In My Non-Expert Opinion

23: Manifesting something so specific can seem overwhelming, and often times we think we don't deserve the best. This mindset, combined with co-dependency issues, limiting beliefs, and negative self-talk means we never truly get what we want or deserve.Why is that? Why don't we think we can have the cutest, best, brightest apartment in our fave part of the city? Why can't we attract someone who has a house in Malibu? Why can't we try something crazy and be good at it, like comedy? Well....today's guest Meagan Grainger did all of this and we get into SO many why's and how's.Meagan (@meagangrainger) hosts the pod "Superficial Magic", where her and guests discuss stepping into your highest self, all while keeping it SUPER real... like discussing her Ambien trips, dating mishaps, and more.
