After sharing my story, I found myself asking a question that kept coming up: Did I accidentally manifest getting laid off? I had been asking for more freedom, more time, more impact, and more opportunities to create... so was this unexpected ending somehow connected to the things I'd been calling in?Then a friend asked me something that sent me down an entirely different rabbit hole: "Are we supposed to be careful what we ask for?" This was so interesting to me, I just had to share this with you! In this episode, we're exploring why life sometimes feels like it's giving us the exact opposite of what we want, why we may be tested before our manifestations take place, and why the thing frustrating you right now might actually be the opportunity you've been asking for all along.Connect with Meg:Free 7-day trial to unlimited coaching tools!Follow Meg on InstagramFollow The Create Your Fate Podcast on InstagramTake your FREE Enneagram TestSubscribe to Meg's newsletterDisclaimer
