THRIVING never takes away from your kids, health or romantic partner…

THRIVING never takes away from your kids, health or romantic partner…

(you know it’s true that thriving never takes away from your kids, health or romantic partner, yet you are not experiencing it… why?)

I was taught this as I scaled my wealth and business… only I WASN’T fully experiencing it ongoing… and of course it did take away from these things…

But….. IT IS ACTUALLY true… Thriving DOES NOT take away from our health, wealth or time… so why was it still feeling like not every need was being met while I took the time, resources and space I needed to thrive?

That is very simple. lol

Because I was trusting ME to provide for them all, not God. IT IS TRUE. When I thrive I have so much more to give to everything and everyone around me…

But the BELIEF that I was solely responsible for everyone’s needs was causing me to have an experience of needs not being met.

Which creates a LIE.
The LIE is Thriving = sacrifice, depletion, or disconnection.

LIE. LIE. LIE.

Truth?
** The same power that created the stars and ocean is alive in me… and I am limitless in him. **
** When you are willing to receive thriving, the whole Universe conspires to bring you your good.**

Say it with me!!!!

I reject the lie that thriving equals sacrifice, depletion, or disconnection. That is not my story anymore. Thriving is my natural state. Thriving is not heavy – it is light, joyful, and free. Thriving does not take from me; it gives to me. When I thrive, I become more of who God created me to be. My health thrives because my body knows how to heal and regenerate. My relationships thrive because love flows naturally when I am aligned with my joy. My purpose work thrives because I am in tune with the abundance and guidance of the Divine.

Thriving isn’t hard; it’s effortless when I allow myself to be supported by God. It’s not something I need to force or figure out – it’s who I am. I am worthy of ease. I am worthy of overflow. I am worthy of having enough time, enough energy, enough money, and enough love. I am worthy of waking up every day in alignment with peace and power.

I no longer believe that thriving comes with a cost. Thriving is not a trade-off, it’s a flow. The more I pour into myself, the more I have to give to others. The more I prioritize my health, my joy, and my alignment, the better I am as a mother, as a partner, and as a guide in my purpose work. Taking care of myself is not selfish – it’s sacred.

Every time I choose to show up for myself, I show up for the people I love. Every time I move my body, nourish it with food, and honor its needs, I am creating a vessel for God to work through. Every time I step into my purpose, I’m aligning with the divine assignment on my life. And every time I allow myself to rest, to laugh, to experience joy, I am giving thanks for the gift of being alive.

I reject the overwhelm and the lie that it’s all too much. It’s not too much – it’s exactly what I was made for. God doesn’t give me more than I can handle. And He doesn’t ask me to do it all alone. I release the belief that I have to figure it all out, and I trust that everything is unfolding perfectly. I don’t need to push – I just need to receive.

Thriving is safe. Thriving is natural. Thriving is my birthright. I align with thriving in every area of my life. My health radiates vitality. My relationships are overflowing with love and connection. My work is an expression of my soul’s purpose. My finances flow with abundance, and I am free to enjoy my life fully.

Today, I choose thriving. I choose joy. I choose ease. I choose trust. I let go of every belief that says I need to sacrifice myself to have a good life. I am creating a life where it all gets to coexist – health, wealth, love, freedom, and spiritual alignment. This is the truth I live by now. Thriving is who I am. Thriving is how I show up. Thriving is how I lead. And it just keeps getting better.

AND SO IT IS!!!
Amen.

Longing to serve

Longing to serve

I long to serve with every ounce of my strength…

I yearn to LOVE in a way that is free of self-preference and self-preservation.

…. And that takes physical, emotional and spiritual strength.

It means eating well.
It means working out daily.
It means strong relentless boundaries with toxic people.
It means praying and protecting myself every morning before I pray for others.

… facing the toxic vanity culture we live in and choosing to not participate.

It means standing beside powerful, extraordinary humans and not comparing.

… choosing to train my children so we have a peaceful family life.
… keeping my commitments.
… and doing what I can now, today, this moment.

It means going the extra mile in my own home.
The extra mile taking care of myself…
My family.
My home.
My personal space.
And my partner.

It means shifting from trying to get everyone on my timeline and getting on theirs.
It means looking for opportunities to help.
It means seeing them in their greatness and endlessly reflecting it back to them.

IT MEANS NO COMPLAINING.
No going into the fear.
No giving into the temptation that promises relief… and gives chaos.

It means to get still.
Listen.
And obey.

It means remembering every waking second that my true strength comes from God… and doing my best to align my powerful WILL to God’s as I walk.

It means remembering that LOVE is the teacher, not me.
It’s remembering LOVE is a verb.
It’s remembering that being able to LOVE is an incredible honor and gift that brings deep joy in the end.

And every day I see myself strengthen in this new way just a little.
And a little bit more.
And a little bit more.

It’s a dream come true.

Wealth desires & God desires: what’s the truth behind it all?

Wealth desires & God desires: what’s the truth behind it all?

Are our desires ego-driven shallowness????
Are they God’s guidance?
Am I meant to be led by them? To deny them????

HERE IS THE MAGIC I’VE COME TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEM…

“I trust my desires are right.”
We begin here. RIGHT HERE is where this adventure begins.

And I do… I truly trust my desires are RIGHT desires now… and it’s like a 1000 lb weight lifted off of me.

But of course God would activate a desire in me. What a perfectly brilliant way to communicate to us. No? What else would a loving Source itself use but the joy of the life force of desire to activate us humans?

But when I look back at some of my desires like looks and Chanel bags and other silly things… I question if I was off base with God’s will?

How could that be in alignment with God’s will? Shouldn’t I question my desires? Aren’t these some self-absorbed, superficial desires? Didn’t it mean I needed validation to some degree somewhere inside? Isn’t that OFF?

No. Not even close.
My desires were never wrong… I simply have outgrown myself again and again and again until old desires feel silly.

They weren’t silly at the time… they were PERFECT.
How do I know they were perfect?
Because they got me to the place where that part of my ego died and I no longer had any attachment to them… which then opened space to LOVE & serve even more.

I will never question my deep soul’s longings again. Never.
I will stop looking back feeling like I should have been THEN… the way I desire to be NOW.

How absurd.
As if we are all supposed to be in the exact same place of our journey all desiring the same thing. Lol

That’s literal nonsense.
It’s absurd even.

We sit around waiting for proof it’s what God wants us to do… yet the inkling to do so IS the answer. The desire to experience it IS the answer.

It’s already perfect.
And it doesn’t have to make sense to some arbitrary standard someone else in a different place has set.
Some societal standard.

If I had followed the societal standard of not caring about wealth and all the wealthy things… I’d NEVER have had the chance to outgrow the validation I needed to let go of the “welfare” Mandy.

I’d still feel like that stuff would make me more valuable. Buying $20k worth of Chanel bags was invaluable because they became as important to me as my favorite Walmart backpack.

That desire was EXACTLY perfect as only the Source of all life could know…

So we drop all absurd judgment of ourselves and others.

We stay out of the sacred place between a soul and its maker and we get still and hear our own deep yearnings, longings and promptings….
Superficial things awaken people all the time.
Deep powerful soul shifts knock people out of the game all the time.

We’re ridiculous with our petty judgments OF OURSELVES in this journey.

Say it with me:
I trust my desires.
I trust my longings.
I trust I am led in the perfect way with the perfect desires and longings.

I TRUST THEY ARE RIGHT.
I TRUST I AM RIGHT.
I TRUST GOD IS RIGHT.
I TRUST this process of trust.

I love you.
I know this takes heaps of courage… lucky for you… that’s no problem.

6 insights to aligning MY will with GOD’S will…

6 insights to aligning MY will with GOD’S will…

Most of the time what I feel God is asking me to do feels ridiculous…

It’s just true.
My learned brain knows everything (according to itself lol) and always knows what’s best… except… that is of course, the complete ridiculousness when I stay conscious.

Quit this job and start your own business… come again? (I was a nanny)
Launch this course about power… (say what?)
Hire this coach who drives you insane… (really though?)
Stop. (what? Now? You realize how hard I worked to get here ya)
Be still. (Oh comeeee onnnnnnnn #adhd lol)

In the season I’ve been in for 2 years… I often sense God asking me to look at something directly with eyes wide open… no matter how much I want NOT to see it.

But on top of it I felt led to do nothing but be willing to face it. Face my own history. Face the abuse happening. Face the corruption in our country. Face the effects of not staying conscious in my own world…

And it’s been hard. Really freekin hard.
But it’s also been incredibly healing as I piece by piece accept that I am not the all-powerful fixer of this world lol. (woohoooo!)

In the manifestation spiritual world… we are. We are oh so powerful and here to change the world… And we are. We are the divine spark of GOD, infinitely connected.

Except… it’s a little baby awakening in our human race… and we’ve got a lot of spiritual growing to do.

As I finally learned to let go of all of the teachings and imprinting from the wealth and boss babe world… I could feel all of the questions I had asked along the way as the exact guidance I was asking of others… when I was meant to go within.

They didn’t have the answers as they were caught up in the “I want” manifestations… and in this world… we truly are SELF-FOCUSED. And we feel it. We feel something is not quite right with it… and we will continue to see an awakening of this over the coming years.

My heart is a bit sad that this is what we taught the younger women who now live for likes and the next million… but I also trust the process. Again and again, I must let go of what I think it should be and allow myself to be still and listen.

Sure, we are powerful. I can move mountains with my sheer will and have many times… but it’s all for nothing if we can’t be still and listen to the still voice inside. It’s all truly for vanity & ego if we won’t be led. And being led feels like peace.

So I sit this morning… hundreds of mornings… asking myself… Where have I gotten caught up in my own self?
In the stillness what do I hear? What do I feel led to?

1. If we aren’t getting still and silent we are definitely caught up in self. THE END. Zero exceptions.
(In meditation, I ask God to guide me. Rather than thinking through my question, I sit in silence and observe what feelings or insights arise. Answers from God often feel peaceful and clear, even if they’re subtle.)

2. I LET IT GO. Full surrender.
I can test my selfishness by choosing to let it go and tell God that if this is not Divine will I’m willing to surrender it. This includes relationships, desires, ideas, truths… everything.
“If this is Your will, let it come to pass. If not, I trust that something better is meant for me.”
When I resist this, and can’t fully mean it in my heart and soul… I know I’m in self.

3. Align my WILL with God’s will…
When I feel strongly about a direction, I ask if it uplifts me toward higher love, compassion, and service. If so, I use my willpower with the intention of serving as a channel for divine energy, making my actions an offering to God.
(This was very challenging until I learned that my INTENTION & awareness is what matters here.)

4. Trust Divine timing…
Yogananda said: “Those who are willing to surrender everything to God will find that He works for them in a much better way than they could plan for themselves.” I remind myself of this often… and I find it to be WILDLY TRUE. I’m fully aware of the chaos I create when I do things in my NOW timing… #notavailable

5. Use JOY & PEACE as markers for being on track…
ok ok ok… I feel this must be said… the MANIC HIGH of doing a bunch of impulsive things is NOT joy… lol. Joy is sustained. It is NOT circumstantial.
I know that true alignment with God’s will brings joy and peace. If a path or decision feels right, it comes with a sense of lightness and joy in my body, even if it’s challenging. VS paths driven by ego that bring anxiety, frustration, or conflict.
Before pursuing a goal, I check in with myself: “Does this choice bring inner joy, peace, and expansion, or does it cause inner conflict?” If it brings joy, it’s likely aligned with God’s will.

6. Make LOVE the center of every action:
This one is a life-long process eh?
The ultimate purpose of life is to love and serve God in all beings… So pursuits that center on LOVE, compassion, and selflessness are usually aligned with divine will. And we can check for that easily if we are truthful to ourselves.
Do my goals reflect love or service?
If my intentions uplift others and bring out my highest qualities, they are likely aligned with God’s will.

Say it with me:
“I am a vessel of divine love and purpose, guided by God’s wisdom in every step I take.”
“I release all attachment to outcomes, trusting fully in God’s perfect timing and plan for my life.”
“With each breath, I choose stillness & I align my will with God’s will, allowing divine consciousness to flow through me.”

Showing up from a place of LOVE

Showing up from a place of LOVE

I thought I knew what showing up from a place of LOVE meant…
I thought I was doing it…
I thought that I was operating from a place of big LOVE.

I showed up every day of my life for 7 years giving everything I had to rescue those I love…
To have the money & power to help everyone in my world…

Lol…
It seems so silly now that I could not see that that was all ego… it really did seem like love…

But how could LOVE come from a resistance to what is, and a fear that those we love will suffer?

That’s not love… love casts out all fear.
No wonder I could not understand the quote my friend Dr. Clint G. Rogers introduced me to…

“I did not come to teach you. I came to LOVE you and LOVE will teach you.”

Love isn’t rescuing.
Love isn’t showing up big so you can make someone else’s life the way we want it to be… so that WE don’t feel the pain of seeing them suffer…

Love isn’t manifesting our every desire so that we can feel powerful and worthy.

Love isn’t being so strong and relentless that we can make everyone be how we think they should be. Lol… that’s some toxic ego-ridden control insanity.

But when I went to show up and create… serve… I was so confused… so if it isn’t driven by self-survival… and it also isn’t driven by rescuing others… and it ALSO isn’t just manifesting my ever desire in some self-focused world of “have it all”… then what the heck is it?!?!?!

LOVE.
I love you enough to manage my own emotions so I don’t dump them on you.
I love you enough to go to God for peace so I don’t try to control you.
I love you enough to work through my addictions and crappy habits so that I can be sane around you lol
I love you enough to show up in this life giving all I’ve got so you get to be around an uplifting energy.
I love you enough to KNOW in every cell of my being that we are equals and I am in no way above you.
I love you enough to tell you the whole truth.
I love you enough to sit my arse down, be quiet, be still and do my spiritual work so I can bring joy and peace to our world.
I love you enough to bring my gifts full fledge to the world and let them serve anyone who needs them.

Real love casts out ALL fear. ALL. ALL……… without exception.


All my love,
Mandy
