Smart Goals

It really took "The Diary of a Teenage Girl" for me to remember and realize that I don’t need a man, that I can make my own decisions, and that they can be good decisions. - Miranda Bailey   How does an Oscar-nominated and Spirit-Award-winning producer, director, music composer, actress, innovative CEO, inspirational mom, wife, and Aquarian Goddess transform the expectations of a woman in a man’s world? The one and only, Miranda Bailey, is getting candid about her career in the Hollywood industry, parenting, relationships, and most importantly, about the relationship with herself.   We examine empowering music, astrology signs, and the “Me Too” movement’s effects on women. In addition, Miranda tells us how her company, The Cherry Picks, promotes female and non-binary critical voices in Hollywood. She dissects expectations put upon men and women in society and how we can collectively transform these limiting expectations.   Miranda teaches us to listen to our intuition and overcome doubt to create and expand anything we desire to experience. In addition, she describes how she deals with feelings of overwhelm and how she surrenders to the process of creation while seizing each day. Her knowledge and wisdom are crucial for us as women because if we don’t do it, someone else will. It’s not about doing it perfectly; it’s about doing it and doing it now.   We had just moved to different states, and our wifi was questionable at the time of this recording. But it turned out great, and I’m so grateful to Ms. Bailey for her time and expertise. Get ready to laugh your head off and be empowered to bring your ideas into earthly existence. Your time is now, so press play and listen to this fantastic leader’s secrets to success and happiness.    For more information, please go to: Miranda Bailey Website Instagram IMDb   The Cherry Picks Website Instagram   Cold Iron Pictures Website Instagram   Want to ManiFAST: Manifest Faster?

Women belong in all places where decisions are being made...it shouldn't be that women are the exception. – Ruth Bader Ginsburg In today’s episode, I’m interviewing an intelligent digital Goddess, Shannon Bain, creating quick success for her sought-after expertise and design as CEO of Shannon Bain Digital. She started her company in the spring of 2020, and since then, she’s elevated Shannon Bain Digital to a FULL calendar, 365 days per year, all in less than one year. Yep, this Leo leader knows her stuff in the digital world of website design and SEO, also known as search engine optimization. Today, she is sharing her advice with you around: Her marketing strategy with how I discovered her on social media by typing in keywords for website design and SEO. How she started her business during the pandemic, grew her income and clients very quickly, and gives you tips for starting your business right now or pivoting yours during challenging times in the world. Explains the disconnect between how the client views your brand and how YOU view your brand. She’s here to elevate your reach through her efficient and creative methods. Bonus! How to get repeat buyers. Sharing a big mistake of spreading herself too thin and how trying to focus on so many things at one time doesn’t help you grow your company. Taking on paid projects when they weren’t the right fit for her values for her business- money is NOT everything, but it WILL flow to you when you stay true to your values and morals. She tells you how she stays motivated when these types of experiences happen. And how the magic happens when you make that decision and commit to it using consistency, regardless of “mistakes” that may occur.

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail. - Confucious 2021 has been a whirlwind of a year filled with hugely positive manifestations mixed with trauma and loss. I had to step away for a bit because my best friend (my Golden Retriever) passed away, I accepted a career promotion at the University of Cincinnati in the College of Medicine, and I moved across the country for the first time in my life. All of this was happening in the summer/fall of this year. They are big changes to navigate through, but even majorly positive manifestations also require adapting and adjusting to your newly up-leveled life. Now that 2021 is ending and we're gearing up for 2022, I’m kicking off new episodes of the Manifest It! podcast with the beautiful and talented Mona Loring, CEO of MLC PR, Conscious Living PR, and the Conscious Healing Podcast. She's an intuitive and intelligent Gemini Queen who works with prominent Hollywood and entertainment industry figures. She also leads the world with wisdom, honesty, transparency, integrity, and strength (all rolled up into one). It's so needed right now! In today’s episode, Mona informs you when it’s a good time to invest in PR for your business, how to set realistic expectations of yourself and of others, how to own up to your mistakes, and how to keep going despite them happening. She’s a manifesting queen, and she has a lot of wisdom to bestow upon all of us. Listen now to know how she manages and conquers all things possible, plus a funny story about Kevin Costner.   For more information, please go to: Mona Loring MLC PR Conscious Living PR The Conscious Healing Podcast   Instagram:  @consciouslivingpr @healingwithmona   Want to ManiFAST: Manifest Faster?

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need. – Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu   In today’s episode, I am interviewing a soul-sister, Jennifer Peterson, who is a hugely talented, goodhearted, award-winning producer/director, a passionate animal activist, and the host of the very successful podcast series, And Justice For Animals.  As a filmmaker, Jennifer has created award-winning content for top studios including Disney and Paramount; and she was recently a producer on the Hallmark Channel’s American Rescue Dog Show. A graduate of the prestigious American Film Institute, Jennifer uses her film training as often as possible to create content that encourages positive change.  She wrote and directed three animal welfare PSA's, one of which won the nationally voted Humane Society of the United States People's Choice Award. A decade ago, Jennifer began organizing peaceful anti-puppy mill protests in Los Angeles, CA. These campaigns garnered nationwide attention for their effectiveness in helping close down several abusive pet stores, and in 2012 Jennifer was able to convince one of the largest mall developers in the country to stop leasing space to pet stores that sold dogs. Jennifer's production work often finds her interviewing A-list talent: Nicole Kidman, Justin Timberlake, Morgan Freeman are just a few who have sat across from her, and Jennifer's kindness and sense of humor create an environment where guests feel safe to open up. Creating the podcast And Justice For Animals was the natural next step for Jennifer, combining her love of in-depth conversation with her passion for helping animals.  Jennifer lives in Long Beach with her two rescue dogs and helps support local rescues with her real estate work. For Jennifer, it is not about what she does for a living but making sure whatever she does feels authentic and positively gives back to society.     This one is near and dear to my heart because I love animals so much and because the soul connection I feel with Jennifer as a fellow empath pulls at my heartstrings.    If you are feeling super insecure, left out, unloved, unaccepted, and constantly making “mistakes,” then this episode is for you. Jennifer makes me laugh, too!   Key Topics of Discussion: How Jennifer juggles wearing multiple hats and streams of income in her career in the entertainment industry, real estate, her animal welfare movement, and being open to shaking things up via change to manifest all her desires The definition of “happiness” and “success” in your 20s, 30s, 40s, etc. The power of CHOICE and how manifestations emerge because of it Overcoming thoughts of scarcity and limited beliefs after tragedy No, you’re NOT crazy, you’re empathetic, and you’re needed in this world Identifying your own “compromise” cues because you want to feel accepted by others How surface-based “image” in society can be a disguise as “blessings” (ex: success, money, fancy cars, big houses, etc.) and what to do when you’ve realized all is not what it seems Lessons learned from Hollywood narcissists (yes, golden nuggets from them DO exist) How to obtain your power for the long-run and attract TO you for your long-term happiness and success (Write Into Reality as I call it) And, yes, we spill a little Hollywood tea! Her award-winning work with animals and why rescuing pets from shelters is crucial for your long-term benefits (and for your WALLET) over purchasing “designer” pets from breeders…we talk about our pups, too And I share with Jennifer how I manifested my version of Keanu Reeves!   For more information, please go to: And Justice for Animals Website: https://www.andjusticeforanimals.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AndJusticeForAnimalsPodcast IG: @andjusticeforanimalspodcast   Filmmaking  Website: https://www.jenniferpetersondirector.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenniferPetersonDirector   Real Estate  Website: https://www.SweetCaliforniaPads.com  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SweetCaliforniaPads IG: @JenniferPeterson_CaLiving     * On a side note: I would like to give a shout-out to ABC Channel 8 News (WFAA) for the adoption movements they give voice to on TV because they provide loving homes for both pets and children in Dallas, Texas.

It's not gonna be easy, but it's gonna be worth it. - Movie, Runaway Bride In today's episode, I interview one of my most favorite people and voice/acting coach, Melanie Veazey, the creator of Impact Coaching and Wellness. She is sharing her wisdom about the power of using your confident voice because it's an instrument that creates a big impact but often gets overlooked for your success. Whether you are an aspiring singer, actor/actress, or you just want to polish your stage and digital-stage presence, Melanie is amazing at her craft. She has worked in both Hollywood and Broadway as well as owning several successful businesses mentoring famous actors/actresses over the years. She is ready to get to the core of what's holding you back while you sip on the tea she serves you about this industry. The bad news? Life is full of ups and downs. The good news? You can still manifest your dreams! Sidenote: we also talk about some of our favorite skincare and self-care rituals. After recording this podcast I hired her as my own voice coach so I can work on my stage presence, too. :)    Key Topics of Discussion: Social media tech giants and how they train us to "play the game" (but it's not necessary when manifesting your desires) What nobody tells you working in the industry of Hollywood, Broadway, and owning your own business   Why your voice and presence is a MAJOR key to becoming successful in your line of work (if you are confident and know how to talk, people listen) Why "Writing into Reality" (as I call it) really works for ManiFASTing Sidenote: what to expect as you age when it comes to your self-care and the importance of what she practices through her habits to look as young and amazing as she does (nope, she didn't have botox or surgery, either) How she learned to trust herself and stop allowing others to define her For more information, please go to: Melanie Veazey Instagram: @impactcoachingandwellness    * Grab my top skincare and self-care picks *   Want to manifest faster?

There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. – George Sand Love is one of the most confusing things we experience in life, and believe me, I’ve had my share of heartbreak and confusion over the years.

Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it. - Judy Blume Today I’m going to teach you how to manifest your desires even while feeling fearful. I know, this sounds contradictory. But fear exists because if it didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel it or even know what it is or how to describe it. You just wouldn’t focus on it or acknowledge it AT ALL. You wouldn’t be…fearful. I know, I went there! In all seriousness, fear is not something to be fearful of, and in this episode, I’m going to teach you how to look at “fear”, and your desires, as bouncing super balls. Not only will you shift your description and expectations of fear through your new approach, but you’ll also realize how to manifest your desires more quickly using super balls as a metaphor, and by using your body. You ManiFAST: Manifest Faster! Fear is whatever you choose it to be or feel like, and using super balls is a great way to put it all into perspective and approach it in a POSITIVE and EFFECTIVE way for your Smart Goals to emerge into your physical realm. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode, Smart Goals, I urge you to take a listen to that as well because this episode is Part 2 of Smart Goals. Are you ready!? I’m doing this with you, so this will be fun!

If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy, and inspires your hopes. – Andrew Carnegie Today I’m going to share with you what I do at the beginning of each new year and why I do this. I consider this to be what I call "smart goals", not just regular goals because you're not only setting your intentions, but you're taking manifesting action. SMART goals. Manifesting is basically a "resolution" ANY day of the year, not just for each January month. But, in order to ManiFAST (Manifest Faster), I perform this specific type of manifesting action...listen to find out, and below are my smart goals for this year. Let's do this together! Make your smart goals list as well and share it with me. Publish a third best-selling book Edit my fourth book already written Have more TV interviews and podcast interviews to teach an additional 100,000 souls how to ManiFAST: Manifest Faster. Partner with a high-profile company that focuses on self-help, spirituality, and success. Be interviewed by Hoda Kotb, Brene’ Brown, Gabby Bernstein, and Stephen Colbert (pipe dreams!) Continue my journey towards a healthier body and life (I'm so thankful for all my progress thus far) Manifest an extra $17,000.00 so I can move into a home that has a quiet and friendly neighborhood. Every goal and desire in the list above I am ManiFASTing because every time I "Write into Reality" it emerges with ease into my physical sphere. I now surrender to the "how" and "when", and I'm available to ALL blessings coming my way. Thank you, Universe!

Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat. - F. Scott Fitzgerald At the beginning of this year, 2020, I made a post on my old Instagram profile that stated my word for the year was "perseverance." Little did I know what was coming to me in the months that followed. The definition of "perseverance" states: Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. This year has been absolutely challenging and heartbreaking, to say the least, for so many of us in the world, including self-help and spiritual business owners. We are thought leaders, we are supposed to shine our light of positivity onto others and crank out an interminable amount of inspiration. But, even as thought leaders and business owners, it's impossible to do so 100% of the time. Especially during a year that many consider being "cursed." Heck, even Teal Swan, had this happen to her a few weeks ago!  While on that day in January of this year, 2020, I had no idea what was coming to me for my business and personal life, I guess, in a way, I was tuning into my intuition and foreshadowing events that would help fill the role of the meaning of the word, "perseverance." And yes, what you focus on expands. But it's not what happens to you that determines your freedom of choice. Rather, it's how you choose to respond through your focus that expands. Listen now as I explain my top 3 business mistakes I made this year, and boy are they big ones, and how I'm choosing to overcome them. I'll give you a hint, this also involves the famous Japanese proverb: Fall down seven times, stand up eight.
