The problem with a lot of what you see on Instagram and with "spiritual influencers" in general (nothing wrong at all with influencers -- it's a legit job -- but let's just call it what it is), is that their "insights" or "lessons" are void of nuance and complexity.

They simplify things that deserve complexity.

And more than anything they're usually white women bragging about how they "manifested" their lifestyle, their clothes, their travels, their husband, their baby, their at-home infrared sauna, their high-tech air filtration system for their dog that cured his allergies, etc. without impressing upon their audience that their whiteness is a main ingredient of that manifestation.

You'll never hear me say: "I manifested my apartment because I journal, practice gratitude, and cultivate a relationship with my spirit guides!"

While I do partake in those things, the way I "manifested" my apartment is by being a cishet, white woman from an a upper-middle class background, who has a bachelor's degree, benefits from gentrification, redlining, ongoing colonization, is neurotypical and able-bodied, and I really could go on.

Living in a racialized capitalist society means that we've all experienced trauma: intergenerationally, societally, interpersonally, culturally, and systemically.

Manifesting your dreams is extremely difficult if you’re in a state of trauma. Trauma causes us to create narratives in our minds that then lead us into habits and behaviors that might not serve us in the long-term. In order to manifest the lives and financial well-being we most desire we'll need to do more than squirrel away a portion of our paycheck. We have to learn how to heal from these harmful narratives, truly re-write them, and re-wire our brains.

It's true that we are all vibrating energy, but there’s this vague pressure to “vibrate higher” and what the fuck does that even mean?! How do you measure that?

If we don’t address the root, which is trauma, then we’ll just be causing more harm to our psyches and systems. We won't be able to create the emotional and financial well-being we all deserve.

This workshop is about 90 minutes and will help you develop a more nurturing, grounded, and REAL relationship with manifestation that you can implement immediately. I'll be sharing some facts about how trauma and neuroscience play a role and how to heal, the key to creating deeper resonance in your life, and more gems I've learned from becoming a certified Trauma of Money facilitator, so that you can be an active agent in your manifestation process, without any feelings of guilt or shame.

The first hour is a presentation on the material and content, and the last 30 minutes is me introducing Healing Through the Second House! Healing Through the Second House is an immersive, group coaching program that allows us to dive deeper into the manifestation process by healing through the themes of the 2nd House (money, personal assets, skills, talents, gifts, and self-worth).
