In this solo episode of Returning Home, hear about how I manifested facilitating a retreat in less than 5 hours!

And it's NOT what you think...

The term "manifesting" is all the rage right now, and I believe we are manifesting all the time. Whatever you have in your life currently, you "manifested" it, whether intentionally or not. Our words are spells that we use to speak our life into being. With enough belief, our thoughts become things. It has to feel true to you, right? (This isn't a statement about big social issues like racism, sexism or homophobia, but about circumstances that we choose to live in).

I love to pull intentionality into the practice of manifesting because then I know I am consciously choosing what's showing up in my life.

Listen to this episode to hear all about:

1. How I manifested facilitating a retreat for a staff of therapists in less than 5 hours!
2. My process for getting to the point I am at now in my career and my mindset.
3. What I think is the key piece to living the life you desire.
