Back in 2007-ish, I was living my life in London, I’d been practicing Reiki for a couple of years and just started my training as a Probation Officer.
I was also getting right into personal development and lapping up all kinds of books, when my mate Nikki gave me a book by Sandy Forster called “How To Be Wildly Wealthy FAST.” 📖
The book was great, but for some reason I felt cringe for reading it and used to hide the cover while I was reading it on public transport haha..
That was the first book that introduced me to the Law of Attraction – and in fact Sandy Forster, who was also in the movie “The Secret” which introduced the LoA to the world, later became my mentor in 2012 when I took her Inspired Spirit Coaching Academy Course and became a LoA Coach. 🤗
Anyhoo, back when I was just starting my learning about the LoA, I lapped up all the info and started putting it all into practice.
I created a vision board by putting together a bunch of photos in a pic collage app and having it as my screen saver. 📱
I created affirmations that I would say over and over and over again on my morning walk to work – I said it so much it seemed to run in the background of my mind when I wasn’t focusing on it. 🧠
My wage at my job was fixed, but by then I’d started charging for energy treatments and Reiki workshops.
I remember my first ever affirmation focused on money was about wanting to bring in another £200 a month through my business. I had on a loop in my head “I am SO happy and grateful that I now attract an extra £200 a month through my business”.
Within a week, I had the exact amount of bookings that would amount to an extra £200 a month – so then I increased it to £400 a month and within another week had that exact amount, so then I focused on £400 a week and ended up with £1600 that month! 💷
I was fascinated by the power of getting what you focus on, and knew then that I wanted to train as an LoA Coach.
I spent the next few years focusing my manifesting skills on building my business, moving to Australia, and building my dream life when I made the move. 🇦🇺
The more I learned, the more I took action.
And the more I took action, the more I grew and changed as a person, a friend, a coach, a teacher, a mentor and in my day job too.
By the time I got to 2012, I got an email from Sandy Forster saying she was opening up the next round of her ISCA LoA Coach training, and I was ALL IN. 🙌🏻
I loved the course, and after I graduated I even ran some calls for Sandy which was fun!
During my career in Community Corrections I was also being well trained in mental health, suicide prevention, trauma and all things dark-side. 🥺
My interest in the LoA never lessened, but I did start thinking “well, if I’m working with someone who wants to die, I’m sure as shit not going to tell them to just think positively or say a bunch of affirmations”.
This is when my style of coaching moved towards trauma-informed, post-traumatic growth coaching – but I always still have a lens of LoA in mind, because I always work with clients around where they want to go and help them clear the obstacles in the way.
And I soon learned that manifesting is so much more than affirmations and vision boards and all the other pretty shit that goes along with it – it’s heavily connected to how you FEEL and the energy you’re being. 🌀
If you’re feeling like total shit most of the time and your vibe is right down there on the floor, you’re not likely to be much of a manifesting magnet to the things you say you want in life.
I’ve decided to revisit manifesting for the month of October because a lot of the time on my page I talk about heavy shit. 💩
I spent September taking a bit of a break from making so much content as a lot has happened this year – some great, some not so great.
And so I wanted my come-back month to be a fun-filled month that I get to share with you, my Coach Carly crew, to show you how much more there is to manifesting the life of your dreams. 😍
Because since I’ve manifested my dream life (an incredible relationship, business, friends, dream house, zero debt and abundance coming at me from all directions), I want more than anything for as many people to experience this as possible.
So my invitation to you this month, is to follow along with me and my Coach Carly Crew for Manifesting Month – and as you follow the steps along on my pages, I want you to say loud and proud in the comments (or in an DM to me is fine!) what you’re wanting to manifest this month.
Enjoy playing this fun game of life!
Happy manifesting,
