Embracing Change: The Power of Daily Habits and Life’s Tests

Are you being tested? Life is full of those frustrating moments—an unexpected bill, a toxic job dynamic, or an unaligned romantic suitor. This episode is your pick-me-up on how to navigate tests and what they really mean in manifestation terms. Lacy and Jessica share that tests aren’t here to punish us—they’re here to show if we’re truly ready for what we’re calling in. Each test reflects our subconscious self-worth, asking us to notice old patterns and choose differently this time. Through live channelings, grounded insights, and real-time examples, they walk you through the TBM approach to moving through life’s tests with clarity and power. Because your manifestations are already orbiting, and every test is the universe knocking to see if you’re ready to receive it.

In This Episode We Talk About:

• Tests are growth checkpoints, not punishment
• The universe matches your subconscious self-worth, not your conscious desires
• “A test is just the universe knocking to see what you want to receive” —Lacy Phillips
• Tests highlight inner looping—patterns you’re ready to outgrow
• If you don’t pass a test, it will lovingly return until you’re ready
• Expansion is the key to making new choices aligned with your highest self
• Reframe “failing” a test as simply showing where more work is needed
• Use the TBM protocol: Pause, Reframe, Review
• External frustrations often mirror subconscious beliefs
• Interruptions can be tests or reminders—like Lacy’s parenting moment mid-episode
• Not all patterns can be unblocked alone—therapy (like EMDR) may be needed
• The difference between standing up for yourself and walking away depends on your past pattern
• Don’t put tests on a pedestal—stay grounded in your intuition
• The collective shift through 2027 is creating space for new structures and ways of being
• TBM’s book launch is breaking conventional structures—mirroring the energy of the episode

Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.

At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.

Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
 – Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
 – Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
 – Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
 – Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self

With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.
