If you're feeling frustrated and stuck because your visualizations and affirmations aren't leading to the manifestation you desire, then you are not alone! You may already be taking action by repeating positive statements or creating vision boards, only to find that nothing is changing in your life. Instead of experiencing the success and abundance you're seeking, you may be feeling disheartened and doubtful about your ability to manifest your desires.

Flowdreaming, a dynamic technique developed by Summer McStravick, provides a distinct approach to manifesting dreams and desires. Unlike typical manifestation strategies that might involve rituals or repeated intentions, Flow Dreaming stresses the importance of emotions. By harnessing the power of our feelings and the experiences we wish to cultivate, we can communicate more effectively with the universe and manifest our ideal outcomes.

 

In This Episode, You'll Discover How To...

  • Master manifesting with the powerful Flowdreaming practice.
  • Embrace healing and learn valuable lessons from life's struggles
  • Shift from reacting to responding and take control of your responses.
  • Rebuild trust in yourself, others, and God/the Universe for a brighter future.

 

"Practice feeling the way you want to feel so that you can graduate from those life majors you're ready to let go of." - Dr. Jen Riday

Dr. Laura Froyen joins me again to chat about the power of taking time for yourself. As moms and caregivers, it's easy to get caught up in taking care of everyone else's needs. But what about our own? 

Laura shares her perspective on why retreats like my annual Vibrant Happy Women Retreat are so rejuvenating. Getting away allows us to get out of the deep end and stop treading water - to rest, reconnect with ourselves, broaden our views, and realign our inner compass. 

In our conversation, Laura reflects on how attending retreats has helped her rediscover her own identity beyond motherhood. We also talk about why time away is healthy for partnerships, allowing spouses and kids to step up at home. 

I hope Laura's wisdom inspires you to prioritize self-care, whether through travel or simple moments of solitude. As she reminds us - we need time to just be, free from others' demands. It's essential for living vibrantly and authentically. 

And if you want to join us at this year's retreat in Mexico Feb 7-11th, visit JenRiday.com/retreat

  • The unique way a retreat illuminates the path ahead for you. 
  • The power of being embraced by a community of welcoming and kind-hearted women. 
  • The importance of remembering what it's like to be an individual human being without anyone needing anything from you.
  • And much more!

 

"It's okay to remember what it's like to be a whole and independent human being where no one else needs anything from you." - Jen Riday
