An Unexpected Career Opportunity & A Forest House
Where do you reside?: France
What is your cultural upbringing and background?: Born in London, raised in Detroit living in France since 2007
Are you currently a Pathway Member?: Yes
What was on your manifestation list?: New partner, job, and home. Second child after a very hard divorce.
What workshops did you use and what blocks did you discover during the DIs & workshops?: How to manifest, and the podcast was a breakthrough in recognizing patterns. I keep getting stuck on Unblocked Shadow and Unblocked Inner Child, which means I have a lot to unblock, I think.
What expanders did you find?: It's cliche, but lacy is a huge expander. I was pregnant, leaving Paris, and buying a house in the forest when I first started listening to the podcast and signed up for the pathway. Greek mythology retold with a feminist spin (like Circe) is another huge expander for me in rethinking our personal stories.
What tests did you face? Which did you pass? Not pass?: My divorce was a huge test. It was in a language I didn't fully understand at a point in my life where I didn't have much money and needed to show my worth and defend myself and my child from a really dangerous relationship. I thought I passed, but the same dynamics showed up in my job with a boss who I am still navigating.
Did you experience a magic dark period? If so, tell us about it.: Yes, before manifesting my partner. I was single for about six months and nothing was coming through until may when I met my partner, got a huge raise, and managed to rent a studio apartment next to the Eiffel Tower which was an amazing bridge home with a huge balcony which helped me realize how much I needed to be in contact with nature. There was another magic dark before I found my current home, in the forest in burgundy, where I live with my children, dog, donkeys, and goats.
How did your manifestation come through?: Expanding and upleveling, but I know I'm still working through some old patterns, which is why I need to get brave and face Unblocked Shadow and YUnblocked Inner Child again.
How long did it take for your manifestation to come through after crafting your initial list?: I write a list each month, so it depends on the item. The forest house took about six months, and the job maybe three. It was strange because I did not apply for the job it was offered to me. But I think I failed a test somewhere bc although the job is perfect, I'm an event coordinator at a castle that hosts art festivals and artist residencies, and the work environment is toxic!
How frequently were you using the workshops and DI's when you noticed the biggest shift surrounding your manifestation?: Daily
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?: In the car or on a hike with my dog is the best time to listen for me.
