Omg, right - one of those blogs that sounds like some crazy get rich scheme. I think we have all read variations of the same, and I’m telling you that in 2019 I would have been like, pfft whatever. The law of attraction/the secret/ manifestation etc., has all come a long way over the years.

In 2021 I invested deep into myself. I found Manifestation Babe in about September 2020 via a colleague turned client - and from there, The Royal Shaman and Sahara Rose, Amy Natalie, Human Design and Jenna Zoe and a whole raft of other like-minded boss humans that have been inspirational over the last few years.

But first, let's talk about manifestation:

/ˌmanɪfɛˈsteɪʃ(ə)n/

(noun)

an event, action, or object that clearly shows or embodies something abstract or theoretical.

There are 100,000’s if not millions of blogs, social posts, videos and books about manifestation, how to manifest, what to manifest and a whole raft of suggestions.

The Berkeley the Well-being institute refers to Manifestation as a “means to create something or turn something from an idea into a reality. In psychology, manifestation generally means using our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs to bring something to our physical reality.”

Manifestation tips examples:

Vision boards
Affirmations and mantras
Via journaling
Gratitude practice
Witchy ritual - list-making, burning.
Intention setting

So how did I manifest over $45K?

The back story - at the start of 2020, I was in a job that wasn’t aligned with me and where I was going, and by February, my manager and coordinator, plus several other people, were made redundant. The business was making exciting decisions, and I was planning my exit plan. Then the dreaded spicy flu hit, and the business world turned its head. I decided to stick it out and work to pursue my ultimate goal and vision and proactively make moves to 1) kick some financial goals, 2) firm up an exit strategy and start making steps in the right direction - my direction.

Fast-forward to October 2020 - whilst I am kicking the goals I need to in my corporate job, it's still not lighting me up; I realise that my mindset for my job is out of kilter and to start changing the attitude. That's where a mantra came in “ <inser business name> is paying my bills, it’s paying off my debt, it is facilitating my growth” and repeat… over and over. On the days when I would have so many meetings, I’d feel like I was tied to my desk; I would reflect… on the mantra, “oh, it's so amazing XYZ inc is paying bills how lucky”.

It helped me proactively reframe my situation, and the benefit of working from home, I was able to say it allowed, and a lot - some days I would probably say it on the hour every hour.

The team I worked with was fantastic, a bunch of great people, lots of dedication to marketing, and working in a pretty challenging environment - that business environment was challenging before the spicy flu kicked

In January 2021, it was announced that an international investor had acquired the business. And my spidey gut senses kicked off - damn, there will be significant changes, I looked at the business alignment to the patch I was responsible for, and then I told one of my best friends.

Me: oh, I'm getting redundant this year.

Her: Gurrrl, how do you know?

Me: I just know. It’s going to pay off all my debt (read the money wounds blog here). It's going to allow me to do extra coaching study.

Her: woooah, why do you want to get made redundant?

Me: I don't want to, but I’m going to, and it's going to open new doors.

Her: God Damn

Me: Oh, it will be amazing

January

From January onwards, I would tell all my friends that I was being made redundant outside of that work environment; I didn't know when, but it was to be before June. I told everyone who would listen.

For my girlfriend, I would message her and be like - Ohhhhh, I going to have zeros in my cc and loan debt. I am going to do an ICF accreditation course. Oh, I will get a Koala bed and mattress (if you are based in Australia, you know).

I didn't write this manifestation down; I just knew it would happen and my mantra - XYZ inc is paying my bills became XYZ will make me redundant.

Then I waited. And although I knew that it was coming, I began getting restless - my workload had dribbled to virtually nothing, all my initiatives, webinar series, ad spend and marketing activity was cancelled.

April

It was obvious that my role was going to be made redundant, but I am also kind of inpatient and a planner (Virgo/Capricorn) - I started being approached left, right, and centre by recruiters for roles.

Heaps of them, and I had this niggly feeling to just stay on track, stay the course, then I caved and took an interview - I smashed the interview and was given a second one within 24 business hours. I smashed that one, and I thought, oh damn, I think they will make an offer.

That night I just had this thought it's all freaking happening - they are going to offer me this job, and I am going to get made redundant - then, first up in the morning, I got the calendar invite with my manager and HR.

BOOOM - I messaged my best work girlfriend and said

dude, I'm getting made redundant today; there is so much change in the air - it's all happening.

During that train journey, I was verbally offered the other role… and with over 15 years in business, I knew not to accept anything until you get paperwork and the figures written down. But also, don’t resign until you have an offer that could be worth discussing with the current employer.

Now - the rest of the story goes to plan; my payout was just under $30K (for almost two years of service). Boom - paid off ALL debt! I had registered for the Dharma Coaching institute to add spiritual coaching into my skill set.

I was so grateful for having a well-facilitated exit, and I signed the paperwork for my new role the first week of being out of work. It was a business that I had followed for a while and always thought it would be somewhere I would work eventually - although I never actively pursued it.

Woooo - Done it!

I had manifested my redundancy; I had spoken it into reality. I was so sure of it; I felt it in the core of my body that it would happen the way it did.

I hadn't realised at the time that I was still eligible for my bonus (having exceeded all my KPIs), so as we came into the end of July, I got a call - and an additional 15K was coming my way. In Bonuses! F*ck yeah!

It was then a bit of a snowball effect (which seems to happen when you start leaning into manifesting)

I also then got a bumper tax return,
I won a $150 voucher competition,
I won $50 on the lotto,
I receive a bottle of wine from a supplier,
I signed new coaching clients.
My focus on the money management side regarding superannuation saw a significant increase by investing in a sustainable fund program.

Honestly, I was pretty chuffed - having never really thought that manifestation was something I could do - yes, I have read books on it; I have listened to many podcasts, but until it happens in your zone, it's tough to comprehend that it will happen.

What about past manifestations?

I started thinking about other situations where I wanted something so so much to happen that I brought it into reality.

June 2020

I desperately wanted to move closer to the beach, a bit further away from the city, to have more space, more nature, more outside, and I willed it into being.

I got super specific on what I wanted, to a point where I was telling my girlfriend that we were going to drink red wine on the deck and eat cheese platters on the marble bench, and my late cat Jazzie was going to roll around on the deck with her tummy out… it all happened.

December 2019

With no money, stuck in Boracay, after a typhoon-ravaged Christmas (definitely another story), having been told there were working ATMs on the mainland, but it will be an 8hr round trip to get there. I trusted that it was working, I got on a scooter, boat, bus and walked to 5 ATMs, all empty, and at the 4th I sat on the ground and cried - I just willed that as my phone was dying the last ATM on my map was going to be the change... and the last was a winner. I then queued for 4 hours to finally get cash. I was willing it into existence with all my might.

My tips for manifestation as a “non-specific manifestor.”

Get really specific - I wasn't being specific on the amount. But I got specific on how I would feel.
What the outcomes were going to be.
What it would enable me to do.
How I would feel once I had zero debt and a bunch of savings.
What I would do three months after.
I envisioned my bank account - I could see the app and the figures.
I spoke about it not as a when I, but I will.
I trusted inherently it was happening.
I spoke about it to people - who couldn't influence the outcome but who were important to me and had a genuine interest in me winning and succeeding.

And that, my friends, is how I manifested over $45k in less than nine months.
