Career beginnings: Sakara to Google

What if the chapter that once fit you perfectly is meant to close for something bigger and better?

Brand marketer and TBM team member Eugenia Ali shares her deeply honest journey of unraveling corporate success to build a life rooted in intuition, creativity, and self-trust. From climbing the ranks at Google to honoring the whispers of the universe, Eugenia walks us through the tender process of healing her core wound of belonging, reconnecting with her inner child through the Return to Magic Challenge, and manifesting a career that finally feels like home.

Eugenia’s story is kismet, full of magic, and winks from the universe. What truly sets her apart is her willingness to meet obstacles head-on and take action. Whether you’re just beginning to notice intuitive pings, feeling the call but unsure of your next step, or a seasoned manifester seeking deeper alignment, Eugenia is your newest Expander.

HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips 

(with exercises by Jessica Gill)

Available now!

The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. 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.

Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
