Anatomy Of An Icon
the conversations that shape our lives don’t always happen in boardrooms.
They happen in relationships.
In the quiet moments where we ask ourselves deeper questions.
In the parts of our identity we’ve been told to hide.
In the sexuality we’re told is too much.
I’ve spent years building companies, sitting in boardrooms, and helping entrepreneurs solve problems most people don’t even see yet.
Here we talk about business, manifestation, sexuality, magnetism, intuition, money, and the process of becoming someone new.
Some episodes are thoughtful.
Some are a little dangerous.
All of them are honest.
Take what resonates. Leave the rest.
New episodes weekly.
Anatomy Of An Icon
The 30-Day Manifestation Trick That Doesn’t Work
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Save this post. Repeat this mantra. Kiss the mirror. Day 31 millionaire.
We've all seen it. And something about it feels off.
In this episode, Antonia breaks down why the mirror mantra formula isn't the problem the energy behind it is. If you're saying the words but still grasping, hoping, and checking, you're actually pushing the thing further away.
There's a mismatch between what you're saying and what you're feeling, and that gap is what's causing the delay.
This episode covers the shoulder shrug energy, the flower bulb you don't dig up, quantum tunneling, and the plastic frog on a hotel welcome mat that showed up exactly when it was supposed to because she forgot she asked for it.
That's the whole point.
What do you want? And can you trust it's already on its way?
Trusting in the unseen. when I moved back to California two years ago, I kept hearing the words trust in the unseen. I left corporate America two years ago. You are listening to Anatomy of an Icon i'm Tonia Ann, and this is what it sounds like when two people stop performing and start sharing their truth. No scripts, no careful answers, just the conversation you weren't supposed to hear, but somehow were meant to because you found this. Everyone is, telling you to save this post, in 30 days you'll have the thing that you wanted, repeat it every day in front of the mirror for 30 days. Day 31, you'll have the thing that you were manifesting. In front of the mirror kiss it at the end of the day, and on day 31, you're a millionaire, or whatever thing you were wanting to manifest. I wonder how much of it is for the sake of the algorithm getting people to save their post et cetera, instead of using what works. It's not a formula, not a checklist, not a blueprint. That's where it becomes dangerous because we're following someone else's formula and blueprint. If 30 days worked for them and on day 31, they had the suitcase full of cash, whatever it is, but that was still their formula. There are things that happened beyond that and behind that, all of the books, even before Neville Goddard, there was Thomas Tr. Written in the 18 hundreds. Also, your Invisible Power by Genevieve Bertrand, they wrote about the frequency that yes, our mind is the center of all creation. However, what else is really happening in that? You know, all of the things to repeat. You've done the work. You've had the blips, these little wildfire, the things that jump we've, created the thing. There's a gap between what you want right now, what you desire, and what's showing up for you. That gap has a name, it's, mismatch and a misalignment. Doesn't matter how close we stand to the mirror, if we give it a kiss after we finish saying our mantra, if it's not landing underneath, we are delaying what we want we can say it out loud. We just have to be really careful of what is it that's happening behind that Mismatch or the beliefs behind it? When we want something, are we saying it with hope that it will finally come true? Because even if we're saying it with hope, there's a grasping and a closed fist. The energetic closed fist will cause a delay. We have to be careful when we say it with hope. Are we acknowledging more the thing that we don't have, or are you seeing it from a place where already feels true? The words are the same. But the energy behind them is everything. Your frequency, your energy behind it matters, and it's what'll move your manifesting, letting yourself feel it in every cell of your body, letting it feel good. It's not forced, not performing, not repeating it for the sake of repeating it. The repeating it. Is allowing it to become embodied in every cell of your body. Let it dance through your body. It's not a PDF or a checklist that someone sent you in a DM to download. Instead, check in. Are you feeling it in every cell of your body? Are you dancing with a desire? Does something in you saying, yes, that's the way it would feel if I already have the thing. That's the doing. That's the quote unquote work. The being. What are we being? When we are aligned, it feels less like work and it feels like more like that shoulder shrug energy is what I call it. The shoulder shrug energy. What I use a lot when I picture myself and I was writing this in my journal, writing it out, contemplating, I send out my desires. It's almost that I call it my shoulders shrug energy of I know it's coming to me. It's only a matter of when I don't need to keep taking a peek and seeing if it's on its way. Instead, I allow it with detachment. I get to trust. I trust that it's coming, even though I don't see it yet. Trusting in the unseen. If you and I plant flowers together, we're not going to continually to dig up the flower bulb every day to check to see its progress, to see if it has roots, see if it's going to bloom. Instead, we put it in the ground and trust what we've done is enough. Trust that it will happen even if it hasn't happened yet. It's happening. Even though it hasn't happened yet, we've planted it. We trust that it's going to bloom. It's planted, it turns into the thing. Same with our desires. When we plant our desires, we trust that it will turn into the thing. We plant it and it's on its way back to us. No anxiety, no checking, no counting the signs. However, there are signs that the universe can give us signs, and I call them the God winks, the little God winks things from the universe. I remember one of the times I went on vacation and the night before I had coached a mastermind. This was two, or probably three years ago by now. At the Mastermind I was coaching that evening with the women. I was talking with them about asking for signs. I said, you can ask for something completely random a frog or whatever, I used the example and I completely forgot about it, which is that shoulder shrug energy that I use. The next morning flew out to San Diego. When I left my hotel room, walking down through the hotel lobby doors slide open, and I looked down on the welcome mat. There's a plastic frog, a yellow and red plastic frog sitting in the middle of the welcome mat in the sunlight. I wasn't walking around everywhere. Asking for a frog. I wasn't checking the airport gift shop looking for a frog. Instead, I went about my day we let go of it and we get to see it show up for us. The other thing that happened on that particular vacation. The next morning one of the women from the mastermind sent me a text message and said, Hey, I want to work with you and buy a coaching package. She sent me the payment that day. I was on vacation, another sign that . We don't have to hustle, we don't have to grind. Instead, we can move through our day and we can. Make magic that way. It's magnetized. Our clients are magnetized to us. I did the work before on the back end sometimes I think people tell half of the story of go on vacation, but they don't share the night before. They did a mastermind with the women, so one of the women called me. To buy a coaching package. From that evening of 15 women, five of them reached out asking to coach with me. One of them even referred her sister, so it was six beautiful relationships that I was able to attract and magnetize because I wasn't grasping, but instead doing the things that felt great to me. We get to trust in the unseen. When I'm looking at the unseen, I'm not looking with my eyes. If you look at your bank account, and it's not the bank account balance that you desire it to be, can you look at it with complete detachment, the same way that you would notice a car pass by you on the street. With ease. Noticing it, not really noticing it. We're aware of it. However, there's no angst. Not good or bad, right or wrong. We observe it. We become the observer of the things in our life. Trust in the unseen, when I moved back to California two years ago, I kept hearing the words trust in the unseen. I left corporate America two years ago. I didn't have a crystal ball to show me the future, every detail would take place. Instead, keep hearing those words, keep relying on that. There are physical things you can do even in the midst of while we're trusting on the unseen and we're waiting and trusting that it's happening. Even if we tap on our collarbone and touching on our body and we say, I am safe right here, right now. I have everything I need. I am safe. I've got me. The universe has me, I am safe, You can slow down your breathing. Taking those deep inhales, long exhales, if it's not something that you can say out loud because you're at work. Even saying it and feeling it into our thoughts of I am safe. I have me, the universe has me. One of the things I want to invite you to do, instead of saving the posts, PDFs, and all the checklists and formulas that promise you, your manifestations will come on day 31. Start to unravel this. Take a peek at it. Are there any places that need to be realigned? Is there a place where there's a mismatch between what you're saying and what you're feeling? Because the mismatch can cause the delay in what we desire. When we clean up our alignment it can come quickly. It can come as quickly as we want. There's the quantum tunneling, when we look this up in science the atoms are on one side of what appears to be an obstacle that shouldn't be able to pass through, then it shows up on the other side of the obstacle. It's been proven in these scientific experiments, and it's called quantum tunneling. We get to use that in the way that we manifest where the atom appears. On the other side, we're not looking or focused on the obstacle. If you're looking at something like a bank account balance, that is not matching with your desire if your current reality is not matching. Instead, let's not look at the mountain in the middle. Look at what's on the other side of it. It can come as quickly as you allow it. It's why manifestation coaches talk about, oh quickly my income was 50 x. We trust that what is happening or what will happen is on the other side of it, it's coming for us. The invitation is can you trust that it will appear on the other side? Can you trust that you're feeling it with every cell of your body? How would you sit if you already had the thing? How would you breathe? What would you wear? What would your hair look like? What would your posture look like? Do this now. How would you take care of your car? What would your house look like? Would the dishes be washed and put away? The clothes, are they different? Would you dress like you would if you're going out for a hot date night, even if it's a date night for yourself? Do the things to connect you to the frequency and the feeling of what you desire. Sending you so much love and good energy your way. I am so grateful you found this audio and that it found you. I'll see you when I see you.
