh, he says, he said, do you see that? We're like air or whatever this bubbling. I said, yeah, he says, that's the hole. He said, I don't know how this happened, but it's sitting right on top. Whatever must've punctured it is gone. And he said, I can actually fix it right here for you. I don't need your lug nuts. I don't need to tow you anywhere. So I said, oh, so all of a sudden he just refilled it and he says, you're good to go. It didn't cost me a dime. I said, that's it? He said, yeah. He says, you're good to go. says, see you later. And he gets in his truck and he drives off and I'm standing there like, it's fixed. It's fixed. So I did it. All I needed to know was that it was going to be fixed and it was going to fixed in a way that was going to be very easy for me. I didn't have to be bothered with how that was going to happen. I followed inspired action, which was initially Okay, I've been meaning to sign up for roadside assistance. Now's a good time to do it. I did. They came and it just was, boarded me. I was easy for me to Uber home that night. My car was in a safe garage. I could leave it. I Ubered back the next day and sure enough, and I just kept it in my mind all day that this was not going to be a problem and it would be fixed. So not only did I finally sign up for the roadside assistance that I had every intention of doing anyway, But my tire got fixed and I didn't have to go to the tow, I didn't have to get it towed. I didn't have to go to the station. I didn't have to buy new tires. I didn't have to do any of that. And it was done. I love that story so much. So again, like here's me talking to Lisa about the same story ⁓ later. that discussion was part of a much more profound like realignment of my mental state. Cause I, you know, I had come to where we were and I was like talking to you about like nothing, none of my conversations I was supposed to have are happening. Everyone's booting me. Everyone's rescheduling me. what are we going to do? And you're like, well, what do you want to do? And I'm like, uh, so like, you know, it's one of those, it's the power of, of imagining what you want for yourself. Like, you know, telling the universe what you want for yourself is sounds like to me, somebody who had never done it before, it felt a little silly. Like I was kind of like, I don't mean, I would love for that to be true, but I don't know if that's true. doesn't happen for me. Right. And it doesn't happen for me. So I was kind of like, but It was part of a larger discussion where I really thought that I was really getting in my own way, imagining negative outcomes without addressing that those negative outcomes are really not realistic. Even if they were realistic, I'd be fine, whatever. I thought a lot about that and I talked to Lisa a lot about it as well because we're both two very pragmatic people who are... Lisa's way more woo than me. I am not woo in any way, or form, but I'm becoming a believer. one of the things that she tells me this story that I go on a month long vacation, Doug and I left the country and we're on after being gone for a month, we come back and our last leg of the flight, we're at the airport, it's holiday time. Everybody is trying to get home from the holidays and we're at the airport and our last leg. was the pilot comes out and he's like, there's a problem with the plane. We don't know how long it's going to take. And everyone is like, ugh, we're this close to being home. And especially after being gone for so long. And people are getting really upset because they're trying to fly to this destination because they want to spend time there. And we're just trying to get home. And everyone's got their own gripe about the situation. And so Doug is on the phone, you know, talking to people and being like, Hey, heads up, we're stuck at this airport. We might not make it there on time. And I go over to the window and I see the guy, the mechanic under the plane and he's just like standing there staring up at it. And I'm like, and I thought of you and I was like, this is going to be fine. He's going to look at it and be like, ⁓ it's not what I thought it was and the plane's going to be fixed and we're not going to have a delay at all. I kept coaching myself on why these were, it was all okay. Like my baggage is on the plane. I don't have to worry about lugging that anywhere. We don't have anywhere we have to be. The person I love most in the world is with me. So like... It's us against the world. Like this is not a bad situation. This is the best possible time for this to happen. And it's fine. Like everything's going to be fine. And then I walked over and I told Doug literally, hey, the plane's going to be fixed. cause literally everyone is like leaving, you know? And I'm like, don't leave. This plane's going to be fixed and we're going to get, we're going to get out of here on time. And just then the pilot announces like, Hey guys, it's not what we thought it was. We're going to board the plane. We should be off on time. I'm not exaggerating any way, ⁓ or form. This is verbatim what happened. And I was so overwhelmed with gratitude that we were leaving on time, but so overwhelmed by my power. You know, like the power that I have in me to make the universe shift to my will. And I was like, this is the, and we all have that, right? This is, this is a lot of what you talk about ⁓ to me in our conversations, but also on your podcast and anywhere that you can talk about it is that, you know, it's, it's up to us what we want and what we want to happen to us or to us around us is, is really up to us. And I thought that was such a cool story. And then when I actually put it into practice, it blew my mind. It blew my mind. I just thought it was awesome. And I told Lisa about it and she was, texting her from the plane, like the whole scenario and she's like, you've got to tell Lisa Ryan. And I'm like, I know, but how do you like, hey, I'm not a witch. I'm just power, I'm manifesting powerful things. was humbling is what it was. It a great It's amazing. Well, we're all energetic beings. ⁓ And when you do realize that you are in charge of your reality and everything that comes to you is a derivative of your thoughts, it becomes very intriguing. that's why they say ⁓ thoughts create emotions and emotions are energy and motion. And so the things that you think about, you bring about. When we actually start to have those emotions, that's the energy that we start putting out. So they say, in many instances, it is very important to be clear on what you want, but you have to believe that it's already done. And you have to see yourself in that feeling state. You have to imagine yourself. Like for me with the tire, I imagined the tire being fixed. I imagined the the conversation I was having with the repairman when he's like, you know what? It's all better. You're done. It's fine. And so for me, I knew that, and the other part that we have to be very keenly well aware of is that the how belongs to the universe. That is not ours. That is not our business. It's not our lane. How things happen belongs to the universe. We take inspired action when we get those universal nudges to make something happen. And other than that, it's none of our business. And that in and of itself is magical. you, people should start small, do something small. They say, ⁓ you know, like if you think of green cars, thinking of a green car, you watch everywhere you drive, you're gonna see green cars. If you think about, I'm gonna, a lot of times when I go out for a run, I think to myself, ⁓ I'm gonna find, I'm gonna find a coin. I'm gonna find a coin on the sidewalk. and I'm out running, sure enough, I will find a coin and I'm not looking for it. It might just happen to be the area that I stepped down in the crosswalk and I looked down at that very minute and there it is. It is incredible, but you have to also then ask and let go, let go because when you let go of it, there's no more resistance. You know it's coming into reality. So start small, do something small. And you would be amazed because they say, ⁓ who is it? ⁓ Esther, is it Esther Hicks? Esther and Abraham Hicks. I think they said it. If you can manifest a button, you can manifest a castle. Absolutely. The world is your oyster. I know it sounds, sometimes it sounds like that's crazy. it is, have lists of things that I've manifested into my life. Things. that have seemed so far reached that there's no possibility that that could have ever happened. And it has. you know, I think I told you a little while ago, a very easy one. That's why it starts small. I have in our area, you know, Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's has this thing where they, wherever the Trader Joe's is, they have grocery bags that represent that state. And so I naturally have the the Trader Joe bag, the recycle little grocery bags, not the fancy ones on TikTok with the canvas and all that. It's just the recyclable ones. But so I've got, ⁓ I've got one for the state that I'm in and for a couple of the surrounding states. If I went there, whatever, I have those. Well, I once upon a time lived in North Carolina and I thought I would love to get a bag from North Carolina. I'd love to, I'd love a Trader Joe bag from North Carolina, but North Carolina is nowhere near me. But yes, that was my desire. Legit, one week later, when I'm at Trader Joe's doing my grocery shopping, I'm humming along to the checkout and I turn around and I see some recyclable grocery bags. And so I said to the guy, said, what are those bags? He says, ⁓ North Carolina, they were shipped here on accident. I said, I'll take two. I was like. So that is how easy that is. And I was so excited. I don't know if you're familiar Trader Joe's, they have this bell where they're like, ding, ding. So I was like, everybody listen. Because I was so excited. And I get so high-vibed when I'm like, anybody can do this. Anybody can do this. And so I was sharing. I'm I manifested that grocery bag. I did that. And I'm telling the story. And so the guy just starts ringing the bell. I'm like, you know, it's because everybody there all of a sudden was feeling like this like You know this one woman caught me as I'm walking out. She's like, oh, believe in that too. I'm like good Oh, that's great. You know, like just get out there and manifest all amazing things because you can You absolutely can and the only thing that we put in our power our path is our own resistance we put all of the worry all of the the scarcity mindset, we put the fear-based thoughts, we put all the what ifs and ⁓ but I don't know if that's for me, I don't think I deserve that. All of those negative thoughts we put in our path, that just slows it down. Doesn't mean we're not gonna get there. It slows it down. And another analogy that I learned very early on years ago now was we... are very much like a GPS. When we set our desire, it's like getting in your car and setting your GPS for a final destination. I'm going here. When you hit start, there is not a doubt in your mind that you're not gonna get there. You know for sure you're getting there, right? Not a doubt in your mind. And how many times have we been driving down and it says, know, in 0.1 miles, turn right. And you're like, ⁓ no. I don't think I should turn right. I never go right here. I should always go straight here. I'm not going right. I'm going to go straight. That's resistance. So you go straight. Next thing you know, the GPS is recalculating. So guess what? You're still going to get to your final destination, but because you put resistance in your path and you chose a different route, you now are going to sit in a little bit of traffic. which is going to make your final destination coming to you a little bit longer, but you're still gonna get there. And that's exactly how manifesting works. When you put your desire out there, you have to know that it's already done and it's coming to you. And then you just have to let go of how it comes to you and be so excited knowing that you have declared it. The universe has said, your wish is my command. And now you're on your way. Lisa, I want to be you when I grow up. just listen. Every time I talk to you, I feel like I'm leaving a better person than when I found you. Especially because mean personally, we talked about I'm having a real wild energy, everything is not really going my way type of environment, but I'm trying to vibrate high and be like, it's not going your way. It is going your way. You just need to relax and trust the GPS, right? And I just think that that, I mean, I always say things, like I have the kitschy sayings of like, if you visualize it, you will realize it. And like, I truly believe that like, self-fulfilling prophecies are real. Like if you are thinking bad thoughts or thinking negative things, like that is what is going to come to fruition, which ties back into everything we've been talking about today. But man, I just always, I love your outlook and I love the GPS analogy. for me, like, I don't know if you saw the light bulb go off, but it definitely, it definitely did. And I, I just know that someone out there that's going to be listening to this is going to have that light bulb go off too. And so I'm going to, I'm going to really focus this week ⁓ on making sure I listen to the GPS and making sure that I am. manifesting what it is I want to happen and building that pathway to that thing that I want to happen. And I love it. I love this so much. Thank you so much, Lisa Ryan. you're welcome. And thank you so much, Lisa Wilson. You're welcome.
