Have you ever affirmed so hard you thought you might pop a blood vessel and still nothing moved in your life? Welcome to manifestation burnout. In this episode, I dig into why endless affirmations can leave you exhausted and discouraged, and what actually creates change.

Spoiler: White-knuckling your way through affirmations and "just affirming more/harder" isn't the way. It’s about aligning your state so your brain and body believe it’s already true. From that place, you stop fighting yourself and start magnetizing what’s meant for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why affirmations sometimes CAN work... but why they often don’t.

• The conscious vs. unconscious mismatch that keeps you stuck.

• How repetition helps the brain (and how it can backfire if you’re affirming from lack).

• The role of your nervous system and why coherence matters more than hustle.

• Practical ways to reset if you’re in manifestation burnout.

• A quick practice to shift from forcing words to actually feeling the state you want to create.

One Sparkly Truth to Take With You:

The universe isn’t counting how many times you write it down. It’s responding to who you are when the pen hits the page.
