Are You Manifesting What You Want… or Exactly What You Don’t?
Released On Aug 04, 2026
Season 3, Episode 18
Manifestation, mindset, neuroscience, and the Reticular Activating System (RAS) all play a role in shaping the way you think, act, and create your future. In this episode of the Holistic Mama Speaks podcast, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores what manifestation really is, why your brain is always listening, and how your thoughts may be helping you create exactly what you do…or don’t…want.
If you’ve ever wondered whether manifestation is real, woo-woo, or backed by science, this episode is for you.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- What manifestation actually means
- How the Reticular Activating System (RAS) influences your focus
- Why repeated thoughts become repeated behaviors
- The science behind neuroplasticity and visualization
- Three practical ways to start creating the future you truly want
You’ll also learn one simple question you can ask yourself every day to help you make decisions that align with the healthiest, happiest, most confident version of yourself.
If you’re craving more encouragement, connection, and meaningful relationships, you’ll also want to learn more about the brand new women’s community.
