Latest / Mindful Success Path / How to Manifest a Provider With Manipulating a Man
Transcript
- 0:32If you wanna manifest not just a provider man, but a healthy provider, masculine man, a man who cherishes you, a man who's devoted to you, a man who's not going to try and control you with money, a man who wants to honor you with his provision, then you're gonna have to learn how to do it without manipulating him.
- 0:51Because a lot of the content online about provider men, and how to get a provider man, and how to get a man to pay your bills, a lot of it is just total manipulation, and it doesn't work.
- 1:02The only thing that will do is either attract a man who wants to control you, or put you in a position where you constantly have to be performing and you can never feel like yourself, neither of which work for long-term relationships.
- 1:19So in this video, I'm gonna teach you how to manifest a provider man without manipulating him without playing games, without being sneaky, without being the puppeteer or trying to control or manufacture situations.
- 1:35And I'm doing this based on my 15 years of experience coaching women in different areas of their life.
- 1:40I've actually been teaching ethical influence for a very long time.
- 1:44Now I just teach it in relationships rather than business, which is what I used to do.
- 1:49And in addition to that, it's my own transformation story.
- 1:51It's my own story how I went from being single for 15 years, following a lot of the advice that was online, but something about it feeling really off, and icky, and weird, to realizing that I didn't have to manipulate in order to get a provider man.
- 2:08I didn't have to do a performance.
- 2:10I did have to understand certain things, but I didn't have to perform, and then in four months, manifesting my protector, provider husband.
- 2:18Hi, my name is Amanda.
- 2:19Welcome to this channel where we talk about how to manifest what you want in life without all the extra stress, chaos, and drama that most people are accustomed to.
- 2:27If that's something that you're interested in, make sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don't miss a single video that we have coming out on this channel or live stream.
- 2:35I have a tendency of popping in on live streams.
- 2:37So if you subscribe and hit the notification bell, you'll be notified when I'm live as well.
- 2:42And if you like this video, if you like the content on this channel, go ahead and do me a favor.
- 2:46Give it a like and share it with a girlfriend, because that lets YouTube know who it can put this content in front of.
- 2:52And there's a lot of women who are looking for this right now, because modern dating and modern relationships are a disaster.
- 2:59So you can do your part in helping the world evolve by giving this a like and sharing it with a girlfriend.
- 3:07And finally, if you're new here or if you've been around for a while and you still haven't done this, then make sure to take our free quiz on the divine feminine archetypes.
- 3:17It's three minutes, and it'll let you know which of the archetypes that I teach are most dominant in your life.
- 3:24Because you will oftentimes hear me saying references to things like wounded maiden, awakening warrior, conscious queen, Magnetic Empress.
- 3:32These are the four stages of consciousness, the four divine feminine archetypes, and the four stages of going from false feminine to true feminine that I teach.
- 3:42So if you take that quiz, it'll let you know which archetype is most dominant for you, which stage you're currently in, and it's gonna be really helpful so that you don't get lost when you watch this content So the way that you manifest a provider husband without manipulation is by being honest.
- 4:01Spoiler alert.
- 4:03But we're gonna be talking about what that actually is.
- 4:05We're gonna be talking about how to actually get congruent with your desires, with your thoughts, with your beliefs, and with your actions.
- 4:14Because a lot of what's being taught out here is women saying,"I want a provider man, but I'm going to perform and manipulate to get a specific outcome," which automatically puts you in masculine energy.
- 4:25It's the opposite of feminine embodiment.
- 4:28At that point, you're cosplaying femininity or you're performing femininity, which definitely has its downsides, which I already talked about previously.
- 4:37So let's start going into how we can actually embody true feminine energy, because when you embody true feminine energy, when you go from the false feminine, which is all that manipulation stuff, it's all false feminine, and you start going into the true feminine, m- meaning this is just who you are, this is a part of your new identity, and you're able to stand in that honestly and authentically, then what ends up happening is that you are more likely to attract a healthy provider man.
- 5:07So let's start getting into it.
- 5:08Step number one is you have to define what provision actually is because here's the issue: most women think that provision is just money.
- 5:16Hell, most men think that provision is just money.
- 5:19Is money a part of it?
- 5:21Yes.
- 5:21Is being able to, at the very least, handle all the survival costs a part of it?
- 5:28Yes.
- 5:28Because there is a reality here, and the reality here is you're the one who can get pregnant, right?
- 5:33So you wanna make sure that you can actually get with someone who can support you so that you have the option to stay home with your babies if you want to.
- 5:42But even if you don't want kids, right, even if kids are not, um, in your, your desire list- I mean, number one, you never really know what's going to happen, but number two, that feminine energy comes online in different ways.
- 5:56That feminine energy can come online in terms of, wow, I'm rested and relaxed, and now I have all these really great ideas, and these really great ideas make money, or these really great ideas contribute in some way, shape, or form.
- 6:11Or, you know, here's a concept: how about just not living life exhausted all the time?
- 6:16So even if you don't want kids, it's still really important for you to have a provider man because that's where a lot of your feminine gifts can actually come online.
- 6:24And those feminine gifts are not just helpful for you, uh, they're also very helpful for him.
- 6:30And once a man understands that, oh, my gosh, he, he will provide for you for the rest of his life.
- 6:36I will do another video on that, so make sure to subscribe.
- 6:40But the main thing that I wanna get across here is that you have to define what provision actually is.
- 6:46Money is a tiny piece of provision.
- 6:48It's tiny.
- 6:49And a lot of women who use manipulation, uh, in order to get a man to pay all her bills, or pay for her nails, and my husband used to deal, uh, with women like this, and obviously, he didn't marry any of them.
- 7:01Uh, those women don't understand the true, um, scope of provision, right?
- 7:07Provision is also solving problems for you.
- 7:10I'll give an example from this YouTube channel.
- 7:12Um, I had an idea to create the quiz.
- 7:15My husband built all the technology for the quiz to make my life easier.
- 7:20Um, my husband does a lot of the CEO-ing, to put it that way, because I hate it Right?
- 7:26I'm the creative person.
- 7:28Uh, I love doing content.
- 7:29I love doing videos.
- 7:31I love doing...
- 7:32You know, talking to you guys, and doing live streams, and the retreats, and the classes.
- 7:36That's what I love.
- 7:38Anything outside of that, I don't really enjoy.
- 7:40So my husband, in his provision, uh, who also happens to be really good at business...
- 7:45Don't...
- 7:45You know, don't do this with a man who has not proven that he's also really good at business.
- 7:50My husband has proven that he's really good at business.
- 7:53He had plenty of businesses before he even met me, so I knew he was competent and had the skill set for this.
- 7:59He handles a lot of the CEO-ing, um, to put it that way, because it's, it's such a drain for me.
- 8:05It's such a drain.
- 8:06That is a form of provision.
- 8:09Uh, provision is also protection.
- 8:12Um, it's making sure that you're safe.
- 8:14It's making sure that you're taken care of, which, by the way, uh, to the men and women who are listening to this, p- particularly the men, a lot of you talk a lot about protection, protection.
- 8:23Well, protection, well, guess what?
- 8:24Providing for her and paying for the, at least the survival bills, yeah, that's a form of protection as well.
- 8:32So it's really important for you to define provision.
- 8:35It's really important for you to know what it means to you, it's really important for you to not just stay in this very myopic, definition which only accounts for finances.
- 8:47It's also so much more than just finances.
- 8:51And when you only focus on the myopic thing, which is finances, um, it actually puts you in a position where you need to be rescued.
- 8:59So a lot of women will come to this YouTube channel and they're tired, okay?
- 9:03They're tired of working, they're exhausted, um, they're burnt out, their adrenals are, are shot.
- 9:10Like, I understand, okay?
- 9:11I lived there for a long time.
- 9:13And a lot of them are like,"Oh, my God, can't a man just like swoop me up and marry me and retire me and pay my bills?" Because they're only focused on the bills.
- 9:20They're only focused on the money.
- 9:22And what that does is that actually puts you in a position of needing to be rescued, which would actually put you in the wounded maiden archetype when it comes to relationships.
- 9:31And when you put yourself in a position of needing to be rescued, um, your filters for choosing good men and your vetting process can get very skewed because it's being based on your emotions And wanting to be rescued and wanting to be saved and wanting the Prince Charming.
- 9:49And you will excuse a lot of red flags, when you are in that kind of a, of a position.
- 9:55Or it will skew your vetting process.
- 9:57It will skew your filters, and then you might end up choosing a man that, you're gonna regret later.
- 10:03So again, define provision.
- 10:05Properly define provision.
- 10:08Money is a small portion of provision.
- 10:12It's much bigger.
- 10:13And when you realize that provision is much bigger, then you are able to choose men with good character as well.
- 10:21Because if you're only focused on money, um, and manipulating men in order to get their money and extract resources from them, well, number one, you're literally a prostitute.
- 10:32But number two, um, again, your filters are off, okay?
- 10:36Your filters are off.
- 10:38Or you have to perform for the rest of your life, which is exhausting, or it puts you in a position to be rescued.
- 10:44All of it is false feminine, and when you are in false feminine, you don't tend to end up in healthy relationships.
- 10:52The other way that you can attract a provider without manipulating him is to vet for values So for example, my husband knew that I wanted a provider before we were even dating.
- 11:04We were friends first.
- 11:05Um, and he knew that.
- 11:06He knew I wanted to get married before we were even dating.
- 11:09So when my husband and I got together, um, we already knew that it was a fit for values.
- 11:15And what a, a lot of times what's happening is a lot of women are going into the dating scene, they don't even know what their values are, right?
- 11:21They're like,"I want a provider man, because I just want a guy to retire me and pay all my bills." Again, they don't understand what provision is, like the full scope of provision, they don't understand.
- 11:31It's a very myopic view.
- 11:33But the other thing that ends up happening here is that you don't even understand the values behind wanting provision.
- 11:40So for example, my husband and I value a relationship that wants polarity.
- 11:46My husband and I, um, value a relationship where we stay attracted to each other long term.
- 11:52I value a relationship where the man gets to be more of the leader in a lot of situations, and the problem solver, and the protector, uh, and the provider so that I can rest more in my feminine because I understand that when I rest more in my feminine, a lot more of my creative gifts come online, my intuitive gifts come online.
- 12:14And like I said, my husband and I both value a relationship that has polarity.
- 12:19And a relationship with polarity, meaning what attracts two people together In, in heterosexual couples usually works best when the man is in the masculine pole and he's holding that, and the woman is in the feminine pole and she's holding that.
- 12:35So it wasn't just,"Oh, I want a provider man because I want him to pay my bills and retire me and I'm entitled." It was,"I value having a relationship that's polarized.
- 12:45I value having a relationship that's going to remain juicy for a very long time, and this is what's behind that.
- 12:52This is the type of model, or this is the type of, um, relationship that lends itself to attraction for long periods of time." So notice how it wasn't just,"I want him to pay my bills to rescue me." It was,"I want him to be the provider because I already know that I value a relationship that maintains that long-term attraction.
- 13:16And I already know based on research and psychology and biology and all kinds of things that a relationship where the man is the provider lends itself to healthier relationship dynamics for longer periods of time." So it wasn't just because I wanted a man to pay my bills.
- 13:33It's because I was, I was getting married for the long term.
- 13:36I was getting in a relationship for the long haul, and I already understood some of the concepts that, uh, made that possible.
- 13:45Or a, for example, a value system was, for example, If we ever decided to have children or it happens, then I wanted the option to stay home.
- 13:55I wanted the option to be able to stay home with the kids and not have to work.
- 14:00So my husband and I were on the same page about that.
- 14:05So a lotta times what you have to learn how to do is you have to learn what your values actually are, and you h- when you're out here on the dating scene, if you're learning how to filter for values and character, you don't have to manipulate anybody because it's either a match or it's not.
- 14:20It's that simple.
- 14:22There's no manipulation required The other thing that you'll wanna learn how to do is heal the fear of receiving so a lot of women say that they wanna provide her husband, but they're really horrible at receiving.
- 14:33They're horrible at receiving support.
- 14:34They're horrible at receiving compliments.
- 14:36They're horrible at letting other people solve problems for them, and there's lots of reasons for this, and I'll go into it a little bit more in my next point what one of those reasons are.
- 14:46But in order for a man to want to provide for you, there needs to be space for him to actually provide and a lot of you are living lives where there is no space for a man to provide.
- 14:57So for example, I just did a video on why the strong independent woman struggles in relationships.
- 15:03Well, the strong independent woman struggles in relationships because there's no space for a man, a healthy man, to give to her.
- 15:09And a lot of times we have a lot of wonky feelings around receiving.
- 15:12So sometimes we've been taught that if we receive from other people, it makes us weak.
- 15:17Or we've been taught that we're indebted to the other person.
- 15:19Or the strong independent women, they feel like, um, oh my gosh, there's like an imbalance of power.
- 15:24I have to get the power back to 50/50.
- 15:27And she doesn't realize that feminine power is different than masculine power.
- 15:32It doesn't mean that they're not equal, they're just different in the way that they are expressed.
- 15:37They're both extremely powerful, but the way in which it's, it's expressed is different.
- 15:42Most women don't know that.
- 15:43Uh, so then they, what happens is, for example, a man wants to give to her and she's like,"No, I gotta restore the power balance." And it's like, okay.
- 15:51Sure.
- 15:52Go ahead.
- 15:53Be exhausted for the rest of your life A lot of women also fear judgment.
- 15:56So for example, I come from a family of awakening warriors, strong, independent women.
- 16:01And I do get judged for this.
- 16:02I do get judged sometimes for being in a relationship where my husband is the provider, uh, and I get to have fun.
- 16:11Right?
- 16:11I get to do stuff like this.
- 16:12I get to be a homemaker.
- 16:14Um, I get to have hobbies.
- 16:16I get to, um, spiritually nourish myself a lot more than I did before when I was, you know, hyper-independent and trying to prove myself, and not letting anybody support me or help me because I'm capable and competent, and I get to achieve.
- 16:30You know what I mean?
- 16:31So what happens is like, yeah, there's judgment that comes with that.
- 16:34I get judgment on this YouTube channel.
- 16:36I get passive men, who tell me that I'm teaching women how to manipulate men.
- 16:40I get women who get upset because they tell me that I'm having women go backwards, I have men who get upset because I teach women how to have boundaries and standards.
- 16:50God forbid, right?
- 16:52Obviously, these are not men that you should be dating, and these are not men with good character, because they were planning on manipulating you.
- 16:58I get judged for this stuff all the freaking time, and a lot of people are afraid of judgment.
- 17:03A lot of people are afraid that, you know, if they say,"I want a provider," that they're gonna be judged for it.
- 17:09So what we have to do is we have to learn how to heal those fears that we have around receiving and being provided for because when we heal those fears around receiving and being provided for...
- 17:21And I'll do another video on why it's so important for women to have a provider man, to go deeper into this specific subject, so make sure to subscribe,'cause I just don't have time in this video right now.
- 17:31We just have to heal that, right?
- 17:33So for example, I don't give a shit if you agree with me or not.
- 17:38I'm not here trying to prove a point.
- 17:40I'm just saying this is what works for me.
- 17:42This is what's been shown to work over time.
- 17:44This is what I choose.
- 17:45Here's my opinion based on my professional experience and my own transformation.
- 17:51Take it or leave it, right?
- 17:52It's that simple.
- 17:54Um, and actually, once I healed that judgment, um, it didn't just open up my husband being able to provide for me, um, it also opened up new career opportunities, new creative things.
- 18:06I mean, it, it's very liberating once you heal the fear of being judged for wanting a provider man.
- 18:12The next piece is you wanna learn how to communicate without controlling and I'll give a couple of examples of what that looks like, so communication is really important, and when a woman learns how to communicate in a feminine way, at first glance, it looks like it's manipulation, right?
- 18:29Because it's so different from how we communicate at work or how we communicate with our kids.
- 18:35The way that we communicate in our personal relationships is just a different skill set.
- 18:39So if we look at polarity in relationships, one of the ways in which men fall in love with women is when a woman is able to communicate in a feminine way.
- 18:48What does that mean?
- 18:49That basically means that you are in touch with your feelings, you're honest about your feelings And you know how to communicate those feelings in a healthy way where you understand, okay, well this is just going to land for a man because a man is different than me.
- 19:06It just is what it is.
- 19:07It's like, for example, right?
- 19:09Let's say that I was teaching sales,'cause I used to teach sales for a really long time.
- 19:13One thing that was helpful in sales is understanding people's different personality types.
- 19:18So for example, you may have analytical people.
- 19:20You may have people who are more like drivers and like to move really fast.
- 19:25You have people who might be a bit more grounded.
- 19:27You have people who really like, um, influence and stories and what the dream is, like there's different personality types for how people make decisions okay, well what the hell makes you think that men and women, operate the same way?
- 19:40We're so different in so many different ways.
- 19:43So I oftentimes tell women, you know, the same way that you had to learn how to communicate for work, you have to learn how to communicate in relationships, and the two are not the same.
- 19:52They're two completely different skillsets.
- 19:55The way that you communicate with a man that you are in relationship with, that you are in a romantic relationship with, is not going to be the same skillset that you use to communicate with a male colleague.
- 20:06It is not the same.
- 21:09So you have to learn feminine communication because when you learn feminine communication, yes, your man is going to feel more bonded to you.
- 21:17Yes, your man is going to want to provide for you.
- 21:20But feminine communication is not based on control so let me get into the difference.
- 21:25Let's say for example a lot of women have asked me, right?
- 21:28A lot of women have been like,"Well how do I get my husband to do what, um, I want him to do?" By inspiring him by thanking him when he does a good job now, by appreciating him now by learning how to express your feelings about something in a healthy way.
- 21:45So I'll give this example.
- 21:47I had told my husband, I think it was like a year ago, I said something along the lines of like,"You know what?
- 21:52I would really love to have, um, a place to call our own," right?
- 21:56Um, we've been living in different countries because of my husband's business and I was like,"I'd really like to have a place to call our own that I can just design the way that I want to.
- 22:06That would feel really good to me, right?
- 22:08I, I would love to make a house a home." Because it's the truth, right?
- 22:13I'm not saying that to try and get him to buy a house.
- 22:15I'm saying it because that's how I feel and that's the truth, and that happens to be feminine communication.
- 22:22So what did my husband do?
- 22:23Well, he's literally downstairs at his office right now, with some developers that he partnered with on a project and those developers offered him a plot of land for him to build our own house, to be able to build it here in Mexico.
- 22:37So he's already on it Now, what a controlling woman does and control is the actual manipulation is one of two things.
- 22:45She will speak to him from a place of logic, which is not going to land with a man that you are in a romantic partnership with, because, He doesn't wanna feel like he's arguing with another man, when he's in his romantic partnership.
- 22:56So what that sounds like oftentimes is a lot of women might go to him and she might say,"Why don't you make more money?
- 23:02Why haven't you bought a house for us yet?
- 23:05Why don't we have land?" You know,"Why don't you...
- 23:07why...
- 23:08how about I brush up your resume and we send out some, some resumes out so you can get a job where you make more money?" That's controlling, and that's actually very manipulative.
- 23:18Just expressing your feeling and your desire on you wanting a home, that's just you being honest about how you feel, and it just happens to get the result that you want, which is he's going to step up to try and start solving the problem.
- 23:33That's the difference, right?
- 23:34When you go into control, that's when you're actually trying to manipulate and puppeteer a situation.
- 23:39When you just express your desires and how you actually feel and you do it in a healthy way, you're just being authentic, and it just so happens that a healthy masculine man that you are in partnership with is going to move heaven and earth to get that for you And the final thing you wanna learn is having mutual respect around money so remember how I said that I get judged a lot for saying that I have a provider husband and women should, should have providers?
- 24:04Well, one of the judgments that I get is from women being like,"Oh, well, that's just how men are going to control you," right?
- 24:10Or,"How dare you put women in that kind of a situation?" Little do they know, right, that I also run a business, and that I also know how to make money, and that I also have high-value skillsets, and that I do that in my spare time when I feel like it right?
- 24:24Because...
- 24:25Not because I have to pay bills, but because it's fun for me, and it happens to make money, and all of my money goes into savings and investments, all of it, right?
- 24:36So while a lot of you are fighting to pay half the bills, right?
- 24:39And they're like,"Let me work, and let me go pay half the bills," the, the women who judge me, um, I still make money, and I get to keep my money right?
- 24:47While, while you give half your money away.
- 24:50And I still have influence, and I still have power.
- 24:53I just understand that my power as a woman is different than a man's power and this is where we get into having mutual respect and understanding.
- 25:02My husband and I have a mutual respect and understanding for each of our gifts, and each of our superpowers, and each of our roles.
- 25:10And also each of our differences.
- 25:13We have a healthy respect for each other.
- 25:17We also have a healthy respect for each other when it comes to money.
- 25:22So wanting a provider man doesn't make you a gold digger, just like a man providing for you doesn't automatically mean that he gets to control every aspect of your life.
- 25:32A healthy man would never wanna do that anyway because a healthy man wants to make your life easier, not harder So even if he's a provider, and you're being provided for, the relationship still requires open communication.
- 25:44It still requires an adult partnership.
- 25:47So I've oftentimes said this: I make my own money, and I get to keep all of it, and my husband loves that, right?
- 25:54In addition to that, the other thing that happens is my husband and I meet every Sunday after coffee, and we look at the accounts, and we're like,"What happened this week?
- 26:02What didn't happen this week?
- 26:04Where did money come from?
- 26:05How are we doing with savings?
- 26:06How are we doing with investments?
- 26:08How are we doing with debt repayment?" When it comes to this conversation about being provided for, everyone wants to throw the baby out with the bath water right away, and they're like,"Well, a man's going to control you, and you're gonna have no idea what's going on with the money." An unhealthy man is going to do that.
- 26:23If you have mutual respect in the partnership, you're gonna know damn well what is going on with the money, and he's going to let you know what is going on with the money, and you're going to meet about the money.
- 26:36You are not left in the dark when you have a mutual healthy partnership.
- 26:41It's just that when someone hears,"I want a provider man," or,"I desire a provider man," then again, they throw the baby out with the bath water.
- 26:50So you have immature women who don't understand these things saying things like,"Well, he's just going to control you and leave you in the dark and abuse you." And then you have immature men saying things like,"Oh, well, she's just gonna be a gold digger, divorce me, and take half my money." These are immature people.
- 27:05These are immature, belief systems that people have because once you enter a partnership, and this is assuming that you entered a partnership based on values and character, which is what I talked about previously in this video, uh, you have mutual respect for each other, and you are making decisions mutually, and you are aware of what is going on, and you have a respect for each other's strengths.
- 27:31You have a respect for each other's differences, and you actually learn how to work together.
- 27:36It does not pit you against each other.
- 27:39You actually learn how to work together.
- 27:41Most women who are out here asking to be provided for are doing it from a place of entitlement.
- 27:46I agree with the men on that point,'cause they don't understand provision.
- 27:49They don't understand how to be an adult when it comes to money, and most men out here who are yelling about, um, wanting to go 50/50 because women are going to take all their money, most of those men don't have money, right?
- 28:02I'm just, I'm just being honest.
- 28:04Like, there's nothing to take, um, in that regard, and they too don't understand provision.
- 28:10They don't understand provision from an energetic standpoint.
- 28:13They don't understand provision and how it affects the attraction in a relationship.
- 28:17Most, most of those men just...
- 28:20a lot of them don't even like women, if we're being honest.
- 28:24So I hope that this gave you a bit more clarity.
- 28:27Really ultimately at the end of the day, it's just about knowing what your values are, knowing what your desires are, and being honest about it.
- 28:36And in addition to that, being mature enough to be able to have a mutual respect for each other in a relationship.
- 28:43When you learn how to do that, you don't have to manipulate a man to be a provider.
- 28:47It's not necessary at all.
- 28:49You don't have to play games.
- 28:51You don't have to do it, right?
- 28:53You're just being honest about what it is that you desire and what you value, and you're making your decisions accordingly.
- 28:59You're just finding a value match.
- 29:01That's it.
- 29:01It's pretty simple.
- 29:02It's not that complicated.
- 29:03You're just learning how to communicate your desires and your feelings and your values honestly, and then it's either a match or it's not.
- 29:10It's not any more complicated than that.
- 29:12It's actually pretty simple.
- 29:14The hard part is allowing ourselves to have our desires.
- 29:17The hard part is dealing with the feelings of fear that come with our desires.
- 29:22And the hard part is determining what it is that you even value to begin with.
- 29:26Those are the hard parts.
- 29:27But once you've got that figured out, it's literally just finding a match, and someone's either a match or they're not, and you don't have to play games and And it's actually quite simple.
