If Manifesting Is So Easy, Why Does It Feel So Hard?

Let’s talk about manifesting. Not the shiny kind that sounds good on Pinterest. The real kind. The messy kind. The kind where you try everything and still feel like the universe has you on silent mode.
You’re not alone. So many women message me thinking they’re cursed or blocked or not “high vibe” enough. And honestly, I don’t blame them. Manifesting has been turned into some aesthetic performance, and if you’re not chanting by candlelight with your smoothie journal and perfect skin, you must be doing it wrong, right?
Wrong.
The truth? Some people manifest easily because they’re not terrified of actually having what they’re asking for. They’re not sitting in a subconscious war zone. They believe it can happen. And more importantly, their nervous system believes it too. That’s it. That’s the magic.
If you’re someone who’s had a lot of trauma, chaos, letdowns, or just too much responsibility too young — your system might not feel safe with ease. Your body might not trust abundance, peace, love, or rest. So when you go to manifest it, your whole inner world clenches. Not because you don’t want it. But because it doesn’t feel familiar.
That’s not a mindset issue. That’s survival. And that’s where a lot of manifesting advice completely misses the mark.
So let’s clear something up.
Manifesting isn’t just thinking about what you want until it falls into your lap. It’s about becoming someone who can actually hold the life you want. It’s about your patterns, your beliefs, your reactions, and how safe you feel to receive without sabotaging it two days later.
Some people don’t need to do any rituals. They just decide and it lands because they’re not doubting it every five minutes. Others need to gently unpack years of fear and conditioning. Neither is wrong. One’s just quieter.
You want a manifesting hack? Here it is.
Stop trying to be the most spiritual person in the room. Be the most honest person in the room. That’s usually when something clicks. Not all at once. But enough to feel like you're finally getting somewhere.
Try asking yourself:
If the thing I want showed up tomorrow, would I actually feel ready?
What part of me doesn’t trust that it’s possible?
Who told me I couldn’t have it?
Where am I still operating from old versions of myself?
This is the stuff that clears the blocks. Not another vision board. Not another love letter to the moon. You don’t have to slap a smile on or say thank you to the universe when you’re actually exhausted and over it.
And no, there’s no exact timeline. Anyone who tells you it should only take 21 days or 3 months or whatever probably hasn’t sat in the waiting room with their life falling apart and still tried to hold the vision. It might take longer than you want, but that doesn’t mean it’s not working. And it sure as hell doesn’t mean you’ve messed it up.
Manifesting isn’t a trick. It’s a remembering. It’s getting back to the version of you who knew what you wanted before life made you doubt it. It’s learning that you don’t need to struggle or prove yourself just to deserve something good. It’s gently unlearning the part of you that only feels safe when she’s overdoing it or playing small.
So no, you’re not getting it wrong. You’re just human. With a brain. And a body. And probably way too much on your plate.
The only “right” way to manifest is the way that brings you closer to yourself.
No more forcing. No more pretending. Just learning how to want again. Fully. Loudly. And without apology.

If you’re done second-guessing yourself and want something that actually helps you shift your energy without the fluff, I made a workbook for that.
It’s not just about “thinking positive.” It’s about clearing what’s been in the way and finally getting clear on what you want and how to call it in.
