The Universe Is Your Friend
An uplifting weekly podcast where we stop overthinking and start creating the life we actually want with the Universe by our side!
Hi! I’m Kristen Greenwood, your manifestation mentor, self-trust hype girl, and spiritual bestie with a side of tough love. Welcome to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast. I’m so glad you’re here.
This podcast was born from my own “what am I doing with my life?”
moments — working a job I hated, doubting every step I took, and feeling like everyone else had the manual to life except me. I always knew I was meant for more… I just had no idea how to start.
Now I’m figuring it out one step at a time and I’m bringing you with me.
Each week, you’ll get:
· Real talk about the Law of Attraction (minus the fluff)
· The rituals and mindset shifts that actually help
· Stories from my own journey - the wins, the wobbles, and the weird signs from the Universe
· Book recs, pep talks, and little nudges when you need them most
This podcast is your reminder that you can do big things - even if your life feels like chaos right now, even if you don’t have it all figured out, and even if you're still eating cereal for dinner some nights (bc same).
So grab your headphones and let’s manifest some magic, one Monday at a time.
And don’t forget... The Universe Is Your Best Freaking Friend <3

74. Present-Tensing: The Manifestation Trick That Silences Doubt Instantly
Oh heyyyy, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast!
Tell me, do you ever feel like the more you try to manifest something, the more your brain reminds you it hasn’t happened yet? Like every time you visualise your dream life or repeat affirmations, that little voice in the back of your head chimes in with “but it’s not real though”?
In this episode, I’m sharing a simple yet wildly powerful technique I use when I feel fear, doubt, or resistance around my desires. This is the same grounding practice I’ve used for years to stay calm in anxious moments—but when paired with a manifestation tool I call “present-tensing,” it becomes an absolute game-changer.
We’re diving into:
- What to do when your manifestation practices feel like they’re backfiring
- How to shut down the ego’s favorite doubts (like “it’s not here yet”)
- Why trying to manifest in the past or future might be keeping you stuck
- How to activate your subconscious mind by fully living in the now
- A new way to embody your desires without triggering disbelief
- A practice to instantly reconnect to safety, trust, and receiving mode
If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of trying to believe, trying to visualise, trying to affirm—but always feeling like your ego is dragging you back into “reality,” this is the technique that can help you bypass the mental noise and tap back into your power.
It’s gentle. It’s grounding. And it works fast.
P.S. You can do this for just 30 seconds a day and watch how quickly your doubts disappear!
