    16. 'Rejection Is Divine Protection & Redirection'

    Today’s episode is inspired from a Gabby Bernstein quote I live by: 'Rejection Is Divine Protection & Redirection’, and that I have found to be profoundly true in my performing career. I share how I manifest my desires through rejections, and some personal audition stories of how things not working out at certain auditions ✨really✨ worked out for me 🪽 Including one of my first cruise ship auditions and my Tokyo Disney Audition (did you guys know I was actually cut in the last round of their dancer auditions?? And I went on to perform there for over 3 years 🤭✨ this story is WILD and I cannot wait for you to hear it!)   From my heart to yours,   ENJOY x   Join the Instagram fam 🫶✨⬇️  https://www.instagram.com/manifesting_with_grace?igsh=Z2o5bzhpanhsNWF6 DM ‘Mastery’ for 1:1 mentoring  @manifesting_with_grace . .

    14. It Means What We Make It Mean

    Today’s episode is a deep dive into the meanings we assign to events - being cut in auditions, contracts not being extended, not being chosen for certain roles or gigs etc, and how this significantly affects our confidence, self concept, perspective and ability to manifest our career dreams. I share my 3 step method for transmuting experiences that we’ve derived negative meaning and self doubt from - into our greatest power, confidence and clarity, and in turn, aligning swiftly with our career desires.   Tune in for stories that I share from my 11+ years as professional dancer, and to learn how emotional maturity, dismantling shame and being responsible for what WE make a situation mean is our greatest gift and manifesting ‘hack’ to expand our vibration and accelerate our paths to desired roles, contracts, and opportunities!   From my heart to yours, ENJOY x     Join the Instagram fam 🫶✨⬇️  https://www.instagram.com/manifesting_with_grace?igsh=Z2o5bzhpanhsNWF6 DM for 1:1 mentoring  @manifesting_with_grace .

    10. Feeling *On Edge* on the Job?… Is it Their Stuff, or My Stuff?

    Today’s episode is all about that feeling of being *on edge* whilst on a job, where your own deepest feelings of safety seem to be tied into how the people you’re working with perceive you & if your performance is ‘enough’… ’Is what I’m doing ok? Are they happy with it? Will I be hired again?’… - we’ve all been there… In this episode I talk about: ✨The potent question to ask to discern if you’re picking up on other people’s stuff, or maybe unconsciously projecting your own ✨How to sharpen your own discernment & awareness of energetics and projections when on jobs & performing ✨A story from my own career of opening a new show with seemingly high stakes and an attack of people pleasing & self doubt ✨How to come back into your own Alignment, self assuredness, magnetism and clear, resourced channel (and my favourite tools for doing do)   From my heart to yours,   ENJOY x   Join the Instagram fam 🫶✨⬇️ https://www.instagram.com/manifesting_with_grace?igsh=Z2o5bzhpanhsNWF6 DM for 1:1 mentoring  @manifesting_with_grace   Previous Potent Episodes Mentioned in Today’s Episode: 8.
