In today’s podcast episode I speak to Mindset, Manifestation and Transformation Coach, Gemma Dean. We discuss how manifesting a car crash and £3k pay out led to Gemma’s desire to learn more about manifestation and how she could use it for the greater good, and how that ultimately led to Gemma doing the work she now does in the world. We also discuss the process Gemma takes women through to ditch the emotional baggage, negative beliefs, self doubt, burnout and overwhelm, so that they can step into the most confident, worthy version of themselves and manifest the level 10 life that they truly desire. Gemma also chats through some of the techniques she uses including NLP, EFT, TIMEline therapy, and Theta Healing.
