    50. The AI Manifestation Lesson: How Clarity and Focus Shape Your Reality

    In this episode, I share the surprising manifestation lesson I learned while playing with AI image generators, and how it perfectly mirrors the way our intentions shape our reality. Just like AI reflects the clarity (or vagueness) of our prompts, the universe reflects the clarity (or vagueness) of our energy. Here’s what I dive into: How manifestation actually works when you understand your energy as the “prompt” the universe responds toWhy vague intentions create vague results — in AI and in your real lifeHow focusing on the right things shifts your external world faster than effort or forceThe energetic mirror principle: you can’t change the reflection until you change the signal you’re sendingHow social media algorithms mimic universal law and show you what your attention is programmingThe difference between dreaming and worrying — and why one expands your possibilities while the other contracts themHow to use visualization and sensory detail so your mind and body feel safe in the vibration of your desiresWhat “thoughtforms” are and how they shape the energetic frequency around youWhy grounding yourself first makes you more capable of handling real-life challengesHow to align your energy with what you actually want, instead of unconsciously manifesting from fearThis episode is your reminder that manifestation isn’t mystical wishful thinking — it’s energetic clarity. When you focus your attention with intention, get specific about what you desire, and tune your energy to match it, the universe mirrors that precision right back to you. Send me a text!

    49. What Travels Reveals When Life Gets Too Automatic

    In this episode, I’m unpacking the clarity that arrived while traveling in Serbia with my family. Getting out of my routine showed me which parts of my life had slipped into automation—and which ones I actually want to bring back with intention. I share what it felt like to communicate without shared language, why my “outsider” status became a strength, and the surprising reminder that play is one of my deepest purposes. This is an honest look at perspective, presence, and the little adventures that end up shaping everything. Send me a text!

    48. Too Hot, Too Much, Too Fast: A Lesson in Listening to Your Body

    Feeling “off” after something that should have been good for you? In this episode of Star Potential, I share the surprising aftermath of a spontaneous hot yoga class—an experience that revealed just how quickly the body speaks when we’re in the wrong season of intensity. We explore why certain wellness practices that once felt supportive can suddenly become depleting, how to recognize when your body is shifting into a chapter of nourishment and gentleness, and the simple signals we tend to ignore when life gets busy or loud. You’ll learn:  • How to identify when your body is in a different energetic season  • Why dehydration, headaches, or tension can be honest invitations—not failures  • The spiritual simplicity of slowing down and tuning inward  • When to shift your practices from “pushing” to “replenishing”  • Why listening to your body is a core part of intuition, alignment, and your soul shift If you’ve been wondering why something that used to work suddenly… doesn’t, this episode will help you trust your inner signals, honor your current chapter, and choose the practices that actually support your highest frequency.

    44. Stop Saying You're Busy: The Art of Being Fully Here
