The Manifesting Latina
Charting a Path of Resilience and Wellness with Rita Soledad
When life's challenges test our faith and push our limits, where do we find the strength to persevere? This episode takes you through a raw exploration of spirituality, health, and the transformative power of visualization.
Transitioning from a math teacher to a self-care and money coach, Rita-Soledad is breaking barriers and guiding others to do the same.
In a heartfelt conversation, Soledad shares her experiences growing up amidst gun and gang violence, facing challenges as the only STEM Latina math major at her college, and establishing the Wealth Para Todos Academy. Their story is a beacon of hope, demonstrating that adversity can forge a path to empowerment and success.
Soledad opens up about her battle with illness and how visualizing wellness helped her overcome physical constraints, leading to major lifestyle changes after a celiac disease diagnosis. Our discussion also touches on the moments that shape our personal growth, from managing PTSD to the healing support of a wellness coach, offering listeners a chance to reflect on their catalysts for change.
We also delve into the art of parenting with intuition, discussing how supporting a transgender child can reshape our own paths to authenticity and purpose. Soledad's insights on intentional manifestation, gratitude, and energy-shifting techniques provide practical advice for anyone seeking to align their life with their soul's calling.
Join us for this moving exploration of life's twists and turns, and be inspired to manifest your own journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.

This will be the first for Season 4, and their name is Rita Soledad Fernandez-Baldino, a queer Mexican American, a former math teacher turned self-care and money coach.
Speaker 1:As the CEO of Wealth Para Todos, Soledad is determined to make sure that more BIPOC women and LGBTQ folk learn how to take care of themselves, to financial independence, so they can work because they want to, not because they have to. Who doesn't want that? I know I want that. So they teach people how to create and follow a financial plan that prioritizes self-care and puts them back on track to becoming work optional Disclaimer. Soledad Wealth Para Todos community is also my money coach. I'm excited to be part of the program as well. I cannot wait for you all to hear their story on today's podcast. So let's go ahead and get started. Thank you so much for being here with us, and I always like to start with giving my audience a background to who they're listening to. So tell me about your family background. Where did you grow up and who did you live with?
Speaker 2:Hi everybody. I am a queer Mexican American. I grew up in Los Angeles with a single mother, but I was supported or raised a lot by my grandparents. My grandparents supported my mother a lot and in high school I spent all of high school living with my abuela and my abuela and my tia, and so I kind of moved around because my mother it was hard. We grew up in a neighborhood where there was a lot of gun violence and a lot of poverty and gang violence and so my mom needed a lot of support from the family and luckily we were all pretty close to each other so I spent a lot of time with them and I have an older sister and a younger brother and now I live in LA.
Speaker 1:Still, what else would you like to share about yourself with the audience? And I gotta say that sounds rough to grow up in all of that.
Speaker 2:So if you want to share anything about that, yeah, I think it definitely shaped me a lot in terms of what I thought I could achieve in my life. I definitely grew up thinking like I don't know if I'm going to live past 18 because I had lost friends to gun violence and there was people in my circle who had been shot. So I just strongly said like I don't know, I don't know if I'm going to live past 18. So it's very yolo.
Speaker 2:All my life I wasn't much of a planner. Planning just felt very inaccessible and unrealistic because I thought you just don't know. I lived in a neighborhood where there was just so much uncertainty and the idea of planning for the future just was very inaccessible to me. And you know it's interesting because now here I am, you know, a money and self care coach and I help create financial plans for people to retire early, and so now I plan and make these financial plans for 15 years from now or plus. And so the journey of going from you can't plan because you don't know what's going to happen in life to you. Know it's good to plan. It's really become, I think, the beginning of a lot of my manifestations.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you know, as I've watched or not, that you know, but I know that I've been watching you and I would have never known, based on just the way your personality shines, that you had so much adversity growing up. I can't even imagine what it feels like to feel like, oh, I don't even know if I'll live to 18. And then you know, I'm sure there's a lot of shifts that had to happen to get you to this place, but that's one of the reasons I love to share stories with our community, so that they can see they're not alone. Well, I didn't grow up with that kind of violence. That did grow up in poverty in a different way. So share with us any of your educational or work life achievements.
Speaker 2:So I graduated from a high school that had a 54% dropout rate and people did not go to college Like I think our college like just applying to college was like around less than 3%, and that included community colleges. We weren't even talking about like four year colleges. So I graduated from my high school like that and I applied to nine schools and I got accepted to all except the one I really wanted to go to, which was NYU. So I got accepted to eight of the nine with full scholarships and I ended up going to a small liberal arts school here in my neighborhood because I was dealing with health issues. My health issues started at 16. So at 16 I was in a wheelchair because of my health issues and I never knew when I was going to get sick again. And because of that I was afraid. I was afraid to be too far away from home and get sick on my own. And so I went to the small liberal arts school in LA in order to like be close to home and because they also required you to live on campus and I really wanted to get out of my house.
Speaker 2:I grew up in a hardcore Mexican Catholic family. I was clear, you know. So I'm like really really far, really really hard to be in that environment constant. I definitely wanted my freedom. And then at that school I ended up dropping out, after dealing with all sorts of adversity, as the only STEM Latina, math major at the school, and I was going to school with all wealthy white guys and they made it very uncomfortable for me to be in the class and I struggled. I struggled in terms of that because at my high school I was prom queen. I was well lifeless. I'm a peer. So all of a sudden, to be in an environment where I was being harassed was so unfamiliar to me and it was very uncomfortable. And then I kind of got to this point where I was like, or even after I talked to professors at administration and they're like look, this is what it's going to be like. And they were like this is what it's going to be like for the rest of your life, so get used to it. And I just had this thought of like, if I'm going to deal with discrimination, I might as well be dealing with discrimination at the school of my dreams. And so I decided to drop out of Occidental.
Speaker 2:I rolled to a community college. My mom dealt with all sorts of health issues at the time and I helped her pay her mortgage. So I dropped out of school again and I got a full, I got multiple full-time jobs and I was working, and I have full-time jobs, part-time jobs, multiple part-time jobs. But I was working 60 hours a week with multiple jobs in order to support my mom.
Speaker 2:And then I got to the point where I was offered a job to pay $15 an hour and I thought, oh, my goodness, I'm going to be rich. I'm going to be rich with this $15 an hour job. I get that job. And then I was like now I don't have to work multiple jobs, I could just focus on this $115 an hour job. And then they let me go. And I was like, yeah. So I remember it was Halloween and I was dressed to go to the club. When I said, you know, before I go to the club, I think I'm going to apply to go to NYU, and it was October 31st and by December 14th I had gotten accepted into NYU and by January 6th I moved to New York City and that's where I ended up getting my bachelor's and my master's.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, I can't even imagine it. And how old were you at that point? 20. 20. Oh come, yeah, and even without knowing it right, that was like your divine inspiration, your divine intervention of like this intuitive hit to. Let me do this Because I mean who's, who's applying to college right before going to the club on Halloween day In a leopard costume. Well, forever memorialized. If you'd have any pictures from that, I'm like thinking about all the random costumes, yeah, plus I think about Halloween.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:So then you were there and you finished Okay. While growing up, did you have any spiritual practices or beliefs that played a role in your manifesting journey that you remember?
Speaker 2:So I grew up Catholic and I was lucky in the sense that the Catholic churches that I went to did focus a lot more on spirituality versus like like on the passion.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So I never thought God didn't love me because I was queer. I was not something I thought. I definitely, definitely grew up thinking like God loves me. God loves me no matter what unconditional love comes from God, and I grew up believing in Jesus and the Virgen de Huonalupe and that going to church was something that we did every Sunday. I had to have my confirmation.
Speaker 2:However, I feel like my spirituality I was a question religion, starting in high school, and that was also around the same time that I got sick and was in a wheelchair and I remember my mom saying to me like you're questioning God, because I was like a biology yeah, we're really into biology and I had been taking AP biology at that time and so my mom was, like you're questioning God and now God is punishing you and that's why you're dealing with these health issues, and so that was like kind of the first time in my life where I was like you know, I was really unsure. I was really unsure in terms of spirituality and religion and faith and hope. You know, I was struggling physically. I didn't have internet at home, I didn't have a television at home, so I would spend these long days at home alone, bedridden and my mom would tell me to pray for me to get better. But it was also at the same time that I was like I'm not evolution and I wasn't sure if there was a God. But I remember laying down on my bed, looking outside of my window and really focusing on dreaming, dreaming about a different reality, and that felt very spiritual to me. That felt very full of a lot of faith and hope.
Speaker 2:And when I go to the doctors and they were struggling to figure out what was wrong with me now we know I have celiac disease. Back then we didn't know and they're struggling to figure out with me and my mom telling me, just like, accept a chair in a wheelchair. And I'm telling her, please take me to physical therapy. And she's like, oh, it's not even working, because I was in the wheelchair for a year and a half and I was so determined that I was going to walk and dance again, because I used to dance when I was in high school and I remember I would just spend time laying in bed dreaming about walking again and it was like I would imagine myself walking in with a certain outfit to the school dancer walking into my classroom when I get to return to high school.
Speaker 2:Because I even had to take a school leave and I just imagined myself walking and I would be at physical therapy on a treadmill struggling so much just to take steps because I was in so much pain. But in my mind I was imagining myself running and I just got really, really good about believing and seeing, imagining things that were not physically present in my life. So I would say that was like a big shift and I think over time I've gathered so much evidence that if you can imagine it, if you can dream it, think on the example, you could also achieve it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which is a visualization, right? You're just using a different word and I'm just thinking like you're visualizing without having the words for it, and that's how you were able to walk again. I can't even imagine that either. So you said celiac disease. Can you tell us a little bit more about that, because I know I'm not very familiar with it and what it does or causes?
Speaker 2:It's actually so simple. You just can't eat gluten because when you eat gluten, your body starts to attack itself. It's an autoimmune disorder. And so what would happen to me is I would eat, you know, a bandurce, or I would start eating just a pideo. Pideo is like a type of pasta, like a type of noodles, and if I ate too much of it then eventually I'd get sick and it would cause inflammation in my body and then with that inflammation it would be really hard for me to move and I'd also deal with nausea and just a lot of pain.
Speaker 2:They thought that I had fibromyalgia. They thought at different times, I had thyroid disorders. They thought I had rheumatoid disorders. Like there was always like I was going to all these doctors. They never really figured out what it was, and it wasn't until until recently 2019, when I got so sick that I had to be put on disability leave that I went. I changed my doctors and I started seeing doctors at UCLA Medical Center and they were like this looks like a gluten issue, stop eating gluten. But it was so hard for me to let go of.
Speaker 1:Like what do you?
Speaker 2:mean I can't eat bread, like my favorite thing is bread with butter, like what do you mean? I'm not supposed to eat pan lusen. You know I'm a sweets person, right, and for emotional reasons like I was an emotional, just like I was an emotional spender, I was also an emotional eater. I really struggled in terms of like holding space for all my emotions because of my lived experiences that I shared about in the beginning and you know, like managing PTSD. But because of that it was really really hard for me to let go. So I kind of let go of it for a little bit and I would get better and then I eat again and I just dealt with things going sick all the time until I met my wellness coach, naomi, and with her I was able to finally let go of gluten and now I just I just don't get sick.
Speaker 2:It's like crazy. It's crazy. I went so much in my life getting sick so quickly. If my kid sneezed, it was a matter of time before I was also sleep sneezing. If anyone around me was sick, I was always getting so sick and everyone was like, yeah, you know, you have a bad immune system, you have a bad this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it's. It's those shifts, little shifts, right, and it takes time, a couple of steps forward, a couple of steps back. And do you remember when you had a pivotal moment, or do you feel like it was like different areas of your life where you were beginning to kind of have these different shifts to get you to where you are right now?
Speaker 2:I think it like I could count the different moments in my life where I was like, okay, 16 being in a wheelchair was really hard for me 19, I had been in an abusive relationship and had an abortion. That was a huge shift in me, that part of the reason why I was like I'm not going to have, I'm not going to put up with bullshit anymore, and it's why I decided to leave Oxidown right. Then I moved to New York City. In New York City I again the people pleasing tendencies stayed with me and even though I was so far away from my family, it was very hard for me to to still not seek their approval and their validation.
Speaker 2:I get married at a young age because my family was like you can't, you can't live with someone unless you're married to them. So like, okay, go to court, got married. But then I ended that relationship and got a divorce from that and that was like another pivotal thing. And each of these experiences and I could like keep going with like moments where I was just like lights on, lights on right Each of those moments I had just a strong belief, like I just had this feeling in myself of I have to do something different and I was being told by outsiders people in my circle, family members, you know, people around me like no, you don't have to do something different, just stay here, stay in this path, follow this. You know this journey.
Speaker 2:And I was like no, no, no, no, no, like I just felt a strong pull to like 180 it and each of those times that I feel like you know, 180, 180, you keep doing all these turns, you end up in a different place, and that's where I'm at now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And this strong pull is like your own inner wisdom, right, your intuition that you don't have words for it at the time. This is like no, I know and this is not it. This is not what I need to be doing, this is not where I need to be, and so it sounds like those were a lot of your early manifesting experiences that weren't really as intentional, but obviously that intuition is still there. Can you tell us any of your most influential manifestations that you've experienced so far?
Speaker 2:So far I mean okay, so I'm 37. Like, how, how big is it that you want?
Speaker 1:Start with like a really big one, one that you were like I have 100% had faith when you started, because sometimes, to help everyone that's listening, sometimes you will be 1000% in into something that you want to do. And then you're in it, the energy trickles down and part of you is like, did I even make the right choice? But you kind of continue to keep grounding yourself back, to be like no, I did, my intuition was right. And then you know it unfolds and it's like a snowball, so anything like that where it's like okay, for sure, for sure, then it has to be the creation of wealth.
Speaker 2:but it's all of my business because I started wealth, but it's all of my business on Instagram, which was just a community that I wanted to talk the metal with and that started February 20, 2020. And which is like it's a lot of like angel numbers, right, like well, not necessarily angel number, but 2020, you know, that's kind of close there.
Speaker 2:So I that's the first time I posted on was but at the list. And by the end of the year I had people reaching out to me saying, hey, could you do a speaking engagement, can you lead a workshop? And I did that. And then the following year I had people saying like, yeah, do a speaking engagement over here and can you coach me? And I started to do a lot of freelance work in terms of financial education. But by October 2021, I had made $33,000.
Speaker 2:And as a freelancer, and I had just like saved all that money and I was like I don't know, I don't know if I can continue. Like just it felt like I was, it felt so unstructured, it felt so uncertain and I was like I had made some money, but it wasn't necessarily money that could contribute consistently to my family household. And so I had a recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn and I'm like we would love for you to manage our social media pages and a podcast for our financial company. And I was like okay. And they were like it's going to be $65,000. I said I wouldn't do it for less than six figures. They agree to pay me six figures to take care of it. To, you know, manage their social media.
Speaker 2:And then they said but you'll have to get rid of wealth, but it's those. You'll have to close that. And so I had to make this decision of am I going to continue with wealth but it's those people or am I going to get a six-figure job and have certain income and health benefits and a employer retirement account? I was. I knew what I was doing was not sustainable, but I also didn't necessarily know what else I could, how I could bring in regular revenue as a financial educator, and I decided not to take the six-figure job and instead take $10,000 to hire Catgirl Carmen, our business coach, and she helped me create my coaching business, and I'll let it in months later. I mean six-figure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's awesome. That is so awesome. I can't even imagine how hard that decision was. But was it? Was it actually hard?
Speaker 2:Yeah it wasn't, it wasn't hard, it wasn't, and that's the thing that I've noticed about, like all these different times of my life. It was like everyone telling me oh you're crazy, you're crazy, you're crazy, you're crazy.
Speaker 2:This is so wild. No, you don't do this. But I've just learned this physical sensation that I get, like it's like it feels like a warm liquid. It's like straight down my my, my middle of my body and it just feels like a warm little liquid that goes over my head all the way down to my feet and I'm just like no, we're going to do this. I mean listen, I just learned to listen to that and I've learned also how to get into spaces and environments where that, where it feels more accessible to me. So I know like if I'm near water, if I'm near water, I feel a lot calmer, I feel a lot more ease. But anytime I'm near water, I kind of get like I don't know these little urges, these little urges. And then I the repeated messages of like, yeah, this, and then I feel like it's a confirmation, and then I'm like, yeah, I'm going to do this. And people from the outside are like what, this is so crazy? And I'm like don't think you're going to understand this is the right thing?
Speaker 1:Yeah, definitely, it's interesting. I don't think many people said and not many people have told me that I'm crazy, and I think, because I don't know, people are probably afraid to tell me anything. Honestly, I think everyone's just like, oh, it's just, it's just normal, like she's going to do what she's going to do and if she says she's going to do it, she's going to do it. So I'm just thinking that, yeah, fortunately I haven't had a lot of battles in that way. I think more of my battles are more internal with myself.
Speaker 1:I make a decision and then you know, it's just like anyone else, that self doubt keeps in and you have to learn how to ground yourself right or connect with your inner self, which you talked about doing it with water. For me it's either going on a hike and for anyone listening it may be a little different, it might be a mix of those different things. I know for me I love to get up somewhere high where I can see a lot, and feel myself be small, and I know that sounds funny, because it's not that I feel big, but it reminds me that the world is big and it's safe, even if it is that big. As I am thinking about all the beautiful hikes that I've ever been on and just being there and it's like. It's like not even close to this, obviously the top of the sky but it's like my way of connecting with the sky, which I'm sure connecting with the waters is connecting you to something bigger too.
Speaker 2:Well, I look like really resonate with that too, because I like looking at ocean and bodies of waters, because I like seeing how it flows, I like the fluidity of water and it reminds me to just fucking roll with things, like I don't need to stay so stuck in a place, like I can just flow. But when I also love to fly, because when I am up in the air, I get that same feeling that you're talking about, those same thoughts about. You know, the world is so big, so big, and sometimes we get attached to these little little thoughts, these little ideas, these little circumstances, these little things. And then when I'm up in the air, that is also like I will journal. I love flying, I love a long flight. It's my favorite because I know I'm just going to be up in there up in the sky and I'm just going to be journaling and I feel a lot of my great ideas or my next excitement about stuff happens up in the air too.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's funny. And I believe you're Libra, right? Okay, yeah, you're an air sign, so, of course, being up in the air and being up in your thoughts, and that's that's your zone right where you'll get flowing. So it's funny that, without even knowing that, you are doing it already. So my other question is have you ever had any bad manifesting advice? I know it may be not something that many people maybe have had, but can you recall anyone giving you any or any manifestation advice that you're just like? That seems too difficult or going against your own intuition?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I'm a parent of a trans child and I remember a lot of people telling me you have to teach your child how to be a boy. You have to teach your child how to be a boy. There, you know, he's not going to learn if you don't teach him. You have to teach him. What do boys do? Boys play with trucks. Boys are outside. Boys wear pants. You know, and I remember hearing that repeatedly from a lot of people around me and I thought y'all are just proving to me that gender is just a social construct. And so actually I'm not, I'm not going to enforce certain like gender norms, and instead I'm just going to allow my child to be who they are.
Speaker 2:And you know, I had a two year old who, you know, wanted to wear dresses and I had a lot, a lot of people in my life telling me that that was wrong, that it was, it was irresponsible, that I was putting my child in danger of being bullied and, you know, attacked. And I just really grounded myself in terms of my child and I really allowed my child to show me what it's like to just be yourself. And I remember telling my kid when they were five and they wanted to dress up as like this character and wanted, like, a wig and a home dress. I said there are going to be people at your birthday party family members who are going to think that it's not okay that you're wearing a wig and that you're wearing a dress. And there are people are going to say you're a boy, you're not supposed to do that. And my kid responded with okay, they can say that they can have their own opinion. And I was just like. And I was like well, is it going to bother you? Is it going to impact your birthday? You know, don't you want to have fun? Like maybe we should do a little something different? And they're like no, they can have their opinion, they don't have to like it, just I have to like it. And I was just like yeah, okay, let's roll with that, let's try to do that.
Speaker 2:And I think that, even in terms of wealth, baritone was the first time Like my child and I had that conversation around October 21. And so my child having that conversation and just really deciding like I am going to dress and act and talk and however I want, really inspired me to be like okay, I'm going to offer coaching services, even though I'm self-taught, because I had a lot of doubt about that. But I was just like, if I know that I'm on track to retire early because of everything I've learned, like why am I not going to share that with people? Just because society says you know, education is supposed to come behind a certificate, or you know certain types of training, and so it like there was a lot of alignment there. My child shared that with me and then I was like, okay, let's you know, do what we've got to do and let people have their opinions, and it's okay for them to have their opinions as long as we'd like what we're doing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, Children, they're always a little wiser. And then you know the world gives them all this bad advice that we have to learn to unshud. So okay, and then can you share any of your most impactful manifesting advice that you've received so far?
Speaker 2:I think what I really appreciated from your presence in my life is just like the verbiage around everything, like I think I remember once you said to me like you're a natural manifestor soul and I was like I am, but I also like I just decided that was going to be my identity and now I say, whereas before I think I used to say like, oh, let's speak it into existence, let's speak it into existence.
Speaker 2:Now I'm just like I'll feel like, oh, we're manifesting this, and now I love that my family is also using that vocabulary. And scripting, which you introduced me to, was something that I obviously from being in the wheelchair and spending time like visualizing, like it makes sense that it was something that would have such a great impact in my life. But you gave me that vocabulary and explaining it and you know, you know attending your workshops and just following online, you just provide so much value. I now feel like I have the words to describe manifesting and it's just like manifesting and it just allows me to own it a lot more and and let it be part of my spiritual self care.
Speaker 1:Yeah, being intentional with it versus just kind of it happening and not happening. That that's in a negative way. But sometimes, or oftentimes, everyone is manifesting, but it's so unintentional that it doesn't give you that inner power to know like, no, I am doing this, this didn't just happen by accident. I actually had to step into this energy, I actually did put this intention behind it and, yes, maybe it unfolded months from now, which is why being more intentional and journaling on what you're manifesting and being able to come back like, oh wow, you know, I wrote this down six months ago and here it is just so easy. But if you're not doing that, then you can't build that belief that you are the one manifesting these things, that you are in control of what you want to bring into your life. So, yeah, having those words are alone are so powerful.
Speaker 2:And another thing that you shared was in terms of the process of manifesting. Right, and one of the things you shared was like cleansing before you. You sit down and manifest. That has really shifted my mindset and I think it helped me develop the habit of like actually folding clothes, including my space.
Speaker 2:I, you know, I'm someone with ADHD and sometimes I just it's just really hard, it's like it could be messy and I don't even see it Like. I don't even see how messy things are around me. But because I like manifesting and because I like the practice of, you know, like lighting the candle as I was manifesting, I built the habit to cleanse before, and so I found myself like I really want to manifest, but let me fold these clothes, let me just put everything back where it belongs, and I got really good at like cleaning, like a lot faster, and I think, like I mean I used to clean houses when I was in college, I'm sure, like I've always been good with cleaning, but it became like it served me. I felt like it served me to actually spend time and energy cleaning because I was like, because I want to manifest and that's fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. And then you have that energy behind it too, right, like I'm clearing out all this energy so that abundance can come in while and while we clean. I mean that is kind of essentially what we're doing, but if you don't have that intentional thought behind it, it doesn't seem like fun. I mean, no one's going to say it's fun. I gave me the idea to share that with my kids well, my family in general, but my son when he comes home because my plan was to for us to get the laundry and done and everything, and he's super into manifesting and loves it all he literally manifested 7,000 row bucks, I mean B bucks. One day, like and he had, like maybe two weeks prior, had told me, yeah, I have 7,000 V bucks, blah, blah, blah. I was like, how do you have that? And then he was like, oh, I'm just kidding, I don't. But he would like gave me a whole story about how he manifested them, right. And then I was like, are you like, is this real? Like I didn't really believe him. And then, when it actually happened two weeks later, he's like no, really, I do look. And I was just like, whoa, you really do, cause I don't know. He did something in the game and I don't know was one of the people that got 7,000 row bucks, I mean, and that's not like. I think that's usually like eight or $10. Or something. So it's not like a dollar or something. So it was, it was nice, and I forgot what he's recently manifesting, but always and we're going to listen into different songs that talk about manifesting and the other day he was like mom stands for made, made out of money. I was like, oh, okay. Then he said dad, he said something dad with dad. And I was just like no, no, no, we can't have that. We can't have dad have debt in his little thing. And I forgot what he ended up saying. I have to ask him again, but it was just funny. He just felt that one tear. He missed literally fade Ozzy, because they're teaching us to right, if you are willing to hear their own knowledge, because they do, they have knowledge.
Speaker 1:They Are, I like to say, just clear channels to receive these thoughts and sometimes they won't even remember what you, what they told you, because it didn't come from their logical brain, it came from the divine connection and that's what we need to remember that sometimes I'm looking back at some things that I've done in the the past and I've recently been talking a lot about expectation leads to Astration versus having an ideal, because even in the language you'll share with yourself like, oh, ideally, I would like this to go this way, right, whatever you are trying to manifest, but if you wanted to, if you label it as an expectation, it starts to go into this should energy.
Speaker 1:While yesterday I I Met with one of my clients and we meet like about monthly and he's like, yeah, I shared this with my group at work and you know, you taught me this and this was like months ago and I was like, but I'm talking about this, like it's the first time I even talked about this, but it isn't, you know, and I was like, man, I need to write these down more, like exactly what I am working with people, because now I'm sharing it more, and not only that, but like he's now sharing it with people, right, and he's applying that to himself and his life and how it's opening up doors and allowing him to be more flexible, versus being in that should energy, which closes us off from abundance and from receiving.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, you know, sometimes divine inspiration is going to come in and it's waiting for you to be able to Process it and the most important thing is really to share it. Just like you, you gained all that knowledge for a reason and, yes, it was to help yourself, but also to help the community love Listening to you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, is there anything else that you would like to share? Also, please share how my Audience can connect with you and learn more about what you do with wealth bar at those.
Speaker 2:The other thing I want to share is the reminder that you have shared about tapping into gratitude and being grateful for things. I have found myself, when I am, my energy just feels very stuck. When I feel like I'm Like it feels like overwhelmed or exhausted or tired and just Just stuck, I just don't, I feel very stuck. I have found that's happening into gratitude and just listing out I'll just start writing down things that I'm grateful for and I love challenge myself like two minutes, 20 things. I'm gonna let's see how fast you can go, because I do love a little game and I'll do it and that always just helps me shift my energy and allows me to get more into flow. And that's something that I I've learned from you, because I've seen you repeatedly express gratitude for different there are different results in your life and I've been like, oh yeah, that's like a good, flowy energy About that life.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, definitely, and, as you said it too, I was thinking even just moving your body, and you can, you know, make this. However, and that's what I love to teach, is like, everyone's journey, everyone's manifesting journey, is gonna be different and the tools that you use are going to be similar. Like, yes, I might tell you you need to meditate, but I might say, like, well, for you, you need a walking meditation because you got to move that energy, or you know you need to just sit in silence or lay on the floor. That's one of my favorite things not right now, but it's a little bit hard to get on the floor.
Speaker 1:But that is something that I like to tell some people, especially New moms, because sometimes it feels like there's not enough time to do what you need to do. I'm like look, one or two minutes is all I'm asking, lay down on the floor and allow yourself to just be. You know it's gonna feel like a lot, but you do have that amount of time and you know you start off small and you start to enjoy those Two minutes, and then that can lead to something bigger. It doesn't have to be just like you say a poco, a poco, right, and it's like it doesn't have to be this huge thing, like I have three minute meditations that I recommend people and you know, usually you hear like you need to sit down for 20 minutes or 30 minutes and I'm like, just do it for three minutes so you can feel the goodness because you're never gonna do it if someone tells you to do a hour-long meditation.
Speaker 1:It's just a reality but if someone told you just do three minutes of working out, it might get you out that door. So you know you got to tell yourself something different than works for you. Thank you so much for sharing everything and Share how they can connect with you.
