Speaker 1 (00:00):
And I remember this one gal when she first met me.

(00:01):
She goes, Mandy, when I started learning your work, I
stopped doing affirmations, and I was like, what why? And
she's like, because I realized that I had so much
work to do that I couldn't sit there and lie
to myself and say, I'm going to do my purpose work,
I'm a millionaire, I'm healthy when my life didn't look
like that and my beliefs didn't believe it. And so
she's like, I stopped doing affirmations, but I started doing

(00:24):
the work of saying why don't I believe that that's possible?
What has told me or who has told me in
my life that it's not available to me? Who do
I think I have to be to get there? And
is that true? Does that have to be true? Moving forward?
What is the new truth and behaviors that I can
pull into myself so that I can step into that
reality or that vibration as we call it in the

(00:45):
manifestation world. You've tried the positive affirmations, you've tried the visualization,
you write your goals in your journal, and yet there
is still this gap between the life that you want
and the life that you're actually living. This week, our
friend Mandy Morris is back. She is going to help
us close the gap, and she is sharing the powerful

(01:07):
secrets to manifest the reality of your dreams. Welcome back
to Life Amplified. What is an amplified life. It's having
amplified relationships with people who support and encourage you to
be your best. It's having amplified energy to conquer the
challenges of the day. And it's having an amplified career,

(01:28):
one that's meaningful to you, the world, and your bank accounts.
I'm Dan Mason helping you discover your calling and create
an amplified life on your terms. This is the Life
Amplified Podcast. One of the most popular self help books
and possibly one of the most damaging self help books

(01:49):
of the two thousands, was The Secrets, Which meant well,
but it was a gross representation of the law of attraction.
We were pretty much all told that we deserve to
have whatever we want in life just because we think
about it. But that's not really how any of this
manifestation process works. None of us get the things we want.

(02:10):
We get what we believe we're worthy of. And that's
why I always love having conversations with our friend Mandy
Morris because she incorporates so many of the things that
we talk about on this podcast, trauma, healing, personal growth,
and using that is the basis to create the life
that you want and deserve. Mandy is an entrepreneur, philanthropist,

(02:34):
and manifestation expert. She's also the creator of Authentic Living,
an online company designed to help individuals reconnect with their
authentic selves to find purpose, peace and deep healing. She
is also the author of the brand new book Eight
Secrets Too Powerful, Manifesting How to Create the Reality of
Your Dreams, which we have a link for you to

(02:56):
buy that here in the show notes. Some of the
top x Mandy and I will discuss in this interview
are trauma work and why it's an essential key to
manifesting the life you want. She'll share how we can
begin to de tangle the beliefs that unconsciously block our blessings.
She'll share why emotions are more important than positive thoughts

(03:18):
when you want to attract the things you desire. We'll
talk about how to manage your vibration when the world
feels like a complete shit show. Mandy will also share
the metaphysics that explain why fixing yourself is the first
step to actually fixing the problems of the world. We'll
talk about how to overcome personal setbacks, and Mandy is

(03:39):
going to share a very personal story about something her
family just went through, but how she was able to
find a deeper meaning and the purpose in her pain. Plus,
we'll talk about how to connect to your higher self
so you can gain clarity on the next right steps
to become the future version of you. If you love

with our dear friend, Mandy Morris. Thank you for being here,
Mandy Morris, Welcome back to life Amplified, my friend. Hello, Dan,
good to see you. Congratulations you have birth your new

(04:44):
book into the world, The Eight Secrets Too Powerful Manifesting
How to Create the Reality of your Dreams. It is
available right now, and every time we talk about manifesting
on this podcast, it always ends up getting a ton
of downloads. I think people are always interested in the
idea of manifesting and simultaneously frustrated as held by the

(05:05):
thought of manifesting, because there's this gap for all of us,
right like it used to be, I don't even know
if people do this anymore. Like it used to be,
you would sit and you build your vision board, like
I thought about doing that back in January, and then
I'm like, I don't even know where to get magazines anymore.
Like you know, people they'll print it out, but I'm like, no, no, no,
let's talk about something different that will work better. Yeah,

(05:27):
but there's this gap between even the vision board you're
creating in your mind and actually living in it. What
was that process like for you, Because I know that
there was a time when you were stuck in a
job you hated and there were toxic relationships, you know,
addictive patterns of different sorts. What was the gap for
you between your vision board and your actual life? And

(05:50):
how did the principles of this book help you cross
that bridge and get there sooner. If I had to
like call it one thing in this moment, it was rules.
It was all my rules. So I sat there. Every
time I would write a five year business plan, it
was I was writing it when I never had a business.
When I was making vision boards, it was when I
had none of the things. So I feel like all

(06:10):
of that stuff is amazing once you've reached a certain point,
but you have to break a lot of the rules
on who you think you have to be to get there,
what you think you have to do to get there,
and then you sit in that beautiful space, but we
forget there's this whole detangling process prior to get into
a space of being able to manifest and have what
we want. And that was me all the way. I
sat there in you know, I know I talked to
you four years ago, but so much dysfunction years prior

(06:33):
to that, all of the you know, the weirdness of
my life and realizing I was trying all these techniques
that people were talking about, but I wasn't actually embodying them,
and there were so many missing pieces to no one's fault.
But I realized this does not work for me. Because
I have too much to unravel. Still, there's too much
of my mind that's going off in another direction, saying

(06:54):
nowhere are you ever going to have this? You're not worthy?
And that was what I had to deal with. One
of the things I really respect about the way you
teach this content that I think is missing with some
other teachers out there. And it's not to say one
person is right or wrong, but it's the trauma piece, right,
and the role of healing our trauma and feeling safe

(07:16):
to even have the things that we want. Can you
talk about why that is so important? Just identifying because
the rules that you talk about that get in the
way of having the business of the relationship with the
money are usually created because of the way we perceive
are the stories that we build around old trauma? Right? Yeah? Absolutely?

(07:38):
And again, a trauma in the way that I talked
about it. It It could be something that was identifiable as
a trauma or as an energetic stamp, and for some
reason you've carried it through life and so all of
that stuff rebuilds our brain in a new way. It
rewires how we interact with our environment. And so instead
of avoiding the trauma, although I don't think we have
to remember the trauma. We don't have to relive it,

(07:58):
thank goodness, we do have to deal with the beliefs
and the way that it's still showing up in our world.
Because if you do have a lot of that stuff,
that density I call it, but you know that trauma,
you gotta do that trauma work to understand why is
this still showing up in my life in these ways?
How is it sabotaging me? And what am I telling
myself about it? And then working through that healing process

(08:20):
so that we can, you know, literally kind of like
scar tissue, we gotta break it up so that it
doesn't keep causing a blockage towards what we want and
what we want to create. And I think that's kind
of the thing, and I know that people are definitely
understanding this more so than ever. Manifestation is not about
us avoiding ourselves and just magically getting what we want.
It is knowing ourselves and mastering ourselves so that we

(08:41):
can have whatever we want. Yeah, I heard Michael Bernard
Beckwith talking about this idea that and this is about
I guess it applies to all spirituality and personal growth.
We're usually focused on the things we want to add
to our life. You know, I want to have a
million dollar business. I want to you know people in
the Great Resignation. I want to leave my soul sucking
job and create something I love. I want to have

(09:02):
a great marriage of relationship, want to have kids. But
before you can add, it's almost the subtraction and pulling
away all the things that get in the way. And
we're talking about this conceptually, what's a practical, real life
example from somebody that you've worked with, where these rules,
uh that you talk about the barricades that we're putting

(09:24):
between ourselves and the life we want. How does that
come up because we're never really aware of it right, Yeah,
it's hard to be aware of it, at least at first.
So you kind of took the word right out of
my mouth. How do we become aware of it? Because
if we don't know where we're at right now, how
do we know how to move towards what we're trying
to get to or what we want to create? And
so I call energetic checkens. That's actually the first secret
in the book is I need to be aware of

(09:46):
where I'm at, Otherwise I have no idea where I'm
trying to go because I don't know what the distance
truly is right, and so being able to become aware
of that and speaking to a specific person. I remember
this one gal when she first met me. She goes, Mandy,
when I started learning your work, I stopped doing affirmations,
and I was like, what why? And She's like, because
I realized that I had so much work to do

(10:07):
that I couldn't sit there and lie to myself and say,
I'm going to do my purpose work. I'm a millionaire,
I'm healthy when my life didn't look like that and
my beliefs didn't believe it. And so she's like, I
stopped doing affirmations, but I started doing the work of
saying why don't I believe that that's possible? What has
told me or who has told me in my life

(10:28):
that it's not available to me? Who do I think
I have to be to get there? And is that true?
Does that have to be true? Moving forward? What is
the new truth and behaviors that I can pull into
myself so that I can step into that reality or
that vibration as we call it in the manifestation world.
Vibration is one of like those great buzzwords right that.
You know, I think a lot of people, especially if

(10:49):
they're new on a path, they're like, great vibration, awesome,
Like what the hell does that actually mean? If we're
breaking that down, like, I guess, maybe the way to
approach this is most people think manifestation is this mentalizing
process that if I think positive thoughts, if I just
imagine myself having the thing I want, that I get there.

(11:10):
But it's really like an emotional exercise, right, talk to
us about emotions, vibration and how we can actually raise
ours to align with the things that we're trying to create.
So I break this down in the book, but I'll
also break it down here because I like to see
things and Dan, you know me from this this aspect.
I like the science and I like the psychology of manifestation.

(11:32):
I'm cool with the woo woo and that magical my
vision board magically came true thing. That's awesome, But that
happens after we've done the work. So by all means,
folks who are like, well, I want manifestation to feel
like magic, it will, but we got to get ourselves
into alignment first. And so those those integral pieces prior.
That's what we really have to focus on, is Okay,
if I've got these rules, if I've got these perceptions,

(11:52):
what does this really mean? And emotions are like the
precursor to manifestation because emotions hold such an incredible vibration.
So think about and this is there's emotional charts. I
have one in the book, but you can google them.
And let's say that we're talking about shame or guilt.
That's a very low vibration. It literally gives off a
very low frequency. So when you are experiencing fear, shame, guilt, scarcity,

(12:16):
or whatever it is, you are vibrating at a very
low and slow rate. And if you're using those emotions
to create what you want, where you're like I want
to I want the house on the hill so that
people will finally like me, or I wish I could
make money because then I wouldn't feel like such a
loser to my parents or something. What a low and
dense intention. But when it comes from something higher also healed, Right, Oh,

(12:38):
I love myself or I'm excited about this, or I
can't wait to give this to the world, And it's
a true, like abundant frequency that emotion literally moves matter
faster and in more beautiful ways because it's vibrating at
literally a higher rate. I think that that's such an
important point because there's also you know, I think there's
a lot of people out there than it is. Like

(13:00):
by sheer force of will, damn it, you're gonna you're
gonna push through that brick wall and you're gonna think
positively and you'll get the thing that you want. And
there's been times in my life when I've been able
to create things by doing that approach, and then I wondered, well,
why can't I hang onto it? Why did it go away?
Like we know the statistics, right, most people who win

(13:21):
the lottery don't hang onto the money. And that's the
vibration piece, right that if you can get the thing,
but if you still feel guilty or shameful about having
money because you didn't grow up with any, it's it's
going to slip through your fingers. Is that what we're
talking about. And that's why I'm like, you gotta do
the work prior, Like manifestation is beautiful, like I said

(13:42):
at some point, but if we don't do this work prior,
which is really us elevating our vibration over time, we're
also learning how to maintain that frequency. So just like
if I were to give you, you know, a billion,
ga jillion dollars, most people would be like, I don't
know what to do with this. Or just even a
simpler example, if you really want love and you have
this incredible partner in your life, but you haven't healed

(14:05):
through the perceptions of love or abusive relationships in the past,
then you're going to see this awesome person, but you're
probably gonna say I'm not worthy of them, or you'll
somehow run away from it or sabotage it because you
don't know how to house the energy where that reality exists.
So part of it is the process in getting there,
to be able to not just have it, but maintain it.
And this idea of maintaining a high vibration. Um, I

(14:29):
don't know if it's easy anytime, but if you look
at the past couple of years, we've got pandemics, we
got putin, we got politics. There's a lot. I mean,
there's a lot happening within us just in the day
to day of life, but there's a lot going on
around us. What are the practices that people can use
to stay centered, to say, to stay grounded when the

(14:52):
world also simultaneously feels like a ship. Show amen to that. Right.
I think this has been one of the hardest but
most beautiful understandings that I have had of this human existence.
Is so first, let let me backtrack. I suppose so
I have a consciousness, right, and you and I have
a collective consciousness, and um, the state of Colorado in

(15:12):
which I live, or state of California where you are
that also has a collective consciousness, the United States and
eventually move to the planet. We have a dominant consciousness
and therefore a dominant frequency, which unfortunately most often is
dominantly low, and so we get back what we are giving.
And so sometimes people are like, we've got to fix
the world. I'm like, we have to, no freaking joke, man,

(15:33):
we have to fix ourselves. And I think that that
power that we have and how our consciousness literally creates
our reality even though we don't understand how it's happening.
That doesn't mean that that communication system or that transference
isn't happening just because we can't see it or understand
how to route back to it. But whatever is going
on and between enough of us, I should say on

(15:54):
a planetary level is impacting the world. So if we
can at least perceive that, and we can say, okay,
that could be true many, then we go. Then I
can make a change by focusing and processing what's inside
of me, and I will watch the environment more beautifully
impact itself. And given that I do work with world
leaders and all kinds of different folks who can make

(16:15):
a positive influence. If I hadn't done the work on myself,
I would have impacted the millions of people have been
able to or the people who have the ability to
impact those millions of people. So it really does, as
frustrating as it can be, sometimes many of us our
sole purpose, and regardless of whatever walk of life, if
we are vibrating at a higher rate as woo woo
as it sounds, the world benefits, and you could take

(16:37):
that from it creates more mental clarity. We're not erupting
an anger so much. We're able to express love, so
people who would normally do dangerous things feel loved and
then they don't do dangerous things. But if you look
at the ripple effect that can go outwardly from all
of us. When we're in a high vibrational or a
positive mental state, the world changes. It really does. It's

(16:58):
such a powerful and I appreciate you saying that, right,
because it's so so many people watch the news or
they'll read the headlines and they feel powerless. Who am I? Like,
what can I possibly do to help the Ukraine? Or
what can I do to help the environment? And you
don't necessarily need to know how to fix that. You
living in your purpose, you creating whatever you're here to create.

(17:21):
Write the book, start the business, you know, have the family,
your your joy begets more joy you know, in your community,
and then into your city, your your state, ultimately the world. Right. Yeah,
And if I look at that, even in my own life,
and I love my mom very much, but there was
a time where she would watch the news every day

(17:44):
and she would call me with just this ball of
anxiety and I was like, Mom, you're not being a
part of the change to rectify what is going on.
You are literally adding your consciousness to it. So it continues.
And if I look at if I had stayed in
that space where I was always running in cycles of
pain and fear and anxiety and all that stuff, and
I further created it. Once I stopped acting like a victim,

(18:05):
I was willing to assume responsibility for it. I could
change it. And now I'm like, well, gosh, I wouldn't
have been able to touch all of these people. I
wouldn't have been able to help so many people from
suicide or be working with first responders. Now are all
this really cool stuff if I had gotten lost in it?
So as always, it starts and ends with us, But
it's like the chicken or the egg, which one comes first.
I love that you talk a lot in your work

(18:27):
and in this book in particular, on the idea of
counter manifesting, talk a little bit about what that process is,
what it means, and how the hell do we get
out of it, because I think there's a lot of
people who, you know, they've been trying to manifest the
same thing for years, and the more the harder they try,
it's almost like the further it moves away. Yeah. Well,

(18:49):
it's similar to what you were saying where you're like, okay,
willpower works sometimes, or it works for short bits, right,
but then we end up with burnout or like the
trauma recovery which takes forever, which is why it doesn't work,
because we have to cover from the amount of you know,
exertion that we overdid. But I know that you can
play the human game, that's what I call it, and
that's where we grind it out. We grunt we live
by all the human rules. Sometimes we make it. Most

(19:10):
of the time we don't, and it takes a really
long time. But there's also the energy game. That's the
manifestation game, that is healing all that is within us,
and a part of that is addressing counter manifestation. And
so I realized this was happening because I knew everyone's
manifesting all the time when I used to study like
physics and quantum and meta and psychology and my background
and all that jazz I noticed, especially when I was

(19:32):
working on psychosomatic illnesses clinically, I was like, you know what,
our thoughts are literally moving matter and they are literally
creating things. So all of the magic is in our thoughts.
But our thoughts can go in two separate directions. So
someone can say I'm doing my vision board for an
hour a day, or here's my mantras and my affirmations,
and those things are wonderful they absolutely are if you

(19:54):
don't have blockages that need to be addressed in relation
to what's on the vision board or what you're telling
yourself when you say those affirmations. But most of us do.
And so I imagine that one hour a day that
energy is going off into the universe. But let's say
that those other twenty three hours of the day, your
subconscious mind is saying you can't have it, you're unworthy.
Here's why it won't work out. You know, even if

(20:16):
you get it, you could lose it. And that oppositional
energy is going out into the universe we can call it,
and it's countering the conscious manifestation we have because again,
we are manifesting all the time. The subconscious is just
running usually around of the gamut. So of course we're
not getting what we want, or we get it and
then it's gone. You used the phrase that I've used

(20:36):
a lot on this podcast before when we've talked about this,
and that I know what other teachers have used. That
we're that manifesting isn't just the thing that happens when
we get the cool ship we want. That it's happening
at all times, and that can also be a trigger
for people, because there are people are like, hey, I
didn't how did I manifest losing a love one to COVID?

(20:57):
How did I manifest losing the job. There are real
setbacks that we face. I know, you know you've been
sharing online some personal challenges that your family went through,
and how do you make sense of those those really
devastating moments that are part of the human experience? Is
it okay not not use it to fall back into

(21:19):
an old story, right to play victim or be like,
oh my gosh, this doesn't work, or I can never
have a beautiful life. Well, can I share the one
that I think you're talking about? Yes, if it to
whatever degree you're comfortable. You know, I'm an open book.
So I think this is probably about two a little
over two months ago. Now, Um, So, we were pregnant
with a girl. We had named her and everything Eliana.
It was going to be our first girl. Our sons

(21:41):
were so excited, and the manifestation was to have her.
So I was actually sitting in November when I had
originally gotten pregnant, and I had said to me and
my husband, I said, I want to get pregnant. I'm
ready for another child. And um, I'd like for it
to be a girl. And I always cloak it with
if it's in the highest good of all, then may
it be. We immediately got pregnant, of course, because that's

(22:02):
just how manifestations work in that space. And throughout the
pregnancy though, we realized that I had lost, you know,
had miscarried and had lost the baby. And UM, I
remember sitting there going through many and it was so
cool because I cannot wait to help women with this
and and fathers, you know, because they we grieve so
much with you know, the loss of a child. And UM,

(22:25):
I sat there and I was like, Okay, I know
that there's something beautiful here. I do. I'm not just
gonna give all my faith away right now just because
something that I don't like showed up. I just can't
see why it served me. And so I pondered and
pondered on it and realized that this incredible frequency that
my daughter was bringing to our family. Um, and I
could feel it when I was pregnant. I was like,
this is a whole another level of abundance. This is

(22:48):
oh my gosh, this is so beautiful and it's so amazing.
And when I lost her, for a moment, I thought
I must have lost the frequency of it. She's not
coming in physical forms. All my human rules and perceptions
came in, thank fully, using my tools, started working through that,
trying to figure out, Okay, there's gotta be another meaning here,
and it all fully came together when I was talking
to one of my friends and she said, many, I

(23:10):
know I can tell you this because you'll receive it,
but she said, in a very, very very high vibration,
this was the most beautiful orchestration of unconditional love that
there could ever be, and it was exactly what needed
to happen. And I sat there and I was like,
I completely understand that Eliana was on this beautiful, high,

(23:31):
different frequency. And she had to be like, hey, Mom,
just as a reminder, this is where we vibe together.
I wanted to come down and remind you of this frequency.
You didn't lose it. It's with you now and I'll
see you when you get there. And it was so
profound that it wasn't me trying to like hold my
grief back or you know, pretend and call it something different.
Profoundly true and in residence and my life, even just

(23:55):
in the past couple of months, what has happened in
the incredible people and experiences and frequencies and abundances that
have just been showing up. Perceivably she gave me that
frequency because I chose to see it as for what
it was, which was exactly as it needed to be.
So I think sometimes with these types of traumas were like,
how could I have manifested this horrible experience? I'm like,

(24:17):
it's not horrible on some reality, and some reality was
exactly what it was supposed to be and the pain
of it doesn't even exist in that reality. But it's
your choice to dissect it and understand why it was
the most incredible blessing of your life. Yeah. Well, it
just comes down to that idea of like interpretation, and

(24:37):
we don't always have control over the external circumstances of
our life. But being able to have that agency and
that choice to choose what you're making it mean m
incredible and I really appreciate you sharing that. Yeah, thank you.
Um let's get into this idea of of control. A

(25:00):
lot of high performers I might be one of them,
you know, Like I think when I was spending my
time incorporate as always oh, you know, I'm climbing the ladder.
I gotta be the best at this job, and you know,
I gotta be the best at making money and the
best at like buying the nice house and the nice car,
and be the best, the best, the best, And I was.

(25:21):
And then I realized, like none of those things ultimately
made me happy. Getting back to that intention that you had,
why do you want the goals if you're doing it
to try to prove yourself or be enough, Like that's
a really dense energy to create from. So then I
was like, I'm going to go on a personal growth path,
and by god, I'm gonna be the best at personal
growth and I'm just gonna manifest these things perfectly, and

(25:44):
I'm gonna do it like right on my timeline. How
do we And I come across a lot of clients,
probably because I can be wired that way. I've come
a long way since then, I come as across a
lot of clients who do the same thing. I'm gonna
manifest this thing. I'm going to do it by February twelve.

(26:05):
And then it almost creates more pressure, right, Like it
creates this energy of anxiousness and desperation. How do we
let go of the control and the desire to just
micromanage all parts of the manifestation m So, speaking from
a recovered control freak, I completely understand. I searched for

(26:28):
it because it was the way to protect myself, and
so to be able to be in control of all
things was just, you know, such an incredible gift, So
I thought, so I call it, set it and forget it. Manifesting.
It's something I realized I was doing, but didn't consciously
know once the entire reverse engineered that I was doing it.
So I noticed that whenever I would write something down
in a really high state, you know that feeling, even
though sometimes it's fleeting where you're like, this is possible,

(26:51):
I could have that, I could become that, and you're
in that energy, You're in that vibration mental state in
that moment. Those are like the golden moment. So I'm
always like, stomp or stomp, stamp those in, put those
into your journal, make a video, whatever you have to do.
But like harness that energy, get familiar with it because
that's where it already exists. So we need to start
bringing that in more often, right, And so usually I

(27:15):
like to forget it. Part right, we set it, so
we stamp it, and we say, this is what I want,
this is what I'm creating. If you want to add
it in the highest school of all cool, that's just
my personal thing. And then you forget it, you detach
from it, you completely release it, and you allow for
the universe to give you the breadcrumbs that bring you there. Because,
as you said, as soon as you set something, especially

(27:36):
if you put like too many constraints to it. So
I always say, if you're going to write a manifestation down,
only be as specific as it feels like the moment
that you start throwing too many timelines or specificity, even
though I know a lot of people say they get
specific only if that feels good. If it doesn't, you're
shifting your vibration into a lower state and it's going
to mess things up. So only right what feels and

(27:58):
stays in that really high vibration where you feel it's possible,
and let the chips fall as they may. But then
you kind of forget it. You say, Okay, if it's
in the high school of all it will come. It
will happen in perfect divine timing. My literally, my book
deal I had Wroten back in two thousand and sixteen.
If it's in the high school of all, I would
love to write a book with hey House someday. I
wasn't known. I had just started that. There was no

(28:20):
idea of how I would do that. I just wrote
in my first book, but it was self published, and
years later, all of a sudden, someone's calling me saying,
can you write a book? And it just plopped on
my lap. And so I allowed for myself to only
set the parameters that felt good and then release the rest.
But that allows for it to come through it the
same frequency you stamped it in instead of that panic
that starts to happen of oh man, I said it

(28:42):
was gonna happen in February, We'll tell you January fift
so maybe it's not going to happen then B B
book and then you're just countering the whole vibration in
which you stamped it in on. So that's why I'm like,
sometimes just literally surrender, let it go, and watch the
magic happen, because as it starts to happen, you'll start
leaning on that technique more often and knowing it will
perfectly come through perfectly as it should be, but you'll

(29:04):
know your processed and getting there and instead of the
sabotage that happens when you're like, I need to start
controlling it. It's not showing up the way that my
human mind wants. But that's because the universe has a
whole other plan of how it's supposed to show up.
As you were just explaining that, that actually made me
think of an experience. You know, back when I was
still working in corporate, so I was programming really successful
radio brands and I got hired in northern California many

(29:27):
years ago to take the station was like last place
in the ratings. It's a disaster. Uh, And most people like,
don't take the job, you can't win there. And I
remember getting there and just I think, at that point,
it's like two thousand six, right, the secret had just
become a thing. I was like, well, you know, what
would be the ratings share I'd like to get if
this thing we're really doing well, and if we turned

(29:48):
this radio station around and the ratings were awesome, And
I jotted it down on a post it note, and
then you know, it was top of mind because I
had read the secret and then, like you know a
lot of things like self help wise, you're like, oh wait,
what was that ship? I read like a month ago,
like I forgot about it, but the post it note
stayed on the computer, like on the wall behind my
computer in my office, and like it had fallen down,

(30:10):
like I don't know, like six months had gone by,
and then the ratings came out and we took the
thing from like words to first in the market. But
it was the exact share number that I had written down,
and I just put it down on a pewspaper and
forgot about it. But I think that that that's like
that's what we would call detachment, surrender, all those things, right, Yeah,

(30:31):
And the cool thing is you bring up such a
good point to set it and forget it. It's not
like you're like, Okay, I set it. I'm waiting drop
on my lap. It is now I'm going to work.
I set the intention, I built the container. Now I
go to work. And I pushed towards or I moved towards,
or I follow what I know that needs to happen
in order for me to get into that vibration and boom,
there it is. And it's so funny because I think

(30:52):
about some of the things that have been slower to
manifest in my life, and it's like, but I am
writing down this goal every day ten times, and I
have eight set on it. I'm following the rules like
somehow I'm trying to like curry favor from the universe
for like being a really good student. I'm like, oh
my god, that's like my parent trauma like coming through
in the in the manifestation. So I love that idea though,

(31:16):
that we can allow it to be easy. Yes, it
really can. Talk then about so we're sort of talking
about having these intentions and creating your state of being
right at a vibrational level. Talk about like the level
of taking action and doing, because it's also not like,
you know, you want to build a seven figure business

(31:37):
and leave corporate. You can't just write it down and like,
you know, sit and watch Ellen and eat some donuts.
Like there's got to be some action involved. Also, what
is that line between the being and the doing? Because
I think a lot of times we can go so
far into the I gotta hustle, I gotta grind, I'm
gonna do do do that it actually brings the vibration down.

(32:00):
So I call it like the masculine and feminine energies
has nothing to do with gender but our masculine energy
sometimes we perceive. So I actually have four quadrants to it.
It's not just masculine feminine. It is lower level feminine,
lower level masculine, and higher level feminine and higher level masculine.
And I think that a lot of us, especially wearing
that like grind, grind, grind, you're not good enough unless

(32:20):
you do it raw, raw willpower. That's like the lower
level masculine. And then the part of us that just
sits and watches Elan and each chips all day is
the lower level feminine, perceivably lazy and not taking any
action that I don't think that a lot of people
have really understood the importance of this when it comes
to a life long success, a lifelong abundant cycle, and

(32:40):
that is elevating to get to these spaces so that
burnout really doesn't exist and you don't ever feel weak
or lazy. You know when you need to rest. And
so that higher level of feminine is kind of like
that creative pull the information down, get the ideas being flow,
do the self care before you get burnt out, and
that higher level masculine is get it through in the
three D. So some days I'm like, Okay, I'm pulling

(33:02):
down this program. I'm taking assault bath and I'm taking
care of me, I'm loving all my kids. And the
next day I'm like, I pulled other information down. It's
time to make that program. Get the marketing together, do
the sales. So my feminine and my masculine energies blend
and support one another so that I can kind of
toddle between the two and create a lifestyle around it.
But the action piece, absolutely but it shouldn't feel heavy.

(33:23):
It should be okay, how am I going to drive
force what I desire? But I also know when to stop.
I also know when to rest. I also know when
I need to reconnect to myself or to my purpose
or my why or whatever it is, keep myself in
that high state. But I feel like one part of
us kind of sits in the five D, and that's
the idea and the incredible energy we want what we

(33:43):
want to manifest, and then we have the three D.
We're humans for a reason. There is a doing no
that is absolutely needed. It just should be more divinely
guided or intuitively felt versus let me play the human
game and follow all the rules, and why isn't it
working well? Because the rules aren't even right. I think
that's why so many people, over the course of this
great resignation movement had just given up on corporate because

(34:06):
so much of corporate America is built on that lower
level masculine go go, go, grind, hustle, achieve. It's the
hustle porn culture. And there's no there's none of that
feminine energy need for rest and recuperation or in some
cases even connection, social responsibility, things like that. Absolutely, And
I mean, if you look at it collectively, at least

(34:27):
in Western culture, we are all experienced it. Not all.
I guess I learned this before everyone else, but I
went through it, trust me. But it was a total burnout.
And so all of a sudden, I'm like everything I
used to do wasn't working. I can't get to the gym,
I can't even get myself to work. What's wrong with me?
And it was like, no, I'm spending all of my
energy healing all of that stuff that wasn't even working anyway,

(34:49):
or that doesn't need to work, or come with me
where I'm going, but there's this rest period, so I
kind of see collectively everyone's like, no, we need to rest,
we need to recuperate. We've gone through a huge trauma. Uh,
We're not willing to do this anymore. It's too low
vibrational for us. One of the other things that I
heard you talk about on Facebook recently and again for

(35:09):
the control freaks, probably harder, right, leaving room for the
higher power, leaving room for that, leaving room for things
to happen, maybe in a different way than you imagine, Mandy.
Why can't we just be CEO of the universe? Come
on our own universe? Right? Actually, this was one of

(35:32):
the coolest things someone told you once. I wish I
remembered his name, but he said something along the lines of,
you don't have to be in control, and you never
can be. You cannot micromanage every part of your life
unless you play really freaking small and it still doesn't
even work. But you can be in charge of your life.
And I thought about the feeling and the difference between
control and charge, and I was like, yeah, I want

(35:52):
to be in charge. I'm okay with the little pieces
of sand falling through as it needs to and settling
to build a foundation here. But I'm so tired of
micromanaging my life. I'm gonna choose to be in charge.
And man, that that changed so much for me because
I was like, it has to look like this, what
about this? What's this person doing? And then I was
miserable all over again. But man, when we think about, okay,

(36:14):
if I can focus on my energy, how I show
up the things that I can control, then in fact,
all things do happen that way. And as you were saying,
I call it the highest good of all. It is
leaving room for you to be in charge of yourself,
but allowing for yourself to not be separate from all
of humanity or separate from all of existence, because that
creates such slow manifestations because we are all interconnected, like

(36:36):
it or not, we're in a frequency suit. We're all
communicating to each other all the time. And the greatest
pain I see people go through is they perceive that
they're separate from it, or that they need to control it,
or they're not a part of an integral process. But
I'm like, when you are willing to give yourself to
that surrender and say I would like this thing and
the highest good of all. You're allowing for you to
receive the greatest level of abundance that's available. And you're

(36:59):
also call it being courteous to all of existence. It's
not the greatest good of Mandy, it's the greatest good
of all, the highest good of all. And gosh, there's
just something about that frequency that changes manifestations into something
so beautiful. But it also kind of sneak attacks the
need for control because it creates surrender. Also, when we
talk about like being connected, you know, on a frequency

(37:20):
level to everybody else and you know, us all being
interconnected one of the other things, and you know, we
maybe we can finish up with this today, is also
this idea of connecting to a future you. And it's
maybe in you know, for the woo woo and the
crunchy folks. And by the way, I'm moo compliant. I've
got my crystals back here. I am I am more compliant.

(37:42):
Um that might be you know, like thinking about like
an alternate dimension where this new new version of you
already exists. But for other people, they can, you know,
they can just call that their higher intelligence or maybe
like a part of their mind they have an access
to how do we tap into that like that in

(38:02):
order to get to a new place in life, we
have to become somebody knew on some level. How do
we access that wisdom, that future part of ourselves and
how do we act on it? So I noticed that
a lot of actually a lot of geniuses do this,
or they have done this once that have passed. So

(38:23):
they all called it something a little bit different, which
is why I'm like, don't get lost in the words.
Call it wi woo, call it science, whatever you want to,
you know, whatever floats your boat. But Edison, Einstein, Socrates, Aristotle,
they all talk about basically, they called it the collective mind.
Most of them did. Or they would say, how did
you find that that mathematical equation? They're like, it didn't
come from me, It came from something outside of me,

(38:44):
and then it was delivered to me. Talk about channeling, right,
And so I started thinking about that because I can
you know, I do channel information. That's how I built
most of my programs. So I wrote some of the
book and I was like, I bet that there is
This was years ago, but I was like, I bet
there's a version of me that has the answers in
which I seek and could maybe give me a little
bit of a you know, a leg up here, because

(39:05):
I know that there's a version of me that I
haven't met yet. So I'm going to have to access
a part of me that I haven't accessed yet. I'll
become more of what I am. I may not have
to completely jump into something different, but how do I
grow and evolve into that? So I called it embodying
your future self? And I actually go through this whole
meditation in the book about it because it's the eighth Secret,
and I'm like, Okay, let's get ourselves into a meditative state.

(39:26):
Now I can kind of just three deep breaths and
I'm there. But first it's a meditative state, and then
you're going to this place. I kind of build this
visual and then you go to this place where you
can access a version of you that you haven't really
met yet. And it could be something as simple as
the version of me that has this problem solved with
my child or um I tap into billionaire Mandy sometimes

(39:47):
and ask her questions, especially with business, or the version
of me that's already met my soul mate. And then
you ask questions what does it look like And you
can get really specific or really not, doesn't matter, whatever
feels right. But I'll be like, what's lie off, Like
how do you perceive or like view these things? And
then I'll compare those views, those beliefs, those realities to
where I'm at now and then ask myself how can

(40:08):
I embed some of those things into mine now? So
even if you're like, I don't know why I kept
seeing some people are super visual, I kept seeing that
I was wearing red a lot, then wear red a lot, Like,
just go with it, because your brain will get on
board with it, and it will actually pull that more
divine or clearer or less programmed response that you gave
yourself in some way, shape or form, and it will

(40:28):
pull that vibration or that reality into where you're at
now so that you can further embody it, and then
it shifts you into the new. M hmm. I love that.
So we'll wrap up on this. What is the one
thing that you know today about this idea of being
in charge of your life of creator or as you
would stay here in the book, creating the reality of

(40:49):
your dreams. What is the one thing you absolutely know
to be sure today that you didn't know then that
could have maybe gott me there sooner, that could have
saved you some time, some suffering, some frustrations, some banging
your head against the wall. The thing that keeps coming
to me, as cliche as it sounds, is that anything

(41:12):
is possible because I lived in such small constraints my
whole life and in these silly boxes, and something that's simplistic,
just that reminder literally, even if we don't get to
it in this lifetime, our human capacity, what our consciousness
can do, anything is possible. And just remembering that more often.
I love that The book is Eight Secrets to Powerful Manifesting,

(41:35):
how to create the reality of your dreams. It's available
through hay House Publishing. Where can people go to buy it?
So I have a website or they'll get some extra bonuses,
so I think that's probably the best place. And it
is the Eight Secrets dot com and eight is the number, okay,
And where can people find you? On the socials? Mandy
Mandy Morris, dot love or just google me Mandy Morris

(41:57):
on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and I'll pop up. Always a
pleasure to talk to you, my friend. My vibration is
so much higher just being in your energy. Best of
luck with the book. We'll talk to you soon, bank
you Dan. The biggest takeaway for me in that interview
is that the biggest block between you and the goals

(42:19):
that you have in your life isn't about your ability,
your worthiness, your giftedness. It's just an internal emotional block.
And as you start to tangle the beliefs and the
rules that you have built in your life about what's
possible for you, you greatly speed up the manifestation process.
So if you want to do some more work around

(42:39):
