EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™

What if the opportunities you’re waiting for don’t go to the most qualified… but to the most visible? What if being seen is the missing piece to your next level? 

Today, we’re stepping into something new with our first-ever in-studio recording featuring TBMer, author, and career strategist Courtney Johnson. She joins Jessica to break down the truth about visibility, personal branding, and authentic career expansion in today’s evolving landscape.

Together, they explore why success is no longer about grinding harder, but about showing up more truthfully, consistently, and unapologetically. Courtney cuts through the...

Are you torn between being authentic and just surviving in today's world? What if authenticity, rather than effort or optimization, is the real currency now?

This episode dives deep into the energetic shifts of the new paradigm and why so many people are feeling tension, confusion, and major internal clearing. Lacy and Jessica explore what it means to live in alignment while operating inside an outdated system—and why authenticity, integrity, and inner truth are becoming the true drivers of manifestation. From nervous system regulation and energetic cord cutting to redefining success beyond hustle culture, this conversation un...

What if what you deserve is already here, just waiting for you to be ready? Could releasing the timeline be the medicine that finally lets you connect with it?

In this episode, Jessica pulls back the curtain on a major manifestation that's been unfolding over 4 years. She shares the layers of healing, growth, and understanding she's moved through—and what she discovered was actually standing between her and what she was calling in.

Jessica opens up about her own blocks and unhealed parts of her inner narrative, including the trap of obsessing over optimization and fu...

What if financial freedom wasn’t about hustling and doing more, but about becoming the version of you who can receive it?

In this expansive conversation, Jessica sits down with spiritual investor Elizabeth Ralph to explore what it really means to engage with money, wealth, and investing from a conscious, heart-led place. They unpack the shift from the old paradigm of hustle, control, and fear-based earning to a new paradigm rooted in alignment, authenticity, trust, and true financial freedom.

Elizabeth shares how redefining freedom as ease transformed her life, why money is just energy, and ho...

This week, we're sitting down with Carly Ottaway—Pathway member and author of Coming Home—to explore the profound transformation that emerges from life's most destabilizing moments. From navigating fertility struggles to losing her home in a fire, Carly opens up about how surrender, self-trust, and deep inner work became her greatest anchors through the unthinkable.

Together, they unpack the illusion of control, the healing power of authenticity, and how speaking from the heart unlocks your most magnetic self. This conversation is a reminder that even in your darkest chapters, you are being guided toward something more alig...

You’re fine…so why do you feel stuck? Where is the fear coming from, even when you know you’re safe? 

The truth is, lasting change requires more than mindset work alone. It means training your nervous system to build new associations with things that once felt uncertain or threatening.

Today, Lacy, Jessica, and somatic expert Janelle unpack the true role of the nervous system in manifestation. They explore how your body's sense of safety determines when to shut down and protect you from potential threats—and when to expand, receive, and take aligned action to...

What if the moments that completely unravel your life are actually the ones that reveal your purpose?

This week, Jessica sits down with Spirit Daughter founder Jill Wintersteen for the untold story behind her spiritual work. Known for her astrology insights, moon rituals, and intuitive teachings, Jill opens up about the chaotic chapter that shaped it all: a federal investigation connected to her partner, life under constant fear, and what it took to rebuild from rock bottom.

Through breathwork, meditation, and deep inner healing, Jill shares how nervous system regulation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and...

We’ve never done an episode quite like this before.

We sat down with writer and creative Allie Carr—twice. In October 2025, she was just beginning to emerge from a really difficult chapter. When we spoke again in February 2026, her spark for life was fully back, and the seeds she had planted were unfolding in real time.

In the months between, Allie moved through a Saturn return, career pivots, financial uncertainty, and a deep shedding of who she used to be. What looked like falling apart was actually falling into place.

This conversation is a...

What if your core wounds aren't things to conquer, but parts of yourself that just need to be seen, heard, and understood? And what if the reason manifestation feels effortless in your imagination but impossible in action has nothing to do with motivation…and everything to do with your nervous system?

This week, Jessica sits down with somatic therapist and parts work expert Sarah Baldwin for a conversation that will completely reframe how you understand manifestation. Together, they explore why your nervous system calls the shots on what you attract, and how the self-protective patterns you developed as...

What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven’t built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn’t missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it? 

This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina’s story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It’s a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is me...

Feeling like the wheels are coming off your life—or the world?

The Year of the Fire Horse is here, and the old paradigm is dissolving fast. For some, it feels like rock bottom. For others, a slow unraveling. This week, Lacy and Jessica unpack the collective stripping, ego deaths, and visibility fears rising to the surface—and why this acceleration is actually a portal into your most authentic self.

If you’ve been stuck in perfectionism, burned out by optimization culture, or clear on your purpose but unable to move, this episode unpacks what’s happen...

Are your friendships or relationships feeling unaligned, unclear, or just plain confusing? Are you doing the work but still not experiencing the depth of connection you truly crave?

Right now, we’re in the midst of a collective relationship reckoning. In this potent episode, Jessica breaks down why manifesting love, intimacy, and deep friendship can feel harder than ever—and why it’s reflecting the exact parts of you that are ready to be healed.

If you're feeling romantically adrift, unseen, or wondering why your dream partner or soul-aligned friendships haven’t arrived yet, this episode...

What if the real reason you can’t hear your intuition is that there hasn’t been enough space to listen?

If your intuition feels quiet (or chaotic) you’re not alone. In this potent episode, Jessica welcomes back medium and spiritual teacher Taylor Paige for an expansive conversation on what it truly takes to connect with your intuitive gifts in our fast-paced, overstimulated world.

Together, they explore why nervous system regulation is the gateway to intuition and spiritual awakening, how “clearing the cobwebs” of mental noise is a non-negotiable step, and how healing the spirit wou...

Need a reminder of what’s possible, and that you’re in beautiful company doing this work? This episode is packed with expanders to inspire your path forward.

Expansion serves a very specific purpose: to rewire neural pathways, so that you can see what’s possible before your subconscious believes it’s possible for you. (It’s the very reason this podcast is called Expanded!) And expansion is everywhere: through friends, parents, peers, public figures, and even people you’ve never met. 

Today, we hear powerful manifestation stories from the Money Challenge and Return to Magic Challen...

Are you overthinking…or under-processing? What if reflection was the missing piece to becoming (and receiving) everything you’ve ever wanted?

Today, Tara Schuster returns to the Expanded Podcast to explore one of the most impactful healing modalities there is: journaling. Her latest book, This Journal F*cking Works, offers a science-backed and historical look at why journaling is so powerful, woven together with humor and Tara’s own journey of rewriting internal narratives to break free from toxic, repetitive thought loops. It’s an invitation to start “DMing with your soul” and to open up neural pathways of...

What if the chapter that once fit you perfectly is meant to close for something bigger and better?

Brand marketer and TBM team member Eugenia Ali shares her deeply honest journey of unraveling corporate success to build a life rooted in intuition, creativity, and self-trust. From climbing the ranks at Google to honoring the whispers of the universe, Eugenia walks us through the tender process of healing her core wound of belonging, reconnecting with her inner child through the Return to Magic Challenge, and manifesting a career that finally feels like home.

Eugenia’s story is...

What if you knew yourself well enough to know when a decision is aligned on a soul level?

As the Year of the Snake comes to a close, we’re completing a season of stripping away what no longer fits, what we’ve outgrown, what we’re finally ready to release. What remains beneath it all? And do you trust and know yourself enough to follow it?

In this solo episode, Jessica offers a grounded reframe for entering the new year with self-trust and intention—without the pressure of making it your “best year yet.” She explores...

What if we let go of “new year, new me” and stepped into “new year, real me?” What if welcoming back the parts of yourself you’ve been sidelining is the most magnetic way to begin 2026?

In this powerful kickoff to the year, Lacy and Jessica explore the energetics of the portal between the winter solstice and the New Year—a scientifically and spiritually potent window for quantum-level manifestation. Together, they unpack the theme of purpose: not just career, but the soul’s authentic expression across all areas of life.

You’ll learn how to reconnect with y...

We’re closing out the year by revisiting one of our most loved and impactful episodes of 2025. Especially during our end-of-year Return to Magic Challenge, this conversation on manifestation tests feels more relevant than ever.

Jessica and Lacy break down the seven most common types of manifestation tests, from scarcity and ego to boundaries and core wounds. They offer clear insight into how to recognize these tests, reframe your perspective, and move through them with greater self-trust. This replay is a powerful reminder that every challenge is an invitation to step deeper into your most magnetic, authentic se...

What would change if you had unshakeable self-worth? If judgment fell away and you tended to yourself with pure compassion, what version of self would come forward?

In this episode—a continuation of our Inner Child Phases series—Lacy, Jessica, and LMFT EMDR Therapist Janelle explore the final three stages of inner child development: Creativity & Play (ages 3-5), Confidence & Competence (ages 5-3), and Authentic Identity & Belonging (ages 13-21). These foundational years are where your creativity, passion, and your truest, weirdest self come into being.

For many of us, this is also where shame, conditioning, and “should...

What if the deeper purpose of your career, relationships, or home wasn’t about the goal itself, but about reconnecting with the truest version of you?

In this heartfelt conversation, actress Beth Behrs (Two Broke Girls, The Neighborhood) joins Jessica to explore the evolution of her manifestation practice—from hyper-specific manifestation lists in her 20s to soul-rooted simplicity in her late 30s. Through TBM tools, EMDR, the grounding presence of horses, and motherhood, Beth shares how healing childhood wounds of feeling “not enough” helped her redefine purpose, release perfectionism, and rediscover joyful creativity.

Though there’s no singl...

What if the way your needs were met in infancy still shapes your ability to feel safe, seen, and supported today?

Welcome to the end-of-year challenge: The Return to Magic. Today, Lacy, Jessica, and EMDR-certified LMFT Janelle dive deep into the foundation of all manifestation work: your earliest subconscious blueprint set in childhood. This episode explores the powerful programming from ages zero to 18 months. It’s a period most people don’t remember, but it’s when your soul touched down into your human body—and profoundly shapes who you are today. 

This early stage is where...

How much has your inner child been running the show? What parts have been hiding, stuck in a loop, or calling out for attention? 

This end-of-year challenge has been a long time coming. We’re going straight to the core: childhood, where we first learn (or don’t learn) safety, trust, boundaries, independence, creativity, playfulness, and joy. You’ll embark on a somatic journey through every developmental phase to reclaim what’s been buried and bypassed to reparent your inner child and reprogram the blocks standing in your way.

Whether you’ve been with TBM since the b...

Where have you been hiding? From others—or from yourself? And what might happen if you finally allowed yourself to be fully, fearlessly seen?

In this work, we root back into our whole, worthy, authentic selves—the magical selves we arrived as before the layers of societal programming settled in. In this conversation with TBM member and author Karin Hadadan, we’re reminded that we can return to, uncover, and embrace that perfect inner child.

Karin’s manifestation process isn’t about calling in material things, but about reconnecting to her truest self: her unblocked emotional...

If you turned down the noise and quieted all distractions for just a moment…what would rise to the surface? What would your soul call out for?

If this season has felt chaotic, you’re not alone. This solo episode with Jessica is a much-needed moment of reflection, and a reminder that the magic within you is still very much alive. Your purpose wants to be illuminated this season, and the universe is speeding up to connect you to your authentic self faster. It’s inviting you to shed your limiting beliefs, make that career leap, or reflec...

What could life look like if you had the tools and expansion to step through fear, stop playing small, and step fully into your potential? 

Today, we’re joined by Human Design expert and creator of the Align app Jenna Zoe for her first official Process episode. Jenna shares how Lacy was one of the few people to truly vision-hold for her and encourage her to step into her gifts, and how the TBM tools helped her ground, attune, and surrender to the universe’s will—reinforcing her faith that she was exactly where she was meant to be...

What if you stopped doubting your gifts and started letting them lead?

If you’ve ever felt a message come through a dream, sensed a shift when you walked into a room, or just *knew* something you “shouldn’t,” your intuition might be stronger than you think.

In this episode, Lacy and Jessica sit down with medium and energetic clearer Karen McGowan (aka Lacy’s mom!) for a no-gatekeeping conversation on what it really means to live with spiritual gifts. Karen shares it all — from her first spirit visit as a child to the symbols she’s learne...

What if it all works out? What if what you desire is closer than you think?

In this powerful episode, you’ll hear inspiring stories from TBM members—real people in our community who’ve used the work to manifest everything from aligned partners and dream careers to a deeper sense of grounding and abundance.

This episode is a reminder that the life you desire is possible. The magic of the universe, and the magic within you, belongs to you. These stories come from people doing the work just like you, who’ve tapped into their ma...

What if everything goes right? What if we looked to the future with excitement and joy?

In this ultra-expansive conversation, Libby DeLana invites us into her wildly magnetic life shaped by daily walking, attention, and playing at the edges. Wise expander and author of This Morning Walk and Cold Joy, Libby has modeled for iconic brands, manifested deeply aligned relationships, and continues to manifest beyond her wildest dreams—even in her 60s. Together, Jessica and Libby explore moving beyond identity loops, aging as expansion, and finding magic and tenderness in the present. Libby reminds us to follow jo...

How would it feel if you decided—just for a moment—to let the universe hold you and guide you? 

Do you feel peace and release? Or anxiety and panic? If it’s the latter, you’re likely struggling with fear of letting go, being hyper-focused on outcomes, or needing to ground into safety. This episode is here to remind you that surrender may be your medicine. 

In this round table discussion, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle dive deep into one of the hardest but most transformative parts of manifestation: surrender. They unpack what surrender really means—beyo...

What if the fear of falling short is the very thing keeping you from your own greatness?

In this vulnerable episode, Elizabeth Enders, host of The Wellness Process Podcast, gets real about her journey through rock-bottom moments—chronic health struggles, a challenging breakup, and a deep-rooted fear of staying stuck. She shares how, through the TBM work, she was able to move through a relationship ending and failed podcast to manifesting her dream partner and launching her most soul-aligned and successful business yet.

Elizabeth opens up about what it really takes to connect with your au...

Where are you giving your power away—and how can you take it back? 

In this powerful solo episode, our very own Jessica Gill explores one of the most foundational themes in manifestation: maintaining self-worth in the in-between. She explores why self-doubt often shows up as the “final boss” before your next level, how the uncomfortable middle ground is actually preparing you to hold the new, and the small ways you can build confidence by showing up for yourself daily. From unblocking hidden fears of unlikability to shifting perfectionism into self-compassion, this conversation will remind you that your po...

You’re ready to leave old narratives behind—but what comes next? How do we truly break those deep-rooted cycles?

In this empowering episode, Jessica sits down with author, podcaster, and spiritual thoughtleader Elise Loehnen, whose latest workbook, Choosing Wholeness Over Goodness, guides us through that “what now?” space. They explore how envy and expansion are connected, why we’re never truly alone when struggling with cultural programming, and how to truly release the stories that hold us back. Sharing their own experiences with external validation, fear of lack, and the need for control, they offer a roadmap to...

Are you being tested? Life is full of those frustrating moments—an unexpected bill, a toxic job dynamic, or an unaligned romantic suitor. This episode is your pick-me-up on how to navigate tests and what they really mean in manifestation terms. Lacy and Jessica share that tests aren’t here to punish us—they’re here to show if we’re truly ready for what we’re calling in. Each test reflects our subconscious self-worth, asking us to notice old patterns and choose differently this time. Through live channelings, grounded insights, and real-time examples, they walk you through the TBM approach...

What if your dream life was on the other side of the fear of being “cringe?”

In this expansive Process episode, Jessica sits down with TBM community member Alexandria to explore what it looks like to manifest from alignment when everything familiar falls away. From starting out as a fitness influencer to becoming a retreat host and conscious creator, Alexandria shares how she moved through the fear of being seen, reconnected with her inner child, and followed intuitive pings that led her to quit her job, heal old wounds, and sell out her first retreat—all without a perf...

What if those old blocks resurfacing were simply the universe clearing the cobwebs for your next level?

In Expanded’s seventh anniversary reflection, Lacy and Jessica pull back the curtain on life after the Money Challenge—sharing candid updates, emotional shifts, and the deep initiations they’ve navigated. Together, they explore how manifestation isn’t always about striving for more, but often about slowing down, feeling deeply, and reclaiming your authentic rhythm.
