In this episode, we examine the reality behind spiritual coaching, life coaching, and energy healing, highlighting how anyone can claim to be a “healer” yet few demonstrate consistent, proven processes.
We also emphasize that manifestation doesn’t mean passively wishing; it involves building real confidence, erasing hidden doubts, and continually taking purposeful action. The discussion touches on the “inner child”—the younger self or outdated mindset that can block progress—and how recognizing and moving beyond that mindset is key.
