The Unschool by Andi Alleman

Manifesting is the idea that we can inspire how we feel, what we experience, and what opportunities come into our lives through our thoughts, actions, beliefs, and emotions. It’s about turning your dreams into reality, by working to face your limiting beliefs, expand your thinking, raise your vibration, and align to what you want to create in your life. There are loads of superstitions out there around manifestation - they’re all over social media, especially TikTok and superstitions won’t necessarily help you to build the life you’re dreaming of, or will they?  In this episode, we’re dissecting the manifestation trends on Tik Tok and talking about which ones deserve a Woo Woo BFF stamp of approval and which ones need to be debunked.   We’re also discussing a round-up of the 12 things that can help you manifest the life you want in 2022. The round-up comes from a conversation we had this week with E! News, from guided journals to intention candles, and vision boards to wellness sets.

Imagine it’s December 31, 2022. What is your vision for this year ahead? What do you wish to accomplish in this next year of your life? It could be a relationship goal, an educational goal, something personal you’re aspiring to achieve, a money and prosperity goal, or something in your career? In this episode, I’m inviting you to reflect back on 2021 and begin to visualize your year ahead.  I also encourage you to celebrate how you’ve evolved and transformed, and how you’ll continue to do that in this year to come. When you have some time to sit with yourself, here’s a list of journal prompts I encourage you to explore, reflect, and project as we close the year:  What am I celebrating as this year comes to a close? What vision am I holding for the year ahead? When I consider that vision what does it look like? Feel like? Sound like?  Who is there with me? How am I nurturing myself? How do I celebrate when I bring this vision to life in 2022? What message is being illuminated from within your soul now?

Have you heard of the Law of Attraction? If you’ve heard of the Law of Attraction it’s a wonderful starting point on your manifestation journey. However, there’s more to it! I started studying Manifestation in 2006. That year the book and the movie “The Secret” came out. I started working with the LOA then and noticed that the approach was working. My next step was to study everything I could get my hands on about the concepts of manifestation. The more I refined my process, the more things kept happening. That’s where this episode begins. Do you want a new (non-boring, overwhelm-free, dare I say woo even?!) way to create your vision and set your goals for 2022?

Become the architect of your future. To me, manifestation has nothing to do with saying positive affirmations over and over again. Nothing to do with superstition. It has everything to do with your beliefs and your vibrational frequency. In this episode, I’m sharing the 4-step process to create your own manifestation blueprint for 2022.  Plus, it’s the holiday season, and while the festivities are underway and cheer is in the air, energy and aura protection is so important to maintain balance, peace, and clarity of vision. In the opening of the episode I’m sharing 6 easy ways to protect yourself, including the specific mantras I recommend, the herbs to blend into a tea (yes, we’re getting witchy), and the rituals and daily practices I consider to be absolute musts. Have questions or just want to say hi text me at +1 (323) 405-9256! I’d love to hear your manifestation stories too to share on future episodes.

As we usher in the holiday season, we’re bringing you a bonus episode including some of our favorite conscious gifts for the woo woo baddie in your life, and a conversation with the modern mystic, visionary artist, and all-around magical human being: Kim Krans, the creator of the New York Times bestseller The Wild Unknown Tarot.  A prolific creative influenced by a range of mystical traditions, Kim has published oracle decks and guidebooks, one memoir, an interactive journal, and five children’s books. Kim is also known for her work as a multi-media artist, filmmaker, and musician.  Describing her approach to creativity, Kim stated, “I’m a shapeshifting, multidisciplinary artist who creates doorways to the imagination - to other realms. My job is to make the portals too beautiful to resist, so people slip through without realizing it. What I am truly interested in is the power of image, and the power of ritual, to transform the individual and the world.”  Kim is perhaps best known for her drawings in The Wild Unknown Tarot, which was first self-published in 2012 and later rose to become a NYT bestselling title, now translated into ten languages. Her occult-turned-mainstream drawings can be spotted on tarot cards, handbags, books, snowboards, celebrity social feeds, and tattoos across the globe.  Find and follow Kim at @kim_krans and The Wild Unknown at @the_wild_unknown Resources:  Kim’s Newest Offerings:  The Wild Unknown Pocket Tarot, $17.99 -- Perfect for the tarot and oracle card lovers in your life, TWU Pocket Tarot is a compact, portable version of Kim's bestselling tarot deck featuring her lush four-color illustrations.

A few years ago I spent a weekend at a shamanic studies workshop learning about animal guides, I came home shared the details with my BFF, and rather than thinking I was totally out there, she got curious! Today I’m joined by my very own best friend! Elsie Larson, of the lifestyle blog A Beautiful Mess, is with us today to talk about her own integration into the woo.  Elsie and I met when I lived in Nashville and in our friendship, while I’m the woo one, I’ve always known Elsie has some woo, woo witchy gifts. I’ve seen her manifest really incredible things over the course of our friendship - even when she didn’t necessarily know she was doing it.  Over the last few months, as Elsie and I planned for this episode, we talked about the list of things that she might be interested in from astrology readings to aura photography readings to reiki, and more. We’ve been having discussions about past lives and karma, kundalini yoga and acupuncture, psychic gifts, and intuitive wisdom and honestly, it’s been so much fun for me seeing my BFF get into the things I love so much!  This is the episode for you if you’re new to the woo, or if you have a friend you’d like to share your woo practices with. Prior to recording this episode, Elsie booked appointments and now we’re discussing how it’s all gone for her thus far! If you want to hear more, give her show a listen too - I joined her over on A Beautiful Mess pod to chat specifically about Astrology, especially for those that might be a bit skeptical.  Elsie Larson is the founder of lifestyle blog A Beautiful Mess and apps A Color Story and Filmm. Elsie lives in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband, two children, and two dogs.

Daniela Mattos left her home in Brazil at 19 years old to come to the US. She started her path studying Biotechnology, then worked on Wall Street for twelve years, and now is a KRI-Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher. If you’re wondering how someone goes from climbing the corporate ladder to teaching yoga, while making a complete life transformation, this is the episode for you.  In today’s episode, Daniela shares her story, and how she went from being a skeptic to an illuminated and radiant guide to others. After the birth of her second child, everything changed in her life. She experienced chronic pain, and while she was determined to recover, a new modality presented itself. That modality was the “Diamond” of Yoga, and while she found the practice to be quite weird, because - hey it can be!, she was open and that’s when her world began to change. She completed her Kundalini teacher training under renowned teacher, Gurmukh. She’s also has a certification in Radiant Child Yoga, Reiki Usui Method Levels 1 and 2, as well as an Astrology certification with Rebecca Gordon.  Today Kundalini Yoga centers her life, and through its practice, she strives to become a more aware and compassionate version of herself. You can read more about Daniela’s life and practice in her book Sat Nam: Becoming Your Own Guru.

A wellness practice that has been a life-changer for me is releasing caffeine from my life. Five years ago I was introduced to a product that started my journey of giving up coffee. If you’re thinking - “I could never!” trust me I was just like you. I finally fully gave up coffee because of this product - Dandy Blend, a roasted plant beverage that actually tastes as good as coffee. On today’s episode, I’m introducing you to the women behind the brand. Karin Reale, the CFO of Dandy Blend, and Gina Reale the CMO of Dandy Blend, with their family, have carried on the legacy of Karin’s father, Dr. Peter Gail. Dubbed the “King of Dandelions,” botanist and Dandy Blend Founder Dr. Peter Gail devoted his life’s work to the study of wild plants – particularly the dandelion. From teaching others how to safely consume freshly foraged weeds, herbs, and roots to using them for medicinal and healing properties, Dr. Gail amassed one of the largest collections of recipes and folklore for wild edible plants in the U.S. His passion for educating others was evident in the various books he published as well as his 16-year tenure as a professor at Cleveland State University. Today this mother and daughter team, in partnership with Dr. Gail’s son-in-law and grandson, carries on the business in his honor – they continue to share Peace + Happiness with others through his legacy, a sentiment Dr. Gail held dear. In the episode we discuss: * The background of the brand * What it was like growing up in an environment that honors foraging wild plants * Stories from customers about how plants have changed their health * Health benefits of dandelion  * Favorite ways to incorporate wild plants into your diet * Lessons passed down from Dr. Gail Find and follow Dandy Blend at @dandyblend Resource:  Book mentioned in this episode: Raise Your Vibration: 111 Practices to Increase Your Spiritual Connection by Kyle Gray, Life As A Daymaker: How To Change The World By Making Someone's Day by David Wagner, The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo Upcoming events to know about: Join my upcoming workshops and courses, all of which are available on my events page.
