Welcome back to Vibrations and Manifestations! Alicia and Jared explore the challenges of trying to manifest positive outcomes when life feels overwhelming; can we stay positive and manifest good things even when we're just trying to get by? Tune in to shift your mindset and explore faith and resilience in the face of adversity, helping you to maintain an optimistic outlook.

Are you feeling too tired, overwhelmed, or emotionally flat to “get in alignment”? You’re not alone—and you’re not failing. In this powerful episode of Vibrations and Manifestations, Alicia and Jared share raw personal stories, neuroscience-backed insights, and spiritual wisdom to remind you:

✨ Survival mode is not a block. It’s a starting point.

✨ You don’t have to feel good to manifest good.

✨ Your next step doesn’t need to be big—it just needs to be honest.

The emotional guidance scale (Abraham Hicks)

The science of stress (Dispenza, Huberman, Resmaa)

Gentle manifestation tools that actually help when you’re in survival mode

The “emotional override trap” and how to soften instead of force
