129. Mindset & Manifestations Part 2
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
Wednesday Jul 17, 2024
I always wanted a life where I could make more money and work less. Coming from a society that set me up for the rat race, plus growing up in poverty, made that feel like a ridiculous desire. How dare I! But I never gave up.
Today, I work a couple of days a week, or a few hours a day, and I’m making more money than I ever have. Plus, I feel safe, like I’ve finally let God, Creator, Universe take care of me.
Here’s what I did🤫🤭
👉🏽 I stopped telling the story of the struggle. I couldn’t keep trying to prove my limits because of my circumstances. When you tell the story and look at your circumstances as proof, you’re actually calling more of the limit in.
👉🏽 I leaned into faith, even when I didn’t know what that meant. I had to re-choose over and over again to have complete faith in a higher energy of God, Creator, Universe, even when I couldn’t see the proof. I believed and had faith that if I could imagine it, it’s possible.
👉🏽 I realized I had to be in for the long haul and not just look for a quick fix, because it’s the quick fix that can f@ck you up. Nothing happens overnight. Everything has to happen in your energy first and then come out into your real-world experience, and that takes time.
👉🏽 I had to stop taking score and expecting to create with cause and effect, or doing a thing to get a thing. That means really, like really, detaching from the outcome. Again, your circumstances don’t matter. Letting go, surrendering is next-level self-energy!
🤚🏽 I learned how to really reclaim my power back, in any area I chose to focus, recognizing that I am a (co-)creator in this life experience and I’m here for a good time!
🫶🏽 If you are sick of wishing & hoping for your manifestations, but your doubt and circumstances are making you feel like you’re doing something wrong, and you are looking for a space to be massively supported 🙌🏽 so you can create on another level, 🧠 rewire your mindset and become an ✨energetic match to your audacious desires, come to my Next Level Self Masterclass. Put "Masterclass" in the comments and I’ll send you the info!
This episode is all about my journey and what is happening next as I arrive to my next level!

1 in 6 women in Canada experience infertility and this is the story of Anna’s journey navigating the health system, IVF and relationships! She recognizes that the end outcome is not the same for everyone so please listen with care as this message is meant to be supportive to everyone who listens.
Anna Almojuela and her husband struggled with infertility from 2018 to 2022, with the darkest periods taking place during the pandemic. After dedicating 2022 to IVF, she is now facing new challenges as a first time mom, to her rainbow baby, Elyanna Amavi. Although the many years of struggles paid off for her family, she is very aware that a baby isn’t a guaranteed outcome for many others who face infertility.
In September of 2023, Anna began her fertility advocacy and created an Instagram page called @RainbowBabyEly as a safe platform to share their story, help educate and spread awareness.
Drawing from her own journey and experience, Anna strives to use her voice to combat stigma and provide comfort to those navigating similar challenges - aiming to foster a community where individuals feel supported, understood, and safe.
Thank you so much, Anna, for being so generous with your time and your story, in an effort to share your advocacy so that women and families no longer feel alone in their journey.
