The Perfect Job After Passing Three Tests
Are you currently a Pathway Member?: Yes
What was on your manifestation list?: Manifesting my dream job post-grad school list:
1) Curatorial Role at either a museum or for-profit company
2) Position must pay 45k or above with excellent benefits
3) Must support Diversity Equity and Inclusion and have a diverse staff
4) Must have opportunities for growth where I am able to develop my curatorial career
5) Located in Denver with access to public transport
What workshops did you use and what blocks did you discover during the DIs & workshops?: Workshops I used:
Unblocked Inner Child
Unblocked Shadow
Unblocked Full Moon
Unblocked Money
DRE - Reinforcing Grace and Confidence
Blocks:
Shame around student loan debt, worried that I am not talented enough to be a curator, and fear of failure.
What expanders did you find?: I found a few expanders in the art world.
Complete Expanders: Famous Curators Naomi Beckwith, Thelma Golden, Famous Collector Pamela Joyner
Fragment Expanders: Former Curatorial Supervisors Berit Ness and Leslie Wilson
Two of my famous expanders attended a virtual talk I gave at the Art Institute (this was total kismet!)
What tests did you face? Which did you pass? Not pass?: Tests around job offers that were not aligned with my goals or list at all—tests in my relationship with transparency. I would say that I passed them, I rejected an offer from the job I did not want and passed the test with my partner by telling the truth and being more vulnerable.
Starting in February of 2021, I started working through Unblocked Money. In that time, I worked through shame around student loan debt and was able to share the truth with my partner. To my surprise, he was incredibly accepting, and we now have full transparency with our finances. Love and Money are definitely connected friends; prior to this workshop, I felt like Money was a huge awkward place for us. We are now in a good place, and around the end of February, I started to get callbacks for job interviews.
The tests came around my 27th birthday in March. My mom was visiting the same week. I had an interview with a ministry job I did not want and was not even remotely aligned with my career goals or salary requirements. I was distraught for about a week, anxious about turning it down, worried another opportunity wouldn't come through. I did the Reinforcing Grace and Confidence DRE a lot during this period and proceeded to do it before each job interview.
Once I turned that offer down. TWO DAYS later, I had another interview offer come through for the perfect position, except it was going to require me to relocate and not be close to my family. Long story short, I am about to email this job to decline my third-round interview.
Did you experience a magic dark period? If so, tell us about it.: I would say my test and magic dark period were combined.
How did your manifestation come through?: A few days after my second interview with the relocation job. The COO of the company I will now work for reached out and asked me to apply for the perfect role. She said it would be a good fit, and I wholeheartedly agreed. I've had my eye on this company since I moved and really wanted to work there. Needless to say, the whole process from the initial invitation to the contract signed has taken ten days. I was able to negotiate my salary and benefits and am ultimately in the best place I could possibly be.
How long did it take for your manifestation to come through after crafting your initial list?: 9 months
How frequently were you using the workshops and DI's when you noticed the biggest shift surrounding your manifestation?: 3 times per week

What is your cultural upbringing and background?: I am a Black Woman who grew up in Southern California. I attended a private Christian school, private liberal arts college, and graduate school. I was raised by a single Black mother who has a career as a non-profit executive. I grew up in the evangelical Church on one side of my family and had formative experiences with New Age spiritual practices and the Nation of Islam. By the time I finished college I vaguely identified as Christian and attended Agape Spiritual Center. I am now a member of the Christian Church Disciples of Christ ( a small progressive protestant denomination) and will be an ordained minister in the next year or so.
