Doubling My Pay, $700 Jeans, & Unexpected Presents
Name: Samantha MW.
Where do you reside?: Los Angeles
What is your cultural upbringing and background?: Caucasian. I grew up in California and Japan in a middle-class family. My Dad worked in the tech industry (before it was called that!), and his job took us around the world, which really opened my mind to art, fashion, and the uniqueness and similarities of cultures.
Are you currently a Pathway Member?: Yes
What was on your manifestation list?: I had a specific ask for a job and multiple ridiculously expensive and hard-to-find materialistic things.
#1 I asked for a job with a clean skincare line in LA or the bridge job that I need to get me there. I asked for it to please pay more than I think I need to live comfortably during this crazy time, allow me to stay in LA but travel to NY and if it's not with a skincare line, let it be temporary.
#2 A very specific large sum of money at once
#2.1 Another very large sum of money at once
#3 two specific pairs of Chanel shoes
#4 a pair of $700 Johanna Ortiz jeans that had been sold out for two years
#5 a Jill Stuart Runway leather coat that I saw at her fashion show a few years ago, but it was never made - so there were only a few samples floating around out there.
#6 a $1500 Jaquemus skirt that had sold out a year ago
Fifteen months ago, I lost my job, moved out of my apartment in NYC, and moved back in with my family across the country due to Covid.
At this point, I had been following Lacy for four years and would do Unblocked Money every so often and found it always worked, so I decided to see what I could manifest while I was unemployed; my dream job and money were the priority. My side-gig is skincare (Esthetician), but my "real" job is in fashion marketing. I know that I want to work for a clean skincare line in LA, so I made my list asking the Universe to bring me a job in that category or the bridge job that I need to get me there. I asked to please let it pay more than I think I need to live comfortably during this crazy time, allow me to stay in LA but travel to NY and if it's not with a skincare line, let it be temporary. Then I figured, this list is already so over the top, why not put a bunch of fun, excessive materialistic things on it too. My life is 100% upside down; what could it hurt?
I made a list of the material things that I wanted but couldn't afford or knew would be near impossible to find. I intently focused on them, felt myself wearing them, then let it go. But, I'll admit, even though I did the same amount of intense focusing on the job situation, I immediately allowed myself to become frantic over not working. I relentlessly began applying to jobs (over 200) and trying to force my resume to fit entry-level job descriptions, paying significantly less than I had earned the year before. Well, I immediately started to manifest the crazy, unaffordable material items I was after.
There were quite a few, but a few big-ticket items were a sold-out pair of $700 jeans from two years ago, brand new for $40 and free shipping, a $1500 skirt for $60, and a suede coat that I saw in a fashion show, that was never produced (so only a few samples were floating around out there). After that happened, I decided to push it and found the two pairs of gazillion-dollar Chanel shoes that I wanted but would never buy. Both showed up in like-new condition for less than $100 each. I also had a relative give me the exact amount of money I had asked the Universe for, not as a loan, but as a gift for Christmas. Then the even larger sum of money that I had asked for came through!!!!
After manifesting all but one of the things on my materialistic list, I decided that I needed to go back and focus on the job situation instead of manifest-shopping. I began focusing on two of the skincare companies that I want to work for, but I still applied to jobs non-stop. That same week, I ended up winning the Instagram sweepstakes for one of the brands and having a friend randomly give me a product from the other! I was grateful for everything I was manifesting and seriously enjoying the craziness of it but didn't see how I was sabotaging finding a job by trying to control it so tightly.
Three weeks ago, I listened to Atarah and Gavin's podcast, was inspired, and then listened to every clip that Atarah had on the TBM website. It clicked; I needed to surrender, not apply to anything, and see what the Universe wants to send me. A week later, I got a call out of the blue to interview for a remote contract job (that I didn't apply for) at a luxury fashion company in NY that would pay double what I was making pre-Covid. I interviewed on a Thursday and found out on Friday that I got the job that checked off all of the boxes of my bridge job. I heart, Atarah!
Since then, I've had recruiters reach out to me for other jobs left and right! They aren't in skincare, so I am not going to apply to them.
I've learned to focus, surrender, and if it's meant for you, it will come.
What workshops did you use and what blocks did you discover during the DIs & workshops?: Unblocked Money, Unblocked Shadow, and Unblocked Inner Child. Once I started taking the Unblocked Flower remedy, I noticed my stress seemed to be melting away, and I could get back to a deep trance state when doing the DIs.
What expanders did you find?:
-A childhood friend that I hadn't spoken to in 35 years who was doing great in her career and life
-An acquaintance that has achieved everything that I want in my life
What tests did you face? Which did you pass? Not pass?: There were so many! One, in particular, was that I would interview with companies and become really upset if I didn't get the job even though I knew in my heart that it was not right for me at all. It would take me a few days to get out of my funk, and then I would be able to clearly see why.
Did you experience a magic dark period? If so, tell us about it.: Yes! I was manifesting everything on my fun shopping manifest list and had finished the last interview for a job that I was sure I was getting. I had been in constant contact with the recruiter for months and then crickets. I became so stressed that I couldn't concentrate on anything, including the fun things I wanted to manifest. Nothing on my fun list was coming through, recruiters were not getting back to me, and I felt like I had hit rock bottom.
How did your manifestation come through?: I realized that I was getting so stressed out and letting myself spiral. And most importantly, not focusing on what I want only on what I didn't.
How long did it take for your manifestation to come through after crafting your initial list?: The material things came quickly. The first one came through after a few weeks, and they haven't stopped!
How frequently were you using the workshops and DI's when you noticed the biggest shift surrounding your manifestation?: every night
