Big Conversations with Haley Hoffman Smith

Haley really is your BFF she talks about manifestation and living out your dreams in such a relatable way. I’m really glad I found her

Haley speaks not from above her listeners but among them. She is going through everything with us — subconscious breakthroughs, inner healing, and self-actualization. Whenever I listen, Haley is always saying exactly what I need to hear. Thank you endlessly.

Hayley truly has a gift for being able to convey her genuine passion and frame concepts in a way that is easily digestible. That is why I think it is so disappointing and unfortunate that her episodes never acknowledge privilege or systemic oppression. To talk about manifestation without placing it into context the injustices and systemic barriers that take place in this world makes the content of these episodes moot. You can’t talk about the powers of manifestations without also acknowledging that there are people in this world who are experiencing war, poverty, and injustices that they did not manifest nor can they manifest their way out of. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that manifestation doesn’t exist, it does mean that any conversation about it has to be nuanced and take these realities into consideration. And to just ignore these realities when she is an attractive, wealthy, and privileged white woman is honestly just taking the easy way out. Especially in a time where so much is happening domestically and internationally, her intentional silence about these events and her choice to be apolitical (and yes, it is a choice) makes jt difficult for me as a WOC to support her work. I sincerely hope Hayley sees this review and really think about how she can add this nuance in her work.

This podcast is incredible, thank you Haley for your knowledge and encouragement and sharing your gift! Truly life changing
