    167. Manifesting an Abundant Life with Cathy Heller

    Do you ever feel like you're a spectator in your own life – watching things happen rather than getting in the driver’s seat and making them happen?  If so, today’s guest is encouraging you to become the latter.  Cathy Heller, renowned teacher, podcaster, and author discusses with us how her belief in how each of us has the power to manifest our best life, magical examples she’s experienced first hand, and excerpts from her latest book,  “Abundant Ever After: Tools for Creating a Life of Prosperity and Ease,” available now for pre-order and released on December 3, 2024. Guest’s Website:  Home - Cathy Heller Book:  Abundant Ever After by Cathy Heller - the book TALK BIG QUESTIONS Use these prompts to have the opposite of small talk in real life. Have you practiced manifestation in the past?  Or do you find yourself skeptical, but curious? Are you someone who relates more to the magic involved in good happening or the practicality of how it works? Are there things or events in your life that you believe you manifested into existence in the past?
