Newfound Confidence in Manifesting & New Streams of Income
What is your cultural upbringing and background?: My parents are both first-generation immigrants, my father from Sicily and my mother from Cuba. My parents are still happily married (30 years!) and really created a beautiful life for my sisters and me.
Are you currently a Pathway Member?: Yes
What was on your manifestation list?: Income. Historically I have put super strict boundaries around the type and timing of an additional revenue stream, but participating in the Manifestation Challenge taught me to loosen those parameters. So amongst other things on my list, generating an unconventional income with EASE was at the top of my "list."
What workshops did you use and what blocks did you discover during the DIs & workshops?: I've been working through the Manifestation Challenge and Unblocked Inner Child. The ironic part is that I've been a Pathway member for a few months now and continued to avoid Unblocked Inner Child. At the risk of sounding ignorant, I didn't think I needed it. I was raised in a happy home where we were never "wealthy," but we also didn't go without having material needs met. The Manifestation Challenge encouraged me to dive into a foundational workshop which has led to the most transformative experience!
What tests did you face? Which did you pass? Not pass?: Continuing to make decisions from a place of lack.
Did you experience a magic dark period? If so, tell us about it.: My Magic Dark period before starting Unblocked Inner Child felt longgg (~6 months). It was motionless and increasingly frustrating until I realized the limitations I had put on my "list" and what I was calling in. Strict deadlines and even more constrictive terms of what I wanted to come through. It was until I started clearing space and really got honest with myself about the areas of my life that were still operating from a place of lack.
How did your manifestation come through?: My kids and I have been on government food assistance for almost two years, and I recently made the decision not to renew my benefits again. While I know this may seem wildly risky to some, I knew that the option to renew would be there if I chose, and my manifestation journey came to a point where I knew I needed to make a big move of trust. Receiving this assistance began to feel like a comfort zone and lack after being in a Magic Dark for so long.
Fast forward to now, it has been four weeks since I could have renewed, and I just received my first official paid brand deal as an influencer for the EXACT AMOUNT that I would have received in benefits. So while $500 may not be life-changing to some, I have proven to myself that I am worthy of earning income in an aligned way and supporting my family, working online, and continuing to be the hands-on parents I'd always dreamed of. I feel a newfound sense of confidence in my ability to manifest now, and I'm so excited to see what's next.
How long did it take for your manifestation to come through after crafting your initial list?: 5-6 weeks
How frequently were you using the workshops and DI's when you noticed the biggest shift surrounding your manifestation?: 5-7 times per week
How do you incorporate this work into your life on a daily basis? Any tips, tricks or recommendations for getting the most out of it, or personalizing it?: I wake up an hour before my kids in the morning. This is when I feel the most magnetic and able to "drop-in" the easiest. I've found that I don't get the same pings/downloads if I'm squeezing it in in the evenings. It feels best to carve out intentional time dedicated to this practice.
