In this episode of Fine, I'll Talk About It, Danielle Young sits down with Terri Lee-Shield, mentor, writer, podcast host, and founder of Love School, to explore a different approach to trauma recovery and mental well-being.

    Manifesting From Lack: Why Vision Boards Backfire & How Real Connection Heals

    Content note: This episode includes a brief mention of suicide and the loss of a military veteran. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can call or text 988 in the U.S. to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7. Most of us were sold a version of manifestation that looks like a poster board of magazine cutouts. Cut out the dream house, the trip, the partner, stare at it daily, and wait. Star Staubach has a different take, and she says it out loud on this one. Star is a life coach of 16 years and the creator of the Bad Ass Manifestation Parties. She and Danielle pull apart the social-media version of manifesting and get into what works. Star's unpopular opinion: vision boards often pull their images straight from advertisements, so we end up chasing a feeling a product promised instead of the thing we actually wanted. Her fix is simple. Find the theme underneath the images, name it, and notice that the feeling you want is available right now. They also get into why high achievers stay stuck looking at the gap between where they are and where they want to be, missing how far they've already come. Both share their own history of stressing over vision boards and treating manifestation like one more thing to get right. The back half is where it really opens up. Star stepped away from coaching while she wrestled with toxic positivity and the privilege baked into the work, and started driving for Lyft. The people who got in her car changed her. She shares picking up a young woman leaving a facility in rural Kentucky and crossing the Ohio River with her, a mom whose veteran husband had died by suicide whose son she helped get a tenor sax, and a morning she came face to face with her own unconscious bias. The thread through all of it: get quiet, get curious, and let people show you who they are. You can hold your own beliefs and still see the human in front of you. About the guestStar Staubach has lived an eclectic life, the kind that gave her what friends lovingly call "Star Stories." Her early experiences, from growing up in chaos to living in Australia, shaped a lifelong draw to personal development and, 16 years ago, led her to become a life coach and facilitator of Bad Ass Manifestation Parties. At five, stranded on the roadside again, she told her mom, "We'll laugh about this later." That honest optimism stayed with her, deepened by compassion and experience. At 50, Star is grateful for her journey and the way it lets her meet others with presence, curiosity, and truth.
