Resolutions feel like punishment. Manifesting feels like flirting with the universe.

In this episode of Mic’d & Medicated, Caroline and Eva get unexpectedly inspired by The Secret—the idea that your thoughts aren’t just thoughts, they’re magnets. After years of forcing goals, obsessing over outcomes, and turning self-improvement into a personality flaw, they unpack why resolutions seldom work and why manifesting starts in your head.

They break down the law of attraction in a way that’s less crystal-healing cult and more usable life strategy: stop fixating on what you don’t want, get clearer about who you actually want to be, and notice how your mindset quietly runs the show. From gratitude and visualization to autopilot living and “inspired action” (aka doing things that don’t feel like torture), in this episode, they argue that belief plus action beats punishment every time.

But let’s be clear—some of The Secret is questionable. The idea that your thoughts alone make you fat? Hard sell. We’re pretty sure it’s not “thinking heavy” that does it—it’s McDonald’s, no exercise, and pretending errands count as cardio. This episode isn’t blind faith; it’s curiosity with a raised eyebrow.

They also tackle the real manifestation mystery: can you rewire your brain so you stop manifesting husbands with terrible taste in gifts? Or are we energetically attracting men who think a charging cord is a love language?

No joyless goal charts. No shame-based rules. Just better thoughts, better energy, and fewer ways to manifest your own misery.

If your thoughts are running the show anyway, you might as well cast them better.

Manifest, baby.

We’re two New York City women talking candidly about the chaos of modern life, from relationships, parenting, working in and out of the home, to what it takes to stay semi-sane in a world that expects you to hold it all together and be #blessed.

We couldn’t find an honest and vulnerable conversation — so we started one! If you need a laugh, a cry, or just want to hear someone else admit their flaws and validate your crazy, you’re in the right place. Be ready to be… Unfiltered, Unafraid, and UnExpert.
