Is Manifesting Real? It’s a question that many of us have pondered at one point or another. The idea that we can bring something we desire into existence simply by thinking about it sounds almost too good to be true. But I am here to tell you—without a shadow of a doubt—that manifesting is 100% real, and it can create real, tangible change in your life. Let me take you on a journey of how I recently manifested an exciting new opportunity and how you can tap into the power of manifestation in your own life.
The Power of Surrender
At the end of 2022, after years of hard work and pushing to achieve my goals, I decided to do something radical: I surrendered. I let go of all the expectations, pressures, and plans I had been holding onto and handed everything over to the universe. I didn’t know what would come next, and honestly, I didn’t care. I was ready for a fresh start and open to whatever life had in store for me. I wanted to create space for new opportunities to flow into my life. So I made a conscious decision to let go and let the universe take the lead. I told myself, “I’m willing for everything to fall away to make room for the new to come in.”
What happened next was extraordinary. For nearly two weeks, I entered a deep state of peace and bliss. It was as if all the worries, doubts, and anxieties I had been carrying with me just melted away. My days were filled with quiet time in nature, meditating, dancing, praying, and connecting with my inner self. I felt completely aligned with my greater self and deeply connected to the universe. During this time, I had many conversations with the universe (what I often call my greater self or source).
I made it clear that I was ready for my true path to unfold, and I trusted that it would. But I didn’t just sit around waiting for things to happen. I actively focused on how I wanted my life to feel. I knew I wanted my next chapter to be fun and easy. I also knew I wanted to collaborate with inspiring people who share my values. So, I put it out there to the universe: “Bring me fun, ease, and inspiring co-creators.”
Letting Go of the Details
One of the most important things I did during this time was to let go of the details. I didn’t obsess over how or when things would happen. Instead, I focused on feeling good in the present moment. I didn’t need to know the specifics of how my next opportunity would come to me; I just trusted that it would. That’s a critical part of manifesting. When we hold on too tightly to how we think things should unfold, we can block the flow of possibilities. But when we relax and allow ourselves to feel good now, we open up space for the universe to surprise us. And surprise me, it did.
The Power of Alignment
One evening during this two-week period, I found myself scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon the page of an old client of mine. She had become a dear friend, and I hadn’t seen her profile in a while. I noticed that her audience had grown significantly, and I spent some time celebrating her success and checking out her latest updates. The very next day, she called me out of the blue. I was stunned. Had she somehow known I had been looking at her Instagram page? I panicked for a second but quickly realized this was pure divine intervention. She had no idea I had been thinking about her the night before. This was the universe at work—synchronicity in action.
During our conversation, she mentioned a new project she was working on: a mental health app that TV personality Ferne McCann was launching. She asked if I would be interested in creating content for the app. It sounded amazing, and just like that, the opportunity I had been manifesting started to take shape. One week later, I found myself on the phone with Ferne, discussing the details of the project. Three weeks after that, I was in a London studio filming content for her app, surrounded by an inspiring team of people—just as I had envisioned. It was fun, easy, and incredibly aligned with everything I had asked the universe for.
Manifesting in Action – Creating with Ease
This entire experience was a powerful reminder of how real manifestation is and how quickly things can happen when we are aligned. I didn’t have to force anything or chase after opportunities. I simply aligned myself with the energy I wanted to bring into my life—fun, ease, and collaboration—and the universe delivered. But here’s the thing: manifesting doesn’t happen without inner work. It’s not just about saying affirmations or writing down your goals.
To manifest powerfully, you must be willing to dig deep and uncover the hidden blocks that are sabotaging your success. We all have limiting beliefs, fears, and doubts that hold us back from manifesting our true desires. These hidden blocks often operate beneath the surface, influencing our actions and keeping us stuck in patterns of scarcity and fear.
Uncovering Hidden Blocks
In my case, I had to work through deep-rooted fears of failure, rejection, and not being good enough. These fears had been holding me back for years, and it wasn’t until I surrendered and let them go that I was able to fully step into my power. Manifesting isn’t just about attracting what you want; it’s also about becoming the person who can receive it. That means doing the inner work to heal the parts of yourself that are still afraid or insecure.
If you’re not seeing the results you want in your manifesting efforts, it’s time to look inward and ask yourself: what’s blocking me from receiving what I desire? This is the work I do with my coaching clients—helping them identify and clear the hidden fears and limiting beliefs that are preventing them from manifesting their dreams. And I can help you do the same.
Manifesting is real, but it requires more than just positive thinking. It’s about doing the inner work to clear hidden blocks and align with your desires. Surrender to the universe and trust that everything will unfold in divine timing. Let go of the details and focus on feeling good in the present moment. Synchronicity is a powerful sign that you’re aligned with your true path. Pay attention to the signs and trust that the universe is guiding you. Inner work is key to manifesting powerfully. Uncover the limiting beliefs and fears that are sabotaging your success and release them. Manifesting isn’t about chasing goals—it’s about becoming the person who can receive the life you desire.
