Expanding My Beliefs & Starting Remote Work
What is your cultural upbringing and background?: Italian and Irish-American, grew up in an upper middle-class family in a suburban town
Are you currently a Pathway Member?: Yes
What was on your manifestation list?: A new remote job within marketing at a wellness-focused, mission-driven, B2C company, working for a female boss who is an expander and mentor and who is interested in helping me with my career progression. I also had on my list that it had to be reasonable hours to offer a good work-life balance, and have an excellent company culture that feels supportive and intimate.
I previously had been working for a very corporate company in an industry I did not care for, and my biggest goals were to transition into the wellness industry and get a fully remote role. I was honestly shocked that everything above came through in this new job. The only thing that did not come through from my list was the salary I wanted, which is why this is a semi-bridge job, but I haven’t gone through Unblocked Money yet, and I have a lot to work on in that department.
What workshops did you use and what blocks did you discover during the DIs & workshops?: I did Unblocked Shadow, Unblocked Inner Child, and How to Manifest. I uncovered that my biggest block is worthiness due to childhood programming from family and peers. Worthiness is tied to living a life that I love on my own terms that mirrors my authentic code.
If you did work with a coach or a few, who did you work with, in what capacity (Q/A service or Session(s)) and how did that contribute to your manifestation process?: N/A
What expanders did you find?: Close friends that had remote jobs that they loved, friends that had successfully transitioned into industries they are passionate about, public figures who embody self-confidence and self-love and really focus on living life authentically and not for other people - including Arielle Charnas and Melissa Wood Tepperberg.
What tests did you face? Which did you pass? Not pass?: I passed a lot of tests. The biggest ones I passed were recruiters reaching out to me about fully remote jobs that were high paying but not at the type of company/industry I was interested in. I have also valued money over happiness in terms of career in the past, so that was a really big uplevel for me. I passed another around an opportunity at a wellness-focused company, but they wanted me to do a job I was not interested in and had settled for in the past. Another test was a recruiter reaching out to me about a job that had certain appealing aspects, but I knew in my gut it was not an overall fit, so I declined to pursue it.
Did you experience a magic dark period? If so, tell us about it.: No, I didn’t
How did your manifestation come through?: I applied for the role through LinkedIn and was contacted by the hiring manager to schedule my first interview three weeks later. The interview process went really smoothly and was very seamless in the three rounds, and I was offered the role two business days after my last interview!
How long did it take for your manifestation to come through after crafting your initial list?: It took three and a half months for my manifestation to come through.
How frequently were you using the workshops and DI's when you noticed the biggest shift surrounding your manifestation?: I was doing DIs/workshops on average four times per week, ranging from 3 to 6
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 listened to the Expanded podcast each week and have listened to almost every episode at this point. I did end up completing some of the DIs on my commute to work, and I still felt like I was able to benefit from them, but not quite as much as when I completed them from home.
