Let’s Talk About Manifestation
Girl, let me tell you, sometimes it feels like your life is falling apart right before a breakthrough. That’s exactly what happened when my husband and I were trying to get a new car.
A few years ago, we bought this sleek black Jeep. We were hyped for all the adventures ahead. But two months in, it started having serious issues. No matter what we did, nothing worked, and it wouldn’t pass inspection.
For what felt like forever, we searched for another vehicle. We didn’t need brand new, just new to us. We hit up so many dealerships and kept getting denied. Even buying a car off the street wasn’t working out—everything seemed like a scam.
We were juggling our budget between getting a car, moving into a new place, life, bills, medical issues and my annual birthday trip. It felt impossible to afford EVERYTHING, so we had to make tough choices (which meant almost everything BUT the car).
Finally, we found a car lot with a car we liked. But it needed repairs to pass inspection, and the insurance was through the roof. We were scrambling to get everything done in 30 days after already dropping a bag on the car.
We had to sacrifice big time. Moving plans? On hold. Birthday trip? Canceled. We cut corners wherever we could. But we pushed through, got all the repairs done, and handled the high insurance.
Now, we have a reliable car that’s FULLY PAID OFF. It wasn’t easy, but sometimes you have to trade your old life for a new one. The struggle was real, but the freedom and peace of mind were worth it. Remember, girl, sometimes things fall apart so better things can fall together. Period. 💅🏽

Following up on my own wild ride to manifesting that dream car, I wanted to dive a bit deeper into something nobody really talks about: the truly scary signs that your manifestations are actually coming. It’s not all vision boards and positive vibes, girl. Sometimes, before that big breakthrough, things feel like they’re absolutely falling apart. Like, one of the biggest signs your manifestation is almost here can be a period of intense challenge or even loss. It’s like the universe is clearing out the old to make space for the new, and that process can be messy and uncomfortable. Think about it. When we were trying to get our car, everything went wrong. Our old car broke down, we couldn't find a new one, money was tight, and we had to cancel a trip I'd been looking forward to all year. It felt like a test, right? This is where a lot of people give up. But what if those 'scary signs'—the setbacks, the 'no's, the financial strain—are actually divine redirection? What if they're pushing you to get clearer on what you truly want, or forcing you to grow in ways you never would have otherwise? A good manifestation coach will tell you that resilience during these times is key. So, how do you push through when it feels impossible? First, get crystal clear on your desire. Don't just say 'a car,' say 'a reliable, paid-off car that fits my lifestyle.' Visualise it, feel it, literally forming 'manifesting lines' of thought about it. Second, embrace the journey, not just the destination. Understand that setbacks are part of the process. My experience taught me that. Every 'no' just brought us closer to the right 'yes.' Third, practice radical acceptance and gratitude. Even when things are tough, find something to be grateful for. That shift in energy can be powerful. And fourth, take inspired action. You can't just wish for a limousine (or a reliable car) and sit back. You have to do the research, make the calls, put in the effort, even when it feels like you're hitting brick walls. Remember how I said we had to sacrifice so much? It was difficult, but looking back, each sacrifice was an investment in our future peace of mind. That paid-off car isn't just a car; it's a symbol of our perseverance, our trust in the process, and our belief that better things were coming. So, if you're in the midst of your own manifestation journey and it feels like everything is falling apart, take heart. It just might be the universe preparing you for something truly unbelievable. Keep going, keep believing, and keep putting in the work. Your breakthrough is closer than you think, and the peace of mind that comes with it is absolutely worth every single challenge. Let's talk about manifestation not just as a dream, but as a journey of growth.
