Manifestation is talked about constantly — and somehow still confusing. So we brought in Emily Childers to help make it make sense.

In this episode, we break down what manifestation actually is (and what it’s NOT), why it’s everywhere right now, and what it looks like when it finally clicks. Lexie shares her “beginner” perspective — naming what you want, believing you’re allowed to want it, then showing up differently. Emily explains manifestation as energy + alignment put into action (you still have to do the work). And Madi connects it to neuroscience — how your brain filters reality based on what it thinks matters (hello RAS), plus why your nervous system state affects everything from creativity to pattern recognition.

Emily shares how grief and gratitude were the starting point for her journey, why “be it until you see it” beats “fake it until you make it,” and how signs and synchronicities became little checkpoints that she’s in alignment. We also talk about letting go of control, why outcome-clinging creates lack energy, and why the real question isn’t “what do I want?” — it’s “how do I want to feel?”

We also put Emily in the spiritual hot seat: crystals, tarot, readings, full moon rituals, cleansing energy, sage vs palo santo, intuition vs logic, and the airy fairy” practice she’d recommend even to skeptics.
