Hello and welcome back to Worthy and Abundant. Happy Monday. Happy June. It's still the beginning of June. I've had an amazing weekend, actually. I had a really peaceful, joyful, abundant weekend. So I'm super happy. Full day Friday, took time for myself Friday night. Saturday morning, decided to take more time for myself, protecting my energy, enjoying the morning, the pool, coffee, a slow morning. And then Saturday evening I went out of my comfort zone and did something unusual, but it inspired me to create something. So that's exciting. And that's in the baby stages, so I'm not gonna share right now. And then Sunday I worked out and then met my girlfriend for her belated birthday, and that was expansive, fun, peaceful, and joyful. And we were present with each other, and we did an art thing together, and then we got sushi, and I bought her a couple gifts and these beautiful cupcakes, and it was just a really nice afternoon and evening. And then I took Lucky to the park and we had our evening together, and it was just a wonderful weekend. So today I want to talk about how everyone wants to manifest their dream life, which I'm actually pretty much living my dream life. It's expanding though, and it's becoming more abundant and more beautiful and more expansive and more phenomenal. It's all about the journey. Let's be real here. All the philosophical and spiritual texts talks about it's really the journey everybody talks about. We have to enjoy the journey, guys. But let's talk about manifesting because that's what I want to talk about on this podcast this morning. Everyone wants to manifest their dream life: more love, more joy, more abundance, more peace, more purpose. But most people skip the first step. They go straight into the vision boards and the affirmations while still feeling unworthy underneath it all. The first step to manifest the life you desire is becoming aware of how you currently feel about you and what you believe you're worthy of receiving. Manifestation is not about attracting things externally, the law of attraction. It is true, like attracts like, but it's becoming the version of you who believe she's worthy of receiving them. That's why the podcast is called Worthy and Abundant. And that's why I teach worthiness because it's really the core beneath it all. So because so many people are trying to manifest externally while internally they're doubting themselves, they're living in survival. That was me, right? Settling, abandoning themselves, people pleasing, ignoring their own desires and wants, not even knowing what their desires and wants are, and believing they're either too much or not enough. Because our identity shapes our reality. Sabotage opportunities without even realizing it. But when you begin remembering who you truly are, that you're powerful, that you're worthy, that you're a loving being, that you're abundant and beautiful and capable, your entire life begins to shift. Not because you became somebody new, it's because you stopped abandoning who you already are at your core. The most magnetic people are not proving themselves, they know who they are, and that energy changes everything. So the beginning stages of manifesting your dream life is about awareness and self-honesty. Okay. So if you're not aware of how you feel about yourself, if you're not aware of these un underneath conditioned beliefs, it's going to be very difficult. So, questions to ask yourself: what do I truly desire? Where am I settling? What am I tolerating in my life right now? What negative stories that are not serving me do I have on repeat? And do I actually believe I'm worthy of the life I want? Do I actually believe I'm worthy of millions of dollars, a life where I can travel, a life where I can serve and support others and have the best, most abundant life where I can attract the partner that I want that's kind, loving, and spiritual and smart and successful and fun and respectful and all the wonderful things? Do I believe it's possible? Because that's the truth. We have to go deep within and actually understand. Do we know that we are worthy of the life we desire? And am I living from fear or am I living in alignment? I changed my entire life four years ago, April. I moved across the country to Florida with my dog. I didn't have certainty. I started this podcast in the fall of that year, 2022. I didn't have certainty. I took actions, inspired aligned actions for my life. I didn't sit around waiting, pretending to be positive. I worked on my positivity for 30 years. I worked on my mindset for 30 years. But what I didn't do was recognize all of the emotions in the body, like the body keeps the score. I didn't realize how much trauma and unresolved trauma was in my body. So that's something that I've been working on for quite a while living here in Florida. And that's so powerful. And I'll talk more on another podcast about that. But truthfully, getting clear and knowing your worth and coming back to safety in your body and believing and taking actions and being open to receive. This is all part of the manifestation process. The life you desire begins the moment you stop abandoning yourself and start honoring what your soul has been trying to tell you. Manifestation is not about attracting external things, it's about becoming the version of you who believes she is worthy of receiving them. Your identity shapes your reality. So it's not about becoming someone new, it's about remembering who you are. And that is what I talk about at my workshops and on this podcast and in my coaching. And if this episode resonated with you and you're local to Sarasota or Lakewood Ranch, I would love to invite you to my live workshop tomorrow evening. We're going deeper into alignment and self-worth and manifestation and becoming of the version of you who is already receiving the life she truly desires.

This is just the beginning, and I wanted to come on today and give you a little inspiration and help you understand how to manifest your dream life. And it starts with your own thoughts and how you think about yourself. So you are worthy of a life that feels aligned and abundant and peaceful and true to you.
