    189: How to Manifest With Ancient Kabbalah, Not Hustle | Ayelet Polonsky

    Manifestation, when using the tools found in ancient Kabbalah, is the practice of co-creating your life with God through what you think, speak, and feel, starting from humility instead of control. If you have done the affirmations and the vision boards and still feel stuck, you may be skipping the inner work underneath. Maybe your first instinct is that you are doing something wrong. Maybe you keep hustling because slowing down to actually know yourself feels unsafe. That pressure is often what blocks the very thing you are trying to create. On this episode of She Has the Audacity, holistic leadership coach and women's health advocate, Chana Ross sits down with Ayelet Polonsky, a trauma-informed facilitator, Kabbalistic manifestation expert, and creator of The Manifestation Method. After six years in India and eight years studying Kabbalah in Israel, Ayelet explains how pain builds your capacity to hold more light, why abracadabra means "I create as I speak," and how to tell intuition from fear. She shares how 21 days of practice led her to her husband, and why her business grew 10X once she stopped hustling and started receiving. Consider this your permission to let manifestation feel lighter. You’ll learn: What Kabbalistic manifestation is, and why Ayelet Polonsky starts with humility: know your what and your why, then surrender the how and the when to God. Why everything in your life is happening for you, not to you, and how that reframe gets you out of the victim, perpetrator, and savior triangle. How the Kabbalah teaching of light and vessels explains growth: bringing consciousness to your pain breaks a vessel, and the bigger vessel holds more light for manifestation. Why the word "want" signals lack, and how Ayelet used abracadabra, "I create as I speak," plus 21 days of visualization to meet her husband on day 21. How to tell intuition from your inner opponent: intuition feels instant, exciting, and expansive, while fear lingers and makes your whole nervous system constrict. Why your nervous system will never release more than you can safely hold, and why slowing down to know yourself feels so unsafe for high achievers. What the queen archetype teaches about divine feminine manifestation, and how tight shoulders, a sore neck, or burnout signal you are pushing instead of receiving. We talk about: 00:00 Meet Ayelet Polonsky, creator of The Manifestation Method 04:49 How losing a friend at 20 sparked her spiritual awakening 06:11 What is Kabbalistic manifestation 09:01 Is this happening to you or for you 15:04 Light and vessels and how pain builds your capacity 22:38 What abracadabra means and why want creates lack 24:43 How Ayelet manifested her husband in 21 days 28:40 How do you tell intuition from your inner opponent 31:49 Why slowing down to know yourself feels unsafe 38:05 Divine feminine manifestation and the queen archetype 43:31 A cyclone at Kumbh Mela and the voice that said Israel 49:57 What Ayelet would tell her younger self Ready to go deeper with Ayelet?

    188: Wanting More Out of Life: Stop Settling for Fine | Chana Ross

    Wanting more out of life is not a sign that you are ungrateful. It is a sign that you are done settling for fine. When the job is fine, the marriage is fine, the business is fine, and you are fine, that word quietly keeps you complacent and convinces you that mediocre is all you should expect. If you have ever downgraded a dream, told yourself it is not the right season, or felt greedy for wanting more when you already have enough, this solo episode is your permission slip. Chana Ross, Holistic Leadership Coach, Women's Health Advocate, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, and host of She Has The Audacity, makes the case that fine is the worst four-letter word in the English language. She draws on two ideas from Kabbalah, ratzon (desire) and the kli and the or (the vessel and the light), to show why your desire for more is sacred guidance, not ego. She shares why she chose to sell Vital Physiotherapy and Wellness when everything looked fine from the outside, names the three lies that keep women stuck in the status quo, and hands you six permission slips plus a simple 15 minute practice to start. You are allowed to be proud of the life you built and still believe something more is waiting for you. You’ll learn: Why fine is the worst four-letter word in the English language, and how saying "I'm fine" keeps you complacent and convinced that mediocre is all you should expect from your life. How wanting more out of life and gratitude can both be true, and why asking for an exceptional life is not the opposite of being grateful for the one you have. What the Kabbalah concepts of ratzon and the kli and the or teach about desire, and why the pull to create more is the spark within you working exactly as designed. The three lies that keep women stuck: that you should just be grateful, that it is not the right time, and that wanting more means burning your whole life down. Six permission slips from Chana Ross, including permission to change your definition of success, protect time for what lights you up, and ask for help instead of doing it all. How to start wanting more out of life without blowing it up: notice the recurring wish, make room for it with 15 minutes, and say it out loud to one person. We talk about: 00:00 Why fine is the worst four-letter word 01:09 When your job, marriage, and business are just fine 02:42 Why are women so afraid to ask for more 04:20 Is it ever the right season to want more 05:00 Gratitude and wanting more out of life can coexist 05:34 Ratzon and what Kabbalah teaches about desire 07:53 Kli and or, why you are a vessel for light 09:41 Why Chana sold her clinic when everything was fine 11:36 Three lies that keep you stuck in the status quo 15:15 Six permission slips to want more than fine 20:15 Notice it, make room, and find one person 21:41 Why you should treat fine like a swear word Connect with me Website: https://www.chanaross.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SheHasTheAudacityLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chanaross/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chanarosspt #WantingMore #StopSettling #PermissionToWantMore #PersonalGrowth #WomenEmpowerment #MindsetShift #GratitudeAndAmbition #Kabbalah #SpiritualGrowth #WomenInBusiness #HolisticLeadershipCoach #StopPlayingSmall #LiveOnPurpose #SelfTrust #MidlifeReinvention #WomenEntrepreneurs #SheHasTheAudacity

    Stepping Into A New Season

    Hi everyone I wanted to take a moment today to share something with you directly. She Has The Audacity has had such an incredible year — the conversations, the connection, the depth we've explored together… it truly means more to me than I can say. And as someone who believes deeply in intentional leadership — in aligning how we work with how we want to live — I'm practicing what I teach. So, I'm pressing pause for a short while. Not because anything is ending but because we are in the process of building and growing. There are some exciting shifts happening behind the scenes — new voices to bring in, new conversations to explore, new ways to support you as you design what's next in your life and leadership. This break is a moment to reflect, refine, and build something even more aligned with the mission of this show: To create a space where women can tell the truth, lead with purpose, and choose what feels real — not just what looks impressive. I'll be back with fresh episodes in the new year. In the meantime, if you're new here or catching up, this is a perfect moment to revisit past conversations that resonated — or discover the ones you haven't heard yet. Thank you for being here. Thank you for giving me the space to grow and the support. Thank you for listening, reflecting, and showing up for these deeper conversations — for supporting our community and for supporting yourselves. I can't wait to share what's coming next.

    Rest as a Vital Sign: Women's Sleep, Hormones, and the Nervous System with Dr. Leigha Saunders [REPLAY]

    Rest isn't a luxury to earn, it's a biological need that tells the truth about how we're living. In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Leigha Saunders, naturopathic doctor, sleep expert, and founder of The Sleep Fix, for a conversation about what our sleep is really trying to tell us. Through her own postpartum experience and years of clinical practice, Leigha has seen how exhaustion isn't a sign of weakness, but information, a reflection of nervous system overload, hormone shifts, and the invisible weight of responsibility women carry. Her work reframes rest as a form of self-leadership: the foundation for clarity, health, and purpose. Together, we explore how to rebuild a relationship with rest in every season of life, from PMS to postpartum to perimenopause, and what changes when we start treating sleep as a signal, not a symptom. Here's what you'll take away from this episode: ✨ Why sleep is a mirror for the nervous system — and a vital sign of wellbeing ✨ How hormonal transitions shape our rhythms, energy, and emotional capacity ✨ The mental load's role in restlessness, anxiety, and 3 a.m. wake-ups ✨ Why sleep "hacks" and supplements only go so far without alignment ✨ How self-trust, boundaries, and nourishment restore deep rest ✨ Practical tools for understanding — and honouring — your body's cues This is a conversation about coming home to your body. About redefining productivity as presence, and remembering that rest isn't what you step away from — it's what allows you to return to yourself. 🎧 Listen now [Insert episode link here] Connect with Dr. Leigha Saunders: 📱 Instagram: @drleighasaunders 🌐 Website: drleighasaunders.com 🛌 Program: The Sleep Fix If this conversation resonated, we'd love for you to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify and share it with a woman who's ready to wake up rested, clear, and in rhythm with herself. ✨ WORK WITH CHANA ROSS! ✨ Are you an ambitious woman who is a leader at work, at home or in the community and you are looking for support with overcoming perfectionism, determining your next right step, overcoming self-doubt and learning to advocate for yourself and fall in love with the next version of you?
