Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Can You Crystals the podcast. I hope that you're all well. As you know by now, my name is Mart Tweedy, I am your host, and this week I am joined by one of my favorite manifestation coaches over on Instagram. Actually, she's on a mission to empower women to create a business and life filled with joy, intention, and abundance. Hallelujah! Who doesn't need that? She's also a podcast host. She's an author. She's actually got her second book out next year. So please, please welcome to the show, from the Manifestation Collective, we've got Victoria Jackson. Hi Victoria, how are you?

Hello! What an introduction!

Oh, thank you.

I love that. I feel like Mart should be my, my publicist. Yeah, why not?

How are you doing?

Are you all right? Yes, I'm well, thank you. Really, really well. I was just saying before we started, we hit record, it's lovely to speak to a fellow Northerner in the podcast world.

Yeah, I think I remember, like, when I first found you, I was like, oh, she's from up north. And I thought, is she from Newcastle? Is she not? And I couldn't quite tell. And then I was like, oh yeah, the Yorkshire accent is coming right through now.

She's from Leeds.

Yeah, she's from Leeds. So, Victoria, just before we get into this conversation, like, I want to know, what's your story? Like, how did you get into all of this? Because been around for some time. Hope you don't mind me saying, but how has spirituality and manifestation kind of impacted your life? Take me right back to the start.

Yeah, so if we go right back to like 2015, that was when I first discovered manifestation, and I was in a really, you know, negative headspace. And it's funny because when I tell that to people now, they're kind of like, I can't imagine you being really negative. But I was. I was like just consumed by stress of the job that I was in. And at the time I was working in publishing, I was the editor of a men's fashion magazine, and it was on paper, it was like, wow, you've got this amazing job and you're traveling to all these places all over the world. But in reality, it was like I was crying on the motorway going to work, like my hair was coming out, like I was getting tested for like irregular heartbeat. And it was just a lot of stress on my body. And I then discovered I had an Audible free credit and I thought, what is this, The Secret? I've heard people talking about this. So I listened to it 2 times and I thought, what an absolute load of rubbish. The third time I listened to it and I said, right, I'm just going to be open to this now. I'm going to allow myself to whatever comes through. I'm just going to listen. And it was like something just clicked in my mind and I was like, okay, I am now in control of my thoughts. They're not in control of me. So I started really small and I was like, right, all I'm going to do is just try to shift my mindset when I'm driving to work on the motorway. So if someone cuts in front of me, I'm just going to say, okay, they obviously need to get to work and that's it. Instead of the usual road rage, which had set me up for before I started work. So I would, I'd let them go and then I'd just be driving to work and I'd be saying all the things that I was grateful for, like just having food for breakfast, you know, just having the car, the petrol, etc. So that was in 2015. I didn't tell anybody that I was kind of diving into this world, but I have like a very all or nothing personality. So as soon as I discovered The Secret, there were lots of things in that book that I didn't resonate with, particularly, you know, personally for me. So I kind of went out and started to look at other people like Bob Proctor, you know, like just kind of Joe Dispenza, just kind of looking at different people's views and what this whole term of manifestation was. And that was, you know, 2015, 2016, and by 2018 I had become like a, I feel like a seasoned kind of manifestor. I was calling in money, I was, you know, lots of different things I was manifesting, but very, very small things. And I was just so tired of this, this job that I had, and I said to the universe on a Sunday night, I said, 'Universe, please send me a sign that I'm meant to do something else. Like, I think I'm meant to work for myself. I'm meant to carve something in this world.' So I visualised working somewhere with my laptop. Like, honestly, I spent about 2 hours in bed that Sunday night just embodying the version of me that didn't have to go to work that next day. Anyway, I went into work that next morning, told my friends on my little pod what I'd done, and they all were like, oh, you're speaking to the universe again, you know, doing it in bunny ears, inverted commas. And I said, I am manifesting leaving this job, like something's going to come up. And I kid you not, at midday we were all called into a meeting room and our CEO said, we're closing the magazines down. And I was made redundant that day. And if I hadn't have said to my friends the morning of, Nobody would believe this story. They wouldn't have believed you. Yeah, but because I'd said I have, you know, I'm manifesting leaving and I got, we got made redundant. Unfortunately, I got 6 months worth of pay and I said, right, I'll give myself 6 months and if it works, it works. If it doesn't, I'll find another job. And like I say, the rest is history. I started a Facebook group just called The Manifestation Collective just to chat to other people about manifestation. And organically it has turned into what it is now, which is a membership, one-to-one coaching, podcast, 2 books, speaking gigs, like, put everything. And it's just crazy to think that this has— well, it's not crazy because the universe led me here, but here we are.

Oh, amazing. You've done so, so well. I didn't realize it's only been such a short time because honestly, I thought you'd been around for— I mean, I know it's like 8 years ago because we're in 2023 now, but I thought you'd been around for years and years before that. So it is practically still new for you, really. It's still in its infancy because you can only go up from here.

You can only grow.

But that story about like the redundancy, like there's no explaining that. Like people always say to me, do you think it's like a bit of being psychic or is it just coincidence? And I'm like, there are no coincidences. And it might be that your intuition is, you know, psychically telling you about what's going to happen. So when you manifest it, it's like implanting little things in your brain. But how do you feel about that?

Yeah, I like the idea that almost like the universe has been dropping like nuggets that are— it's almost like see these, like breadcrumbs. Yeah, like breadcrumbs. And maybe that I had heard subconsciously, not realizing, as I passed an office that things weren't going well. And, you know, in my mind I'm thinking, okay, I'm being led to something now. Like, not that I'd said made redundant. In my head I was almost thinking, like, I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe that I'd just win a bulk of money and I'd be able to leave or something like that. I never really considered redundancy because I've been in that role for 10 years. So it wasn't really a thing that I was considering. And then it happened very, like, the day after, within less than 24 hours. And I was like, universe, if this is the sign, then I'm taking it.

I was going to say, there's no coincidences there. That's got to have been a sign.

Definitely.

I was just explaining beforehand as well. So I've got a copy of your book here, which is Manifesting for Beginners: A Step-by-Step Guide to Attracting a Life You Love. So talk me through that because it's basically 9 steps, isn't it? And it's your 9 steps to attracting the life that you love. So how did that come about and what can my listeners expect if they were to read On Inside?

Yeah. So we really— when they came to me with this book idea, the publishers approached me. I didn't like— I feel I definitely manifested them into me. And I always tell this story. In 2017, I wrote a Facebook status, which is really because I can go back and see it now. And it said, I am just putting it out there to the universe that I am calling in a book deal. And at the time, because it was 2017, I worked in— I used to have a blog about interior design, and I thought I would do a— I'd write a book on how to decorate a rental property, right? But then obviously 2021 comes along and a publishing team just reached out to me, and I genuinely thought that they just wanted a quote for me for a book that they were doing on manifestation. So I would write, you know, a page or something. And at the end of this meeting, I said, I'm so sorry, but are you asking— like, is this asking me to write the whole book? And she was like, 'Yeah, what did you think the meeting was about?' And I was like, 'I'm so sorry, I thought you just wanted like a quote.' Um, so anyway, I, I sat with them and I said, 'I feel like there are so many amazing books out there for manifestation. I want to really take it back to the very basics and really do a manifesto.' So imagine if you had never even touched on manifestation before, you were almost like a bit cynical, because I was very cynical, typical northerner. I didn't really believe what The Secret was telling me at first until I experienced it. So I really wanted to break it down into really simple, like, tangible steps as well. So the chapters, we look at kind of visualizing your future self, setting soul goals. I always talk about soul goals, goals that really set your soul on fire, connecting to the universe, different ways that you could do that, um, signs and synchronicities, like taking the action. And at the end of every chapter, there's always an exercise to do. So there might be a new moon ritual, there might be kind of like a, some journaling prompts to access your future self and see what you want your, you know, your future to look like, how to let go and just kind of release that grip on your manifestation. So you'll notice in the book, it's almost like I don't really use kind of, I'm gonna say, like whimsical kind of buzzwords or anything like that. It's really stripped back to its core, and that's what I wanted it to be. And it has been, I'm gonna say, super successful. I am going to stand with that and say it really has been for me. So yeah.

No, I was going to say it really has been successful because I was even just looking on Amazon this morning at some of the reviews and stuff. And I love to read through book reviews. I'm really sad. But I was looking through and literally they're all 5-star and they're all like, this book has changed my life. This is amazing. People saying it's a great stepping stone as an introduction into manifesting. And it is. There's like over 1,000 reviews on there. So it's definitely a successful book. And I'm like, wow, this is just amazing.

Just wanted to tell you a really weird synchronicity. To that happened. So I have this amazing author. She wrote my favorite book ever, Brianna Weston. She wrote 101 Essays to Change the Way You Think. And it was like, I've sent it to my friends. I'm like, it's the book that I always go on about. And I read that in 2020. It must have been because it was in the pandemic and I was really like, kind of going through it mentally. And I had an email one day from a woman from this publishing company. And I thought, I recognize that publishing company. Thought, Thought Catalogue, and they said, we love your book, you know, we want you to write one for us, or we want to take your book and publish it in the US. Um, and it was Brianna's publisher, and they had come to me, and now they're my US distributor for the book. And I just could not get over the fact that the universe had spoken about Brianna's book so much and how much I loved her, and then her publishers were coming to me and saying, we want to represent your book. And I was like, is this real life?

That's a total synchronicity there, isn't it?

Yes.

So Victoria, what's your next book going to be based around then? Because I feel like you've pretty much covered everything in this book. So what's your next book going to be on? Is it still going to be about manifestation or are we moving more towards mindset? What's that going to be about?

So what I found is after the book came out and even before the book came out, I would always get questions sent to me like, but how do I manifest my soulmate? You know, I thought I'd manifested my dream job, but now, you know, I haven't. You know, it's not come to fruition. And all these questions were coming through like, how do I manifest like more soulmate friends into my life? And so I said to my publishers, look, I've got all these questions coming to me. I think I could do a bit of a, you know, Bible, if you like. And it's called How to Manifest Anything. So we've got 6 chapters. It goes across home, love, career, money, friends and family, and life in general. So kind of questions like, I'm in an energy funk, like, how do I move out of that? And within each chapter, these 7 questions So it's like 41 questions overall. And what I want it to be like is almost like you grab it and you can dip in and out of it whenever you feel like you need some kind of guidance. And again, with different techniques in there, like, for example, at the moment I'm just writing about working in a toxic kind of workplace. And because I've been there and I've experienced that before, then I'm kind of writing how you can create a protection bubble around you and even looking at what crystals you can put on your desk to be able to, you know, almost like stop that negativity from being able to penetrate your energy.

Yeah. What crystals do you work with on a day-to-day basis? Just out of curiosity.

Well, I have— I mean, I've got them all around me, but I'll tell you my favorite. So I have my selenite wand. So every time I'll do a coaching call, I'll finish and I'll just kind of waft my selenite wand all around me. But my favorite, my favorite ever, ever crystal is citrine. It changed my life. Like, it was citrine. We're showing each other our crystals. So citrine is my, like, babies, the thing that I just love. But also pyrite, that has— I went to a shop, this is— I'll tell you this story. I went to a shop and I bought this huge piece of pyrite, it was like £65. I was like, right, come on. And I felt the energy around it. Got back to my car from moving to the crystal shop and I had an email from a company that said, hi Victoria, you took out a loan with us in 2024— 2014, sorry. So this was like, I was thinking like 9 years ago. Um, we're gonna refund you because you were missold it, and here's blah blah, and you're gonna be paid £5,000. And this wasn't a PPI, whatever it's called, you know, when you, you write to them and they say— this was them contacting me out of the blue to say, look, we missold you this, we, we are refunding you this money and all of the interest from 2014 to now, and it added up to £5,000. And they were like, we'll get a check. And I was like, pyrite, thank you.

It's, it's absolutely crazy. Like, you'll know this, you know Whitby, for example. Like, yeah, I used to go around Whitby when I was like, like, my mom would take us like most weekends in the summer and things, and we used to like go around, you know, all the little goth shops that sold all crystals and things. And I remember I used to pick up like what, what I know now was pyrite, but I think it used to be called, uh, fool's gold. They used to class it as fool's gold. And I used to be absolutely amazed by it because of how shiny it was. But obviously I didn't know back then the properties and things about crystals. I didn't know anything until about 2019. So it's weird that crystals have always been around, obviously, because they're like thousands of years old, but they've just never been incorporated. Did you used to use them when you were a kid, or were you aware of them as a kid?

No, I don't think so. And honestly, I think because of like the— I'm gonna say where I was brought up, or, you know, I think I would have just been made fun of if I'd have got anything like a crystal, or it'd just been like, oh, what are you doing? Put that down. Or, you know, so I just wasn't in that. And even that's kind of what stopped me talking about manifestation for so long, because people were just so dismissive of it. They were just almost like questioning my own kind of sanity, I'm gonna say, because I was talking about this thing called the universe and how I was attracting things with, you know, the power of my thoughts. And then you only have to look at like yoga, you know, when yoga first started to come over to the UK, it was almost seen as this like hippie thing, like, you know, nobody does yoga, who does yoga? And now it's like part of everyday life for a lot of people. And I see crystals, manifestation, even talking about energy, that is where this is going. It will become part of everybody's like everyday life, I'm hoping.

Yeah, I totally agree. We went to Happy Place Festival not long ago, Fern Cotton's festival, and there was loads of yoga girls staying in our hotel. So while we were having breakfast, we were like the only people just in normal clothes. Everyone else was in yoga gear with all the mats and things. And we got talking to some as they were walking down, and I mentioned to them, I've got a crystal online business and things, and they were all absolutely amazed. And I think it is becoming part of the norm now. And like you say, especially in meditation practices, well-being circles, that kind of thing. So, yeah, I love it. I absolutely love it. And I know that you mentioned there, Victoria, about your selenite wand when, like, just before you go through your coaching. So I know obviously I'd like to speak to you about coaching, if that's all right. Just how do you empower people to kind of create, you know, a business and life filled with that joy, that intention, and that abundance? How do you go about that?

I think first of all, we focus on like, where are you focusing on the lack? Like, where are you? Because this is what happens with a lot of people, you know, especially when you're in an economy and that can be quite feel like it's imbalanced. We are like that in the UK and you're surrounded by, although I try not to focus too much on the news and what's happening across social media and stuff, but a lot of people are surrounded by that. And I say, okay, where can we turn that lack and turn to focus? Because what will happen is, oh, well, I only have like 10 people on my email list. And I'm like, amazing, you've got 10 people there. To be able to send an email to right now to say hello, send a personalized email to them, let them know what you are selling or what you'd like to share with them. Imagine 10 people on a table with you. And this is what I always say to people, like, let's stop looking at metrics, that they're not real people or that they've not chosen to follow your journey. And then little, I always call them, let's look for like little moments of magic through the day. Like you might have some lovely feedback and start a feedback folder where that you can, all the screenshots that you get, put them all together. So when you're having a bit of a shaky day, that you can go into that folder and just see, because what will happen is you want to find evidence for your subconscious that things are actually going well instead of always focusing, because where focus goes, energy flows. So we want to move it away from lack and start to look up actually what might be going well for you in business. And then I'll say to people, okay, let's forget about what everybody else is doing online. Everybody seems to, you know, have a blueprint for success, but that's, that's a blueprint for their success, what works for their energy flow. Like, let's look at what you truly want. And I had, um, I had a situation recently where I had registered for VAT because I've gone over a certain threshold, and I started to feel— I, I could see from forecasting that I would have to really increase my workload to be able to start to feel a benefit, because I'm— I was soaking up the VAT payment for my customers, and that was a conscious choice that I wanted to make. So I sat with it and I thought, right, either I could be led by ego and I could stay VAT registered, or I could cut some things back. I could pull my income back from 6 figures to 5 figures, and I could just live in this 'Stay at this energy of balance for a little while, this energy of slow.' I call myself like a slowpreneur, like I take things really gently in business. And that was kind of like me saying, 'I am following a goal that I want to have, like an achievement for me to live slowly within this business,' rather than following my ego that is still inside me saying, 'Well, you're only successful when you're making six figures.' That's not true. That's kind of like, that's something that has been programmed into us. From, you know, all the things that we see on Instagram. So it's really allowing that, that client, if I work with them, to say, what do you truly want? What is going to make your soul happy? And what's going to light you up? So those are the two things that I'll really focus on first of all.

I love that. And I know you often use like different technical practices as well, don't you? So for example, I know that you're an EFT practitioner. So I mean, I absolutely love EFT. Like, I've been doing it every single day and Even recently, I was only speaking about this on the podcast a couple of weeks ago. I've been doing this tapping for £50,000 kind of on YouTube. It's just like a YouTube thing. It's an American woman, she says $50,000, but I keep mentioning it in pounds. Yeah. And lately, well, it was about a month ago, I think it was, I got contacted by a woman at Chanel that basically placed like a £27,000 order, and that took me over the £50,000 a month. And I was like, oh my God, I've been tapping every single day for this. Tapping works. So I put it down to, you know, that tapping got rid of all those limiting beliefs, all those blocks that came up inside of me. So what's your take on it all? What's the science behind it all? Because you're an actual EFT practitioner, aren't you?

Yeah. So it was developed in the mid-1990s, and a lot of people put it down to like a pseudoscience, you know, kind of like a, you know, it's not something that works, almost like a placebo effect, if you like. But you have different meridian points around your body. So think of it like acupuncture, acupressure, and there are hundreds. But with EFT, you'll probably use one at the top of your head, like eyebrow, under your eye, etc., temple. And in my book, I actually have like a script to follow as well, which just makes it easier if it's your first kind of foray into EFT. So it's Emotional Freedom Technique, and you'll often hear people call it, as you say, like tapping. So like Traditional Chinese Medicine says that between these meridian points is a pathway where the energy flows. And if you are in this state of kind of stagnant negative energy, almost like take this £50,000, if you're kind of thinking, I don't think this is possible for me, what we need to do is tap on this pathway. So tap on these different, different meridian points and use kind of like your index finger, middle finger, tap on them. And then you are saying out loud like, 'Even though I think, you know, £50,000 is not possible for me, I still love and accept myself.' And what we're doing is we are getting ourselves to a neutral state. We're not expecting to tap in positivity straight away. Let's get into a neutral state. So you could say then, you know, 'Maybe it is possible for me,' you know, 'Maybe things could change, maybe something will come out the blue.' And then what we're doing is we are programming in really beautiful positive language, which then your subconscious is taking in, but it's changing your actions and your behaviors. And subconsciously, what you will have done to attract this kind of, this amazing opportunity from Chanel, you might have shown up differently online. You might have shown up more. You might have believed that it was possible for you. And that's what tapping does. It really kind of solidifies it. And I have always said there is so much power in EFT. This is why I do it with clients, but subliminals as well. Like, I am such a believer in subliminals that the fact that So if you've not heard of subliminals before, it's a piece of music, and what will be behind that music, which you can't really hear, is really beautiful language like positive affirmations. Because your conscious mind just hears the music, your subconscious can pick up, and it bypasses the conscious mind. It's programming in this, this really positive affirming language. And it has— like, I use subliminals while I was on a bit of a rough health journey through the last, like, 14 months. And it has been life-changing that I, I tell my— I listen to a subliminal that tells myself, like, I've got a healthy body, like, I've got a healthy mind. And it's, yeah, it's life-changing.

It does. And it does, like, exactly what you were saying there. It does help you show up differently. Because, I mean, on a daily basis, I tap, I listen to subliminals, I meditate, I visualize. I always make sure I've got at least 10-15 minutes to read, maybe in bed or at the start of the day. And just even, like, getting outside and, you know, like, getting into, like, nature and ground in that kind of thing. So what do you do personally to ensure that you're always hitting your goals and desires?

I think for me, I, for some reason, scripting, like writing things down, is so powerful for me. And I think maybe, is it because I love writing? Maybe I'm so connected to that. And I love looking at my vision board and really embracing that energy. And I have it, you know, around me all the time. I've got it on my phone, so it's always there, always kind of reminding me of what I want to achieve. And what I want to attract into my life. But what I used to do, and I felt that this didn't work for me, I had a very strict morning routine and I'd listen to the Miracle Morning, is it? Is it? Yeah, the Morning Miracle. Yeah. And I was like, right, this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to do all of this. And then I started to kind of beat myself up when I'd fall off a day. And I was like, okay, now it's looking at something. I call it like a pick and mix. So I'll wake up in the morning and I'll have this tool belt of things that I want to dive into. Maybe it could be scripting or meditation or just visualizing, and I'll see what I feel pulled to that day. It might even just be going to the gym and riding on my bike for 45 minutes, listening to a meditation, like an uplifting, like, walking meditation, or, you know, whatever. I use the Superhuman app, you know, by— oh yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's got all sorts of, like, exercise and meditations on there. And so that might be something that I do. So I don't put pressure on myself as long as at least once a day, I'm connecting to the— I mean, I'm embodying that version of me that I want to become.

Yeah, I love that. Absolutely love that. Because I mean, it all really, really helps with manifesting as well, doesn't it? Because it's putting us on that, that high vibrational state that will mean that we're in alignment with our goals and our desires. What is the, the— your most favorite thing that you've ever manifested?

I would say, I mean, the proudest moment probably the book, like when the book came out. And I put on, um, I'd put on the, my vision board that I was going to be number 1 on Amazon. Okay, so I was like, right. And I, the book came out on the 1st, no, sorry, the pre-order came out on the 1st of September last year. And I was sat just doing my makeup and everybody had been sending me messages and stuff saying, oh, I bought the book, I bought the book. And I thought, I just had this pull, go on Amazon and go look on it. Just, just at that moment, it was so random.. And I logged on to Amazon at that time and I was number 1 on the new releases on the hot— I think it was called the hot releases or something. And because I'd increased, I'd gone from like, I don't know, number 650,000 in the list to number 1. So the percentage was huge that day and it just said number 1 Amazon. And I was like, oh my— so I took every screenshot I could on my laptop, on my phone, like, and I was like, wow, this feels such a, such an amazing moment for me. And obviously my redundancy, I'm going to say that that was such a powerful, you know, manifestation for me because it led to here I am now. Yeah. But yeah, lots of things in the past I've really been able to manifest chunks of money. Although, so funny, I said to everybody on Instagram, I am going to win the Omaze house. And I mocked up an email to say, you are the Omaze winner. So this was the email that I'd mocked up.. And then I got an email to say, you are the Omaze winner. And it was for a £45 gift card. And I was like, I'm still going to take it. Thank you, universe.

You just weren't specific enough, but you still won. Yeah, it's weird because all over on TikTok at the moment, I'm seeing video after video of— I think it's because I've liked one and the algorithm says, oh, you like that? Here's some more. But it's basically about how to win the lottery. And I think I liked or commented on one of them. And since then, all I got on TikTok now is videos of how to manifest winning the lottery. So one day I set aside about half an hour and I watched like 10 of these videos back to back. I did a little meditation, went and bought a lottery ticket, because it's not about— apparently it's not about, um, making sure that those numbers are the winning numbers. It's about quantum jumping into that future where those numbers are the winning numbers, if that makes sense. Um, so basically I did this thing, and the first time I got got 2 numbers and the lucky star or whatever it's called on the EuroMillions. And I was like, oh, I've won something. I went on, it was £6.40. But I was like, but I will take it because I still won. So I went and I bought a second lottery ticket and I won again. But I won a free— it's like a lucky dip, I think. But I was like, at the end of the day, I've won twice. I just haven't been specific enough. Do you know what I mean? So yeah, keep on trying that Omaze because honestly, some of them houses are absolutely beautiful as well, aren't they?

Like, I'd already envisioned myself in the Yorkshire I was like, it's fine, we'll move on to the Norfolk house. And now it's the Devon house. We'll keep going.

I'm going on a bit of a house manifestation at the moment. So back in January, I spoke about this on the pod before, but back in January, me and my partner actually went to this really, really nice place in Newcastle where like footballers live and stuff. And none of the houses were for sale on this beautiful estate and couldn't find the prices of them online for love nor money. So I set an alert on Rightmove, uh, with the postcode in, and I took a photo and I went, that one is my dream house. There was about 50 across this whole estate. And a few Fridays ago, I was laying in bed and I got a notification on my phone to say that a house had come up available. And I was like, oh, we'll see what the prices are. And I clicked on it. It's the house off my vision board. It is that house. So it's £799,950, so £800 grand. I was like, even if I put a 10% deposit down the monthly payments are like £4,700 a month. And I'm like, okay, so obviously it's a bit of a setback, do you know what I mean? A bit of a blow, because I didn't think it was going to be that expensive. But I'm arranging a viewing because you better believe I'm going to be laying in that bath taking photos of myself. I want to be in that kitchen with a frying pan pretending to be cooking, and I'm going to whack them all on my vision board. And this time next year, I'm going to be in that house.

Yeah, 100%. What will happen is somebody will buy it now and then they will, I don't know, move or something will happen and then it will become available for you. And that's when you're in that position to be able to like, yeah, £4,000 a month, that's great. That's just like perfect for me. Yeah, it's not, but yeah, it will be next year. Next year it'll be like, oh my God, just a change.

So where do you see yourself in 5 years' time then, Victoria? What are your long-term goals and dreams for the future?

I think I would just like to kind of be that person that people come to for a real kind of beginner's, like, opening stage of manifestation. And if that means kind of me doing talks, or, you know, I'd love to one day be at the Happy Festival. I went this just this weekend up at Tatton Park, and, you know, that's kind of on my vision board. Or if my book could be there, or, you know, just kind of be the go-to person for beginners in manifestation. And I kind of went through a journey this year of where I was almost like deciding, do I become a little bit more higher priced? And, you know, as a coach, and, you know, I've obviously got the book and I've got lots of experience and I've worked so many testimonials. But my soul, again, coming back to those soul goals, was saying, no, your mission is to help the masses. So instead of creating something that's like, I don't know, a £5,000 package let's look at how we can create something for £55 and help people, a lot of people, and create a ripple effect then out into the universe, which then just serves everybody. So yeah, that's where I'm kind of at now and that's what I would hope for the future.

Amazing. So just before we go, like, how can people find you? What services do you offer on your website?

So it's really simple. We have the Collective membership, which is a monthly membership, £30. And then you can upgrade and then you get one-on-one coaching with me. So that's the only two things that I have. But my energy really suits like really sporadic little launches. So throughout the year, I'll just, I've just launched a Month of Magic in Business. That's a month together working with me for, I think we've got like 90 people inside now, which is amazing. But everybody can find me at The Manifestation Collective. So no matter what, where it is, podcast, Instagram, website, that's where The Manifestation Collective will be.

Amazing. And what I'll do, Victoria, is I'll pop all of your links in the show notes as well so that all the listeners can find it. But I just want to say thank you so much for coming on the show. Like I said, it's so nice to hear a northern voice and just to see such a smiley face in you. I've really enjoyed our chat.

Oh, I've loved it. Thank you so much for having me.

You're very, very welcome. And for everyone else, like I say, Victoria's links are in the show notes. Go and give her a follow, go and visit her website. And if you've enjoyed this episode, please don't forget to rate, review, or subscribe. I really would appreciate it, and I will see you all next Friday for another episode.
