Welcome back to Manifesting Your Sh*t – The Podcast!
I’m Lisa — your guide to mindset, nervous system regulation, and manifestation that actually works. No fluff — just science, soul, and the messy human truth of becoming your highest self.

In this episode, I’m diving deep into the sneaky energy that blocks more manifestations than any limiting belief ever could — control. I’m breaking down how trying to micromanage the universe is actually a trauma response in disguise, what’s happening inside your nervous system when you’re gripping the outcome, and how to shift back into embodied trust.

You’ll also hear how a simple new moon ritual led to a major life redirection — one that cracked me open but ultimately set me free.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why control is fear in motion — and how it disconnects you from your flow
  • The science behind why your nervous system craves certainty (and how to rewire that)
  • A gentle breathwork + visualization to release control and anchor into trust
  • How surrender doesn’t mean giving up — it means receiving differently

00:00–00:18 — Intro
“Manifesting Your Sht — science, a little woo, and a whole lot of soul.”*

00:18–00:53 — The quiet blocker
“Control is the frequency that keeps your manifestation away.”

00:53–01:21 — The GPS illusion
“We try to drive the universe like a GPS.”

01:21–02:12 — What control really is
“Spiritually: distrust. Psychologically: a safety strategy. Energetically: resistance.”

02:12–03:03 — Nervous system lens
“When the unknown = danger, we overplan, overanalyze, overperform.”

03:03–03:40 — No self-judgment
“You’re protecting yourself; the goal is safety, not shame.”

03:40–04:30 — Bridge metaphor
“The universe has a thousand unseen bridges.”

04:30–05:21 — The weight of control
“Carrying every possible outcome on your shoulders.”

05:21–06:13 — When redirection protects you
“It looked like a loss… then I saw the reroute.”

06:13–07:12 — Personal story: divorce → new life
“That redirection gave me a city, a career layer, and soul friends.”

07:12–09:12 — New-moon ritual → job ending
“Within five days, I was let go — and something opened.”

09:12–10:12 — Naming the knowing
“I’d outgrown a structure that couldn’t hold who I’m becoming.”

10:12–12:02 — Breath + visualization practice
“Hand to heart, hand to belly… I am safe to let go.”

12:02–13:05 — Embodied trust
“Not blind faith — regulated, calm, aligned action.”

13:05–13:40 — Thousand bridges reminder
