Manifesting from Your Most Authentic Self

Manifesting your goals is about so much more than just setting an intention and taking action. To truly bring your dreams to life, you need to start from a deeply authentic place—the version of you that feels aligned with your core values and truest self.

But what does it mean to be your most authentic self?

It’s the version of you that existed when you were born—before any of life’s conditioning, trauma, shame, or limiting beliefs took hold. This is the essence of who you are at a soul level, free of programming and societal expectations.

The challenge is that over time, life’s experiences create layers of conditioning, and we can lose touch with this authentic self. That’s where the work begins—clearing those layers to reconnect with your true self. This is what To Be Magnetic (TBM) calls “unblocking,” and it’s also the foundation of the work I do with my clients using Emotional Release Technique (ERT).

When you create goals from this place of authenticity, they feel true, aligned, and deeply fulfilling. But that’s only the beginning! To make those goals a reality, there are three key components you need to embody (this is taken from To Be Magnetic, they go much deeper in to this process, I talk more at the end about this):

1) Be Expanded

Expansion is about believing that your goals are possible for you. If you don’t truly believe that something is achievable, it will be almost impossible to bring it into your reality. This is where the concept of Expanders comes in.

An Expander is someone you identify with who has already achieved what you want to manifest. They embody the success, relationship, lifestyle, or personal growth you desire, allowing you to “see it to believe it.”

For example, if your goal is to create a thriving business while homeschooling your kids, finding someone who’s already doing this can show you that it’s possible. Seeing their journey helps dissolve the belief that it’s “out of reach” or “not for you.” Instead, it shifts your mindset to: “If they can do it, so can I!”

2) Be Unblocked

Blocks are the limiting beliefs and unresolved emotions that hold us back. These often show up as self-doubt, procrastination, fear, or a sense of being stuck. They’re like invisible walls between you and your goals.

Unblocking is the process of releasing these stuck emotions and reprogramming your subconscious to align with your authentic values and desires. When you’re unblocked, you feel open, free, and grounded. You set boundaries that honor your needs, and you’re no longer held back by old patterns that no longer serve you.

Both TBM’s work and ERT focus on this unblocking process, clearing away the noise of societal expectations or painful past experiences so you can step into a state of magnetism. When you’re unblocked, you’re naturally aligned with your goals, and opportunities seem to flow with ease.

3) Take Aligned Action

Action is an essential part of manifesting, but it’s important to note that aligned action is not the same as busywork.

Most people start with action—creating to-do lists, hustling, and doing all the “right” things to make their dreams come true. But when the actions don’t work or seem to backfire, it’s often because the other pieces (expansion and unblocking) aren’t in place.

Aligned action feels different. It’s guided by intuition, fueled by clarity, and rooted in your authentic self. When you’re expanded and unblocked, the steps you need to take become clearer, and the process feels more natural—less like forcing and more like flowing.

Bringing It All Together

Manifesting isn’t about forcing or faking it until you make it. It’s about aligning deeply with who you are, clearing what’s standing in your way, and taking inspired, aligned action to bring your dreams to life.

For me, this process has been transformative. As I’ve worked through the Authenticity Challenge from TBM, I’ve noticed a shift in how I show up in my day-to-day life. Dropping into my authentic values—freedom, exploration, fun, and connection—has allowed me to say no to what doesn’t align and create more ease and flow in my days.
