The Return to Play and Inner Child

What if the deeper purpose of your career, relationships, or home wasn’t about the goal itself, but about reconnecting with the truest version of you?

In this heartfelt conversation, actress Beth Behrs (Two Broke Girls, The Neighborhood) joins Jessica to explore the evolution of her manifestation practice—from hyper-specific manifestation lists in her 20s to soul-rooted simplicity in her late 30s. Through TBM tools, EMDR, the grounding presence of horses, and motherhood, Beth shares how healing childhood wounds of feeling “not enough” helped her redefine purpose, release perfectionism, and rediscover joyful creativity.

Though there’s no single roadmap to success in creative fields, Beth's story offers powerful expansion for anyone with a deep drive who’s willing to follow the universe’s signals toward aligned expression. It’s a reminder that passion and purpose are allowed to evolve—and that anchoring into authenticity is what life is truly about.

This episode is an invitation to soften, surrender, and reconnect with the artist, the child, and the soul within.

 – 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.
