    Ep.32 Embracing Winter: Cozy, Slower, and Guilt-Free - A Hygge Conversation with Christine and Kelly

    Send us a text Welcome back to Organized Chaos Stories with Shabana. In this special bonus episode, recorded earlier in January and released as winter begins to soften, Shabana and her friends invite you to slow down, release guilt, and embrace the season of winter exactly as it is. This episode centers around the concept of Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) — a Nordic way of living that honors coziness, presence, warmth, connection, and intentional rest. Together with Christine and Kelly, you are led through a thoughtful, heart-centered conversation about allowing winter to be a season of flow rather than pressure. In This Episode, We Explore: What Hygge really means and how it can shift your relationship with winterLetting go of the need to rush, hustle, or “fix” yourself in JanuaryWhy slowing down is not laziness — it’s wisdomThe power of thoughts and how they shape our energy, emotions, and actionsCreating cozy rituals through lighting, scent, movement, and comfortEngaging the five senses to feel more grounded and supportedChoosing peaceful productivity instead of constant urgencyAllowing joy, rest, and small pleasures without guiltCozy Winter Themes Discussed: Soft lighting, candles, blankets, robes, and warm drinksSaunas, baths, and intentional self-careReading, hobbies, creative outlets, and learningMovement that fits the season (gentle workouts, walking, yoga)Decluttering, nesting, and honoring your natural rhythmsCommunity & Connection: This episode also highlights the importance of intentional community — gathering, sharing energy, slowing down together, and remembering that life was never meant to be lived alone. From monthly Reiki shares to friendships that shift with the seasons, this conversation reminds us that connection looks different in winter — and that’s okay. As winter continues, ask yourself: What do I need more of right now — rest, connection, creativity, or comfort?What is one small change I can make to feel more cozy and supported this week?How can I allow it instead of force?This episode is an invitation to choose softness, presence, and compassion for yourself — just for this season.

    Ep.29 Manifesting Mondays: The Prayer, the Flood, and the Remodel

    Send us a text Manifesting Mondays: The Prayer, the Flood, and the Remodel In this powerful Manifesting Mondays episode, Shabana shares a true story of how a simple prayer for paint and new carpet turned into a full-scale home transformation — but not in the way she expected. What started as a quiet desire and a journaled prayer unfolded through an unexpected flood, a season of chaos, and ultimately a remodel that blessed her family far beyond what they imagined. This episode is a reminder that manifestation doesn’t always arrive wrapped in ease — sometimes it comes disguised as disruption. In This Episode, You’ll Hear: ✨ The Prayer Shabana reflects on a season of wanting to update her builder-grade home while lacking the financial means to do so. Without fully understanding manifestation at the time, she prayed boldly — believing that God cared about both big and small desires — and asked for a way forward that felt impossible. 💧 The Flood In April 2018, while her husband was away on a work trip, an overflowing toilet caused water to move through nearly every part of the house. As overwhelming as the moment was, the damage followed an almost unbelievable pattern — touching just enough of each space to require a full restoration, while protecting belongings and people along the way. 🏠 The Remodel Through insurance coverage, unexpected generosity, and the right people showing up at the right time, the flood led to new paint, new carpet, kitchen upgrades, bathroom renovations, and even a brand-new furnace. What Shabana thought she was asking for expanded into something far greater — a complete renewal of her home. Key Takeaways: Manifestation doesn’t always look peaceful — sometimes it looks like everything falling apartPrayer, belief, and openness can create room for unexpected miraclesWhat feels like disruption may actually be divine redirectionYou may have already manifested something without realizing it yetShabana invites listeners to reflect on where chaos in their own lives may have been the doorway to something better — and to consider what might be possible if we allowed ourselves to ask bigger. ✨ Manifesting Mondays is a weekly series reminding you that your desires matter — and that even the messiest stories can become miracles.

    Ep.27 Manifesting Mondays: The Coffee Table Story

    Send us a text Manifesting Mondays: The Coffee Table In the first episode of Manifesting Mondays, I share a simple but powerful manifestation story—through something as ordinary as a coffee table. What began as a thought (“It would be nice to have a sturdier coffee table”) unfolded into a real-life lesson on how manifestation works. From a free table found on the side of the road to sanding, painting, and turning it into a meaningful part of our home, this story reminds us that manifestation often shows up in practical, unexpected ways. This episode is a reminder that manifestation doesn’t have to be big or flashy. It starts in the mind, unfolds through aligned action, and becomes physical in perfect timing. Thoughts first. Then things. This… or something better. Manifestation doesn’t have to be dramatic to be powerfulDesires often show up through aligned action and timingCommunity, creativity, and patience are part of the processWe are always manifesting—whether we realize it or notQuote to Remember “Manifestation always starts twice—first in the mind, then in the physical world.” Affirmation I trust my desires are valid.  I release the how and allow what’s meant for me to arrive.
