Welcome to
Manifest Differently, the
podcast for neurodivergentthinkers and anyone looking to
approach manifestation in a waythat truly works for them.
I'm your host, carissa Andrews,here to explore the science,
energy and strategies that willhelp you create the life you
love.
Let's dive in and manifestdifferently.
Hey there, beautiful souls,welcome back to Manifest
(00:37):
Differently.
Today's episode is going to bea little bit different.
It's not just about mindsetshifts or new manifestation
techniques.
Instead, it's going to be aboutexpansion.
A shift has been happening inreal time, both for me and for
this community, and honestly,it's something I've been calling
in for a while now.
It's part of the reason whythis podcast even exists.
(00:59):
Come to think of it, have youever had that moment where you
realize you've outgrownsomething?
Maybe it's a belief, a way ofdoing things or even a way of
showing up in the world.
You feel that nudge, thatknowing in your gut that you're
ready for something bigger, butthere's also that little voice
in the back of your head that'slike but this is how it's always
(01:20):
been done.
Should I really take the leap?
Should I really change?
Well, that's where I've beenand it's where I've been since
probably about May of last year.
Now.
I started this podcast becauseI wanted to create a space where
manifestation actually makessense for neurodivergent minds.
I realized last year that I amdefinitely ADHD.
It's something that I wish Iwould have known so much sooner.
(01:43):
But now it makes so much moresense into all of the aspects of
my life my career, myrelationships, all the things.
But this is a place whereadvice like just think positive
or raise your vibration it's notthe thing right, because, let's
be honest, that doesn't alwayswork for us.
So I wanted to dig deeper.
(02:04):
I wanted to talk about energy.
I wanted to talk about thenervous system, mindset and the
reality of manifesting when ourbrain processes the world a
little differently.
And over these past few monthsI've poured so much love into
this podcast and into thecommunity and into how I want to
see the expansion of how thisis going to go, but recently
(02:26):
want to see the expansion of howthis is going to go.
But recently something's beenshifting inside me and I
realized I was operating stillwith this company or brand or
however you want to describethis aspect very similarly to
what I'd already outgrown inAuthor Revolution.
And while I love what I do inAuthor Revolution, it just I
feel called to try something new, right.
So I realized that I'm nolonger just sharing what I know.
(02:48):
I'm really stepping intosomething bigger, and I don't
fully know what it is yet.
It's a new level of impact, anew level of leadership.
And with that realization camean even bigger aha moment.
I've been giving away my bestinsights, my deepest
breakthroughs, my mosttransformational methods for
(03:08):
free, and I've done this foryears, for years and years and
years, throughout the revolution.
Now, let's be clear I lovesharing and I love serving.
I'm a number one relator.
It is my biggest passion.
That's never going to change.
But when I looked at the peoplewho are in my community, the
ones who are really seeing thebiggest shifts, the biggest
transformations, there was apattern they weren't just
(03:32):
listening to the podcast, theywere committing, they were
engaging, they were saying I'mall in.
And that's when it hit meManifestation isn't just about
thinking differently, it's alsoabout acting differently and
logically.
I know this because everythingstarts with that mindset.
Right, it starts with thinkingdifferently, but you have to
(03:52):
take the action in order foryour manifestations to truly
come to you.
Even if your action, yourinspired action, is just to keep
thinking differently, that'sstill an action right.
But when we truly desire ashift in our lives, we don't
just sit back and hope that ithappens.
We invest in it.
Whether that's the time, theenergy, the money or mindset
(04:13):
shifts right, we make adeclaration to the universe that
I am ready for more.
So I had to ask myself if I'mcalling in a new level of impact
, why am I not aligning my ownself with that truth?
That's why things are changing.
That's why this is the momentI'm making a shift, not just for
myself, but for all of us.
(04:35):
I want to invite you into thisshift with me, because what I
know deep in my bones is thatthe people who are truly ready
to go deeper, the ones who wantmore than just surface level
manifestation tips, the ones whoare truly ready to go deeper,
the ones who want more than justsurface level manifestation
tips, the ones who are ready todo the work, to integrate, to
experiment and see real change.
They're the ones who are goingto change their lives and change
(04:56):
the world, and I'm here for bigimpact.
I'm here for globaltransformation.
In my soul, that's really whathas always been calling me, and
I want to be there right,guiding that process every
single step of the way.
So here's what's happening.
This podcast, manifestDifferently it's still going to
be here.
I'm still working on it.
(05:16):
It's still space where I sharepowerful ideas, breakthroughs
and shifts that can change howyou see manifestation and even
the way that you think right.
But if you're craving somethingdeeper, if you want the
step-by-step breakdowns, thereal-time experiments, the
insider access to what I'mdiscovering about manifestation
in real time, then I want toinvite you to something new.
(05:38):
It's called ManifestDifferently the Deep End, and
it's where I'll be sharingeverything I used to give away
for free, but this time I'mdelivering it to those who are
truly ready for it.
Not because I want to hold back, not because I don't believe in
generosity I do but because Iknow from experience that when
we commit at a deeper level, wesee bigger results.
(06:00):
So this isn't just about meevolving.
It's about all of us steppinginto our next level selves.
And the question I want you tobe asking yourself is where in
your life is it time to godeeper?
Maybe it's in yourmanifestation practice.
Maybe it's in the way you showup for your business, your
relationships or your dreams.
Maybe it's in how you seeyourself, your worth, your value
(06:21):
, your impact, whatever it is.
I want you to sit with thattoday, because if you feel the
pull for more, there's a reason.
Your soul is calling you to itright?
The answer is always yes, andour desires are divine guidance,
helping us to see where we'reheaded, what we're trying to
call in, and I'm here to tellyou.
(06:42):
You don't have to figure all ofthis out alone.
So take a deep breath with me,inhale and exhale and let's set
the energy for this shifttogether.
I want you to affirm with methat I'm ready to receive at a
higher level.
(07:03):
I trust myself to step into mynext evolution.
I'm aligned with the impact Idesire to create.
Those are powerful, right.
They feel really good in mybody, in that energetics of what
they symbolize to me.
I've been holding my stealthback from doing this next level
(07:25):
of evolution for a while,somewhat out of not having
enough clarity and somewhat, inthis space, of not wanting to
deviate too much from what I do,and I don't know why.
So, before we dive deeper intowhat's shifting, I want to take
a moment to reset our energybecause stepping into something
(07:46):
new and expanding into a higherversion of ourselves.
Trust me when I say this, it canbring up a lot.
Yeah, there's excitement, butsometimes there's also
resistance, doubt, fear, thatlittle whisper of what if this
doesn't work, what if I'm notready?
And that's okay, it's part ofthe process.
(08:07):
Growth always brings up thethings that were meant to
release, and boy have I beengoing through a lot of releases
past year.
So let's take another deepbreath together, inhale through
the nose, hold and exhale.
Let's do that a couple moretimes.
(08:33):
Inhale expansion, exhaleresistance.
Inhale ease, exhaleoverthinking.
That's a big one.
Inhale trust, exhale doubt.
(08:59):
Now I want you to bring to minda time in your life when you
just knew something big wasshifting for you.
Maybe it was a moment ofclarity, a decision that changed
everything, a realization thatyou couldn't keep playing small.
Can you feel that energy, thatcertainty in your body?
(09:22):
Energy, that certainty in yourbody?
I know I can.
There are definitely momentswhere things shattered and
changed, but there was acertainty in it, in a knowing
that this was the rightdirection.
So anchor into that feeling andlet's affirm some more.
I allow myself to expand withease and trust.
(09:45):
Trust has been a big one for methis year, trusting myself more
than anything else, I'm readyfor my next level.
I choose to receive my desires,fully Beautiful.
Let that energy settle intoyour body for a minute.
(10:07):
Feels good, right.
This is what alignment feelslike.
This is what stepping into yournext level looks like.
Sometimes it can beuncomfortable, sometimes it can
feel confusing and kind ofworrisome, and other times it
(10:31):
just feels like a soft releaseof whatever it is that we've
been holding on to tightly.
So, now that we've set theenergy for expansion, let's talk
about what's actually happening, why this shift is going on,
what's changing and, mostimportantly, how it affects you.
(10:52):
I want to start with a littlestory, because I think it
perfectly illustrates what I'vebeen moving through in my own
journey.
A few months ago, I had thismoment of clarity and it was one
of those downloads that justreally hits you out of nowhere,
but when it does, you can'tignore it.
In fact, it was more than acouple months ago, it was about
10 months ago.
I was thinking about the wayI've been running my life,
(11:15):
running my businesses, runningAuthor Revolution, and the way
I've been showing up and sharingso openly, and this thought
dropped into my mind.
You're playing small and atfirst I resisted it because,
let's be real, I've been showingup, I've been creating for
years and years and years, andmy word of last year for last
(11:38):
year you know you pick one ofthose words of the year mine was
let go right, and I didn't knowhow big that was going to be.
I've been putting a lot ofcontent out there for free, week
after week, because I lovehelping people shift their
perspective on their life, onmanifestation, on who they be.
I love making this workaccessible for everyone
neurodivergent thinkers, authorsbecause so much of the
(12:01):
mainstream manifestation adviceout there, it just I don't know,
it's a bit wonky and it doesn'tfit the way that my brain works
, which meant, as I expandedinto neurodivergence, it doesn't
fit yours either, and I get it.
But the more I sat with thatthought, the idea that I was
playing small the more Irealized that it was true.
And it continued to expand intothis platform as well.
(12:24):
Because here's the thing Iwasn't just giving away ideas
and insights.
I was giving away my deepestbreakthroughs, the ones that
have taken me years to refine,the strategies that I know
change lives, and I was doing itin a way that didn't always
allow people to go deep enoughto integrate them, always allow
(12:47):
people to go deep enough tointegrate them.
And in that process I realizednot just for myself but for
others that manifestation isn'tjust about what you think or
what you're trying to get at inyour subconscious mind is
definitely about what you embody, who you be, who you literally
be.
Now you can have all theknowledge in the world about how
manifestation works.
You can listen to every podcast, read every book, journal every
(13:08):
morning.
But if you don't embody whatyou're learning, if you don't
integrate it into your nervoussystem, into your actions, then
it stays in the realm of theory.
And I realized that I had beenkeeping myself in that cycle.
I was very comfortable in therealm of theory.
Now, don't get me wrong, Ipractice all the things that I
talk about.
(13:29):
I create and manifest somewonderful things.
But that next level, that bigjump, that quantum leap that
I've been calling in for years,that's the part that's been
eluding me.
And I realized it's because Iwas giving, giving, giving, but
I wasn't allowing myself tofully step into the level of
leadership, of thoughtleadership that I was being
(13:51):
called to right, because trueimpact doesn't come from just
giving everything away.
It comes from creatingcontainers of transformation.
It comes from calling in thepeople who are truly ready to
commit, to go beyond justconsuming information and
actually applying it to theirlives.
Look, I get that.
A lot of us are learners I havehigh learner in my chart.
(14:13):
A lot of us have high input.
But we have to incorporatethose things to truly see the
transformation that we want.
And I am, if nothing else, ifyou've learned nothing else
about me so far I am someone whois not afraid of change and
will burn everything down inorder to create transformation.
(14:34):
I liken myself often to aphoenix, because it does not
bother me to let go of literallyeverything in order to
shapeshift into something new.
If that be the case, if that'swhat I need to do.
When I left my husband of 13plus years and started a new
life, I literally walked awayfrom my house, my family,
(14:57):
everything and started new, andit was a Phoenix moment.
That's why I know right nowit's a time to shift, and it's
also why I'm evolving ManifestDifferently into these two
versions.
So, just to go a little bitdeeper, this is the free podcast
, right?
This is the one that you'regoing to have access to on all
the platforms.
I will continue to do it weeklyand, of course, I'll be
(15:20):
continuing to give you powerfulideas, deep insights and
paradigm shifts.
This space is not goinganywhere, but it's going to be
more focused on the what and thewhy.
Why certain manifestationtechniques, why neurodivergence
struggle with mainstream methods, why embodiment is the missing
link for most of us Now manifestdifferently the deep end.
(15:42):
That's going to be the placewhere we take things to the next
level.
This is where we get into thehow and the now how to actually
integrate these shifts into yourlife, how to experiment with
manifestation techniques thatfit your unique nervous system
and mindset, how to embody yourfuture self in real time.
Because here's what I know thebiggest transformations happen
(16:03):
when you commit at a deeperlevel.
And that's not some abstractidea either.
It's backed by science.
Our brains and nervous systemsare wired to prioritize what we
invest in.
When we put a little skin inthe game, whether that's time,
energy focus or financialinvestment, we're signaling to
our subconscious that this ismost important.
(16:25):
We tell the universe I'mserious about this.
And when it happens, thingsmove, manifestations accelerate,
reality shifts, quantum leapshappen.
That's why the people who getthe biggest results aren't the
ones who passively consumecontent.
They're the ones who activelyengage and I'm high activator in
(16:46):
my CliftonStrengths, so that'ssomething for me that I know I
will definitely do.
I will take information and Iwill leap.
But they're also the ones whostep into spaces where they can
integrate, experiment andactually do the work right, and
that's exactly what the deep endis going to be.
It's a space for those of youwho are ready to go beyond
listening and start embodyingyour manifestations in real time
(17:08):
.
This is a space where I canshare things I wouldn't share on
a public platform becausethey're too powerful, too
nuanced or simply too deep for afree podcast format.
A space where I'll do real-timemanifestation experiments with
you together, where we'll getthe behind-the-scenes insights
into what I'm currentlymanifesting and how I'm doing it
(17:28):
.
Where you'll have access to theexact methods I use to rewire
my own thoughts, regulate mynervous system and align with my
next level reality.
And, most importantly, it'sgoing to be a space where you're
not just learning aboutmanifestation.
You're living it, becauseknowledge isn't enough.
You have to embody it.
So, if you've been feeling thepull to go deeper, if you're
(17:51):
ready to stop playing small inyour own manifestations, if
you're ready to take what youknow and actually start living
it, then the deep end is whereyou need to be.
Now, before we wrap up, I wantyou to take a moment and check
in with yourself.
Where in your life have youbeen playing small?
Where have you been consuminginformation without fully
(18:11):
integrating it?
What would it look like to goall in on your next level?
Because that's what this shiftis all about.
It's not just for me, but it'sfor you too.
This is about all of usstepping into a new level of
manifestation mastery, becausewhen you are surrounding
(18:32):
yourself with people who aretaking things to the next level,
you are literally elevatingevery single aspect of yourself
your own vibration, your ownmindset, everything shifts.
And if that's resonating withyou, if you feel the pull in
your gut, if your whole body islighting up with a yes, then I
can't wait to see you inside thedeep end.
(18:53):
So, now that we've talked aboutthe shift happening, why it's
evolving, what it means for youand how you can step into this
next level with me, I want tobring this back to you, okay?
Because at the end of the day,this isn't just about a podcast
or new offering.
This is about expansion.
It's about alignment and growth.
Because here's the thing yourmanifestations are already
(19:15):
waiting for you.
They exist in a reality that'sjust a few steps ahead.
The version of you who alreadyhas received them is real.
They're not someday, they'rehere right now, and the only
thing standing between you andthem is embodiment not just
thinking about it, not justwishing for it, not just
(19:36):
visualizing actually becomingthem.
And that's what this shift inthe podcast represents, because
when you truly decide thatyou're ready for something new,
something more, the universemoves.
When you invest in your futureself, whether that's through
time or energy, or commitment orfinancial investment, you send
a powerful signal.
(19:56):
I'm not waiting for mymanifestations anymore.
I'm stepping into them now.
So, as you sit with everythingwe've talked about today, I want
you to ask yourself what's thenext level version of me doing
differently?
For me, it's they're takingbolder action, right.
Maybe they're trustingthemselves more.
I know that's what I'mdefinitely working on, because I
(20:17):
have a tendency to value andovervalue other people's work
more than my own, and that stemsfrom childhood.
I know where it comes from, butI do it anyway and I'm working
through it.
Maybe they're investing intheir growth in a way they never
have before.
This is definitely one of thosesteps for me.
I'm looking at the way I want toshow up the person I want to be
and how I want to be receivedin this world and in my own
(20:44):
understanding of what I get tobe and do and have, and how I
want my connections with mysoulmate students if that's the
case.
But you feel deeper than that.
It doesn't feel like students.
It feels like my soulmatepeople, like my tribe right.
Maybe they're even steppinginto rooms where they're no
longer the smartest person therebecause they know that's where
(21:07):
real transformation happens Forme.
I have a tendency to lingerback and to listen and expect or
think that other people'sthoughts are deeper than my own,
and when I don't find that, Irealize that very often I am one
of the smartest people in theroom and I want to challenge
myself.
I want to go into those placeswhere I'm like blown away,
(21:31):
because I'm not one of thosepeople who's ever scared to be
around those who have moreinformation than me.
I always come at things withcuriosity, as you probably can
tell.
Whatever it is, I want you tofeel into the energy of what
that next level version of youis doing okay, because the more
you align with that version ofyou, the one who already has
(21:51):
what you're calling in, thefaster your manifestations will
materialize.
This is your invitation to stepinto more.
Are you ready?
So here we are, right at theedge of something new.
If you've been listening tothis and feeling that pull, the
one that says I'm ready for more, this is your sign, because
this moment it's a manifestationin itself.
(22:13):
You didn't stumble upon thisepisode by accident.
You didn't hear these words, atleast this far into the podcast
episode, without reason.
Something in you is ready for ashift, and if you've been
waiting for the right moment togo deeper into your
manifestation practice, ifyou're craving more than just
ideas and insights, but actualintegration, real-time
(22:34):
experiments and a supportivespace to apply what you're
learning, then I want to inviteyou to manifest differently.
The deep end.
This is where we're going totake everything we're talking
about here on this podcast andbring it to life.
It's where I'll be sharing thestep-by-step methods I use to
manifest in a way that actuallyworks for neurodivergent minds.
It's where we go beyond justunderstanding manifestation and
(22:57):
start living it.
And here's the thing when youstep into the deep end.
You're not just signing up formore content.
You're making a declaration toyourself and the universe, a
declaration that you're ready toembody your manifestations,
that you're stepping into yourhighest version of yourself
right now and that you trustthat, the moment you commit, the
(23:19):
universe is going to rise tomeet you.
So if you're feeling this pull,if you're ready to align to
your next level self, check outthe deep end.
On Substack, I'm doing so muchwork over there.
I am combining all that I do.
There are different sub stacksections to my sub stack where I
(23:41):
talk about manifestingdifferently, where I talk about
authorship, where I talk aboutthe different types of stories I
create, and then just the weird, wild, wacky, big ideas that I
often have.
And insideifferently which isone of the sub stacks the sub
sub stacks, if you want to callit that is that podcast.
It's easy.
(24:02):
So you just head over tomanifestdifferentlycom, forward,
slash 12.
And I'll have the link in mysub stack so that you can get
immediate access to everythingwe're diving into the new
podcast.
This new expanded podcast willkick off next week, march 26.
, and we'll always supplementwhat we're talking about on this
particular show, so listen tothis one first, if you would
(24:24):
like, or just hop straight intothe bigger podcast episode,
because I'll be diving into thedeeper, step by step strategies,
how it's impacting mepersonally, what I'm doing to
shift all of those things,because I feel like this is my
next level calling.
This is the community I'mtrying to build, because I want
(24:45):
those who are most at that samelevel of vibration, at the same
level of knowledge, who want tomaster this as much as I do,
right?
So are you in?
Because I can't wait to meetyou there.
I can't wait to show you all ofthe deep, insightful, crazy
(25:06):
thoughts that go in my mindsometimes, all the things that
I'm manifesting and how I'mworking on it.
Whether I succeed or whether Ifail, the aspects I'm working
through like this is going to bea deeper level of vulnerability
, a deeper level of trust inmyself and in my community.
I don't know what to expectfrom it yet.
I just know that this is thedirection that I'm being called.
(25:30):
So there you have it.
That is what's been happeninghere in the background of
manifesting differently from myneurodivergent perspective.
So, after all of this, I wantyou to remember you have the
power always to create yourreality.
(25:50):
So go out there and manifestdifferently.
