Expanded x Ep. 370 - Rewriting Your Patterns: How to Handle Tests with Self-Worth
Your test isn’t a punishment. It’s an invitation.
Are you being tested? Life is full of those frustrating moments—an unexpected bill, a toxic job dynamic, or an unaligned romantic suitor. This episode is your pick-me-up on how to navigate tests and what they really mean in manifestation terms. Lacy and Jessica share that tests aren’t here to punish us—they’re here to show if we’re truly ready for what we’re calling in. Each test reflects our subconscious self-worth, asking us to notice old patterns and choose differently this time. Through live channelings, grounded insights, and real-time examples, they walk you through the TBM approach to moving through life’s tests with clarity and power. Because your manifestations are already orbiting, and every test is the universe knocking to see if you’re ready to receive it.
LISTEN
In This Episode We Talk About:
Tests are growth checkpoints, not punishment
The universe matches your subconscious self-worth, not your conscious desires
“A test is just the universe knocking to see what you want to receive” —Lacy Phillips
Tests highlight inner looping—patterns you’re ready to outgrow
If you don’t pass a test, it will lovingly return until you’re ready
Expansion is the key to making new choices aligned with your highest self
Reframe “failing” a test as simply showing where more work is needed
Use the TBM protocol: Pause, Reframe, Review
External frustrations often mirror subconscious beliefs
Interruptions can be tests or reminders—like Lacy’s parenting moment mid-episode
Not all patterns can be unblocked alone—therapy (like EMDR) may be needed
The difference between standing up for yourself and walking away depends on your past pattern
Don’t put tests on a pedestal—stay grounded in your intuition
The collective shift through 2027 is creating space for new structures and ways of being
TBM’s book launch is breaking conventional structures—mirroring the energy of the episode
