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
The Universe Is Your Friend
75. The Manifestation Mistake Majority Of People Make (Yes That Rhymed, No It Wasn't Intentional)
Oh hey there, welcome back to The Universe Is Your Friend Podcast.
Let me guess: you’re doing your manifestation rituals, saying your affirmations, watching your language, and maybe even visualizing like a queen… but deep down, your dream life still feels kind of far away. If you’ve ever wondered why manifestation feels inconsistent or slow — this episode is going to shift your whole perspective.
Today, we’re breaking down one of the biggest manifestation mistakes I see people make: separating their manifestation practice from the rest of their life. This subtle but powerful pattern is one of the sneakiest ways we self-sabotage — and it’s likely the exact reason you haven’t fully embodied your dream reality yet.
Here’s how it usually goes: you tell yourself “I’m manifesting money,” so you do a journaling task, say some affirmations, maybe even catch a few negative thoughts and reframe them. But then? You go back to your day. You mentally clock out of manifestation mode and step back into your old identity — the version of you who still feels broke, stuck, confused, doubtful, and detached from the reality she’s trying to create.
In this episode, I explain why that disconnection is such a manifestation killer and what it really means to align your entire lifestyle with your desires — not just your 10-minute routine.
We’ll talk about:
- Why manifestation is not a “task” you do — it’s who you are.
- The illusion of “activating” manifestation and how that keeps you stuck.
- How to stop going in and out of alignment without realizing it.
- Why your manifestation routine might be slowing you down.
- The difference between performing your desires and living them.
- How to create a slow but permanent identity shift that actually reflects the life you’re trying to call in.
You’ll also hear the hard truth (but a loving truth!) that you’re manifesting 24/7 — whether you’re aware of it or not. The Universe isn’t only listening when you’re doing your rituals. She’s listening to your words, your energy, your decisions, your inner beliefs, your patterns — all day long. If those things don’t reflect your desires consistently, that’s the misalignment. That’s why things aren’t clicking.
This episode is your reminder that manifestation isn’t something you earn or unlock after doing all the “right” things. It’s not about micromanaging your thoughts or obsessively watching what you say. It’s about becoming. Becoming the version of you who naturally aligns with the outcomes you want, even when you're not thinking about it.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated that you’re doing “all the right things” but your reality isn’t shifting… you NEED this episode. Because truthfully, this might be the exact shift you’ve been missing — and once you make it, your manifestations will feel closer, more natural, and more effortless than ever before.
