One of the most powerful things you can do in your private practice isn’t another strategy, social post, or shiny new system—it’s shifting your energy and expectations. In this episode, I share how learning to anticipate a pleasing outcome (rather than a “positive” one) completely transformed not only my mindset but also the results I experience in business and life. You’ll hear the story of how I first taught my mum about manifesting, how she set me up with what I thought was an impossible challenge, and how I ended up manifesting exactly what she asked for—right down to Jaffa fudge in a coffee shop that didn’t even advertise it. I’ll also share how this practice helped me navigate a $20,000 tax issue, and why expecting a pleasing outcome has since become my go-to in business decisions, launches, and client attraction. If you’ve ever found yourself spiralling when clients cancel, worrying no one will book, or doubting whether your fees are “too much,” this episode will help you reset. The truth is, whether you realise it or not, you’re always manifesting. The key is to do it intentionally—by shifting your focus, choosing new expectations, and preparing to receive. Your quick win action step: For the rest of today (or tomorrow, if you’ve finished work), pause before you take any business action and say to yourself, “I’m expecting a pleasing outcome.” Try it with one client call, one post, or one decision—and notice how your energy shifts.
