Transcript excerpt from a podcast conversation (Moment 001) between hosts Bunny Young and guest Sarah Lambert about manifestation, energy, intentionality, and how those dynamics shape personal life and business. Sarah describes leaving room for 'magic', using personal development to loosen control, and gives anecdotes (e.g., receiving sparkly cowboy boots) to illustrate manifestation. They discuss holding a high vibration, how environment and travel elevate energy, the interaction between energy and evidence (belief before proof), and how steady vibrational range affects relationships and parenting.

Jumping into the intentionality and the alignment and getting a little bit more juicy. One of the things that you and I had discussed offline is a little bit of setting, intentions, and manifestation. How has that played a role in building a business? The conversations we never thought we'd have.
I know. I love it. I love it. It's so fun because you can't really understand manifestation until you're seeing it happen. You can't predict it, you can't plan it out. And that's actually what trips people up. Right. Everyone wants to control and be able to predict. And one of the biggest things that we've always talked about is being able to leave room for magic. Yeah, right. It's like Bunny is the best planner. Give her a spreadsheet, can have it all mapped out, all planned out like a boss. And I would always be saying, don't plan too much. Leave room for magic. And that can be hard for a lot of people. And I know it was hard for me too, in the beginning because I wanted to be able to control and know for certain. But what I have found is that the looser our grip on things, the more they're going to come to us. And that has required a lot of personal development and growth on my part. And that's part of the work that we do with my clients because it's such an important part of being able to manifest. And really, everything in our life is just a manifestation of previous thoughts, actions, versions of ourself. It's been fun to see how that's played out. For example, a funny story. I was just traveling, and my girlfriends and I went to Nashville. We're big country fans, but I don't own a pair of cowboy boots. Bunny, you own a pair of cowboy. With your.
I am seven.
Seven. Yeah, of course. So I don't own a pair. And we meet a bunch of older gentlemen, and we start chatting with them, and they're buying us some drinks. And one of the guy just says to me, you don't have a pair of cowboy boots? And I said, no, I don't. Said, do you want a pair? And I said, maybe. And he said, well, let's go get some. I've never bought a random person a pair of boots. So my girlfriend and I go across the street to the boot Barn, and he's just standing at the door, like, make this quick. We pick a pair of shiny, sparkly boots. He says, keep them on, throws down 300 cash. We walk out, and I bought him and his friends around a drinks and we said goodbye. It's just so funny because before going, I was like, oh, maybe I should get a pair of boots. And I never did. And then all of a sudden, I'm there and somebody buys me a pair of boots. And it's just a fun. It was a fun manifestation because it's so easy to be detached from something like that. But then when it comes to our business, our livelihood, our whole personality becomes intertwined with our results, and we end up stifling any kind of magic or any kind of fire that we can create. And so that was one very obvious and fun manifestation. But just being able to, in my business, create the spaciousness that I have, that has been my best, most amazing manifestation.
And.
And it takes intentionality and knowing what you want and just taking those actions towards it.
Yeah. And the clarity on, like, how it feels. This is something that we've talked about a lot on, like, how you want it to feel, you know, I don't think you had perfectly imagined sparkly cowboy boots.
I couldn't have dreamed them. I couldn't have even dreamed them up. It always turns out better just knowing.
How you want it to feel, though. And that spaciousness that you talk about. One of the things that I've been talking about is setting that energy, I think, and this is my hypothesis, is being in Nashville and being surrounded by all of your best friends and being in, like, the country capital, that all elevates that energy and that manifestation. It sometimes is really difficult to manifest when you're surrounded by people who are not at that frequency, who don't believe that you're capable of your highest and best. And this is difficult when you're building a company, especially like you were building a side hustle in a corporate environment. And then when you stepped out of the corporate environment, lo and behold, like, it became elevated because you weren't stuck in a corporate environment and corporate mindset.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. The energy is so different. And you're so right. I love that. Just Even going to a new place. I know you travel a ton. You love to travel. And I was actually really excited about just getting to be in the energy that I'm in right now somewhere else.
Yeah.
And somewhere that really does hold a very high vibration. Live music, everyone's feeling great. The, you know, alcohol helps that, but for me, it's the music. Right. Music just raises your vibration when it's music you love. And so I was actually really, really excited to be able to go and be in at my highest frequency. And it felt so good. And I've been intentional about holding that vibration since I got home. And one of the things that I know to be true is that my kids energy and my kids behavior and my kids receptivity to me is directly correlated to my own energy which is a hard pill to swallow when I am not feeling so great. And I have to take full responsibility for that. But wow, it's. I actually haven't even really, really reflected on this until this moment. But since I got home I just chalked it up to them missing me, which is probably part of it. But I've been home for four days now and their energy is just so great. But when I look at my own energy, my energy has been amazing. And it's fun to be able to tap into a higher frequency and then get to hold that.
Yeah. And how it impacts everything from your finances to your energy to like you said, your relationships and your family. And I'm curious when you started this journey. I kind of wonder if the energy came first or the evidence had to come first. I just wonder what your experience has been in your marriage as well as explaining manifestation and miracles. And I know at this point that your hubby trusts you that if you say it's going to happen, it's going to happen. Like it probably didn't start that way.
No, absolutely not. In your relationship when it comes to this kind of thing, for some one person to be a little bit different, I don't want to say ahead in a winning type of way, but just a little bit more ahead in terms of understanding the energy or being interested in the energy. And that was me in our relationship. But he's always been very open, which is something that I am so grateful for because it makes it so easy to talk to him about these things. And he's always been very open and such a believer. But I think that question around what came first, the evidence or the energy? I would have to say that it's the energy because there was no evidence in the beginning. He didn't wait to believe in me until there was evidence. He believed in me because he knew me and he felt my energy and he is my soulmate. And so for us it was definitely the energy. However, with the evidence that belief becomes even stronger, which is what it's like for all of us. Right. And so I think it is a bit of a dance where it starts with the energy but then it snowballs.
My dad reflected this back to me a couple months ago. I can't remember the specific situation, but I was having a conversation with him, and he's like, it sounds like you're asking me for permission, and that's not necessary. And like you said, it's a little bit of a dance. And so being able to have those people who are a full F. Yes to your narrative and supporting you personally. Over the last two years, there's been a ton of things in my own life where it's difficult to hold that high vibration. And so I've seen that dance of even coming to you and being like, hey, can you just hold up a mirror for me for a second? Because I'm struggle busing a little bit. And so I think that I'm sharing that because I want to make sure that for those of you listening understand that, yes, you can go through a difficult time and still achieve everything that you want, and yes, you can manifest everything you want and still have difficult times. I think both of those are true for me.
Oh, that is so important for everyone to understand. Because when I say hold the vibration, it's not that you have to be happy all the time and you have to be positive all the time. There's no toxic positivity involved. It's simply just the beliefs that you have for yourself are unwavering to an extent.
Like.
Like, the waves are shorter, so it's not this high and low. It's this small vibrational up and down, which is normal because we're humans. And maybe it'll dip a little bit, but then it. It goes back up. But there's not these drastic highs and lows. I think that's holding the vibration. The vibration isn't stay here. It's. This is my new range that I'm in.
