You Attract What You Believe You Already Are
Rooms that once spiked your nerves can become places where your work shines, if you decide to belong before you arrive. This conversation dives into the inner pivot that turned a daunting Rare Melbourne 2025 signing into my most aligned, high-impact event yet, across connection, presence, and sales. By choosing the energy of “I am the one.”
We unpack the real mechanics of that shift: catching comparison before it snowballs, moving from external validation to clean self-approval, and protecting the signal of a fresh idea so it doesn’t get cut by polling for permission. I share the practices that grounded me gratitude while packing pre-orders, mirror work, simple affirmations, and nervous system check-ins and how those choices changed my posture, my pace, and the way readers found me. Instead of scanning the room for proof, I stood in the work. The result was easeful conversations, aligned opportunities, and the strongest signing I’ve had to date.
You’ll hear why creating from intuition beats trend-chasing, how to translate inner certainty into visible magnetism, and what integration looks like after a big event so you don’t crash. If you need evidence that mindset becomes matter, consider this your field note: you attract what you believe you already are. Ready to anchor it? Steal the journal prompts at the end and make one clean decision today without polling anyone. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a writer who needs a lift, and leave a quick review to help more creatives find these tools.

Hello and welcome back to another chapter of the Daring Author podcast. Now, today I'm gonna talk about the energy of the one and what signing at Rare Melbourne 2025 taught me about receiving and being in this energy of the one. So I'm gonna do a little bit of like before the background, doing a bit of backstory, I should say. So before Rare, I really felt I've been on a journey over the past oh my gosh, like at least two years, even more, on personal development, growing myself, really connecting with myself more, learning about more about who I am, what I'm here to do, my soul work. And you might have noticed that in these episodes and the way that I am changing and evolving and what I'm learning and growing and all of it. And I've had lots of people come up to me or messages or anything like that, and seeing and receiving everything that I am putting forward in that, and it has been a journey. And before rare, I really felt a few little old patterns creeping in a little bit of a comparison, pressure, not enoughness, which is totally valid coming into a big book signing. It can be so daunting, feeling like, oh my god, there's gonna be so many people. It takes a lot out of us as writers being front and center, being behind the seat, having all of our books on display and being there, smiling, energy is on, people are watching you. There's a lot of things that can creep in when it comes to that. But I really caught this. I'm so quick these days to catch these thoughts and really be curious about them. I'm like, okay, what's what's happening? I'm listening, I'm hearing this human part of me, the ego that wants to, yeah, let me know what's happening. I'm listening and I'm journaling and I'm doing all of my things, and I caught it. And what I really decided to flip the switch on this is I'm not waiting to become her. I am gonna be her now. And this is where the energy shift, the internal shift of the one. Now, you've heard me talk about the one before in another episode, and what it really means to me is really the energy of your higher self. It's the confidence, it's the magnetism, it's that energy that I am the one. And if we look at like offer affirmations, it is like I am the one. And if you're listening to this, like you are the one too. Every single person is the one, you are the one. And when you say this and when you tap into this and say, I am the one, I tell you the feeling that you feel when you anchor this feeling into your body, into your nervous system through journaling, affirmations, mirror work, all of it, it is it is everything. Like, and I don't say that lightly, like the confidence the that you step into when you are I am the one, it is everything. And I nearly get in tears when I talk about this because of the impact that it has had on me every time that I second guess myself, or I go outside of myself for validation or approval or checking with somebody else. Is this the right move? It you know, what do you think of this cover? What do you think of this book title? What do you like? Always going outside of myself for approval for validation. And now it's very much a lot of work that I'm doing is being my own approval, is having confidence in my answers, in what do I think of this, and being like, yes, no, do I want this opportunity? Yes, no, just and I'm going back to like that one energy really helps anchor this for me, and it is everything, and I want that for you too. Like, I anyone that is listening and tapping into that, like just the way that you move, the confidence that you have in yourself, there is nothing like that, and the way that you move, the way that you co-create, the way that you self-lead, that is a huge one. Like when you choose something moving, doing it, writing the book that's on your heart, not going out thinking, oh, is this trending right now? Is this right? Is this not? Because I tell you, when you step and move from that download of like a new idea and you get excited about it and all of that, if you were to go outside of yourself and ask and see for proof or anything like that, of like, oh, should I do this? Is this the right move? Sometimes you can then go against like it, it'll cut it'll cut that energy cord right in the middle, and it won't, then it won't feel good. Then you'll start second guessing, and then you'll be like, oh no, um, it's not the right time to write this, or oh no, it's not I shouldn't do this, or anything like that. If you feel the energy inside of you and it feels good and you want to move, move, build that, write that book that is on your heart, that just feels like coming alive. Like move with that, build that because that is gonna be the energy that you're putting in to the book is gonna be felt, is gonna be built on the more confidence you have. I am the one, I am the one, I am the one, the more that that translates in there. Now, see, get carried away a little bit there. So now we're gonna look at like actually tying this back to my experience at Rare Melbourne, an embodiment of the one. So it was very much from the moment I started packing pre-orders and just feeling in pure gratitude for every person that had ordered, for every person that had chosen me and my books, and me saying yes, because I'm the one. Yes, because I'm the one. And that, and I honestly, the week leading up to this signing, I was constantly in tears and awe and gratitude, and just the energy that I felt moving into it just was confidence and believing and just being so grateful to have this opportunity to be able to go to this book signing, to be around my readers, to be around other authors, friends, all of it. Like from the moment that I started packing pre-orders, I was just in this energy. From that moment to then packing for the book signing, I was just in awe. I was I was just present in all of it to then meeting up with my dad and setting up on the Friday, and him and me, you know, lugging all the books and doing the check-in and bringing in all the boxes and seeing people and then being in that energy of like, I am the one, I am here, I'm experiencing this. I am I why wouldn't I be here? Like, I am the one. That then from that to then the book signing, and I'll tell you, like the ripple effect of that, and me being in that, the energy then drew aligned readers that were there, conversations, opportunities. It was it was everything, like it was just like living a movie, living the story, being present, being here in awe of it, not sitting there with feeling really anxious and feeling comparison, comparing myself to my neighbor, comparing myself to an author across from me, seeing readers walk past and think, oh my god, they they're they're staring at me, they're thinking that my book's shit, or anything like that. Because I'll tell you, I've been there. I've thought those things. I have been there in a room full of readers and authors and feeling that like I totally get it. And you might be there too. And I I I know and I know how that feels like, and for but for them to switch that into like this energy of I am the one changed everything. The way that I walked, the way that I talked, the confidence that I had, and the the energetic match to people walking past, and then people talking to me about the books, and like just being there and being amongst it, like it it was everything, and I really think you attract what you believe you already are. Let me say that again. You attract what you believe you already are, and it's everything, like this. This is this embodiment of being and trusting, and that energy of I am the one, it will change everything. Like, and sharing this for you, like I want I want that for you, and for you to really listen to this and take it in and practice and just be so connected to yourself and the opportunity and whatever comes from it. Like, I tell you this as like evidence. If you need evidence, sometimes people need a little bit of evidence. Like, this was one of the best book signings I have ever done to date in the way that I felt, in the conversations, in the interactions, in the experience of it, and on top of that, in sales as well, in revenue, in the biggest amount of money I have made at a book signing to date. It was crazy. It was amazing, it was beautiful. And then anchoring that in afterwards and allowing myself time and space and gratitude and rest and recovery because I know how much when you are on and you're around a lot of people, there's so much energy moving around, there is so much happening, and really anchoring yourself in that. And I really want to say that I really want to end this by saying you don't become the one when the world sees you that way, you become her the moment you desire decide you already are. And I want to end this with a question to take this, journal it, however you want to express it. What would you change if you showed up today as the one? How would you move? How would you act? How would you speak? How would you express? And that's what I'm gonna leave with leave you with today.
