Episode 9: Manifesting

Episode 9:  What is manifesting? Does manifesting actually work?

In this week’s episode, Tracey and Cayly talk about manifesting — a word they see being tossed around a lot in the self-help and personal development arena — often to the detriment of those who fall prey to the hype. They discuss the ways in which our attempts to manifest can go wrong and leave us feeling less content in the end.
