Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Connie Crystals the podcast. I hope that everyone is good and well. Um, I find it absolutely wild that this, this that you're listening to right now is episode 199. 199! This is almost 4 years since I first started recording these, and what started out as a little hobby to help people learn about crystals and manifestation, it's actually turned into this crazy roller coaster that we're all on about mindset, manifestation, and spirituality. So firstly, thank you for being here. Big shout out if you've been here since day one especially, or even if you've just recently started listening and you're currently working your way back through all rambling. I appreciate you all so, so much for being here. And if you haven't already, please go and leave me a rating or a review wherever you listen to this pod from. You don't need to sign up for anything, takes you about 10 seconds to do, really helps me out. Just head to the podcast page on the streaming service that you're on and just rate it. I would recommend 5 stars, but that's me. It's totally up to you. Rate it 1 star if you want. The ratings all help. The more ratings that this podcast has, the better it performs, the better the guests I get on for you lot, basically. Okay. And it's mad when I think back as well about how Kanni Crystals itself as a brand is now, what, 4 and a half years old? I feel like the years have just flown by. Obviously over the years I've had lots of ups, I've also had a few downs as well along the way because what's a roller coaster ride without those dips? But never in my life, right, have I had to deal with a crackpot that is trying to destroy my business like this one woman is. I mean, I'm calling her a woman, she might even be a man, who knows? I don't know anything about her at all. So if you've been following the drama over the last few weeks over on my Instagram story, you'll already know this, but I feel like I need to share this story more widely on here as well, just to keep you all in the loop with the level of cray cray that I've been putting up with, and with all the updates of the last week as well. But also to raise awareness just in case this crazy cow orders from any of you lot with small businesses as well. So let's get you right into this story. So let me take you back to the summer of 2024. We're talking 12 months ago, I received an order as usual for a carnelian keyring bought by someone called Sonam Ahmed. Nothing unusual there, apart from a week later, this Sonam, she decides to email me to tell me that the keyring that she received is rusted. So I asked her to send over a photo because when I looked at the order details, I was the one that packaged it up and I was the one that sent it out to her. And I remember at the time thinking like, oh my God, how have I not noticed all of this rust on this keyring before I sent it out? Because I'm quite anal about stuff like this. And when we receive crystals from the mines and we get this huge delivery in, usually get about 300 to 400 kilos sent all at once, so there's a lot. But when I unpack them, I'm always checking for little nicks, little cracks, that kind of thing, just in case anything's been damaged in the delivery. So I just thought, you know, silly me, I can't believe I've done that. Anyway, I get this photo of the key ring, right? And the chain is practically brown, you know, like actual rust. I couldn't believe it, so I just told her to keep that and I will send her a fresh one in the post. I thought, I'm not even going to bother to get her to send it back, it's pointless. So I'm in me office checking all of me stock, going through hundreds of keyrings, every single one of them sparkling silver, not a fleck of rust on them. And I was like, okay, maybe it's just a one-off. So I package her up a new keyring. I even send her a carnelian tumblestone as well to apologize. And off it goes down to her address. A few days later, I get another email from her to say that this new key ring arrived all right, but within a day it's gone brown again. So I was immediately thinking, like, what is she doing with these key rings? Is she submerging them in acid overnight or what? So I ask for a photo again. She sends another photo, different key ring. I pay for a returns label so she can ship it back to us just so I can examine it, because I'm thinking, what is going on? We've had no other complaints. We sell these like every single day, what the hell is happening here? So when I received, um, this keyring back a couple of days later, I quickly realized that these two keyrings that she sent me photos of and the one that she's returned, they are not our keyrings. So the keychain loop, you know, the silver bit that attaches to your keys, that was totally different. And the chain bit that links that to the crystal, that was different as well. So I'd basically sent her two new carnelian keyrings so that she could send me her shitty old ones back. First red flag. And I thought, okay, I'm going to keep an eye on her, and if she orders again, I'm going to have to say something. Sure enough, later that week she orders 3 different keyrings. Can't remember what they were, it was like green aventurine, uh, citrine, and clear quartz, for example. And I saw her name pop up and I immediately cancelled her order. I was totally shying away from having that awkward conversation of telling her that I won't be serving her or I won't be fulfilling any more of her orders So I just cancelled it and I sent her the notification that her order had been cancelled. She then proceeded to place it again, so I cancelled again, and she placed the same order a third time but under a new name of Sarah Ahmed. It was the same delivery details, same debit card used, same phone number. So I just thought, I'm gonna drop her an email here because I'm sick of this now, and I just said, unfortunately, I'm not serving you. I didn't really go into it because I hate confrontation, and I just left it at that. And the communication went silent. She got the message, or so I thought. A week later, I'm packing orders in me office and I get an email from Mushtaq Ahmed now saying that she had ordered twice off me within the last few days. The first was a Wealthball bundle and the second was some moldavite on two separate orders. Okay, so she's ordered twice now under another name. I hadn't clicked. She said that Evri had delivered the moldavite to the wrong address and she was demanding an instant full refund on it immediately. And she also said that she'd received the wealth bowl but it only had one crystal in out of the four, which was the tiger's eye. Shock horror, it was the cheapest of the four crystals that she'd ordered, right? So luckily for me, I have a CCTV camera right above my packing desk in my office just so I can stop any confusion with what's been packed, what hasn't been packed, that kind of thing. So I watched the footage back and I clearly saw that I also put pyrite, citrine, and jade in that bowl. Now me being blonde, I didn't click that this was the same woman as the carnelian keyrings, so I asked her to send over an image of what she had received, and she sent me a picture of a torn up box, and I mean this box was absolutely battered, it looked like it had been to Timbuktu and back, and she said the box was all open at one end, the crystals must have fallen out in transit. Apart from, I can log on to our Mail-in Tracker and I can physically see with my own two eyes the box at her front door in perfect condition. So I know straight away she's lying to me about the box being damaged. And I think that's when I kind of put two and two together and I was like, this is that same woman. I could also see this same doll with the box containing the moldavite hanging from her letterbox. So I go back to her, I sent pictures of these two parcels at her front door. She denies it's her doll. So I thought, right, I'm gonna catch her out. So I asked her to confirm her address. She sent me back her address, which is the exact address that I delivered to. I then put that address into Google Maps, and guess what? Just like magic, it's the exact same front door on Google Maps that it is on the tracking photo of both deliveries. So I then make the connection. This is the same address as the one that Sarah Ahmed and Sonam Ahmed have both used. So I'm thinking to myself, am I living in the Twilight Zone, or are these sister scammers, or are they all the same fucking person? So I went back and forth with Evri about it, thinking like, what can I do? I went back and forth with Shopify, can they help? And guess what? She launched a claim with her bank to get her full £75 back. Shopify then whacked a £20 admin fee on my account for having to look into it because the bank had contacted them. So I'm down immediately £95 from my account on hold. I'm also down an expensive piece of moldavite a wealth ball, and 2 lots of postage. So I got in touch with Shopify and they blocked her from making any more accounts with my shop. Finally, I'm free, I thought. Or was I? My God. So a few days later, Miriam Ahmed now places an order for a pyrite tower. However, this is a different address, it's a different phone number, it's now in Birmingham instead of London, and I think, yeah, you know what, this is a genuine order. Ahmed is quite a popular name. I can't tar all of my customers with one brush just because I'm almost getting scammed by this one woman. So I sent out this pyrite tower. 3 days later, Sonam Ahmed contacts me again because she's ordered a pyrite tower to her parents' house in Birmingham and it's arrived chipped and she now wants a refund. So I asked her for a photo of the damage so I can raise this with every— nothing. Tumbleweeds, in fact. I then get another bank claim on my Shopify, so I'm now down an additional £15 for the tower and a £20 admin fee for that as well, and she's got me, Pyrite Tower. So that's kind of the 2024 section of the story over, okay. I remember sending her quite a snotty email back then telling her that if she ever ordered from me again under any name, I'll be in touch with the police to deal with this because ultimately it's fraud. So all is well in the Canny Crystals kingdom, or should I say it was until about 4 weeks ago. Someone placed an order in Birmingham for my largest piece of moldavite, so it was over £150 because of its weight and its size. So I sent it out, the package goes missing despite Evri telling us it's been delivered. So I contact Evri and their courier didn't take a photo, so now we've got no proof that this has been delivered. So now we have to give this customer the benefit of the doubt apologize and send out a replacement, and I'm now down a huge expensive piece of moldavite worth £150 as well. And just for the record, I make pennies selling moldavite. I keep it cheap in the hope that people come onto the website for it and they buy other things alongside of it, so it's kind of my way to get people onto the website. So then this same person places another order a few days later for my next size down still around £150, and I realize her email is sunamfuckingahmed. However, she's now ordering under the new name of Alisha Khan. It's a new address, it's a new phone number, but that same email address as those initial orders last year. So I immediately think, shit, it's her, it's happening again, and I cancelled her order. So I contacted Shopify, who to be honest were about as much help as a chocolate teapot and they said if she's creating these new accounts, they can only block these accounts once she's actually placed that order because they're not psychic, they don't know what name or address she's going to use in the future. Fair point. So minutes after I cancel that order for that specific piece of moldavite, another order comes in for it under a new name and a new email address. So I cancel that, and then another, and another, and another. I was literally no sooner canceling these orders and restocking it on the website for sale that she was going on and creating a new account and buying it again under a new name and contact details. Honestly, now when someone purchases on my website, it tells me data like how many times they have visited the website that day, uh, how many times they've visited the website before in the past, what the first page was that they viewed on the website, how they access the website, what device they're using, all that gold stuff. And it came in handy because every single one of these orders was coming direct from WhatsApp, so they were clicking a link via WhatsApp and coming onto my website. They were all first-time viewers of the website, so they'd never visited the website before, and they were all going direct to that moldavite page. So she was clearly sending it to her friends and family to buy on her behalf, and I was canceling orders left, right, and center, and it was driving me up the wall. This went on for about 9 hours one day. At one point, it said that my Shopify balance was over minus £3,000 from all the refunds. Minus £3,000. She had made, get this, 21 orders under 21 different accounts. 21, that's a 2 and a 1. 21, I can't get over it. Every time I was cancelling these orders though, these people were emailing me one by one asking why their order had been cancelled. And funnily, they all wrote exactly the same kind of thing with the same spelling errors, you know, using the letter U instead of the word you in 'why you cancel?' followed by lots of question marks, for example. So I knew, I knew it was all her, and I sent every single one of those 21 email addresses a copy and paste email from Shopify to state that unfortunately this order's been cancelled because we have reason to believe that these orders are all in conjunction with and have all been ordered on behalf of a serial fraudster named Sonam Ahmed. So I sent off these 21 emails thinking, there we go, that's the end of it. I then get one single response. And guess who it's from? It's from the final boss herself, Sonam Ahmed. Funny that, isn't it? Because I never actually sent the email to her directly. So it just proved that these people were all her friends or family ordering on her behalf because it got back to her. So the 5 emails I got from Sonam in the space of 2 minutes were quite comical. And cover your children's ears if they are around you listening to this right now, but one just called me an absolute cunt. One said something like, "Fuck you, cunt, who you calling scammer?" Another one threatened that she would put a post on Facebook, and I thought, "You know what, do that, hun, but make sure you tag us as well because I'll be sure to repost it." And that was that. Scammer called out. The end of the drama. I'm off to pack me bag because I'm heading to Northern Ireland for a week of peace while me friend Nikki packs orders for me in my absence in my office. But did I get peace? Did I? Hell, 2 days into my time away in Northern Ireland, someone with another name orders this exact piece of moldavite again. And I thought, oh my God, surely that's not her trying again after she's called me every name under the sun. The address is in London, it's a new phone number, a new email. However, this person has visited the website twice that day from Google. Fab, I thought nothing of it, this is a genuine customer. So the second, and I mean the second, Evri had collected from my office that morning, this person would have got an email from Evri to say your parcel's been collected. And guess what? Less than 1 minute later, this person emails me to cancel her order completely. So now Evri have this Moldavite, they're driving off around Newcastle with it in their van, I'm in Northern Ireland helpless, and so I had to ring my friend Nikki back in Newcastle, who went and hunted this van down, and luckily the EveryGuy gave her our package back. Scammer zero, Mart one. So I think, hmm, should I refund her, or should I teach her a lesson and maybe just even send her an empty box? Maybe I should just play her at her own game. So as of today, I still have her money. I do feel a bit bad about it, but she has sent 16 emails requesting the refund and I'm just waiting on Shopify to try and claw it back out of me account. But that is worth the £20 admin fee that I'm going to get just holding on to it for as long as possible, just to inconvenience her as much as she's inconvenienced me. And that's the end of that story. But how crazy is that? So if you have a small business selling crystals or jewelry or anything like that, and this person has tried to order from you, just be very, very careful because she won't be ordering from me again, that's for sure. And breathe, rant over. That could have been an off topic, couldn't it? I didn't have to put that in the main pod, but hey, it is what it is. Welcome to my freaking crazy life. Anyway, let's breathe, let's get on with today's episode, because today, as this episode comes out, is the 8th of August, meaning it is the peak of the Lion's Gate portal today. 8/8, it is Leo season, bitches. Now, if you're already feeling a little bit fiery, a bit extra, or like you could absolutely strut down the high street in a full-length glitter cape and sunglasses at night, that's the Lion's Gate energy working its magic. So this portal isn't just another woo-woo buzzword— it's been around for years. It is a powerful energetic alignment where the Earth, Sirius, which is our spiritual sun, and Orion's Belt all line up with the galactic center. So it creates a bit of a cosmic gateway for high-frequency energy to pour in. So it's kind of like a big cosmic yes to manifesting your desires, but also to owning your power and stepping into that spotlight like the fierce lion that you are, or at least the fierce lion that your higher self knows that you can be. So for today's episode, I'm going to basically get into what the Lion's Gate actually is, how to work with it, and how to use this powerful moment to get ridiculously aligned with what you want. Because this is going to be one of the most powerful days for manifestation this year. So whether you've been manifesting for years or maybe you're just starting to explore this side of spirituality, trust us, you'll want to ride this energy wave. Okay, so let's break it down because I know some of you will probably be thinking already, Mart, what actually is the Lion's Gate portal? Is it like a real gate? Do I need a key? Is there a lion involved? Not quite. Okay, so the Lion's Gate portal is this huge cosmic event, like I say, It happens every single year between the 26th of July and the 12th of August. But today, the 8th of the 8th is the peak, okay? And the number 8, when we put the number 8 sideways, that is the number of infinity and abundance, yeah? It's like that sign of eternity, basically. So 8/8 is the peak. This is the big one. It's the main event. It's the finale. It's the fireworks moment. It's like when your playlist hits your favorite song and you just turn the volume all the way up. That's what today is energetically. But even if you're listening to this like up to the 12th of August, don't worry, you can still do this work, okay? So let's talk about the numerology first, because like I say, the date 8/8 is no accident. The number 8 in numerology is the number of infinite potential, power, prosperity, manifestation, higher consciousness. But like I say, once you flip it sideways, it's literally the infinity symbol, meaning unlimited energy, infinite flow, endless possibilities. But when you double that up on the 8th of the 8th, it's like the universe is shouting, dream bigger, I am listening, I'm all ears. Okay, so there is more than just numbers going on here though, because like I say, astrologically something major is happening up there as well. During this window, we get this rare alignment between the Earth, the star Sirius, and Orion's Belt. They line up perfectly with the Pyramids of Giza. And no, this isn't just some TikTok conspiracy that I've just watched. The ancient Egyptians actually honored Sirius, or what they call the spiritual sun, as a symbol of rebirth, spiritual wisdom, and divine communication. So Sirius rises and becomes visible in the sky around this time, and its light was seen as sacred, which is a sign of ascension, enlightenment, and abundance. So in spiritual terms, we are basically getting beamed with pure high vibe energy. The veils are a lot thinner as well during this time, so your connection to your intuition is going to be stronger, and your manifestations are going to be almost like they're on steroids. They are going to be supercharged. Now, why is it called Lion's Gate? Because this is all happening in Leo season. Leo season is the most confident, fiery, heart-led sign of the zodiac. Leo energy is bold, It doesn't sit quietly in the back row. Leo is literally strutting down that catwalk, okay? It's saying, 'I was born to shine,' and honestly, so were you. So Leo is ruled by the Sun, which governs our identity, vitality, and our heart space as well. So this whole portal is like a solar-powered boost to your inner radiance. So it's about remembering who the hell you are, but it's also about owning your power aligning with the version of you who doesn't dim their light to make other people feel more comfortable, okay? So it's not about hustle or forcing things, it's about alignment, authenticity, and activating your soul's true potential. So imagine the universe flinging those doors open and saying, right, what do you want? Let's make it happen. So you don't need to climb a literal pyramid or open a hidden gate in the desert or anything like that, but energetically, this is one of the most potent moments of the entire year, so all of 2025, to set intentions, connect to your higher self, and to magnetize your manifestations coming in. So it's the kind of energy that says you weren't born to play small, you were born to roar, literally like a lion. And today on 8/8, that roar is loud, okay? We need to buckle up. But you might be wondering, like, yeah, this is cool, but why do I feel like I'm on a bit of an emotional roller coaster? Why am I crying into me tea one minute and planning world domination the next? Welcome to Lionsgate energy. It's a vibe. It's not always a gentle one, okay? And we've also got a full moon as well, and this full moon is going to just intensify all of this because the full moon lands tonight as well. So, you know, when this much high frequency energy floods in, it's going to really shake up anything that's been stagnant or hidden beneath the surface. So think of it like shaking a bottle of fizzy pop. If you don't release that pressure, it's eventually going to blow the lid off itself. This portal is all about energetic activation, and sometimes that just means that things need to come up and get out of your system before you can actually level up. So I want to start with the spiritual effects, because during this time your intuition might be on fire. You might get random downloads of insight, You know those ping moments where suddenly everything clicks and you just know what to do with life? Maybe you've had weird dreams lately, or maybe you've seen like angel numbers left, right, and center this last few days. Maybe you suddenly realize that someone or something in your life just isn't aligned with you anymore. That is Lion's Gate. It is helping you shed the old so that you can make space for the new. When there's a full moon, it's all about culmination of release, so it's all about like getting rid of what no longer serves you. So it all ties in perfectly with 8:8, this Lionsgate portal. So energetically, it's like your soul is upgrading its software, but you are still operating on last year's version of you. So you're going to get glitches, you're going to get emotional wobbles, you're going to be thinking like, "Who even am I anymore?" That's totally normal, it's totally fine. But that brings us to the emotional stuff. You might feel more sensitive than usual right now. You might even feel a bit more irritable than usual right now. You might even feel incredibly inspired one minute and then totally flat out the next. It is all part of the clearing. Your emotions are like messengers right now, you know. They are showing you what still needs healing, what has been buried, and what is no longer a match for who you're becoming. So I don't want you to be afraid of this. I want you to let these feelings and these emotions actually move through you. So if you need to cry, cry. If you need to like absolutely let go of rage, you know, Smash a pillow up or something like that. Don't smash your house up, just punch a pillow or something. Laugh like a maniac at a video that you've seen online. It's all part of the process. Now, physically, your body might be picking up on this shift as well, so you might be feeling tired, achy, restless, wired, or maybe even like you've just run a marathon in your sleep. And that is because your nervous system is processing a lot right now, and I mean a lot. Even if you're not consciously working with the portal, your body can still feel it. Energy is subtle, but it is also powerful. So if you've been needing a bit more sleep or more hydration or even just some quiet time away from people, just listen to that, because rest is not resistance, it is integration. And the good news is, the more that you allow these feelings to come up without resisting them or judging them, the faster they move through your body. So this isn't about forcing yourself to be high vibe all the time. It's just about being real, being present, and being open to the idea that all of this, you know, the emotions, the tiredness, the intuitive nudges, the sudden breakthroughs, that is just your system clearing the way for the next version of you to step in. Because this energy is here to support your evolution. It's not working against you, it's working through you. So if you've been feeling weird lately, you're not alone, you're not broken, you're just becoming. So let's talk about the path that actually puts you back in the driver's seat, because you can totally let this energy just wash over you. It can throw you about like an emotional tumble dryer, and you can just hope for the best if you really wanted to. Or you can harness it with intention. You can work with it instead of just riding it out with your head in a bag of crisps going, "Why am I like this? Oh." But here's how to do that exactly. Okay, so first things first, clarity. This is the time this year to get clear on what you actually want. The universe is listening, the portal is open, that cosmic inbox is just waiting for your manifestation memo. So sit down with a notebook and ask yourself, what do I truly want in life right now? What version of me am I ready to step into? And what have I been afraid to admit that I want? And don't filter yourself, don't downplay it, because the Lion's Gate is about expansion, not shrinking yourself to make yourself smaller just to conform with other people. It wants you to expand, so let it be big, let it be bold, let it be heart-led, and let it be true to who you are as well. Next is to make it tangible. So once you've got clarity, write it out, speak it out, make yourself a vision board, record a voice note of you talking as if it's already happened. Whatever works for you. Just make it real. The more senses that you engage, the more energy that you give it, and you're not just like thinking about it anymore, you're activating it. Next, let's talk practices as well, because there are loads of beautiful ways to work with this portal, but here are a few that are super accessible and powerful. So obviously the first is meditation or visualization. So even just 5 minutes today sitting in silence, Imagining your higher self, how your life looks in like 6 months' time, that next level version of you already living that life. How do they walk? How do they speak? What energy do they hold? Try to embody that feeling right now. The next is journaling. So grab your pen, write as if it's already done. I'm so grateful now that... That is your best friend right now. Gratitude is a manifesting magnet, so use it. Another thing that you can do is use crystals. So, you know, if you're into crystals, this is a great time to lean on them. Anything that supports clarity, courage, confidence, or manifestation is your go-to. So for me, I would be thinking immediately pyrite, citrine, sunstone, carnelian, tiger's eye, clear quartz— whatever you've got, place them on your bedside table, carry them with you, put them on your desk, meditate with them. Just let them amplify your energy. You might also want to burn some sage, some palo santo, or maybe even just some incense, especially if the emotions have been feeling quite heavy lately as well. You could also take a salt bath to clear that stagnant energy, or even just stand in the shower and just imagine everything you're releasing being washed down the drain. So it's coming off your body, it's swirling around the drain, and it's going down the plug hole. And this portal, it loves bold declarations as well, so You don't want to be saying, "I wish." You want to be saying, "I am." So, "I am ready to receive everything that is meant for me." "I am magnetic to my desires." "I am walking boldly into my next chapter." Okay, repeat them, feel them, speak them out loud with conviction like Beyoncé would if she was manifesting her next tour. And then finally, take aligned action. You don't have to figure it all out today, but just take one tiny step that your future self would thank you for. So that might be sending an email, it might be applying for a specific thing, it might be setting a boundary, or even just saying no to something that drains you. Because action is the bridge between your energy and your reality. Working with the Lion's Gate, it is not about perfection, it's about presence. I've been saying this a lot lately in my meditation and mindfulness course, you know, it's not about perfection, it's about presence. So it's about saying, I'm open, I'm willing, and I'm showing up for what I actually want in life. And that energy, that openness, it speaks louder to the universe than any vision board or ritual ever could. This portal isn't just about turning your manifestation dial up to 100, it's also about clearing the energetic clutter that is blocking that signal for you. So let's talk about what needs to go and what you need to invite in instead, because this right here, today, the 8th of August, it's arguably the most powerful day of the entire year to manifest your desires. Not because of some fluffy TikTok trend, but because the combination of astrological alignment, numerological energy, and Leo's heart-led fire— it creates the perfect storm of support. So it's a rare window where the cosmic conditions are saying, you're aligned, you're powerful, you're ready, now show me what you want. And to really step into that energy, you've got to make space. So start by asking yourself, what am I done carrying into the next season of my life? What beliefs or patterns or situations have expired? What fears are taking up space where my desires actually should be? So maybe it's self-doubt that's been whispering, "Who are you to want any more in your life? You've got enough." Maybe it's people pleasing that's keeping you small. Maybe it's a scarcity mindset thinking there's not enough for you or that you're not enough for it. Whatever it is, you get to choose to let it go now. Someone recently said to me, um, the universe isn't on a budget, and I have wrote that down on so many sticky notes. I've got one in my bathroom cabinet, I've got one in my car on the dashboard, I've got one in my office, I've got one in the office toilet on the mirror. Seriously, like, I love that quote. The universe isn't on a budget. You can have whatever you want in life. You just have to get clear about it. So whatever it is, you can let go of what is no longer serving you. You can write it down. You can burn it safely if you really wanted to. You can visualize it dissolving in light. You can just speak it out loud. You can say, "I release this now. I choose differently." Because when you release something, you create a vacuum and you create space, and space is where the universe delivers. How is the universe supposed to deliver this package to you if it's got no space for it to land? Okay, so let's talk about what to call in, because this is where you switch from that fear mode to creator mode. So you want to call in the version of you who says yes to their desires, the version who trusts that they don't need to have it all figured out to take the next step, the version who believes that deep down they are worthy of every single thing that they desire. And remember, this isn't just about having stuff. This is about energy, identity, and alignment. So you could call in courage to make bold moves. You could call in confidence to be seen fully. You could call in joy that just doesn't need permission to show up in your life. You could call in, uh, overflow in every area of your life. So not just money, but love, ideas, creativity, support, You could call in a life that feels more like freedom, not just functionality, and feel it as if it's already yours. Because on this day, 8/8, the veil is thinner, your frequency is higher, and your power to create and attract is supercharged. I mean, I'm going to be working with my moldavite ring on, my moldavite necklace, and my moldavite piece in my pocket all day. I'm going to be manifesting the shit out of Lion's Gate, okay? But you are not begging the universe, you're just meeting it halfway. This isn't about wishful thinking, this is about intentional co-creation. It's about saying, I know what I want, I'm ready to receive it, and I trust myself to hold it. So whether you've been manifesting for months, like I said, or you're just tuning in to this whole energy thing today, please just trust this: today is the reset, today is the portal, it's your green light. You don't need to be perfect, you just need to be present. Okay, and with that, go write it down, speak it out, and watch what unfolds for you over the next few days.

Hello, American podcast listeners. Max Rushton here from The Guardian Football Weekly, which I think you should give a listen. It is good. It comes out 3 times a week, and the podcast delivers you analysis, news, both the good and the bad from the beautiful game, and maybe even the occasional laugh. He's angry about everything. He doesn't have a great poker face, does he?

I would like to play cards with Bruno Fernandes.

You can listen to The Guardian Football Weekly wherever you get your podcasts. Hopefully see you soon.
