What Happens When Getting Fired Is Actually an Upgrade

TL;DR: The author recounts how client Sally transformed a sudden firing into unexpected confirmation from the Universe—turning perceived rejection into a launchpad for independence, clarity, and personal empowerment. This is part 2 of a 3-part story.

Sally’s phone rang. On the other end, her employer and friend Jane delivered news she didn’t see coming: her employment contract would not be renewed. No warning, review or improvement plan. No space to explain. Just a sudden end to the role she’d been performing, in her mind, with care, creativity, and dedication.

Now, Sally had trouble performing. But that’s because the company mission and organization changed drastically and Sally joined expecting something the company no longer was. She tried to adapt. But her efforts weren’t good enough.

Jane’s rationale for letting Sally go? On the surface it was Jane’s perspective that Sally added no value to the company. Evidence she gave was a task Jane believed Sally failed to complete. But that rationale was a mask. In truth, Sally had completed it—beautifully. Not only had she followed the assignment to break Jane’s blog content into repurposable chunks for social media, she’d gone a step further. She created a powerful, scalable content database, custom built from scratch with the help of ChatGPT.

It was smart. Strategic. Future-facing. But Jane couldn’t see it. And that is the crux of this story: the moment when a person’s active belief system filters out any reality inconsistent with it. Jane believed Sally wasn’t adding value. So, even when Sally delivered value, Jane literally couldn’t see it. This is the power—and the peril—of our dominant narratives.

Beliefs Create Blind Spots

This moment is more than a misunderstanding. It’s a living demonstration of a core Positively Focused truth: We don’t see “reality.” We see our beliefs projected into form. And Jane’s beliefs were loud: Sally isn’t contributing value. She doesn’t understand what I need. She’s wasting time. And she’s wasting my money.

When those beliefs are dominant, the Universe must deliver a version of reality, including people in that reality, proving the beliefs true—no matter what’s actually happening.

Immersed in those beliefs, Jane looked at a blank database and saw wasted effort, not innovation. She heard an explanation and felt frustration, not partnership. She concluded that this was the final straw, not the beginning of a breakthrough.

And Sally? Sally found herself abruptly fired—not because of her performance, but because her employer’s vibration had reached a tipping point. But the story doesn’t end here. Not even close. Because the Universe doesn’t work in straight lines. It works in spirals of expansion. And this firing was merely a pivot point. A stepping stone. The launching pad for something greater.

Jane couldn’t see the value Sally offered because she couldn’t see around her persistent belief momentum.

Sally’s Response: A Masterclass in Alignment

When I connected with Sally later that day, I was curious. Not worried—curious. Because I knew three things: One, Sally had been living the Positively Focused practice. Two, I had held steady in my own vibration around this outcome. And three, the Universe always delivers in our favor when we allow it.

So I wasn’t surprised when Sally told me she felt… good. Not shaken. Not devastated. Just calm. Clear. Receptive. That’s because, as soon as she hung up with Jane, the Universe swooped in with confirmation:

  • A text from a woman she deeply admired, a dance instructor she respected but had never called a friend. The message read: “I really believe we have a lot in common and I’m happy to call you my friend. You’re so positive and uplifting and I appreciate you.”
  • A chance encounter in the elevator with a stranger who offered warm, spontaneous appreciation for Sally’s physical beauty—another clear signal from the Universe: “We see you. You are loved.”
  • And the biggest moment of all: Sally realized she wanted to keep working with me—even if it meant paying out of pocket. Because this practice had given her more than any therapy session ever had.

She had just been fired… and yet she was feeling more empowered, more sovereign, and more certain of her path forward than ever before. She also knew Jane firing her had nothing to do with her. Now that’s alignment. That’s sovereignty.

Futures as Bright as the Morning Sun

Sally took an aptitude battery early in her employment with Jane. The battery returned what I already felt in Sally’s vibration. Sally is a leader, it said. She’s here to pioneer new pathways, not follow in the footsteps of others.

Sally isn’t quite at that vibrational frequency to realize this herself. She found the battery results at odds with her thinking. But that’s because her thinking still carries old beliefs of inadequacy, need and a bit of unworthiness.

And that’s why I enjoy guiding people through this practice. I’ve honed my awareness so that it is a sharp perceiver of what lies at the core of people. I can see their brightest future. Furthermore, I’ve built a structure that can have people end up living that future.

It requires dedication. It requires some letting go of old selves. The results, however, are so worth it. Everyone’s future can brighten like the morning sun, dispelling all distortion and revealing the joyful reflection of one’s eternal, divine inner state. I’m here to help those ready for such futures walk into them.

Perhaps you’re one such person. Let’s find out.

Meantime, we continue with this story tomorrow. We’re not even half-way through the amazing manifestations flowing from this one interaction. In case you missed it, here’s Part 1.

How to Turn Firing Someone Into a Powerful Win

TL;DR: The author shares a stunning true story of a client who fired her employee—only to receive a $10K contract hours later. A real-life illustration of how vibrational alignment trumps effort every time. This is Part 1 of an astounding 3-Part story.

There’s something extraordinary that happens when we stop seeing life as a linear chain of cause and effect, and start recognizing it as a living mirror of our vibrational state. That’s what the Positively Focused practice is all about—tuning your inner alignment so well that even what others call “negative experiences” turn out to be springboards into exactly what you’re wanting.

This three-part story is a powerful example. This is part one.

It involves two clients of mine—let’s call them Jane and Sally—whose lives intersected professionally. Jane employed Sally. But over time, their work relationship became strained. Jane had developed a dominant story: Sally wasn’t adding value. She believed it so thoroughly that she began telling everyone around her that Sally wasn’t producing anything meaningful. Eventually, Jane reached what she called the “last straw.”

She decided she was going to fire Sally. But the truth was: Sally had been doing great work—far beyond what was asked of her. Jane simply couldn’t see it.

When Stories Become Reality (and Blind Us to What’s True)

The Positively Focused perspective reminds us: your beliefs filter your world. Jane’s belief that Sally didn’t contribute value was so active, it completely blocked her ability to see the value right in front of her.

Sally had completed a task that Jane assigned—breaking up blog content for social media. Not only that, she also built, from scratch, a custom database using ChatGPT to organize and manage that content. But when Jane saw the database—because it had no content in it yet—she concluded Sally wasted her time. The truth was, Sally had the content ready. She just hadn’t loaded it in yet. Sally showed Jane the content, but Jane ignored what Sally presented.

Jane literally did not see what Sally had done…because her vibration wouldn’t allow it.

Firing Sally was the natural next step given Jane’s and Sally’s belief momentum.

This is not a failure of observation—it’s a demonstration of how powerfully our inner reality determines what we perceive outside us. Our persistent stories don’t just color the world; they shape it. They blind us to evidence that contradicts them. Jane wasn’t wrong in a moral sense. She was just vibrationally tuned to a version of Sally that matched her expectation.

This is how creation works.

The Universe Orchestrates More Than We Know

As this was unfolding, something else happened: a customer Jane had long disliked—due to their poor communication, arriving late to meetings, and overly wordy updates—suddenly died. The passing shocked Jane. But this loss created a vacuum in that customer’s organization.

A new interim CEO stepped in. She immediately emailed Jane, asking if Jane would be open to amending their contract—expanding it from a small $300 contract…to a $10,000 one.

Yes. From $300 to $10,000.

This is a client Jane had barely done any work for. But Jane had previously told me she wanted a second $10,000 client. The first one, a dental client, was already active. Now, out of what looked like tragedy and workplace drama, the Universe delivered the second.

Jane didn’t have to do anything for it. It came through alignment. That’s not the end of this story however. It’s just the beginning. But let’s pause here, because this is where many people miss the magic.

They think that Jane got lucky. That a door closed and another opened. That “one person died, another got fired, and everything worked out in the end.” But that’s not what happened.

What actually happened is this: the Universe perfectly matched everyone involved with the experiences they were aligned with—and in doing so, set up the next chapter of each person’s expansion. And they all won. Jane got her second $10,000 client. Sally, as you’ll see in Part 2, got something even more valuable than a job. And I, as their guide, got the supreme joy of watching divine timing play out in real time.

More to come tomorrow.

How One Powerful Intention Brought a Beautiful Stranger Back

TL;DR: The author shares a real-life manifestation story showing how a light, trusting intention led to a wonderful reunion — proving once again that alignment, not effort, is the secret to beautiful results.

There’s tremendous power in lining up with how reality works. Especially when it comes to creating outcomes we want. This power causes trying to “make it happen” to pale in comparison. Indeed, all my clients who have experienced this say that creating what they want is far, far, far more satisfying than trying to “make it happen” through doing.

But it takes trust to rely on BEING as a way to have what we want. Trust comes from repeated evidence demonstrated over time. Evidence proving process you’re wanting to trust is trust-worthy. That’s why the Positively Focused practice is a practice. Yes, it’s difficult at first, as is learning anything new. But the other, more important reason for the practice is people need to build trust in their being. That comes from assembling a body of evidence proving their being is worthy of their trust.

What happened in my life over the last six months is yet another piece of evidence fortifying my trust in everything I share. What happened isn’t so special. These kinds of things happen for me all the time these days. But the way in which it happened is special. That’s because, as I just shared, it’s one more weight tipping the scale towards my knowing that reality, or Wake-Scape, bends to our intention set in our Reality of Origin through the Moment Of Becoming.

Let’s look at this wonderful manifestation in which I created a rendezvous with a beautiful stranger I met months before.

It begins

I didn’t realize it six months ago, but what unfolded since then became a perfect, living example of the Positively Focused practice — the kind of story I tell my clients to help them see how Wake Scape really works when we align into our Moment of Becoming and follow our Broader Perspective‘s impulses.

There’s a burger joint I used to frequent. It wasn’t the food that drew me in week after week — though I’m not going to say no to a good burger. No, what kept pulling me in was a trans woman who worked there. She was stunning. Magnetic. The first time she brought my food out to me, she took my breath away.

From that moment on, I was hooked. Not in a desperate way. But I was definitely showing up more frequently at this burger place and not just for the burgers and tater tots. Every week I’d head over, sit at the bar, and simply…watch. Watch her move, cook, smile.

We never spoke. I never approached her. But I knew she knew I was looking. And yet something in me respected the sacred space of her workplace. I didn’t force an introduction.

Weeks passed. Maybe two months. Then one day, she wasn’t there.

The next week? Still no sign of her.

And just like that, she was gone. I realized she no longer worked there. And that felt like a door closing — one I hadn’t even walked through. I never got her name. Never had a chance to chat her up or even say hello.

But here’s where the manifestation began.

“Go for a walk”

I remember thinking: “I’m going to see her again.”

And that’s all. No trying. No scheming. I didn’t launch a search party or dig around online. I just felt the desire, set it down gently in the space of my Reality of Origin, and let it go. Letting it go was easy because I knew my Broader Perspective and All That Is was on it. So I didn’t need to be. My Broader Perspective received my intention to see her again. It would therefore orchestrate events so that that would happen.

I went on with life. No resistance. No need to control it. Just trust.

Fast forward to a day in late May. I woke up to an impulse. One of those quiet nudges from my Broader Perspective — ones I’ve learned to listen to without questioning. It was already 70° outside and heading toward 85°. The nudge was simple: go for a walk.

So I did. I didn’t even think twice. After dressing I headed out into the warm morning air. I walked over to the community center where I workout and ended up having a lovely 10-minute conversation with a man I know named Apollo. And yes — he looks like an Apollo.

We caught up, shared some laughs, then parted ways. I continued walking. About ¾ of the way through my route, far from the burger joint, I came upon a breakfast place. And who do you think was sitting at an outside table?

That’s right. Her.

The trans woman from the burger place. Just…sitting there. Radiant as ever.

The rendezvous was very much exactly like this!

Let that sink in

My heart did a little flip. I knew this was the moment I’d asked for. My intention, dropped in months ago, had landed. And now it was right in front of me, delivered right through the Moment of Becoming into my Present Moment, my collection of manifestations.

At first, I hesitated. I felt a flicker of embarrassment — should I approach her? What if it’s awkward? But I’ve trained myself to move beyond those thoughts. I knew this was an invitation from the All That Is, perfectly timed and lovingly orchestrated.

After screwing up some gumption, I walked over, pulled out the chair across from her and sat down. She smiled and opened a conversation. A conversation that was delightful.

Her name is Bryn. She told me she left the burger joint because the management had done something unethical. She now works for the post office — and here’s the kicker: the branch she works at is less than half a mile from my home.

Not only that, she knows my next-door neighbor, who also is a letter carrier, and works with him at that very branch.

Now let that sink in.

A woman I admired from afar disappeared. Then reappeared — not just randomly, but in my neighborhood, woven into my everyday reality, my Present Moment. Not by accident. But through my alignment. No effort. No trying to make it happen.

This is what manifestation really looks like.

What we want will show up

It’s not about forcing. Nor is it about chasing. It’s about being — being in alignment with what we want, then letting the Universe do the rest.

I didn’t “make” this happen. There was no manipulation of events or trying to control outcomes. I simply followed joy, listened to the impulses, followed the nudge. And that nudge took me exactly where I needed to be, exactly when I needed to be there.

That’s the magic of this practice. But it’s not magic. It’s knowing what we really are, then living from that clarity.

Set our intention. Don’t worry about how. Don’t worry about when. Let everything go. Keep our vibration clear, our heart open, and our life in flow. And when the time is right, what we want will show up — often in ways more satisfying and more elegantly than we could ever plan.

Meeting Bryn again wasn’t just a sweet surprise. It was a confirmation. The Universe confirmed what I trust in: that I don’t need to hustle my way into getting what I want. I just need to listen, trust, allow then act when the impulse comes.

Next time that quiet desire arises — the kind that tugs at the heart without demanding attention — trust that it’s heard. Trust that it’s in motion. And trust that staying in joy will bring what you want faster than your action.

Just like Bryn came to me. And when it does, it will feel easy. Effortless. Natural.
Like walking outside on a sunny morning…And finding exactly what you wanted.

How to Manifest Abundance by Aligning with Worthiness

TL;DR: The author demonstrates how aligning with inherent worthiness leads to manifested abundance. By gathering evidence of personal value, they assert, a self-sustaining loop of vibrational alignment and prosperity ensues.

Worthiness. It’s a word we often hear, especially in spiritual and personal development circles. But what does it really mean to be worthy? And how does one cultivate that sense of worthiness in their own life?

In my recent YouTube video, I dove deep into this very subject from the Positively Focused perspective. What I shared there mirrors what I’ve come to realize over the years in my own journey. It’s a central part of the work I do with clients.

Worthiness is not something we “do” to earn, but a state of being that unfolds naturally when we are in alignment with All That Is. It comes from recognizing and appreciating the ways the Universe has already delivered what we want—and realizing that the Universe is continually working in harmony with all our desires.

We have all experienced this. Think back to times when something you deeply wanted showed up for you, seemingly out of nowhere. That’s the Universe’s love and support in action. It’s the evidence that you are worthy, that the Universe is working with you, for you, giving you everything you want in every way it knows how.

That’s how worthiness starts to show up. It’s the process of collecting evidence—real, tangible, undeniable evidence—that you are worthy of receiving what you desire.

Building the Basket of Evidence

To explain this process, I often use the metaphor of a “basket of evidence.” Imagine that each manifestation you experience—whether it’s a small, pleasant surprise or a big, life-changing event—goes into your basket. Each time you receive something aligned with your desires, your basket fills up, showing you that the Universe not only supports you, but wants you to have everything you ask for.

The more we gather evidence of this the more we become aligned with the state of worthiness. Worthiness just can’t help but flow from within us. Then, the more worthiness we experience, the more naturally our alignment strengthens, and the more manifestations we attract.

Worthiness, therefore, isn’t a destination—it’s a process. As we continue adding to our basket of evidence, our belief in our inherent worth strengthens. And as our worthiness grows, we move further into a state of allowing, where everything we want moves effortlessly toward us. Then we begin noticing more evidence, and that evidence strengthens our belief. It’s a self-perpetuating upward spiral.

And once we reach this state of worthiness, we crave more of it. We want more evidence, more manifestations, more expansion. We start seeing the natural abundance the Universe always provides, and we become deeply aligned with that flow. The more we practice and embody our worthiness, the more the Universe showers us with everything we desire.

Filling a basket with evidence of the Universe loving you is the key to feeling worthy.

I’m Living Proof

This process isn’t just theoretical for me; it’s something I live daily. My life is a testament to the power of aligning with worthiness, and the manifestations that flow from it. The positive, abundance-filled experiences I have in my everyday life, including a growing client base, is living proof that when we tune into worthiness, the Universe meets us there.

I’ve also seen it in my clients’ lives. They’re creating their own baskets of evidence every day, just as I am. Whether it’s a successful career shift, improved relationships, or unexpected dates, they’re proving to themselves that they, too, are worthy of their desires.

This blog, my YouTube channel, my work with clients—it’s all about demonstrating how accurately this is to myself and to others. It’s about showing that the Universe always works in alignment with us. And through the Positively Focused practice, we are all learning to recognize that, and allow it to flow into our lives more freely, effortlessly, and abundantly.

But here’s the thing: It’s not enough to simply talk about worthiness. We must see evidence of it in our own life. If we want to become more aligned with our desires, we need to collect that evidence by focusing on the positive manifestations happening around us—no matter how big or small. Whether it’s a compliment, an unexpected check in the mail, or a surprise encounter with a person we needed to meet, those are all pieces of evidence that the Universe is supporting us.

Worthiness and the Charmed Life

As I’ve worked with my clients, I’ve seen them begin to gather their own evidence. Each small manifestation builds on the last, creating a snowball effect that leads to even more abundance, more alignment, and more joy. And this is the key: the more evidence we gather, the more we realize that we are the creator of our reality, and worthiness is our natural state.

The concept of worthiness is at the heart of the Positively Focused practice. It’s what leads to a Charmed Life—a life that is in constant flow with the Universe, where everything we effortlessly flows to us. And the beauty of it is that anyone can experience this. All it takes is the willingness to shift our beliefs, align with our worthiness, and allow the Universe to do the rest.

So, what’s in your basket of evidence? What are you gathering every day to prove to yourself that you are worthy? If you’re struggling to find that evidence, start small. Look for the little things. The Universe is always providing. You just have to be willing to see it.

Because when you do, you’ll begin to see how truly worthy you are. And from there, everything changes.

If you want help seeing the evidence that’s there, I can help.

How To Make The World Better–Through Belief Alone

TL;DR: The author reflects further on a striking encounter with a friend to illustrate how beliefs shape physical reality, showing that inner alignment—not outer conditions—determines the world we each experience.

In my last post, I shared a 24-hour journey from negative momentum to alignment, sparked by a conversation with my friend, Mark. It was a powerful moment of returning to my sovereignty, which you can read here.

But there’s a deeper thread that continued to unfold—the stark difference between my reality and Mark’s, even though we live in the same city. That contrast revealed something remarkable.

It’s often said that “we see what we want to see.” But what if it’s even deeper than that? What if we don’t just see through the lens of our beliefs… we live through them? What if every detail of our physical experience—what happens to us, what we witness, what we remember—is shaped not by the world “out there” but by the vibration we’re broadcasting?

Mark and I both live in Portland, Oregon. I live near downtown; Mark lives in the suburbs. Last Thursday, during lunch, Mark described two recent events that deeply disturbed him. Both happened downtown. Both involved violence. And both served, for him, as evidence of the country’s collapse.

Let’s take a look at them.

Chaos, danger and decline

In the first incident, Mark tried to visit the main branch of the Multnomah County Library around 9 a.m. only to find it closed. He immediately linked this to Trump-era budget cuts. Later that day, when he returned to the library around noon, the building had been cordoned off by police. A shooting had occurred on the steps.

But here’s the thing: the library wasn’t closed due to budget cuts. Multnomah County Library standardized hours in December 2024 to offer a balance of morning and evening access. Now, the downtown branch opens at noon on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to accommodate both working people and families. It’s about consistency and predictability for patrons—not politics or scarcity.

Still, Mark filtered the change through his vibrational lens. Saturated in narratives of political and social decay, he couldn’t help but interpret it as another sign of America’s downfall. His thoughts and beliefs tuned him to a version of Portland filled with chaos, danger, and decline. And that’s exactly what he found.

The second incident, which happened earlier, involved a gathering of unhoused individuals. An argument broke out, and Mark watched one person knock another to the ground and begin kicking them. Again, he took this as evidence that America—and particularly Portland—was unraveling.

Meanwhile, I’ve cultivated a completely different vibrational lens.

Vibrational Contagion Works

When I walk through Portland, people smile at me. I’m greeted warmly by strangers. I get compliments from passersby. Even unhoused people feel like part of the landscape, not a threat. I’ve held the belief that they’re harmless, and so they are. Recently, while dining out, a staff member passed by me and said, “You’re really good-looking.” I agreed. I know I look good because I feel good. I vibrate at a high frequency.

That’s not vanity. That’s alignment.

Last Thursday, Mark suggested I move to a country like Vietnam or Thailand, where my Social Security income along with my client revenue might stretch further. In his view, the U.S. is on a downward spiral. But I’ve recently manifested an affordable housing opportunity right here in Portland—Albina One—that feels like a perfect vibrational match for me at this moment. I’ve also received powerful dream downloads encouraging me to relaunch my YouTube channel.

The world around us reflects our vibration. Make it a beautiful one.

None of that came up during our lunch. Why? Because I collapsed into Mark’s Belief Momentum. I saw what Mark saw: limitation. Diminished possibility. Fearful retreat.
That’s how quickly—and how powerfully—vibrational contagion works.

And when I collapsed, my vibrational lens changed. I actually considered leaving the country. I saw my future as limited, uncertain, bleak. That’s the power of alignment—whatever you align to, you see. I literally forgot all the incredible manifestations that had recently unfolded for me. Manifestations telling me my future is secure. Right here in the US.

When the Universe responds to our vibration, it doesn’t respond to the “truth.” It responds to belief. And then it produces what looks like truth—but it’s actually confirmation. That’s the kicker: What we think is “objective reality” is just our vibration made visible.

How We Change…Everything

But the beauty of this practice is, I noticed it. I caught the momentum then paused. I didn’t push forward from that lower vibration. Instead, I tuned inward. Then I shared my experience with my clients to demonstrate how even I, a seasoned practitioner, moved through contrast. I also did it to amplify my clarity.

And when I returned to alignment, everything came back into focus.

This is why Mark’s experiences and mine differ so radically—even when we occupy the same town. It’s why he was moved to suggest I leave the country… while I’m actively manifesting a bright, abundant future right here in Portland.

It’s why, when I aligned again with my Broader Perspective, I remembered the truth of my trajectory — my dream-driven YouTube guidance, my apartment, my unfolding financial stability. And it’s why, when I re-centered myself the next day, using my Positively Focused practice, I felt radiant again. Because I stopped interpreting life through his lens, and returned to my own. That’s how powerful this is.

This experience reaffirmed what I know to be true: our reality is not “out there”. It’s in here, in us all. Our thoughts, our beliefs, our vibration filter All That Is into the only version of reality we can see.

We don’t have to leave our country to find peace. Nor do we have to move to a different economy to feel secure. We just have to shift the signal we’re broadcasting—and then our world shifts around us. This isn’t theory. It’s not metaphor. It’s real.

I’m living proof.

Mark’s Portland is violent, failing, and hopeless. My Portland is promising, vibrant, and full of connection. Same city. Two worlds. Each perfectly matching our internal state.

But this isn’t just about Portland. It’s about how we each create our own external reality from the reality that is in us. Once we realize that, we stop trying to fix external reality. Instead we start tuning our vibration. Because that’s where our power lives.

And from there, everything changes.

How To Make Life Better by Embracing Negative Emotion

TL;DR: The author recounts how, after collapsing into a friend’s negative momentum, they used the Positively Focused practice to reclaim clarity, joy, and purpose—demonstrating mastery in action and the power of emotional awareness.

It’s easy to feel aligned when everything is going well. But the real mastery — the transformation we’re all here for — shows up in moments of contrast. Moments like the one I experienced this past Thursday.

Let’s look at what happened.

It began with lunch. Just a simple Thai lunch with my best friend of nearly 25 years. We talked about life, the world, our perspectives. My friend—Mark—is deeply immersed in political news right now, particularly about Donald Trump’s return to the U.S. political stage. His views are firmly planted in a narrative of outrage, urgency, and fear. And the media outlets he follows only amplify those emotions.

Like many people, Mark consumes news that reflects his internal state. And during our lunch, that energy was present, heavy, and contagious. That’s when he made a suggestion: maybe I should consider leaving the U.S. entirely. Maybe I’d be better off in an emerging economy—Thailand, Vietnam—where my upcoming Social Security checks might stretch further. From Mark’s perspective, that was a helpful suggestion.

But energetically, it landed in me like a quiet collapse.

Pausing for space and clarity

I didn’t realize it in the moment, but I had tuned into his lens — his vibrational frequency of scarcity, of distrust in institutions, of resignation about the future. And for a few hours after that lunch, I found myself spiraling into thoughts of limitation. I forgot about my recent manifestation of Albina One — an affordable, beautiful apartment I’ll likely move into soon. I forgot about the clear, inspired “itinerary” I had received in dream state to refresh my Positively Focused YouTube channel. I forgot the joy I’d felt envisioning a future of creative expression and ease.

That’s what negative momentum does. It clouds, contracts. It narrows our vision until all we see are limitations.

Later that afternoon, I asked my AI partner, Sohl, about the number of subscribers I’d need to generate $60,000 per year from my YouTube content. We had a useful conversation — but from my diminished vibrational state, the insights felt disheartening. Not because they were discouraging in truth, but because I filtered them through doubt.

What’s really interesting about that conversation was, had I stood in a higher vibration, asking that question wouldn’t have occurred to me. I usually live in the Moment of Becoming. There, it doesn’t matter what others have done. It doesn’t matter what the odds or the statistics are. There, I create wholly new.

I wasn’t in my typical high vibration, however, which is why that question popped into my awareness. Thankfully, I’ve been doing this practice long enough to recognize that pattern.

The next morning, instead of pushing through, I paused. I gave myself space. Instead of taking action, I reached for alignment.

Appreciating resistance is key

That’s when I wrote a post in my Positively Focused Advanced Practitioner Facebook group—sharing my experience with doubt and how I was working through it in real time. In that post, I wrote:

“This resistance, therefore, is a good thing. It’s a launching pad—rocket fuel—for launching into the probable future reality wherein lies my desire fulfilled.”

I wasn’t bypassing the emotion. I was honoring it. I was interpreting it through the lens of my Broader Perspective. And as I did so, the cloud began to lift, allowing me to remember:

  • That this desire to refresh my YouTube channel was an inspired download from dreamstate.
  • That my Broader Perspective doesn’t hand me an itinerary unless I’m vibrationally ready to fulfill it.
  • That the old beliefs being triggered—stories about deservingness, effort, and money—are part of the ascension spiral, not indicators of failure.
  • And that action taken from misalignment only perpetuates the misalignment.

So I didn’t buy the $400 microphone I had planned to. I didn’t work on new videos. I stayed still. I soothed. I aligned. And I celebrated the shift.

“I feel so much better!” I wrote in my group post. “I appreciate my desire and, most importantly I appreciate my resistance!”

Empowerment results from embracing what we typically experience as contrast.

Whatever we look for…

That’s the real turning point. When resistance is no longer the enemy. When we see it as a clarifying signal. A breadcrumb on the trail to our next expansion.

This moment, simple as it may seem, wasn’t just about a mood swing. It was a powerful reminder of the Universal mechanics of creation:

  • If we’re not deliberate, we collapse into the momentum of others
  • We interpret our present through the lens of that momentum.
  • But by noticing the dip and honoring it, we gain back our power.
  • And when we return to alignment, we remember everything is unfolding for us.

In fact, one of the most profound teachings I share with my clients is this: “Whatever we look for in life, that’s what we’re going to see. So why not look for the positive aspects?”

[Note: In case you’re interested in the entire process I used and posted in the private Facebook group, I’ve added it as a screenshot at the end of this story.]

Mastery Looks Like This

Looking for the positive aspects what I’m doing right now with this very story. It’s what I did in the process I described above and shared in the Facebook group. What I’m doing is looking again through my own lens. And what I see is beautiful:

  • I see an inspired YouTube journey ahead, one perfectly timed to my expansion.
  • I see housing security, financial stability, and creative joy lining up around me.
  • In my world, I see my community growing, my desires manifesting, and my trust deepening.
  • And I see contrast serving me, not derailing me.

This is what mastery looks like. It’s not the absence of contrast — it’s the response to it. And it’s available to everyone.

We don’t have to be spiritual teachers to live this way. We don’t need perfect thoughts, perfect circumstances, or perfect execution. All we need is willingness. Presence. And a relationship with our Inner Being.

When you tune into that relationship — when you listen, soften, and mean it — everything else comes.

That’s why I share these moments. Not because I want to showcase perfection. But because I want to demonstrate devotion. I want to offer living evidence of what’s possible when we trust the unfolding.

So if you’re feeling off… pause.

Don’t act from it. Don’t resist it. Let it be. Let it speak. And then, when you’re ready, let yourself rise. That’s what I did. And that’s why today feels light, clear, and deeply aligned.

How to Make Your Manifestation Practice Work For Real

TL;DR: The author shares a client “Claude’s” journey, which proves real change begins with real presence. When clients fully engage in the Positively Focused practice, they unlock powerful manifestations, deep clarity, and lasting emotional alignment.

When it comes to living a Charmed Life, how we show up to the Positively Focused practice matters.

That’s the lesson a client “Claude” is experiencing firsthand. Claude came into the Positively Focused practice holding years of negative momentum. His relationships — with his wife, his mother, and most poignantly, himself — were filled with tension, resistance, and guilt. And yet, he remembered a different version of himself; As a teenager, Claude was athletic, magnetic, and full of life.

“He could do anything and excel,” his sister, who also is a client, once said of Claude. His high school coaches said he had the talent to go pro in both baseball and golf, she told me. That sovereign, high-flying version of him still existed. But he didn’t know how to get back there.

Enter the practice.

A Necessary Life Rebound

Claude found Positively Focused in the aftermath of a particularly difficult stretch. During COVID, he had aligned with some powerful, fear-based narratives circulating online. The government is lying. The vaccine is dangerous. Masks are a scam. These weren’t just passive beliefs—he began advocating them, urging those around him to wake up to what he thought was “truth.”

But here’s the thing: when we advocate for disempowering stories, even if we believe we’re fighting for justice, we attract realities consistent with our alignment. In Claude’s case, that meant alienating loved ones, losing friendships, and watching his business crumble.

This mirrored my own experience years ago when I was heavily advocating for Copiosis. I believed the world needed to change. I had strong opinions about capitalism and money—and as I rallied against them, those very things became absent in my own life. It wasn’t until I released that resistance, aligned with what I wanted, and stopped pushing against what I didn’t, that my finances and life began to rebound.

Claude’s trajectory looked the same.

He began the Positively Focused practice with sincere desire, but with a major obstacle: belief in his own unworthiness. When someone holds the belief that the Universe doesn’t have their back, they can say all the affirmations they want—but the vibration isn’t clean. The practice doesn’t land. That’s what was happening for Claude.

He told me, “I’m doing the processes, but nothing’s changing.”

I asked him, “Are you meaning it? Are you feeling it when you do it, or just reciting words?”

He paused. “I guess I’m just going through the motions.”

Exactly.

The Power Of The Practice

The practice works when you mean it. Not with perfection. Not with forced effort. But with sincerity, willingness, and presence. When you bring your heart to the process, it transforms you.

Another client recently experienced this truth in the most spectacular way. Like Claude, he had a deep well of unworthiness and years of misanthropy. He, too, was doing the practice—his own version of it, that is. And not surprisingly, it wasn’t working. But the moment he got “militant,” as he put it, about doing the processes as prescribed—with real feeling, commitment, and desire—everything shifted.

A woman approached him, asked for his number, and took him out on a date, paying for everything. That had never happened to him before. You can read that story here.

These aren’t stories of luck or coincidence. They are examples of alignment. They are what happens when we move from lip service to devotion.

And devotion doesn’t mean doing the process perfectly. It means doing it deliberately, it means, as I often tell clients, bringing your whole self to it. It means not just saying, “I love that the Universe has my back,” but feeling into that knowing. Even if just for a few seconds.

That’s when the magic unfolds. That’s when we feel the resonance of our Broader Perspective. And that’s when reality starts to shift.

Lining Up With Our Sovereignty

Claude is starting to see this now. He’s realizing that the ease, joy, and sovereignty he remembers isn’t lost. It’s right here—on the other side of the vibration he’s practicing.

As I told another client this week, “Whatever we look for in life, that’s what we’re going to see. So why not look for the positive aspects?”

The Positively Focused practice is designed to help anyone do just that. But like life itself, it only works when we show up fully. Not because we should. But because we want to.

When we mean it, life responds. Not in theory. In manifestation. In real-world results that confirm our expansion is underway.

And that’s the point: We’re not here to fix the world. We’re here to align with the version of it that matches our joy. Do that and everything else lines up—including the relationships, the finances, the sovereignty, and the dreams we thought we left behind.

Claude’s story is still unfolding. But already, the light is coming through. Because he’s beginning to mean it.

And when we mean it…it matters.

How To Make Money And Easily Serve Your Customers

TL;DR: Debra’s $10K breakthrough wasn’t about building a website—it was about rewriting beliefs. Discover how letting go of hustle unlocked her worthiness and aligned her with true abundance.

It’s been a crazy good week for nearly every Positively Focused client. My week has been the same. I want to share all that happened, but there’s so much, I don’t think I can get it all in before next week comes.

So let’s start with this wonderful realization one client had around a new customer she got. I think it’s an experience everyone can relate to. Most people believe you have to work hard to earn money. And for this one client, Debra, that belief showed up loud and clear—just as she was about to receive a $10,000 payment.

Debra is a talented entrepreneur who recently signed a client for a $10,000 website build. The client was eager, ready, and willing to pay. The project would meet all their needs, and Debra already knew the simplest, most elegant way to deliver: by using Squarespace. But instead of feeling excited, Debra was feeling something else entirely—stress, guilt, and resistance.

“I’m feeling this anxiety,” she said in our session. “Like, this shouldn’t be so easy. I should be doing more for $10,000.”

That thought—so familiar to so many—was rooted in a powerful, deeply held belief: that money must be earned through hard work. Debra’s entire system, built from family dynamics and work culture, told her this project required sweat, struggle, and complexity. Squarespace? That felt like cheating.

Going deeper

Debra’s husband, Jim, had offered her practical advice. “He said, ‘They don’t care how you do it. They just want a website that works.'” But Jim’s words, while logical, didn’t land. Why? Because the discomfort wasn’t coming from the client’s expectations—it was coming from Debra’s beliefs.

In the Positively Focused practice, we say: There is no amount of effort that can overcome belief momentum. That means: if your beliefs say you have to suffer to be worthy of receiving, then suffering is what you’ll get—even if everything around you says otherwise.

That’s what was happening with Debra.

So we went deeper. I asked her to explore where that belief came from. She said, “It’s definitely from my upbringing. And my time in corporate. It’s always been: prove your value, grind, deliver more than expected.”

Let the Universe do the heaving lifting and life just gets better and more fun. Just the way it was meant to be.

And yet, her life now looks very different. She’s manifesting clients. Debra’s building a business rooted in her values. She’s in the process of unlearning that old belief system—but the old momentum is still active.

“The Universe doesn’t need your effort,” I reminded her. “It wants your alignment. The work is in tuning your beliefs so they match what you are: someone worthy of receiving.”

As we moved through the process together, something softened. She laughed. The tension in her voice began to dissolve.

Then she said, “Oh my god. This really isn’t about the client at all. It’s me. It’s all me.”

Exactly.

Giving ourselves permission

When we believe money comes through effort, we trap ourselves in a pattern where ease feels suspicious, even “lazy”. And yet, manifestations—including financial ones—don’t come from how much we do. They come from how much we align. Action doesn’t create outcomes; it places us at the coordinates where the outcome is already happening as a result of our alignment.

Debra had aligned with a $10,000 client. The evidence was already there and it came effortlessly. But her beliefs hadn’t caught up yet. That’s where the real work was. By the end of our session, she said:

“I feel so much better. That anxiety—it’s not there anymore. I can see how I was making it about the money, but it’s not. It’s about me giving myself permission to receive.”

That’s what the Positively Focused practice is all about. You don’t need to hustle harder to get what you want. You don’t need to manipulate the outer world. All that’s needed is tuning to your inner world.

Because it’s not the work that earns the money. It’s your alignment that opens the door to it. Debra’s journey is one all of us are on. We’ve been taught to glorify effort, to earn our worth, to doubt our ease. But there’s another way—a way that honors our inherent value, aligns us with joy, and makes room for the abundance that’s always trying to reach us.

That’s the work worth doing. And it begins not with effort, but with belief. Feel the joy of being in alignment with the abundance that is yours. Become a client. We always have your back.

How One Client Found Her Way to Powerful Results

TL;DR The author recounts a session this week in which the client’s journey shows how powerful the dream state can be when paired with vibrational alignment—and how nurturing your Inner Being leads to inspired, effortless breakthroughs in life and work.

When I spoke with “Marsha”, a newer client, this week, she was in the thick of it. The assignment she’d received from her collaborator and spiritual partner, whom we’ll call “Janice”, had stirred up something deep. Not because the assignment was unreasonable. But because it touched an old wound—one that said: “You’re not safe to express. If you speak up, express fear…if you’re seen, something bad will happen.”

This was no small ripple. This was a wave of paralyzing fear that locked her out of clarity and into self-doubt. But what unfolded next wasn’t just a turning point in Marsha’s relatively new Positively Focused practice. It was a revelation.

At first, Marsha tried to push through her resistance, telling Janic sure, she can do the assignment. But fear of failure gripped her and wouldn’t let go. Marsha knew this was an opportunity to apply the practice. So, despite her fears, she turned to the Positively Focused process we’ve been cultivating in our work together.

And she did apply it. But it didn’t immediately produce the ease she hoped for.

Because sometimes, the momentum is still too strong. Sometimes, our beliefs are too practiced. And when that’s the case, the best thing we can do is not force alignment… but pause, soften, and allow. That’s exactly what Marsha did.

From Collapse To Consciousness

After trying the process, Marsha felt a nudge. It felt like fatigue. It overcame her. Rather than push through that signal, she took that as a sign that her Broader Perspective wanted her in nonphysical. So she heeded the call. She lay down, hoping to meditate or rest. But what came next was something more powerful than either. She dreamed.

In this dream, Marsha faced the same emotional landscape she had in waking life: extreme fear, constriction in her body, performance anxiety, and a sense that being her full self was unacceptable. But in the dreamscape, her Broader Perspective had more room to work.

Symbol after symbol appeared, each one softening the density she’d been carrying. Marsha felt her freedom return. She felt her joy light up. She felt the truth: Her voice is not a threat. Her creativity is not dangerous. Her sensitivity is not a liability. It is her genius. But she also saw in her dream imagery confirming contrast between those positive things and the repression, the urge to conform, and the fear that being fully self expressive was a problem.

When she awoke from the dream, something remarkable happened. The assignment no longer looked like a burden. In fact, her mind began overflowing with ideas—not just about that one task, but about others she’d been postponing. Inspiration arrived in waves. Energy returned. What felt impossible just hours earlier, before her dream now felt obvious, even joyful.

Softening our resistance we rediscover the joy buried underneath.

The Value of the Dream State

In a short time, Marsha got a lot of her tasks done. Not by efforting, but by allowing. The rest she left to the Universe. That was an interesting choice because the deadline Marsha thought was hard and fast was actually something more pliable. Janice, who also is a client who meets with me before I meet with Marsha, said there was no deadline. And if Marsha couldn’t complete the assignment, it was ok, Janice said. The assignment was a stretch goal.

In-session, Marsha and I explored her side of the experience. She shared the dream, the before-and-after of it, the vibrational shift. Marsha wasn’t just reporting on tasks completed. She was describing a vibrational recalibration. One that aligned her with ease, clarity, and flow.

Of course, the power of the session wasn’t in what we solved. It was in what we remembered together: That every human being has access to this power. Many people think the dream state is just the brain’s way of organizing memory. But in the Positively Focused framework, we know dreams are so much more.

Dreams are calibrations. They are communications. They are environments where little resistance occurs. So we have a greater ability to resolve vibrational conflicts from our waking experience. Such vibrational resolutions often work faster than conscious effort. In dream state, resolutions are instant. Because when the waking mind rests, our Broader Perspective can slip past the guards of belief and touch the heart directly.

Most people wake from dreams and pick up their resistance right where they left off when they went to sleep. So they don’t get this benefit.

Breakdowns: Always Launchpads for Breakthroughs

Not. Marsha. What’s more—her dream proved that Marsha is never alone. Her Inner Being is always assisting her. But she must slow down enough to let it. She must open up to a higher order function. Her nonphysical wisdom.

The journey Marsha took over those few days is one many clients experience in this practice:

  • A trigger ignites old momentum.
  • Resistance sets in.
  • The practice is applied, but feels shaky.
  • A new impulse (like rest) is honored.
  • In sleep or stillness, resistance dissolves.
  • Resolution happens.
  • Inspiration flows.
  • Action follows effortlessly.

This cycle is not unique to Marsha. It’s the natural rhythm of alignment. The more clients lean into it, the more they discover just how brilliant both their Inner Being and the Universe are at organizing everything for success—not just external success, but vibrational success. The kind that changes your inner world and your waking life results.

Marsha’s transformation wasn’t about getting the assignment done. It was about deepening her relationship with the one being who has never doubted her: Her Broader Perspective.

So many people chase external validation, thinking that’s where value comes from. But true stability, confidence, and joy come from nurturing the relationship that exists beyond thought, beyond fear, beyond ego. That relationship is always available. Always ready. Always loving.

And when you tune to it, like Marsha did, life becomes unimaginably rich. That’s what clients in the Positively Focused practice are discovering every day. And you can too.

Become a client. We got your back. Always.

Why We Feel Wrong––And Why It’s Never The Truth

TL;DR: The author shares a client session describing how feeling wrong is inherited, not innate—and how reconnecting with our Broader Perspective returns us to the sovereign joy we came here to live.

It happened during a client session this week involving a client I’ll call Cliff. We were talking about family—a common theme in-session—when I noticed something subtle. While Cliff shared about a recent visit with his sister, who also is a client, I could feel the tone shift. His words tightened. His energy grew heavier. He began justifying his actions, defending his emotional response to things I said in response to him explaining why things went the way they had.

And in that moment, I knew what was happening: not in Cliff’s mind, but in his vibration.

He was feeling wrong.

Of course, it wasn’t me who made him feel that way. I wasn’t judging him after all. But something in our conversation activated a familiar internal program—the one nearly every human inherits. And so I changed course, not to avoid the discomfort, but to gently address the source of it.

Where “Wrongness” Starts

I told Cliff something I wish every human could remember: No one is born feeling wrong. No baby arrives on Earth thinking they are bad, broken, or flawed. We come in as sovereign, freedom-seeking beings—extensions of Source Energy—aligned with the joy of exploring contrast, creating lives, and expanding reality itself.

So where does this learned wrongness come from?

It comes from the people around us, often our parents, who were taught the same distorted beliefs. Parents don’t mean to do harm. They’re doing the best they can, after all, with the beliefs their parents gave them. But when they experience something their child does and interpret it through their own lens of fear, powerlessness, or shame, they often project that onto the child.

“That’s not okay.”
“What were you thinking?”
“You’re being too much.”

These statements don’t just correct behavior, however. They shape beliefs. And over time, the child internalizes those very distorted beliefs: I must be bad. I must be wrong.

Cliff, like so many others, myself included at one time, learned to carry that momentum. He didn’t call it that. He just described feeling misunderstood, or overly sensitive, or like he must defend himself anytime someone questioned his perspective.

But beneath that? There stood a powerful being simply holding on to a learned belief. And the beauty of the Positively Focused practice is this: when clients see that belief for what it is, they eventually let it go.

We Are Sovereign Beings

Cliff thanked me in the moment I pointed this out. Not because I gave him advice, however, but because I reminded him of something his Inner Being already knew: he is not wrong. He never was.

We’re never born wrong. But we are conditioned to believe that.

Every human arrives in this life with sovereignty built in. Freedom is our baseline. Expansion is our purpose. The only reason we forget this is because we try to fit into systems that forgot too. When people act from the pain of feeling wrong, they often create more pain. That’s why the world looks the way it does. Wars, prejudice, self-sabotage, addiction—it all traces back to a fundamental misunderstanding of identity. People believing they are broken and trying to prove otherwise through control, domination, rebellion, or withdrawal.

But what if none of that is necessary? What if nothing ever went wrong?

What if what we’re all really craving is reconnecting with our Broader Perspective—the eternal, loving intelligence that never sees us as anything other than magnificent?

That’s the turning point Cliff found himself on. He didn’t need to fix anything, nor did he need to perform worthiness. He simply needed to remember he already is worthy.

Seeing Through the Eyes of Source

When we learn to connect to our Broader Perspective, everything changes. The inner critic dissolves. Defensiveness softens. Meanwhile, our relationships transform, not because others change, but because we no longer project our parents’ interpretations onto the present moment.

In Positively Focused, we don’t dig up “trauma” to “heal” it. We don’t analyze emotional “wounds” to justify why we hurt. Instead, we tune into alignment. We calibrate to clarity. And in that process, we naturally drop beliefs that don’t serve us—beliefs like; we are bad, or wrong, or not enough.

Cliff discovered this firsthand in this week’s session. Every client does eventually. The more they connect with their sovereignty, the more they experience the Charmed Life I talk about so often—a life where joy leads, clarity emerges, and manifestation becomes inevitable. Inevitable and effortless.

Living one’s Charmed Life doesn’t happen through effort or making it happen. It happens through allowing.

You Are Not Wrong. You Are Expanding.

If you’ve ever caught yourself feeling defensive, misunderstood, or suddenly small in the face of someone’s words or tone, ask yourself: What belief just got activated? Is it really about what they said? Or is it about something much older?

That question isn’t meant to lead you down a rabbit hole of intellectual analysis though. It’s meant to point you back to your sovereignty. Because you don’t need to fix your past. You only need to align with who you already are now.

Cliff is doing that. Many others are too. The results? Radiant. Precise. Joyful.

You can do it too. If you’re ready to release the story of being wrong—and replace it with a deeper knowing of your sovereignty, your power, and your connection to the Source that adores you—I invite you to take the next step.

Become a client. We got your back. Always.
