In this episode of Hidden Answers, I’m digging into the world of manifestation , what it is, how people use it, and whether it actually works. From the ideas in Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks, to the science-backed mindset work of Carol Dweck, to voices like Joe Dispenza and Tony Robbins, we explore the balance between belief, action, and the subconscious mind.
I’ll share some personal thoughts, a few stories, and reflect on those strange moments of déjà vu or luck that make you wonder if maybe, just maybe, you’ve shaped your reality more than you realised. No lectures, just a real chat about how your mindset might be playing a bigger role than you think.
