495: POPULAR EPISODE: How To Manifest Anything You Want | Lacy Phillips
This week, we’re continuing our look back at the most popular episodes of the show EVER.This time, it’s the second most downloaded episode ever and it’s a deep-dive into the life-changing magic of manifesting.In this conversation, Lacy Phillips takes all our outdated beliefs about manifestation, debunks them, and reveals the pieces of the process we’ve been missing. Along the way, she shares her unique and reliable formula for calling in your soul’s deepest desires and making them your reality. One of the reasons I think this episode was so insanely popular is how unique Lacy’s approach to manifesting is. The difference between her approach and the usual stock-standard technique is truly like chalk and (activated cashew) cheese. Instead of the usual edicts to “think positive and visualize!", Lacy is all about helping you connect back with your authentic self and dismantle the societal programming, labels, and molds that don't align with your true nature. (And spoiler alert: it’s these extra steps that turbocharge your manifesting and turn you into a magnet for your desires.)So if you want to rewire your limiting beliefs, manifest *exactly* what you want, and create abundance in all areas of your life, don’t waste another minute: pop in those earbuds and press play! Whether it’s your first time listening to this epic conversation, or whether it’s a re-listen, you’re sure to glean amazing insights and strategies that can quite literally change your life.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/495 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosini Hosted on Acast.
