Last night I came across the words, "whatever is meant for you will never pass you by," and for some reason they really stopped me in my tracks. I've been thinking a lot recently about the manifestations, wishes and dreams in my life that haven't quite come to fruition yet, and this simple reminder brought me back to a much calmer place.

In this episode, I talk through some of my thoughts around manifestation, trusting the universe, letting go of control and believing that the things meant for us will find their way to us, even when they don't arrive in the way or on the timeline we'd imagined.

It's a little later than usual, but I wanted to record this while the thought was still fresh. If you're currently waiting for something you've been hoping, wishing or manifesting for, I hope this gives you a little bit of comfort too. ❤️

The Winging It Life Podcast explores manifestation, mindset, happiness, personal growth and the messy process of building a life that feels good while it's still unfolding.

Maybe it's not a no. Maybe it's just not yet. Sorry it's a little late - enjoy

I've been trying to manifest a very specific house on a very specific road.

And I've been trying really hard.

The problem is, I'm starting to realise that maybe the universe hasn't been refusing to give me what I want. Maybe I've been so focused on the exact thing I've decided I want that I've missed the possibility that there's something better coming.

In this episode, I talk about what I'm learning about co-creating with the universe rather than trying to force an outcome, and the difference between knowing the essence of what you want and becoming attached to exactly how it has to arrive.

I also tell you the slightly bizarre story of how the universe may have helped me find a ring I'd lost for almost a year.

Whether you believe in manifestation, the Law of Attraction or simply the idea that sometimes we need to stop forcing things and allow ourselves to be open to other possibilities, this is a conversation about trusting the process, letting go of control and asking whether the thing we're chasing is actually the thing we want.

Because maybe you don't need to manifest the house.

Maybe you need to manifest how you want to feel in your home.

And maybe there's a difference between giving up on what you want and trusting that it can arrive in a way you haven't imagined yet.

I went swimming yesterday morning and, for about ten seconds, decided to stop treating exercise like another thing I needed to optimise and pretended I was Ariel instead. 😂 And weirdly, it changed my entire mood.

It got me thinking about happiness, manifestation and something I've been exploring a lot recently: perhaps the things we're chasing aren't really what we're chasing at all. During infertility and IVF, I thought a baby was the thing that would finally make me happy. Looking back, underneath that desire I was also desperately searching for relief, peace and the feeling that everything was going to be okay.

And I still do it now. The promotion, the house, getting my book published, even deciding whether a pedicure is a sufficiently productive use of my lunch break. There's always another milestone promising a feeling on the other side.

In this episode, I'm thinking out loud about personal growth, happiness, manifestation, productivity, infertility and learning how to find those feelings in the life I'm living now, even if sometimes that means being a nearly 40-year-old woman doing mermaid kicks in a swimming pool full of very serious adults.

Maybe the question isn't "What am I chasing?"

Maybe it's "What feeling am I actually looking for?"

And when was the last time you did something simply because it felt good?

The Winging It Life Podcast explores happiness, identity, mindset and the messy process of building a life that feels good while it's still unfolding. Because happiness shouldn't have to wait.

One other thing I'd keep an eye on: "When was the last time you played?" could become a really good recurring theme in the book too.

Because it's not just about play. It's about the difference between doing something because of where it gets you and doing something because of how it feels while you're doing it.

That distinction feels increasingly central to what you're trying to say.
