State Determines Your Manifesting Capacity
You must shift from sympathetic (fight/flight) into parasympathetic (rest/digest) to maximize cognitive networks for creating outcomes.
Stress mode narrows and distorts attention, reducing the chance you manifest helpful possibilities.

How to Train Your Mind to Create the Life You Want
In this mashup episode, I’m bringing you three unforgettable conversations that will completely change the way you think about your thoughts, your goals, and your future. If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not getting where you want to go, the missing link isn’t more hustle—it’s mastering the way you think. This episode is all about taking control of your mind so you can take control of your life.
I sat down with Eric Thomas, Jenn Gottlieb, and Dr. James Doty—three extraordinary voices who have each mastered the art of aligning thoughts, actions, and beliefs to create extraordinary results. Eric Thomas, the “Hip Hop Preacher,” breaks down how to flip the switch from wishing for your dreams to working for them with unshakable discipline and clarity. Jenn Gottlieb shares her powerful strategies for overcoming self-doubt, showing up authentically, and creating opportunities through connection and confidence. And Dr. James Doty, a neurosurgeon and leading voice in compassion science, reveals the surprising neuroscience behind manifestation—and why gratitude and service are essential to creating real, lasting change.
You’ll hear us unpack one of the greatest truths in life: you don’t get what you want—you get what you believe you deserve, what you expect, and what you’re willing to work for. This isn’t about “positive thinking” in the shallow sense. It’s about rewiring your brain to operate at a higher level so you can recognize opportunities, act on them, and keep moving forward even when fear shows up.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to start going after the life you’ve imagined—this is it. The tools are here. The science is here. The stories are here. Now it’s on you to apply them and become the person who makes your dreams inevitable.
Key Takeaways:
