    Ep. 43 Mainfesting Mondays; The Friendship Bullseye Exercise

    Send a text In this week’s Manifesting Mondays episode, Shabana shares a powerful mindset exercise to help you gain clarity around the friendships and relationships in your life. What do you do when you realize you’ve outgrown certain friendships? When you’re evolving and desire deeper, more aligned connections, but some relationships feel draining or toxic? Inspired by a conversation inside Cathy Heller’s This Abundant Life community, Shabana reflects on a time when she was navigating difficult coworker relationships while working as a personal trainer at a gym. Through journaling, prayer, and intention-setting, she discovered a simple but powerful visualization exercise she created called the Friendship Bull’s-Eye Exercise. What happened after she tried it surprised her—and it might surprise you too. This episode is a reminder that your thoughts are powerful, you are not stuck, and when you get clear about what you truly desire, your life can begin to shift in unexpected ways. In This Episode • Navigating friendships as you grow and evolve  • Why personal growth can shift relationship dynamics  • A simple manifestation exercise to gain clarity around the people in your life  • How intention and aligned action work together in manifestation The Friendship Bull’s-Eye Exercise Draw a bull’s-eye with four circles (like a target).Write your name or “Me” in the center circle.Add 5–10 people from your life in the surrounding circles based on how close they are to you.Draw an arrow next to each name:Toward the center = you want the relationship to grow closerAway from the center = you desire more distanceYou can also include future friendships you want to call into your life.Give it 3–6 months and notice how your relationships begin to shift as you align with your intentions. ✨ If this episode resonated with you: Share it with a friend, leave a review, or screenshot the episode and tag Shabana on social media. 🎙 Podcast: Organized Chaos Stories with Shabana 🌟 Host: Shabana Knight ✨ Series: Manifesting Mondays Support the show Today's Sponsor: 💌 Order your Happy Mail!

    Ep.42. A Magical Life After Adoption - Interviewed by Pam Sandrock from No Knockouts

At first, I hesitated to share another interview. I wondered if my audience might get tired of hearing my story. But then I remembered something important: no two conversations are ever the same. Just like no two snowflakes are alike, every interview reveals new layers, new perspectives, and new pieces of the journey. In this conversation, we talk about my adoption story, resilience, healing, and how sometimes going back to where our story began can unlock the freedom to move forward. Inside we talk about:  ✨ Being adopted from India & growing up in a loving adoptive family  ✨ Returning to India as an adult and visiting the orphanage where my story began  ✨ Releasing years of stored trauma, abandonment, and unanswered questions  ✨ How healing old wounds can create powerful ripple effects in your life  ✨ Starting my podcast and following intuitive “yes” moments  ✨ My work helping people declutter their homes and untangle mental clutter  ✨ Manifestation, abundance mindset, and saying yes to unexpected opportunities A Powerful Moment from the Episode: During my return to India, I visited the orphanage where I had once lived. Sitting with the assistant director and sharing my life story became one of the most healing experiences of my life. In that moment, I realized something profound:  I didn’t need all the answers to move forward.  I just needed to release the weight I had been carrying. Sometimes healing isn’t about finding every missing piece.  Sometimes it’s simply about letting go. Stick around until the end of the episode for a fascinating conversation about my birthday. Because I was found at a train station as a toddler, my official birthday was estimated by doctors based on my age at the orphanage.

    Ep. 40 🐾✨ Manifesting Mondays: Powerful Pets & How My Kids Manifested the Perfect Cats

    Send a text In this Manifesting Monday episode, Shabana shares a heartfelt (and slightly hilarious) story about how her children unknowingly manifested two cats — and how that experience became a powerful reminder of how manifestation truly works. Children don’t overthink the “how.”  They ask.  They believe.  They let go.  Then they go play. And that energy? It’s magnetic. When her kids repeatedly asked for a pet, Shabana set clear boundaries and very specific conditions: the cat had to be free, indoor, litter-box trained, vaccinated, and basically the perfect situation. She wasn’t actively searching — just open. Less than two weeks later, the exact opportunity appeared. What unfolded next became one of her family’s greatest blessings — and a daily reminder that when we ask, trust, and detach, life has a way of delivering in perfect timing. In This Episode: Why children are natural manifestersThe power of asking, believing, and letting goSetting intentions without forcing outcomesBoundaries + openness = alignmentHow pets teach presence, loyalty, and unconditional loveTrusting divine timingRecognizing everyday blessingsManifesting Wisdom from Our Pets: ✨ Love doesn’t need language.  ✨ Presence is power.  ✨ Joy is found in the ordinary.  ✨ Stillness teaches what noise never could.  ✨ Divine guidance doesn’t always shout — sometimes it purrs. Weekly Mantras: I receive divine wisdom in every form.I slow down enough to notice the lessons around me.I am guided by unconditional love.The universe speaks through energy, not just words.I trust what I feel, even when it’s quiet.If this episode touched your heart, please follow the show, leave a five-star review, and share it with someone who needs a little reminder that magic is often closer than we think.
