How 5 Days in Loans Transformed My View on Sales

Old school sales techniques Ugh. Old school sales techniques. Overcoming objections. Convincing people they want something they don’t really want. Wounded masculine on the hunt, getting high off dopamine-chasing and closing. There’s a reason we all hate being sold to— and a reason so many of us hate doing sales. (Yes, me absolutely included.) What I’ve been telling myself The stories I tell myself about sales have landed in the space of “I only want to sell to people who already value what I have. I don’t want to convince anyone to want what I’m offering,” etc etc. And yes, those things are true.  I’ve hired coaches who teach how to completely manipulate people into buying through hypno techniques, camera angles, trance induction and so many fucked up things that prey on people’s unconscious responsiveness rather than getting a conscious and clear yes.  I have worked for people who try to teach me to sell the way they do by overcoming objections, turning a  “maybe, but I...

Manifestation Is Not a Luxury — It’s a Response to Oppression

  There’s a part of me that says when there are atrocities in the world, I should stop. I should stop talking about manifestation I should stop speaking to hopeful outcomes I should stop talking to people about how they could change their individual lives because, after all, we’re seeing everything from genocide to police violence to climate collapse This part of me is very convincing. It’s also in the collective consciousness. I feel it. I feel the powerful projection. My past response to this has been to just keep on trucking along anyway with some shame and guilt in my heart. “Not sure anyone cares about this right now, but people still want help with stuff and I’m still here,” said in a very small voice to myself. Then, there are the truer parts of myself that understand something much deeper.  When you are paralyzed by what you see - whether it’s across the ocean or a state over or in your literal back yard - you have lost all of our power already.  Frozen in fear an...

Purity isn’t the path to manifestation

Your manifestations get to hold you unconditionally. Getting angry, feeling petty and slipping into grief for the loss of your last relationship ARE NOT signs that you’re off track.   In fact, they point you directly to the standards you’ve struggled to claim for yourself; they show you your desires and where your energy yearns to flow.  Your next income level, soul journey trip and first class flight want to meld with you as much as you with it.  It’s not your anger or your grief or your mess that holds them back. It’s the rejection of your anger, your grief and your mess.  It’s the self-punishment. It’s the buried idea that you have to be spotless, silent, “good” enough before you’re worthy. (It’s the sneaky, stale Christian-virtue programming masquerading as ‘high vibe’ spiritual advice.) Your desires want you as badly as you want them. They’ve been hunting you through the ethers. They  love  that you’re furious and unwilling to settle. They  love ...

My Petty Crimes Submission

 The least consequential crime: Hello! Love the pod. I'm on my very last published episode and can't wait for more to come out! I have a crime that is possibly lower stakes than "Betty's Bootcamp." This crime took place on Labor Day 2019 in Phoenix, AZ. The location is relevant and doesn't need to be anonymized.  There's me, Lisa your protagonist/the defendant  There's Maggie, the antagonist/plaintiff There's an eye witness, Lorna There's my defense lawyer, also me, Mickey Let me set the scene. On Labor Day, 2019, Maggie, Lorna and I decided to wake up early and go paddle boarding on the river - upstream - at around 7:00am. As this is a legit workout, while we were there one of us shouted "you know what would be good right now? Bloody Marys!"  Because this was obviously an incredible idea, after SUPing we set out to a brewery (sorry Griff, if you're reading this) for brunch and delicious Bloody Marys right by Maggie's townhome...

Your Manifestation Aftercare

Image
It happened! That surprise $20k dropped into your account or You took that trip you’ve been dreaming about for the last 7 months!  Then… You go into overdrive about all the bills you need to pay and you allocate every cent in the first 12 days Or You get home and need to recover for two days because you wore yourself out and traveling is so hard on you. These are the signs you’re signaling to yourself these new, big manifestations are not safe. And guess what? If your body/nervous system deems something as unsafe, you’re not going to want to repeat it anytime soon and you’ll unconsciously sabotage yourself. What to do….Signal Safety.  This is one of the very first tools you learn inside Ecstatic Manifestation. It is maybe the most important tool as you build the new life you’re designing (especially if it seems like a significant change).  Once your manifestation has been conjured, it’s time for self care (really, all along the way, but people think once the thing has arr...

Karmic Retribution or Universal Expansion?

Image
There are people who see calamities as karmic retribution. I’m still one of them sometimes. In the fall of 2023, I taught a class on Money Manifestation. The thing about the work I do is that it’s healing. It does follow intention and supports the objective a person is seeking, but in order to do that, it cleans out the other shit in the way.  Myself and the people in the group let go of deep addictions through that class- smoking, alcohol, workaholism. We each did have some money shifts (small to large), but so much of what we experienced was a shift on the inside and our relationship to money and the things that ruled us.  One of my biggest shifts, in relation to money, was significantly letting go of the feeling that when money isn’t supporting me the way I imagine, I’m being punished. This deep victim story rose up in my life every time I had a setback until the end of 2023 in that class. It was a paternal feeling and it was STRONG. Even though I didn’t specifically work o...
