0:13
and together we can help create your magic,
0:22
welcome back to the manifestation station i am your host holly edwards welcome
0:28
back thank you for joining in.
0:30
I am going to start making the podcast weekly. How do we feel about that?
0:35
I've had so many messages saying I can't wait for two weeks and I did actually
0:40
initially start it weekly.
0:43
I'm a busy girl, I'm a busy girl but aren't we all?
0:46
I'm still working in film and TV, I design hair and makeup for films and TV
0:51
shows, travel the world, I kept the podcast going but I make it fortnightly,
0:56
but I'm going to start bringing it to you weekly.
0:59
That is my commitment to you. But today, welcome back.
1:04
This is the manifestation station where we manifest big, we dream bold,
1:10
and we always come back to the energy of becoming. So I want you to take a.
1:22
Can you believe it's already June? We are halfway through 2025 and maybe that feels exciting to you.
1:31
Maybe that feels incredibly overwhelming or somewhere in between.
1:36
But this episode is for you. Do not panic. It's June. This is a good thing.
1:43
The light is coming through my window as I'm recording this podcast.
1:47
I've actually just, just for this evening, I've just brought my podcast studio
1:53
down to my garden room and I'm sat next to a window.
1:58
The evening, the June evening night is coming through the window.
2:02
It's hitting me in a way that I feel like the universe is here.
2:07
The universe is with us. The universe is going to bring one banger of an episode
2:13
of The Manifestation Station.
2:15
I have also just written in my manifesting book, a whole chapter about romanticizing your life.
2:22
I did an episode a few episodes ago, if you have a scroll back,
2:26
about romanticizing your life and how you can appreciate and create joy in everyday
2:32
moments, making the ordinary extraordinary.
2:35
And that's why I actually listened to myself and thought, no,
2:39
I'm going to bring the podcast down to my little made up studio that I've just
2:43
created in five minutes.
2:45
I've put some lovely peoneers. So I've got some pink peoneers ready to go.
2:49
That's also symbolizing June. I've got the sun hitting my face.
2:54
I've just poured myself a lovely iced tea with ice and garnish.
2:59
I am romanticizing every little piece of this episode. So I hope you join me
3:05
in what is going to be a lovely June reset.
3:11
A June reassess. As I said, we are halfway through 2025.
3:18
So, please, if you're getting to the point of thinking that makes me panic because
3:23
I haven't achieved anything yet, this is for you. If you're excited, this is for you.
3:28
Today is about pausing. It's like a sacred little pit stop, not to judge how far you've come.
3:37
There is no judgment here, but more to honor it.
3:41
So, do not panic over what has or hasn't happened so far this year.
3:47
But more to recommit to what we
3:50
still can we still have six months of
3:53
the year guys it's only June let's put
3:56
it like that it's only June so let's
4:00
be real if you had big plans in January maybe it
4:03
was to start a business find your soulmate get fitter
4:07
get a new job move cities and you feel
4:10
like you're behind on your dreams you are
4:13
so not alone we are
4:17
all of us are so hard on ourselves always
4:20
looking for the next thing I haven't done enough I
4:23
haven't done it quick enough I haven't been consistent enough
4:26
I guarantee you every single person listening to this there will be something
4:31
that you have achieved this year so far there will be steps that you have taken
4:36
even if you feel like your life is absolutely chaotic and maybe you've had a
4:42
breakup or you've lost your job.
4:44
These things can also be positive steps to move you into a new direction.
4:50
The end of an era, the end of something breaking down, this means new beginnings.
4:57
But I want you to listen to this, you are not too late, you're not too lazy,
5:02
you're still learning, you're still learning, you're still integrating, you're still growing.
5:07
So it's time for this episode of the Manifestation Station to shift out of any
5:13
shame and instead into self-celebration.
5:18
This is why this podcast is going to leave you feeling hopeful.
5:22
Hopefully inspired, motivated, and kind of celebrating yourself,
5:28
guys. We are celebrating June.
5:30
We are not worrying about what hasn't happened, what hasn't happened quick enough.
5:35
We are self-celebrating because
5:38
it's the second half of the year it
5:42
is the second half of the year
5:45
and you know what it is the best half the sun is shining it's June the peonies
5:51
are out the sun shines out the barbecues are out new life is just beginning
5:57
why don't we have a little bit of time for reflection and just to kind of think
6:02
for a moment how far you have come.
6:04
So let's look back for a second and remember lovingly, not critically.
6:11
In January, maybe you said, this is the year I'm going to launch my dream business.
6:17
This is the year I'm going to launch my side hustle. Maybe you said,
6:21
this is the year I'm going to get strong and feel amazing in my body.
6:25
Maybe you said, I want to finally leave my job and do something that lights me up.
6:31
Maybe you've said, I want to call my loving, soul-aligned relationship.
6:36
So now fast forward to June
6:38
and I want you to ask yourself what has shifted
6:42
think about that for a minute
6:45
what has shifted maybe you haven't launched your business yet but you maybe
6:50
have bought the domain name maybe you've started sketching out ideas maybe you've
6:55
started speaking to your friends that's momentum maybe you've started speaking
7:00
about your side hustle working out the ins and outs of what you would charge,
7:05
what your business would look like.
7:07
That is still momentum even if you haven't launched your business yet.
7:12
What about if you feel like you haven't hit your fitness goals yet but maybe
7:16
you've just been walking a little bit more, you've been cooking and eating a
7:19
little bit better and maybe you've been listening to your body with love.
7:23
That is still progress.
7:27
Maybe you haven't quit your job yet, the job that maybe you're not enjoying
7:31
or you feel like you're stuck in or that it's not aligning with your soul.
7:35
Maybe you haven't quit the job yet, but maybe you've started browsing.
7:40
Maybe you've started looking for jobs on LinkedIn.
7:43
Maybe you've updated your CV. Maybe you went to an event where there was a networking event. Again,
7:52
something in there. And what I'm saying with all of these things,
7:55
it doesn't mean you have to have done all of them.
7:57
If you've done one slight thing that aligns with that first desire from January,
8:02
that is still progress and things don't happen overnight.
8:07
Maybe you haven't met the love of your life yet. And maybe that was your desire in January.
8:12
But maybe you've done some healing work. Maybe you're a better version of yourself
8:16
than you were in January.
8:18
Maybe you've become clearer about your standards. Maybe you've had some terrible
8:22
dates and some terrible relationships just this year.
8:25
Maybe you've stopped dating, you feel like you've given up. But maybe that's
8:29
choosing yourself and setting yourself higher standards.
8:33
And maybe you've said no to half-hearted energy.
8:37
That, my friends, is June progress.
8:40
None of that is nothing. That is becoming.
8:44
That is your journey to becoming who you want to be.
8:49
Sometimes we have slower progress. Sometimes it's more just about what feels
8:54
like you're going through the motions of life.
8:56
But actually, you don't realize that sometimes resting more or just taking time
9:02
out where you're not going into burnout, maybe that is progress.
9:08
And growth can often look quiet before it gets loud.
9:11
You're not standing still you're simmering
9:15
now let's think about reconnection and check in
9:17
with the January version of you let's bring
9:21
in your January self for a moment so I want you to close your eyes unless you're
9:26
driving unless you're walking if you can close your eyes but if not just stop
9:30
and I want you to picture the January version of you what did she hope for what did he or she hoped for?
9:39
Were they tired? Were they excited? Were they scared to dream big again?
9:44
Maybe you wrote down, I want to start my side hustle and finally quit my nine to five job.
9:49
Maybe you wrote down, you want to wake up early, feel stronger and stop feeling
9:53
disconnected from your body.
9:55
Maybe you said you were going to save money and move somewhere that feels like home.
9:59
Maybe you said you were going to finally get out of that toxic relationship
10:03
and make space for new aligned love.
10:07
So I want you to check in with those dreams from January.
10:11
Think back, what were your January goals? If you had any at all, what were they?
10:16
If you didn't have specific goals, just trying to think about the person that you were in January.
10:22
How were you feeling? How were you feeling about situations in your life at the time?
10:27
What things did you feel like you wanted to change?
10:30
What things did you feel didn't align with who you wanted to be?
10:34
And I want you to check in now with yourself. We're now going to your June self,
10:39
enter June version of you.
10:42
Are those still your dreams?
10:45
Are those still your same dreams? Because I tell you what, it's fine if they've changed.
10:50
And this is why this is such a good subject to deal with in June.
10:54
This is a time to reassess those goals, reassess those dreams and see if that
10:59
you are on the same path because sometimes growth is changing direction and
11:05
things can grow and change as we grow.
11:08
Our desires can change. Our direction of our desires can change.
11:12
Have they evolved? Have your dreams evolved?
11:16
Are those dreams really yours or are they things that you felt like you should want?
11:23
And this happens, I notice a lot in manifesting, that people sometimes put things
11:29
on their manifesting vision boards,
11:31
things that they think they should have, like they think that they want more
11:35
money or they, I mean, listen, let's face it, most of us want more money, don't we?
11:39
But they think maybe they want to get a certain job because it makes them look
11:43
a certain way or they get a higher status or whatever it is.
11:48
It's actually had to think about why do you want that thing?
11:52
Is it something that you really want or you feel you should want?
11:56
That's something that's really good to try and connect with.
12:00
And if your desires have shifted, amazing. You are allowed to change your mind.
12:07
Great that you're checking in with yourself. Great that you're doing a June reassessment.
12:12
You're allowed to change your mind. It's about letting go of the pressure to
12:16
stick to the plan. If it no longer lights you up, that is growth.
12:23
Sometimes we put things on our vision boards and we just keep
12:26
looking at the same thing on our vision board we've got to go for that we've
12:28
got to go for that actually forgetting that our journeys
12:32
can shift and I always think about it like you're
12:35
on a road and sometimes you get these side roads that
12:38
might get you to a destination quicker but maybe
12:41
the maybe the other way that you could go is a
12:44
clearer more beautiful drive like it's
12:47
okay to change direction in
12:50
fact I would say it's more than okay it's better
12:53
than okay it's bloody amazing so
12:56
changing your mind is good if you are sticking to
12:59
the plan because that was the plan in January and you must put
13:02
your head down it's okay to cross things off or lift things
13:05
off of your vision board sticking to the plan if
13:08
it's not aligning with your soul it's going to
13:11
leave you stuck it's going to leave you
13:14
feeling demotivated it's going to leave you feeling quite empty in your soul
13:19
so listen to yourself does your plan does your vision board do your desires
13:25
do they still light up your soul sometimes the most aligned thing you can do is pivot.
13:34
Pivot. Yeah, you know what we're all thinking, don't we? Pivot.
13:38
Anyway, maybe your heart is saying, do you know what?
13:44
I really now, I want more time. I want more freedom, not just more money.
13:50
Because sometimes people just think it's money in the bank, but actually what
13:55
money provides is freedom.
13:56
So maybe you can look at it that you want to ask for more freedom of your time.
14:00
Maybe you want to feel strong and
14:04
soft and happy and relaxed in
14:07
your body maybe you're saying I don't want a relationship for validation I want
14:13
a partner who meets me where I am how much better is that that's so much more
14:18
aligned because sometimes people think well I just want the partner we can do
14:21
the partner things and you know a partner that your your friends love of course
14:26
you're a partner that your friends love,
14:27
but actually a partner who meets me where I am. Isn't that gold?
14:33
So we need to look at recommitment and making space for what still matters.
14:39
So we're talking about growth in changing direction and not just sticking to
14:44
the plan, but also what does still matter to you? What does still matter?
14:50
What dreams still feel alive to you?
14:54
Let's just say you wanted to start your own business.
14:58
Then think about what you can
14:59
do to commit to one powerful step this June or even in this six months.
15:05
Maybe that's booking a branding session or posting your first offer on social
15:12
media or setting your business social media up. Setting up a website.
15:17
Commit to one powerful step to get on your way to starting that business.
15:23
If you want to feel amazing in your body, then commit to one new habit this month.
15:29
Maybe you can commit to three strength sessions or swapping your fizzy drinks
15:35
to water or walking every morning instead of scrolling on your phone.
15:40
If you are looking at your desires that you want a new job, maybe you could
15:46
recommit to messaging three people on LinkedIn this week or working one-on-one
15:51
with a coach. It's things like that.
15:53
Things, what steps you need to think about this. I'm giving you some ideas here
15:57
of if you want a new job, dream body, new business.
16:01
I'm trying to give you ideas, but really stop and think for a minute and think, what can I do?
16:07
What steps can I take today or what steps can I take this week or this June
16:12
to align even just one step, one new habit to align with your desire?
16:20
If you're looking for love and
16:23
you're ready to meet your soulmate what one step
16:26
can you commit to to get yourself closer and
16:30
more aligned with attracting that desire maybe
16:33
you can journal about your ideal partner because it really makes you think about
16:40
the traits and the qualities that you are looking for in your dream partner
16:44
and try not to just be really vague like tall handsome really think about it.
16:51
I want someone who shows up for me. I want someone who's thoughtful.
16:54
I want someone who makes me feel safe. I want someone who makes me laugh hysterically.
17:01
Really think about your ideal partner and maybe journal.
17:05
Journal that or make a list. This is actually what I did before I met my soulmate.
17:09
I wrote, well, I say quite a long list.
17:12
It was a good list and And it had qualities on that I was looking for in a partner and,
17:20
Having had relationships that didn't work in the past or dating experiences
17:24
that didn't work or having my heart broken, it was those kind of moments that
17:28
really made me realize that I got really so clear.
17:33
I suddenly became so clear on what
17:36
it was that I actually wanted out of a relationship and out of a partner.
17:41
And needless to say, that list worked because that attracted my dream partner in.
17:47
And I suppose by creating a list, you are providing yourself clarity,
17:52
you are writing it down and apparently, well, I say apparently, it is known.
17:57
It is a known fact. I know it as a manifesto, but it's actually a scientific
18:01
fact that if you write down a desire, then it's far more likely to come to you.
18:08
Because writing it down, it kind of, it's like it puts it in the forefront.
18:13
It takes it out of your brain, puts it onto paper and it activates it in the
18:18
universe. It's almost like it becomes a focus and it becomes real by writing it down.
18:23
So yes, if you're looking for love, maybe that's one step you can commit to.
18:27
Maybe you can recommit by dating differently.
18:30
Maybe if you haven't tried online dating, you can upload a profile and start online dating.
18:37
Maybe if you've done online dating and you don't like it,
18:41
join your local gym or try some new hobbies or join a dance class where you
18:46
might meet people and kind of, you know,
18:49
meet a new friendship group that could lead to new people or the love of your
18:54
life just happen to walk into your life.
18:56
Or maybe that's one step is you just working on yourself to becoming open to
19:03
receiving love in all forms.
19:05
So if you're feeling bitter about being single or bitter about not having met,
19:11
you know, your soulmate, then
19:14
maybe it's working on yourself to remove and let go of that bitterness,
19:19
let go of the hurt, let go of
19:22
the fear of not meeting someone and be
19:25
open and ready to receive love in all
19:28
forms now I have a whole episode on manifesting love
19:31
and there are various things you can do to help with those steps as well but
19:36
if I was going to summarize it very quickly and very shortly I would say that
19:42
it's to focus on yourself and to come become the best version of yourself and
19:47
I I know people kind of say quite flippantly,
19:50
oh, well, how can someone love you if you don't love yourself?
19:54
It's not just, well, learn to love yourself.
19:56
I'm talking about learn to fall in love.
19:59
With life if you learn to fall in love
20:02
with life you will learn to appreciate the
20:05
everyday appreciate yourself be content
20:09
in the moment and with that kind of
20:12
can release some bitterness and fear and it really helps it does help you to
20:16
become the best version of yourself to attract in the love of your life so just
20:22
to refresh that this this step was about recommitment and making space for what still matters.
20:29
What can you do today? What steps can you commit to today to align yourself with your desire?
20:38
Have a think about that for a moment. You don't need a huge overhaul in your
20:42
life in one week. You just need aligned movement.
20:47
One simple step today to align yourself with your goal.
20:53
That's all. We're now talking about realignment.
20:58
And this is like simple, soulful steps to realignment.
21:03
So we're going to talk about how you can realign yourself for the rest of the year.
21:07
I've told you, you've got six months, guys. You have got ages.
21:11
The summer is not even here yet. Sun's only just starting to come out.
21:15
We've got six whole months, guys, six whole months to attract your goals,
21:22
to make steps towards achieving your goals, to attracting your goals.
21:28
And we're talking about realignment for the rest of the year without burnout, shame or a 37 step plan.
21:36
This is really simple realignment.
21:39
Step one is to create a still to come list. We are not talking to-do lists,
21:47
although I do love a to-do list.
21:49
We are not talking a to-do list. We are talking a to-be list, a still-to-come list.
21:55
So for example, still to come, I become the confident business owner.
22:03
Still to come, I feel strong, vibrant and sexy in my skin.
22:08
Still to come, I move into my dream home.
22:14
Still to come, I meet someone who's aligned with my growth.
22:19
So what I want you to do is think about it and write a list, write a to-be list.
22:26
What do you want to be?
22:28
Who do you want to embody for this next six months, for the second part of the year?
22:33
You're still to-come list, you're still to-be list.
22:37
I am a confident business owner. I feel strong and vibrant and sexy in my new
22:43
body, not new body, in my own skin.
22:46
I move into my dream home. Whatever it is that you want to be,
22:52
write those onto your list and it's a still to come or a to be list.
22:59
Write it down, speak it aloud and the best bit, as you all know with manifesting,
23:06
the most important bit is to believe it.
23:09
So if you want to write that one sentence down or a few sentences down about
23:14
what you want to become and who you want to become, then write those down.
23:19
Maybe keep it somewhere, but you've activated it by writing it down.
23:23
You're going to speak it aloud.
23:25
Keep it on you if you want. Keep it in your bag. Keep it in your pocket.
23:28
Maybe speak it before you go to bedtime but most importantly make sure you believe it.
23:36
Step two is to theme your next
23:39
chapter oh this is a bit of romanticizing give your next chapter this next six
23:45
months and pick a word for this chapter you're going to create a theme for your
23:50
chapter something that becomes your anchor when things are getting messy, especially.
23:57
So for example, I think I've spoken about this on another episode of the podcast,
24:02
but it's about picking a word.
24:05
What is your word for the rest of the year?
24:09
What do you want to become? What is going to be your motto?
24:14
It's not quite a motto. It's just a word.
24:17
What is your word? So I'll give you some examples. maybe
24:21
your word could be powerful and this
24:25
could be for the person that is stepping into their
24:28
new business stepping into entrepreneurship
24:32
powerful maybe your
24:35
word is free and maybe
24:38
that's for the person that wants to leave their current job their nine till
24:41
five where they feel stuck where they feel stale maybe it's for the person that
24:46
is ready to let go of their ex-partner or let go of the person that they're
24:52
in a situation ship which is never going to be a forever ship.
24:56
Free. Think of yourself as free. Maybe that's your word.
25:02
Magnetic. And maybe this is for the person who is the one calling in love or
25:10
maybe calling in new clients or calling in new work opportunities.
25:18
Magnetic. You are attracting in all of the good things that you want to attract in.
25:24
New clients for your side hustle.
25:27
Money that comes from your clients for your side hustle. You are magnetic.
25:33
People want to book you. People want to date you. Who doesn't want to be magnetic?
25:39
Maybe your word is peaceful. Maybe it's peaceful.
25:44
And maybe this is for the person listening to the podcast who is going through some sort of healing.
25:50
Maybe you've had a breakup breakups suck breakups make you they leave you feeling,
25:59
not yourself a shadow of your former self most of us have been through through
26:05
a breakup at some point in our lives and it is the worst feeling and if you
26:09
are going for a breakup now I want to let you know that this feeling will not last forever.
26:18
This feeling might propel you onto something or someone absolutely amazing.
26:25
So maybe peaceful is your word for the one that's healing, the one that's been
26:31
in pain, perhaps you've been in grief, or for the person that needs to slow down.
26:37
Maybe you're approaching or you feel like you're in burnout.
26:41
I know so many people who are beyond busy at the moment, beyond busy.
26:48
And maybe this word is for you, peaceful.
26:52
So think of your word, think of your June word, think of your rest of the 2025
26:58
word, whatever it is, whatever your main desire is, think of your word.
27:05
And I want you to think of that word often and tell yourself, I am powerful. I am free.
27:12
I am magnetic. I am peaceful.
27:14
Maybe write your word down on a post-it note. Maybe pop it next to your bed.
27:19
Write it on a beautiful piece of paper.
27:22
Pop it under your pillow. Maybe record it on a voice note. Play it.
27:26
Magnetic, powerful, free. Whatever you want to do, I just want you to absolutely
27:32
surround yourself with your word for the year, become it, embody it,
27:39
believe it, be it, eat it, drink it, move it, whatever you want to do,
27:44
what is your word? And in fact.
27:47
What is your word? Do you know what your word is yet? You may need to go off and think about it.
27:53
When you know what your word is, can you do me a favor and maybe drop me a DM
27:57
and let me know what your word is.
28:00
I love receiving your messages about your manifesting journeys,
28:05
your messages about listening to the podcast and trying some of the techniques
28:09
and having amazing experiences. So please let me know what your word is.
28:14
I'm on Instagram at thehollyedwards and at the dot manifestation station. So what's your word?
28:22
So step three in our June reassessment, realignment, reconnection episode,
28:30
step three is devotional habits.
28:34
This is about, I love this one, this is about, it's not about perfection, it's about devotion.
28:42
So for example, it's just, I say this to a lot of my one-to-one manifesting clients.
28:48
It's about just getting started.
28:52
Just start. Whatever it is you want to do, just start.
28:57
Start in the messiness. Start in the craziness.
29:00
Start if you haven't got it all figured out. In fact, once you start,
29:04
you'll find that your path will slowly unravel.
29:09
Your path will become more visible.
29:11
Your path will become clearer.
29:13
And I think it's really important it's not perfection it's devotion for example
29:19
if you are starting a new business or a new side hustle again a lot of my clients
29:23
at the moment they're starting their own businesses they want to see it thrive
29:27
and in fact they are doing fabulously well with it and manifesting their desires but.
29:32
If you've got a new business, maybe it's not perfection, it's just starting.
29:37
Just post on your Instagram. Post about what you're up to. Post something about your business.
29:44
Get in front of the camera if you feel brave enough. Post something that aligns with your business.
29:49
Maybe start every Monday by planning your content for social media.
29:54
If you are looking to improve your fitness, just get going.
30:00
Put your dirty old trainers down if you
30:03
haven't got the right running shoes it doesn't matter just start
30:07
if it's raining just start just stop going around the block pick yourself a
30:13
playlist that makes you want to move maybe it's your mindset how does your mindset
30:19
feel right now do you want to improve your mindset maybe journal each night
30:23
on what your future holds what you want from your future?
30:27
What do you give thanks for, for your future self?
30:31
Start journaling. Maybe you've bought yourself a new journal.
30:35
Dust that journal off, put it next to your bed and start journaling.
30:39
If you are looking for a career change, maybe start listening to a growth podcast
30:46
every commute, just something inspiring and aligned with your vision.
30:51
Now, for me personally, I say this all the time.
30:55
And I actually think it is one of the biggest things I have learned myself on
31:00
my manifesting journey.
31:02
And it's about starting in the messiness.
31:05
And I actually think looking back in hindsight as well, there's something really
31:10
imperfectly beautiful about it, if that makes sense.
31:14
It's starting in the chaos. So for example, for me, I'm writing my manifesting
31:20
book. I just had to start.
31:22
I didn't know where to start. I didn't have a clue where to start.
31:25
I didn't know how to write a book. I like writing, but I just thought I just needed to start.
31:29
I started and I thought, I've got no idea where this is going.
31:33
Honestly, that's what I felt. First of all, I know about manifesting.
31:36
I'm a manifesting coach, but I thought, where do I start? And I just started.
31:40
When I started, it became a bit clearer. So I changed my direction.
31:44
I had more direction. even more recently I'm
31:47
about three quarters of the way through writing and finishing
31:50
my manifesting book and even now sometimes I'm like I'm more clear now like
31:56
today something happened when I'm writing and I was like oh okay that makes
32:00
sense it's not changing direction but it kind of goes it just becomes a bit
32:03
clearer with what I'm doing and something the best the best example that I.
32:12
What I realized is that if I'm writing my manifesting book and I would love
32:17
Penguin to publish it, so if anyone has a link with Penguin,
32:22
you are my desire to get published by Penguin.
32:25
So I thought if I approach a publisher and I give them my manuscript or I write
32:31
to them and say, can I read you a chapter of my book?
32:34
And I'm trying to pitch the idea of publishing my manifesting book,
32:37
I kind of thought, well, how are they able to know if my book is going to be
32:42
any good other than reading it, which apparently a lot of publishers don't.
32:46
In fact, you can't even really send your manuscript to a publisher.
32:50
But anyway, that's another story. But I thought, well, if they say,
32:54
okay, well, how do we know you're any good?
32:56
Where can we see your stuff? What do you do?
32:59
I thought, well, hold on a minute. I need something to back it up. I
33:02
need to maybe get a following of people that understand that
33:05
when I'm talking about manifesting maybe I inspire
33:09
them and I really hope I do I really hope I
33:11
do I know there definitely are some of you who write to me your lovely lovely
33:15
messages saying you feel inspired you feel like your mood has changed when you
33:20
listen to the podcast that is why I'm doing it but it also made sense that I
33:24
thought well hold on if I want to get this publishing deal with Penguin hello
33:28
Penguin, then what have I got to back it?
33:31
Let me start getting my podcast out there. I can get my podcast out.
33:35
Now, what this leads back to is starting in the messiness.
33:38
I was not a podcaster just over a year ago. I had never done a podcast.
33:43
I'd never been a guest on a podcast.
33:46
I didn't know how to launch a podcast. I didn't know what to call my podcast.
33:50
I didn't know how to create artwork for my podcast.
33:54
I didn't know how to use a microphone for a podcast. But you know what I did?
33:57
I purchased a microphone.
33:59
I did a bit of Googling. I got the software and I just started.
34:05
And the very first episode I did, the hit that I was using, the company that
34:10
I was using to record the podcast on was terrible when it came to editing.
34:15
So I'd managed in the messiness to record my first podcast.
34:20
So I was kind of doing a little happy dance. Yes, I've done it.
34:24
I've called it a podcaster. Does that mean I'm a podcaster yet?
34:27
Well, I hadn't uploaded it yet, so not quite. And I tried to edit it.
34:31
And the, I mean, when I think now of me trying to edit it, I almost gave up
34:38
because the system that I was using, the software that I was using was terrible.
34:42
And I didn't know it was terrible because I just thought this is what podcasting software was like.
34:47
And I couldn't edit it no matter how hard I tried. So you know what I did?
34:51
I just uploaded it. And I thought.
34:53
I'm just going to upload it because it's me in, you know, in the rawest,
34:58
most organic form. And I still do that now.
35:01
I make slip ups. I might stutter. And that's fine because I'm like,
35:04
do you know what? You guys get the real me.
35:06
I'm a real person. This is what I always say with the manifesting.
35:09
It's not about perfection. It's just about consistency. It's about devotion.
35:14
It's about passion. And that's what I was doing. So I started in the messiness.
35:19
I delivered a podcast, which I can't even remember now much about what it was about or how it sounded.
35:25
I'm sure, I hope they sound a bit more slick now, but who cares?
35:30
The content is in there and it's still me.
35:33
And I'm sure I was a lot more nervous when I was recording the podcast.
35:37
So, you know, I was very out of my comfort zone, but you know what?
35:42
I did it. I did it in the messiness.
35:44
I delivered the first podcast, I then had the hassle, I say hassle,
35:48
I'm not going to say hassle, I'm going to reframe that.
35:50
I then had the task of uploading it to Spotify, to uploading it to Apple,
35:56
to uploading it to YouTube, to Amazon.
35:59
And that was also a learning curve. And that was a pickle. And then I was out
36:03
of my comfort zone again.
36:04
But the podcast launched just over a year ago. And it was funny,
36:10
because I think my first episode...
36:13
I think when I first launched it, that first week, I think it had 17 listeners
36:18
and I thought, well, that's fine.
36:19
And the reason I'm saying this to you is one, I'd like to share my journey with you.
36:24
But two, I want you to realize and really see from people's own stories that
36:30
it's consistency and it's passion and devotion rather than perfection that gets you results.
36:36
So I think, like I said, that first podcast, my first episode had 17 listeners.
36:40
So I'm building those listeners.
36:43
And I actually have around 7,000, I think, on the last episode of listeners in the first week.
36:48
So that just shows what that progress has done.
36:52
That shows that just starting in the messiness, it will become clear.
36:56
It will become more aligned with you as time goes on.
37:00
So step four is to have a mid-year manifesting day.
37:04
Oh, I love nothing more than a gorgeous old manifesting day.
37:09
I get together with friends, I get together with my sisters,
37:12
I get together with my mum, whoever it is, I go, oh, should we have a manifesting day?
37:17
Maybe we go out to a cafe, we take our notebooks, we take our pens.
37:21
Sometimes I go to, I'm a member of a farm that's got a pool and sometimes I
37:25
go there and I say, let's have a manifesting day.
37:28
This step is to invite you to a mid-year manifesting day.
37:33
Not with me, but you can listen to my podcast at the same time.
37:36
This is to invite yourself to a mid-year manifesting
37:39
day so I want you to light a candle get some
37:43
mood lighting going maybe put a diffuser on with
37:45
a lovely scent get cozy set the
37:49
vibe set the tone and I want you to ask yourself what do you want to experience
37:55
this year what do you want to experience this year who do you want to become
38:01
in December who do you want to be when December becomes.
38:07
What am I no longer tolerating and what am I leaving behind in the first part of the year?
38:13
Make it special, get your journal out, make some notes and let it be your energetic reset.
38:21
So if you can do that in the next week, give yourself this energetic reset,
38:27
this manifesting day, make it lovely, get snacks,
38:30
put your favorite film on in the background, make a
38:33
playlist play a calming soothing playlist or
38:36
an uplifting manifesting playlist however you
38:39
want to do it set the tone and let it be your energetic reset so part five June
38:46
energy you are just getting started I want to remind you that June is not the
38:53
end it is just the middle it is the middle of 2025.
38:58
It is not too late. It's actually the perfect time.
39:04
So let me say this with love.
39:07
You still have time to launch your business.
39:11
You still have time to launch that offer. Even if you've delayed it five times
39:17
already, you still have time.
39:20
You still have time to get in shape. You still have time to get fit.
39:27
You still have time to start eating a little healthier.
39:32
You still have time to start drinking a little bit more water.
39:36
Even if you haven't worked out since Easter, you still have time.
39:42
You still have time to apply for a new job.
39:45
You still have time to leave your toxic relationship.
39:49
You still have time to build your dream.
39:54
Your manifestations do not run on calendar's timeline. They run on your energy.
40:02
Your manifestations are running on your energy.
40:06
And one of the biggest things I think to remember is that one aligned month
40:13
can change your entire year.
40:15
So it's not about 2025 having been consistent the whole year because sometimes
40:21
consistency and sometimes growth on a graph looks like it peaks and it goes
40:27
down and it goes up and then it goes down and then it flutters a bit.
40:31
One aligned month can change your year. So if you're feeling motivated this week,
40:36
if you're feeling motivated after this podcast, maybe this
40:39
is your week or your month that you go this is
40:42
going to be my change for the year and that could be your achievement that
40:45
can attract in your goals one aligned month can change
40:49
your entire year so I just want you to breathe into that for a moment so let's
40:55
close this episode with a ritual so I want you to put your hand on your heart
41:01
and I want you to breathe in hand on your heart and breathe in.
41:07
And I want you to say this with me.
41:10
I honour how far I've come.
41:13
I honour how far I've come. I release what no longer serves me.
41:19
I release what no longer serves me.
41:22
I'm open to everything still unfolding.
41:26
I'm open to everything still unfolding.
41:30
Now imagine you the future
41:33
version of you imagine yourself in December she's
41:37
stronger she's braver she's clearer I'm saying
41:40
she if you're not a she if you're a they a he it's mainly women that listen
41:45
to my podcast but not only I'm saying it's a she because I'm a she she's stronger
41:49
she's braver she's clearer you're smiling because you kept going you said yes
41:55
to your desires and you didn't give up.
42:00
Let June be the turning point.
42:03
June is the start of your journey. June is the first chapter of the second part of the year.
42:10
So that's it, guys. I want to thank you so much for being here.
42:14
I don't know about you, but I feel quite uplifted. I think you can get to June
42:18
and feel a bit demotivated and think, oh, God, I didn't achieve everything that
42:22
I wanted to achieve. I haven't done that thing yet.
42:25
Have you stuck to your New Year's resolutions?
42:27

42:30
just want you to thank I want to thank
42:33

42:36

42:39

42:42
not behind you are just becoming you
42:45
are just starting so if
42:49
this episode has given you a nudge please share
42:52
it with a friend please share it with a loved one think
42:56
sometimes we all just need that little bit of motivation don't
42:59
we and I think just sharing that
43:02
little bit of light and a lovely little podcast
43:05
I have friends that share podcasts with me and I've
43:08
just listened to one actually I went around the block and I
43:11
listened to a podcast and I haven't been listening to many
43:14
manifesting type ones recently because I'm so busy with
43:16
my podcast I don't really listen to my podcasts either but I listened to a manifesting
43:22
one and I thought wow that gave me a real boost so if there's someone you care
43:27
about and maybe they need to get a little nudge or you'll feel like they only
43:32
enjoy the podcast, please send it to them.
43:35
Let me know what your mid-year word is or your intention or your dream for 2025.
43:40
Let me know who the December version of you is. I'm desperate to know.
43:44
Remember, you've still got time, so much time. And just remember,
43:49
