Half advice, half crash outs, all walking the manifestation journey with you. A podcast for the hot messes who are crying in their bathrooms and feeling like they're going through it alone, and yet still show up for their dream lives. LET IT BE MESSY.
Specifically for people who have crippling anxiety (me), who can't stop catastrophizing their manifestations (me), or who are all around hot messes (guess who?).
I found a loophole. One word that my anxious, doubtful, chronically-overthinking brain cannot argue with. And I've been quietly testing it since the beginning of 2026 — on small things, embarrassing things, and the scariest thing I've been through in a long time.
It worked every single time.
In this episode I'm breaking down what the word is, why I think it actually works from a nervous system perspective, and how to use it even when you don't believe it yet.

15. It Gets Worse Before It Gets Gone
It gets worse before it gets gone — and this episode is me figuring that out in real time. After two weeks of spiraling, avoiding this podcast, and honestly having beef with the universe, I finally have a name for what's been happening: an extinction burst. In this episode I'm talking about staying in your manifestations when life is showing you the exact opposite, why things get harder right before they shift, and what it actually looks like to do the work without spiritually bypassing the hard parts.

14. It's Me, Hi! I'm The Problem, It's Me
I don't know who I am and apparently that's been blocking my manifestations this whole time. In this episode I'm talking about the fear of being seen, why it's showing up everywhere in my life, and the realization I had while tapping on my commute that kind of cracked everything open. Spoiler: the block isn't your technique. It's that you haven't fully met yourself yet. If you've been struggling with manifestation blocks, fear of visibility, self concept work, or just feeling stuck at the finish line... this one's for you. Also my dog snored through the whole thing. We move.

13. Turns Out I Don't Suck at Manifesting, I Just Suck at Receiving
After 8 years of trying to manifest my dream life, I finally figured out why nothing was landing.
In this episode, I share my breakthrough about nervous system blocks, why I can manifest small things but struggle with abundance and visibility, and how childhood trauma taught me that being big was dangerous. If you've been frustrated with manifestation techniques, wondering why manifesting isn't working, or feeling stuck even though you're doing "everything right"—this is for you.

12. HOPE. IS. RESISTANCE.
In this follow-up episode, I talk about why caring about politics and human rights isn’t “low vibration,” why spiritual bypassing helps the wrong people, and why choosing hope in a scary world is an act of resistance. This isn’t about disengaging or pretending everything is fine—it’s about staying aware, staying embodied, and refusing to let fear shape the future.

11. Holding Hope When Everything Feels Heavy
The world feels heavy right now, and manifesting can feel complicated because of it. In this episode, I talk honestly about guilt, anger, spiritual bypassing, and the tension between wanting more for yourself while everything feels uncertain. No answers, no toxic positivity...just a real conversation about holding hope without gaslighting yourself.

10. I Paid Etsy Witches for My Manifestations
I paid Etsy witches to help me manifest and somehow ended up in a full existential spiral. What started as a harmless attempt to “get a sign” turned into manifestation burnout, nervous system overload, and me questioning whether I even know how to manifest at all. In this episode, I talk about pressure, control, self-trust, and why trying harder was actually blocking everything I wanted. If you’ve ever felt abandoned by the universe or exhausted by doing manifestation “right,” this one’s for you.

09. The Filler Episode
Short and sweet.
This episode is about the messy middle of manifestation: the quiet, awkward, in-between phase where nothing is wrong, nothing is happening, and you’re exhausted from believing without receipts.
If you’re in a filler episode of your manifestation journey, I see you and I love you. Come join the mess.

08. My Sister Got a Boyfriend & I Spiraled for 4 Hours
Last week’s holiday hit me like a cosmic frying pan, hotties. My sister brought her boyfriend home for the first time (love him, truly), and instead of being a normal human, I emotionally combusted like a girl in a YA novel. I’m talking jealousy, loneliness, a full four-hour cry, AND angel numbers attacking me on the highway.
In this episode, I break down the crashout, the realizations, the “down bad does NOT mean what I thought it meant” debacle, and the genuinely healing shift that happened once I finally stopped pretending I didn’t want love or softness or support. If you’re feeling behind on your manifestations, lonely, overwhelmed, or like the universe is ghosting you...same. Let’s talk about it.

07. Worthiness Wounds, But Make It Murder Mystery
This week I somehow turned a murder mystery party into a full-blown worthiness wound healing moment. I talk about the childhood moment that convinced me I was “too much,” how that wound has stalked me through middle school, high school, work, relationships, and even my manifestation practice… and then the UNIVERSE casually threw me into a party hosted by a girl with the same name as the one who originally excluded me. Comedy? Karma? Both. If you’ve ever spiraled about your worthiness, cried at your cubicle, accepted crumbs in dating, or wondered if you’re manifesting wrong...welcome to the mess.

06. The Universe and I Are in Couples Therapy
Folding laundry, brushing my hair, and unpacking my messy situationship with the universe. ✨ This cozy, chaotic episode dives into rejection-as-redirection, divine timing, and why manifesting sometimes feels like the universe is ghosting you. If you’ve ever felt ignored by the powers that be on your manifestation journey, this one’s for you.

05. It’s Not You, It’s Your Nervous System (and She’s Tired, Babe)
In this episode, I’m getting real about trauma-informed manifesting and why nervous system regulation has completely changed the way I approach manifestation.
For years, I thought I was doing something wrong — stacking affirmations, scripting, visualizing — and wondering why things still weren’t landing. But what I didn’t realize was that my nervous system didn’t feel safe enough to receive the very things I was calling in.
This week, we're talking about healing trauma, EFT tapping, and learning to trust divine timing instead of spiraling in self-blame. Because when your body feels safe, your energy opens up...and that’s when your manifestations start flowing.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re “bad” at manifesting, this one’s for you. You’re not failing. You’re healing.

04. I Went To Japan and All I Got Was B*tch-Slapped By Triggers and Lessons
I went to Japan expecting manifestation magic… and instead got bitch-slapped by triggers, travel fails, and divine lessons in self-growth. From losing my JR pass to crying on a Tokyo hotel floor while eating onigiri, this solo travel adventure turned into a full-blown spiritual awakening. In this episode of Hot Mess Manifesting, I share how Japan taught me self-trust, emotional healing, and the messy truth about manifestation and personal growth. If you’ve ever turned a vacation into character development, this one's for you.
