141. You Can’t Manifest Your Goal Body—But Here’s What Actually Works

👑 JOIN THE ACADEMY No more circling Mondays on your calendar. It’s time to demand more from your body, your confidence, and your life—starting now. Goal Body Academy is the high-vibe community for women who are done settling for basic and ready to level up for good. This isn’t for women who want to “try.” It’s for women ready to show up, go all in, and finally get what they came for. Inside, you get the proven framework to lose fat, build unshakable confidence, and create a body you’re proud to live in—plus direct answers in monthly Q&As, and an accountability room where results are expected. Feeling incredible in your skin is the new standard. Doors are open for a limited time! This week, I am going all in on the buzzword you keep seeing everywhere: manifestation . Let’s talk about the real power (and the real limits) of mindset, vision, and energy—because while I am all about manifesting big things (hello, Dave, my house, and building this business from scratch!), you and I both know the universe isn’t going to do the push-ups for you. If you want real results, you need more than just positive vibes. You need a plan, aligned action, and a willingness to show up—even when it’s not sexy or easy. Here’s what you’ll get in this episode: My personal stories about manifesting key milestones in my life (yes, including my man, our home, and my business) Why mindset and energy matter—but why you can’t just vision-board your way to a goal body The importance of checking in with your goals, especially as summer slows down and routines kick back in How to use manifestation as your launchpad, not your finish line The science behind why visualization works, and how to use it to overcome obstacles and stay motivated The truth about taking messy action (and why it always beats waiting for “perfect”) A mid-year reset, with actionable tips to help you walk through the door that manifestation opens Bookmark this episode if you need a permission slip to dream big, but also a nudge to get moving.
