Stripping and Preparing for Change

What if we let go of “new year, new me” and stepped into “new year, real me?” What if welcoming back the parts of yourself you’ve been sidelining is the most magnetic way to begin 2026?

In this powerful kickoff to the year, Lacy and Jessica explore the energetics of the portal between the winter solstice and the New Year—a scientifically and spiritually potent window for quantum-level manifestation. Together, they unpack the theme of purpose: not just career, but the soul’s authentic expression across all areas of life.

You’ll learn how to reconnect with your inner child, tune into intuitive pings, and navigate the collective shifts shaping the new paradigm. This episode is both a grounded guide and a gentle invitation to step into 2026 with clarity, intention, and alignment—rooted in your truest self.

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.
