60. Manifesting with the New Moon aka How I Simplified Manifesting to Actually See Results

For a long time, I thought manifesting was either a scam… or something everyone else understood except me.Vision boards.Rigid routines.“High vibe only” rules.Calendars and schedules I couldn’t stick to.And zero real results.In this episode, I’m sharing how I stopped trying to force manifestation through productivity culture… and started aligning with something that actually works for me: the New Moon.We talk about:Why manifesting wasn’t working (and how I started thinking it was a joke)The pressure to “do it right” and why that killed my momentumReleasing the calendar year mindset and aligning with moon cycles insteadThe science and symbolism of the moon (yes, it literally moves the tides)Why variety matters in a spiritual practice (especially as a Manifesting Generator)The origin story of my moon manifesting book — and what I misunderstood back thenThe hard truth: the practice wasn’t the problem… my lack of action wasWhat shifted when I combined surrender with actual movementThe Delulu Challenge and how changing my perspective changed my resultsUsing Human Design and self-connection to choose beliefs on purposeGetting into the energy of what I want (yes, including Dreamlight Valley parallels)The ER story that reframed everythingThe New Moon ritual I just completedAnd the results from the entire lunar phase that are honestly freaking me outIf you’ve ever:Felt like manifestation works for other people but not youStruggled to stay consistent with rituals or routinesWondered if you’re “doing it wrong”Or wanted a simpler, more aligned way to call things inThis episode will land.Because the magic isn’t in the aesthetic ritual.It’s in:surrenderself-awarenessaligned actionand actually being willing to believe something differentThe New Moon isn’t about being mystical for the sake of it.It’s about resetting your energy.Releasing the “shoulds.”Choosing your beliefs.And taking small, embodied action.Something is clearly working — and in this episode, I break down what changed.Next week: we’re talking Full Moon energy and what gets revealed when you actually follow through.If this episode resonated, come say hi on Instagram!
