I often get this question: Dear Gabby, how do I know I’m manifesting?

If this question resonates with you, tune in to today’s podcast where I reveal 3 signs that you’re manifesting.

At the top of the pod I shared:

“One of the secrets to manifesting is to truly get grounded in the energy of knowing—being certain. There’s a beautiful quote from the metaphysical text A Course in Miracles: Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait, and wait without anxiety. So one of the greatest methods for knowing that your manifestation is on the way is feeling a sense of certainty, feeling a sense of knowing and believing this is happening. Even if you can’t see it yet.”

So, how do you access that sense of knowing?

You feel it. The first step to knowing you’re manifesting is that you feel a sense of certainty and you’re unapologetic about what you desire. 

Another sign that I like to call “driftwood” is when you spot what you’re after happening in someone else’s life. It’s like a hint from the Universe that what you’re manifesting is on its way to you.

These signs not only affirm our connection to our manifesting power, but also ground us in the belief that what we seek is on its way, even if we don’t realize it yet. 

In this episode you’ll learn how to:

  • Recognize “driftwood”: Spot signs of your desires manifesting in others’ lives as evidence that your own manifestation is on the way.
  • Align with joyful energy: Tap into excitement and positive feelings to attract what you want, rather than focusing on lack.
  • Ask for signs from the universe: Request specific signs to confirm you’re on the right path and build trust in the process.
  • Stay grounded in certainty: Trust that even if you can’t see it yet, your desire is already in motion.
  • Playfully engage with the process: Manifestation works best when you stay open, curious, and have fun with it.

3 signs your manifestation is on its way

[00:00:00] The following podcast is a dear media production.

Hey there. Welcome to Dear Gabby. I'm your host, Gabby Bernstein. And if you landed here, it is absolutely no accident. It means that you're ready to feel good and manifest a life beyond your wildest dreams. Let's get started.

Welcome back, my friends. Welcome back to Dear Gabby. I have been across the West Coast in the last week. I was in Arizona giving a talk. I was in LA recording. nine podcasts to prepare for the launch of Self Help, my new book. And I was giving a talk in Denver. I was just all over the place and it was a lot of schlepping, but it was really fun.

And I was just having a really joyful experience of just staying in the presence and the flow of the universe and showing up for what was in front of me, having fun along the way. And it feels really exciting because I'm in this period that I like to call the pre [00:01:00] launch period for the launch of a book, which sometimes can be even more anticipatory and more extreme in some ways because there's so much to do before you birth a baby book.

And one of the big things that's happening that no one should miss, nobody miss this, is that on November 16th, I'm doing my big pre order event. You can join me for a full day free live online masterclass. And the masterclass. is a free event when you pre order Self Help, my new book. The event is all day and it's going to be this incredible opportunity for you to master the four step method from the book.

It's the inner work that will change the core belief systems that are holding you back from stepping into the power of who you are truly here to be. And when you claim these new ways of thinking and this compassionate kind of approach, connection inside. Your whole life begins to change, and that's the core promise of the book Self Help.

This is your chance to change your life. All the [00:02:00] details are over at DearGabby.com/selfhelp. I can't wait to see you there. Now let's jump into the show. This episode is so beautiful. It's all about how do I know I'm manifesting? Stick around to the end. There's some really radical things that happen in this episode, and I'm really excited that you're here to listen.

Enjoy the show. We are here back in the studio. So psyched to be back with you guys. Today's intro topic is three signs your manifestation is on the way. I get this all the time. I get people emailing me. I get people messaging me, DMing me, Gabby, how do I know I'm manifesting? How do I know I'm manifesting?

Even if I don't see it yet, because often people think that the only way that they can know that they're manifesting is when they can actually see the manifestation already coming into form. But how do we get to that place of being in that certainty that our manifestation is on the way? How do we know?

How do we stay in [00:03:00] that grounded state of believing? Well, there's a few signs that you can know that the universe is definitely hooking you up. A few signs that will help you really establish that great connection to your manifesting power and to know and to believe and to ground yourself in the certainty that yes, it's on the way even though I can't see it yet.

The first sign is what I call driftwood. Now driftwood is sort of like this moment when you see something that you are manifesting in someone else's life. You perceive it, you witness it, you experience it in someone else's life, and that in turn gives you a sense of knowing that it's coming to you. For instance, you are wanting to manifest a baby, and you start seeing pregnant women everywhere.

Instead of seeing that as, oh, wow, they have it and I don't, I want you to start to witness that as driftwood. It's a sign from the universe that your baby is on the way. Another example is seeing [00:04:00] relationships that are really seeing somebody holding hands on the beach. Instead of looking at that from the standpoint of, oh, they have that, I don't have that and starting to judge yourself and judge your lack of a relationship, turn it around.

See it as driftwood, see it as something that you perceive as knowing that is something that is on the way for me. That's the universe reminding me that my desire is on the way. Examples of driftwood also just come in the form of something that somebody might say to you or a song that you hear. It's something that is reigniting that spark within you to affirm what you desire is indeed on the way.

The second way that you know your manifestation is indeed coming to you on the way is a feeling. It's a feeling of giddiness. It's a feeling of excitement. It's a feeling of joy that sparks when you think about what it is that you desire because you can know that you're revving up and that the energy of what you desire is coming closer to you.

When you start to feel that [00:05:00] buzziness, that, that happiness, that joy, that positive expectation of what is coming to you. It's a sign that you've been really aligning your energy with what is of the highest good. It's a sign that you've been connecting to the positive vibration of what you desire rather than the lack of not having it yet.

So you want to do things that get you into that buzzy, excited state. So if you create a vision board or if you write about your desire, or if you talk about it with a close friend, tap into that energy, that buzzy feeling, that feeling of, Oh my God, I'm so excited about this. And notice it when it comes up.

For me, it feels almost like a spell. Speediness, like a sense of anticipation that something is coming. And sometimes it just hits you, you don't even know where it came from, it just comes out of nowhere. And it's this feeling of, oh my god, this, this sensation, I feel so close to this even though I can't see it yet.

That is a sure sign that your manifestation is indeed on the way. [00:06:00] And then the third is literally a sign. We have talked about this over and over again on the Dear Gabby podcast, in my videos, all about asking for a sign, asking the universe to show you a sign that you are indeed on the right track. So if you're in the positive anticipation of what you want to call into your life and you ask the universe to show you a sign, show you a blue butterfly, show you a orange car, show you something specific, show you a rainbow, ask for that sign.

And don't. question what you're asking for, but be very specific about what it is. And when you ask for that sign and you get that sign, that's the third step to know that you are definitely on your way to attracting what it is that you desire. So I'll just recap those steps. The three signs that you know the universe is indeed delivering your desires to you is first to really know that that driftwood is around you.

Instead of seeing the thing that you want in front [00:07:00] of you as something that somebody else has and you don't have it. See it as driftwood. No, it's a short little sign that your desire is coming fast. So notice, notice the driftwood, write about it, celebrate it, reprogram yourself to look at people who have what you desire as driftwood rather than lack.

It's a reprogramming. It's a totally new way of thinking, a totally new way of thinking. Then the second sign that your manifestation is indeed on the way is to really notice the feelings. Notice if you have that. excited feeling, that high vibration, that momentum, that positive energetic momentum. Pay attention to the moments when you feel just almost like sparks of joy coming through you.

So notice that frequency, that energetic frequency. And then your third sign that your manifestation is on the way is that the universe literally delivers you your sign. That you see it right in front of you. That You get that message. You get that, that billboard, [00:08:00] whether you asked for a rainbow and you see a double rainbow, or you ask for a sign of a song and the song is playing for you everywhere you go, whatever it is, you know, that your sign that is delivered to you is showing you clear direction that your manifestation is on the way.

And finally, the goal here isn't to start looking around for your manifestation. The goal is to stay in the positive feeling, to continue to look for the driftwood, to witness all the signs that you're receiving and celebrate them, and to feel the excited energy around what it is that you desire.

Claim it, feel into it, know it's on the way, even if you can't see it yet. And the more that you witness these signs, and the more that you celebrate these signs, The more that you will know with certainty that your desire is indeed on the way, those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety.

So really give yourself the permission to look for the signs, to feel [00:09:00] into the signs, to trust the signs, to let the universe guide you. to just really be playful with this process and not judge it, be grounded in it, and have fun with it. I'm going to bring these steps into our episode today. I'm going to take you guys back to these three signs, really help you learn how to claim them, witness them, apply the methods so that you can start to get into that energy of certainty.

and really give yourself permission to be unapologetic about what you desire and know that it is on the way. I feel so good about that. I am so excited that we are breaking it down here for you, just giving you the clear path because my hope is that through the Dear Gabby Q and A's that come through today, you will recognize that even when things seem far away, They actually can be far closer than you could ever imagine.

You know that I love to discover [00:10:00] new and amazing products. I'm always looking for ways to really improve my long term health and overall wellness, especially when these products are backed with science and research. I love getting nerdy about this stuff. There's this fatty acid called C 15, the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in 90 years.

That's mind blowing. Studies have confirmed that C 15 is three times better, broader, and safer than omega 3. Enter fatty 15. Fatty 15 I first heard about when I was at my friend Nicole's beautiful little store in New York City called Bonbury. And whatever Nicole has in that store, I know is the most legit products because she's done her research and she's great, gone for it.

And so this was when I was introduced to the product and now I'm so psyched to share that Fatty15 was founded by Stephanie Van Watson. She's a doctor and discovered C15 while working with the U. S. Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins. Isn't that amazing? And so the studies show that C15 works by strengthening our cells, improving our [00:11:00] mitochondrial function, and protecting us against damaging free radicals.

And the results are amazing. Better long term metabolic liver and heart health. C 15 is the only ingredient in Fatty15, it's 100 percent pure, it's vegan, it's free of fillers and flavors. Fatty15 is on a mission to replenish your C 15 levels and restore your long term health. You can get an additional 15 percent off their 90 day subscription starter kit by going to fatty15.com/DearGabby and using code DearGabby at checkout. So, there is one product that I have gifted probably more than any other product. It's the gift for the holidays, it's the birthday gift, it is our place. This is the absolute best, most beautifully designed cookware. It's a non toxic, healthy, and sustainable brand.

And their cookware is so beautiful, it's just so pretty. And most cookware and appliances are made with forever chemicals. And our place is a mission driven female [00:12:00] founder company that has created a line of products that are made without PFAS and PTFE, which is Teflon. In fact, the EU is prohibiting PFAS in 2025.

And our place has always led the charge in this matter. Beautiful, durable, toxin free ceramic coating for safe, healthy cooking. Um, most recently I got their stylish air fryer. I'm obsessed. It's small. It doesn't take up a lot of space. My husband was saying, you can't get an air fryer, Gabby. No, it's going to take up too much space.

Boom. Enter our place. It's tiny. It's gorgeous. It's the only air fryer that you need ever. It is so good. And so my friends. With 75,005 star reviews, this is clearly a brand that's doing it right.

Let's bring our first guest in. Let's jump in there. Hi Lisa. Hi. How are you doing, girl? I applied for a job on a whim. I long story short, got the job after, you know, over a month's process, my current company counter offered and matched. And I received a third offer from another job with a higher salary for an amazing position.

And I know how incredibly lucky I am and how that doesn't happen a lot. And I'm so happy that that even happened, but I was asking for signs along the way. And whenever I asked for a sign, I get them. And I was asking for a sign for my final decision and I didn't get it. And now I feel like I made the complete wrong decision for myself.

So [00:14:00] when I answered the phone to tell the job that I was going to stay at my current job, I immediately felt deflated and now I just feel uninspired. So Lisa, you decided to stay at your other job. At my current position. When they fought for you, they fought for you. They fought for me really, really hard, yeah.

And what is it about the feeling of when you turned down the other job? What was the feeling? Gutted. Completely gutted. Why? I felt like I didn't listen to myself and that I was on the verge of something new and challenging and it's so exciting and this was my chance to do that and I feel like I just let it go.

When you said yes to the job that you, to the current job and you decided to stay there, what was the feeling? I feel like I had to talk myself into it. And what was the part of you that felt like [00:15:00] you needed to talk yourself into it? of staying and making what seems like something that is Something I've been doing seem new again.

What was the reason you decided to stay? To see through the products that I'm on and see through all of the change that we've been making. And honestly, when I picked up the phone, And said it out loud that I was saying I couldn't even believe myself saying it. Like it was as if I could hear myself saying like no.

All right, let me ask you this. Is there a possibility of calling back the other job to see if it's still available? I literally emailed them this morning saying I would love to keep in touch You know over the course of the year and see how things evolve because that's what she said last night I already told them that I would stay.

Listen, if you're having these strong sensations, I would advise you to, to really trust the feelings because. We know something is a hell [00:16:00] yes when we feel it in our body. Yeah. And that was the second way that we know our manifestation is on the way, is to feel that, that vibration now. You definitely are a super attractor because you're just, you know, calling it in and calling it in and it's all coming to you, which is excellent.

And that's, you know, that's, that's a blessing and a curse because now you have to make decisions. Right. But I really would recommend, Lisa, that you just call that woman up and you just say to her, You know, I'm feeling like a little disconnected from my decision and I'm wondering if the offer still stands.

And if she says yes, then there's your answer. And you will just generously call back your employer and say, you know, when I made that call. I felt a lot of it in my body and I just want you to know how much I appreciate and value that you fought for me and everything that you brought to the table. But I, I think that I really do need to make this move.

As you can imagine, it's been a really hard decision for me to make. Been incredibly hard. I've had, listen, I'm an employer, right? And I've had people come to me a year ago, an employee of mine came to me and she said, I just got this offer and it's, it's, it's more money. And. [00:17:00] And you know, I have to take it.

And then we were all like, Oh no, she's going to leave. But instead of letting her just leave, we just came back to her and said, Wait, what if we just gave you more money? Like, what if we just made you the same, a better offer than that one? And, and she's been with us and she was like, Great. I really didn't want to leave.

I just wanted, I just needed more money. She wasn't comfortable asking for it. We were. And so we fought for her and she came back, right? So, and then in the end, it was, had we just been like, oh, whatever, she just wants to leave, we wouldn't have this incredible employee that's been growing so beautifully with us.

And she wouldn't have the job that she actually wanted in the first place. So, I don't think there's, this is like a 24 hour, you know, changeover. Your sign is clear. Your feelings, your feelings are the sign, okay? So, don't worry about what the universe is delivering you and all that, fine, fine, fine. But more importantly, the feeling is the sign.

I would just give the woman a call. Hang up on me right now. Pick up the phone and call her. Well, or really, meditate first and just be sure that you're really grounded in it. [00:18:00] If we were to flip a coin right now, heads is the job you turned down, tails is the current job, okay? You got that? Mm hmm. And we flip the coin, and we're on tails.

How do you feel? Like, I'm missing out on something that could bring me something, a better feeling than I have right now. Feel disappointed? In myself. Disappointed in yourself. Okay, so let's say that you get the heads. Let's, let's flip the coin and you get heads. How do you feel? I mean, like my smile right now is even.

Yeah, you just lit the whole place up. You lit the whole room up. Okay, so hang up on me right now, Lisa. Call that woman. Say, listen, it's been 24 hours. I slept on it. I'm really thinking I made the wrong choice. Is the offer still standing? Go back right now. Okay. And then she'll show you. If it is, then it's meant to be.

If it's not, then it's not supposed to be. All right, Lisa. Go call her now. Thank you. Goodbye, Lisa. Get back on after. Get back on after you call her. I want to hear the whole thing. If you really do, if you do call her and talk to her and you get back on, please put it in the chat. I want you to come back. I will.

I will. Because don't worry about the other job. You know, if you let go of that other job, [00:19:00] just trust that's what's of the highest and best for them. You are so welcome, sweetheart. Thank you. All right. Who's next? Hello. Hi. Oh my God. I was not expecting this. Where are you? I'm at work. You're at work. I love it.

You guys are just at the desk coming out of the shower or whatever it is. Hi, Holly, sweetheart. That's your name. Holly. Nice to meet you, sweetie. I was on like last year in October, so this is amazing. Yeah. I guess I kind of have a couple of things. One, I, I'm a paralegal with a criminal defense firm. And so it's, it's not my ideal job.

It can be very draining reading some of the things that the people go through. I'm not going to say anything that's triggering or anything like that, but it can take a lot out of you. And [00:20:00] I've been trying to manifest kind of a writing career, I guess, for the last, I guess I put out in the universe, that's something I wanted to do for like 10 years.

And I've gotten to the point that I have like a book outline, but it's kind of hard to keep the faith that when I keep trying to manifest the same things year after year, And it doesn't always feel like anything is happening or getting closer and it's, it's frustrating and it just feels like I'm just going to be stuck here forever.

Turning your s around, Holly. Here we go. Let's turn this around. Okay. So, Holly Love, you are currently in the first sign that the universe is guiding you, which is the driftwood. You have a desire, you have a book outline, and you are now currently on with a book that best selling author whose book is about to come out.

Instead of seeing that as, Oh, Gabby's done that. I can't do that. I want you to right now see this [00:21:00] as driftwood. This is the universe saying, Oh, you're getting closer to your dream. You're getting closer to your dream. This is, this is a perfect example of driftwood. You with me? Yeah. So you're getting closer to your dream, Holly.

And you're also getting advice from me. So here's your, here's your advice. So many of the greatest books have come out of a side hustle. And sometimes we have a desire and we want to change our career path or we want to do something creative or we want to bring something to life, but we also pay the bills with another job.

Mm hmm. As long as the time that we put into that other desire, that side hustle, that book, whatever it is, is filled with joy, is filled with inspiration, is filled with excitement even if it's 20 minutes a day. Or 20 minutes a week, it will have a powerful impact, period. So people think, oh, I don't have time because I have my other job.

You have weekends off, I'm imagining, right? Right. You have some nights maybe [00:22:00] where you'd be like on the TV, but you maybe could be just like scribbling some visions or getting some ideas down. Yeah? I have plenty of time. I'm just not. using it for the best. Great. Okay, great. So here's the advice. Create time that is uninterruptible.

I want you to be uninterruptible. When you decide to use the free time that you've expressed, you even have, you have it. That's excellent. Doesn't have to be every corner of free time that you do have. It could be deciding that 30 minutes a week you're devoting or 30 minutes a day, whatever feels good to you in your body.

You're devoting and committing to your writing practice. Okay. And be uninterruptible so that that inspiration can flow and just add up the small actions towards the bigger dream. The idea that this other job or career is in the way of your desire is only a storyline that you've [00:23:00] created. Okay. You can choose to say, you know what?

My writing is actually reprieve from my job. My writing is an opportunity to release that and get my brain into the creative capacity rather than the left brain's logic and reason. That's, it's an opportunity for me to exercise a different part of my brain and exercise a different part of my hobbies and to get going with it.

Release the outcome, knowing that if you're in the joyful process of creating, that you are manifesting. You already did get the driftwood today. You got some serious driftwood. You're here with me. Take my suggestions, then feel the good feelings. Stay specifically guided in that moment of the uninterrupted time to be creative and turn that story around.

Decide something new right now, Holly. Decide that that feeling of, Oh, I'm not going to [00:24:00] get, you know, there because I've got this other job. The other job is paying your bills and creating freedom and creating financial security and giving you a job. that mental space so that you can have the free time that you've said you have free time.

I don't know a lot of lawyers that have free time. The fact that you have the free time to do the creative work, just say, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, universe, for all this abundance. I'm so pumped. What a blessing. Yeah. Okay. You're right. I know. You came here so that I could be right. I'm just kidding.

Ha ha ha ha ha. That's so, so classic. Jimmy Blue. Do you agree, Jimmy Blue? Saying, okay. Say bye, Holly. Holly. You got it girl. You also got your drift word. There you go. Thank you. Love. What a good one. What a good one.

Who's next? Hi, Gabby. Hi, Kayla. I, last night, just surrendered a few thoughts to the universe that was just putting me in a negative state. I just needed to release it and when I saw your email this morning that said, are you in need of your dose of spiritual inspiration, I was just like, they heard me.

Like, they heard me. So my question for you is that. The past week or two, I've been in that, that state of just that energy and that buzz and, and feeling so great. And I really, this year, set in my intentions to just let go of all the outcomes. And [00:30:00] I have been in that buzz state of feeling so great and just listening to you daily.

My question is, when you get into those ebbs and flows, like, I was at such, such a high and now this week, outside circumstances of feeling sick, just getting so low, like, I, I'm having such a hard time getting back into that buzz and if you have any advice of, of the ebbs and flows and I just, I'm like, so wanting to get back into that buzz feeling.

When you're feeling sick, Kayla, is there anything that you kind of like, like about being sick? Like, you know, watching Netflix or like lying in bed or drinking some broth or like, is there anything about it? It's like, Oh, this is kind of nice and turn, turn the world off for a minute. Yeah. I would say just being able to relax.

Yes. And I know that that for me, like I'm needing to surrender, but I have this really big next part of my life coming up this weekend. And, [00:31:00] and I was just like, Well, I know like I know I'm looking at it like, okay, what is the universe teaching me? So Kayla, here's the deal. You forgetting what's happening this weekend, forgetting what you think should be happening.

You want to feel good. You want to be in the flow of feeling good. So even when hits the fan, And you get sick or something is off or you're getting sort of some kind of redirection. I want you to show up for it with a positive attitude and with the energy of what can I enjoy out of this. Here's an example.

I went on my first vacation of over two years. I was in lockdown. I was hiding. I was, I was doing IVF. I was pregnant. Then I lost the baby and I was like, you know what? I'm going on vacation. And so I sent my ass on vacation with my friends, we had the best week ever, it was the first time I was on a plane in two years, it was amazing, couldn't have been more [00:32:00] perfect.

We get on the airplane to head home, we all have children, I have my baby kitten, we all need to get home, and they ask us to deplane. After sitting on the plane, on the tarmac for two hours, they're like, get off the plane, we need to fix something, maybe we'll tape it up, I mean it was just this whole drama.

We spent several more hours in the airport. But when I was on that plane, I said, out loud in front of everybody. First of all, I was like ready to give a motivational talk. I was about to like tell everybody on the plane to calm down. The first thing I said when my girlfriends were all texting each other on the plane, we were sitting in different seats.

And I said, well, let's have some fun. Let's make this fun. Rather than calling JetBlue and calling around and freaking out, I said, let's actually just go with the flow and have some fun. We are out of control here. I even said the serenity prayer, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

So we had some great fun in the airport. We hung out, we got some presents, we did some yoga on our yoga mats in the airport. We [00:33:00] just made it fun. I genuinely believe that our lack of resistance definitely supported the outcome, which was that we ultimately did get on the airplane. We landed at two o'clock in the morning.

I wound up having to drive another two hours. I didn't get into my bed until four thirty in the morning. But I got there and it was actually a lot easier than I thought. And I slept the four hours on the plane so I could drive for the other two hours. My point of this story, it sounds like a totally disconnected, but it's totally connected, is that I turned something that would have otherwise created a lot of resistance in my body, a lot of negative energy, a lot of pushback on the universe.

Why is this happening? Why is my great event, my trip being derailed? into something that was actually really joyful, easy to move through. It added on these opportunities for more conversation with friends, whatever it was, we made the best of it. So I'm going to ask you right now, what can you do to make the best of this experience right now?

So you can stay in the positive momentum that you've already established. Because the bottom line is, is that being a super attractor doesn't mean that this doesn't hit the fan. It doesn't mean [00:34:00] that things don't derail your high vibes. But it means that in any given moment, you are tuning into the part of you that has the capacity to realign with feeling good.

So what can you do today to realign with feeling good even though you're feeling sick? Be with myself and, and be in stillness. I mean, I feel so misaligned because I haven't been doing my morning routines and things like that. Excellent. Do it. Go girl. You've got some freedom. You've got some space. Use this time wisely.

How does that feel to make that commitment to yourself right now? It feels good. I know it's what I'm missing and I feel like I just want to Lock the door and be with myself and that's definitely what I need. Listen, the secret to feeling good is to just let it all go and to trust that there's a plan better than your own.

I feel this like energy on my shoulders and when I got that [00:35:00] email, I was like, I'm just hoping Gabby can help me like release. Like, I feel like I just need to like cry and be with myself. So when I ask you about the part of you that now can just relax and just be at ease, Just maybe do some of your journaling and your meditation or just watch some Netflix.

How's that feel? Feels good. Feels like the release is already on its way. Hey, I am complete here. We are good. Go Kayla! Do nothing. Go do nothing, please. Okay. Bye baby. Okay, who's next? Hello. Hi, Ashley. Oh my goodness. I am so excited. This is my buddy for the day. Hey, buddy. Hi, little man. Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for having me on.

So happy you're here. Hi, Ashley. So I just have to say it's been less than a year you had me on. Yeah, I know your face. I've seen you here, baby. You're [00:36:00] back. She's back. We have a retaker. My life has done a complete 180 and I just like, I cannot believe where I'm at. Judgment detox. It's literally saved and changed my life in so many ways.

I'm not going to cry. Like seriously, so many good things. And I feel like the manifestation, like this, I just finished your challenge again. It was one of those things where I said, I need to do this for myself. And I'm sitting here going. I feel like I need some driftwood in the sense that one last time.

I didn't have a job now. This guy is my job and it is so much fun. I've never felt more supported. My next thing though. I do know like it is unfortunately not enough to sustain with just the one job. I will need to get a second one. I've been really reluctant, not reluctant. I've been really choosy with my second job because I feel so stable in this one that I'm choosing something that will be fun.

And I think I don't want to sit around and wait too long. But I want to find something sooner than later. That will continue to support me if that makes [00:37:00] sense. So you're a nanny for this little guy. I am Yeah, so it's been almost a year. How old is that little man 20 months and he's the cutest thing ever He's literally the cutest thing i've ever seen in my entire life Oh my god, like I feel so supported in this job having an hr team plus his family like Everything I didn't have in my old job that I was fired from is now present in this new job And I just feel so grateful every time I think of that And again, like I said, I do need some more income in my own, in my um, life and I'm looking at what those opportunities could be.

Okay. Okay. Okay. So you've got this, what you have right now is working. You love this little guy. You look like he, he looks like he loves you cause he's just sitting and chilling. He is just looking at you like, Oh my God, I love her. And you know, there's, there's a lot of abundance in your career right now as a nanny.

That's like a very abundant career. One, because you are deeply needed. So, you have a very, very, [00:38:00] very valuable, important, and admirable career path that you are on at this moment. And so I want you to, rather than get into a place of looking or seeking or, you know, feeling into like, I need more, I want you to celebrate what is.

Now, that doesn't mean that you don't stay open to job opportunities, that you don't put your resume out, that you don't speak up and say, Hey, I need more hours or whatever it is. But most importantly, be in the, in the joy and the excitement of this great abundant job that you have. Because when we celebrate what we do have, we create more of what we want.

My intuition is that the more you celebrate and bring joy into this career with this young guy. This little boy, little 20 month older, the more likely it is that they will either one offer you more hours or that you will get another nannying job or something will just fly right into your lap. I'm not saying that you don't take spiritually aligned action and show up for what it is that you desire.

But the most important thing you do right now, Ashley, is you stay in the energy and the momentum and the positive vibration of [00:39:00] what it is that you're feeling right now with this job. Have as much fun as possible with that little guy and expect miracles. You got me. Yeah, I do. I hear you. That's my answer.

Okay. Amazing. We are complete. so much for having me. You're welcome, my love. You are so welcome. So we are clear now. We have our three signs to know that our manifestation is on the way. We have our driftwood. which many of our listeners and callers got today. They got their driftwood. We have the feeling, the vibration that Ashley mentioned, that high vibration of just being in that frequency, of feeling so good with what we do have.

And when we really celebrate that vibration, We create more of what we want. So being in that high vibration and then the actual signs from the universe, we have a whole podcast about asking the universe for signs. You can go back and listen to that. And in any of the other manifesting episodes of really the secret to the law of attraction, you can go deeper with this work.

But when we really tap into those three signs of the universe is indeed [00:40:00] guiding us, we can really feel into the certainty. And remember that beautiful message from A Course in Miracles. Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and wait without anxiety. It's my hope that these methods, the methods throughout all of the podcasts that we've done before, that the methods in my new book, Happy Days, that is out now to really help guide you and ground you in the truth that whatever it is that you need is already with you.

That when you feel good, that when you focus on your wellbeing and your personal growth and you ground yourself in the energy of joy, that what you need is already with you. You don't have to go out there and find anything.

You just have to return to what you already have. So that's the end of our show. So glad we were able to join here together. Leave your review in Apple. Leave a message for me.
