Vision casting

I’ll just start this by saying that I used to think making a vision board, writing out my goals and dream life, saying affirmations and manifesting were all a bit “woo woo”…

Well, turns out I am extremely “woo woo” because I LOVE THIS SHIT!

The beginning of 2024 I decided to invest in a business coach. She seemed to have a successful business, works with amazing clients and is mama to two boys. From what she shared on social media and from the vibes I felt, her life was actually one I admired and was working toward already. So, I went all in. Invested in a 6-month mastermind. Never looked back.

And it was the best thing I could have done for my mindset, my business and my clients.

The first thing she had us think of was a Word Of The Year. I chose ABUNDANCE. When I initially chose that word, I meant it to represent an abundance of time with my family, an abundance of high vibrational clients, an abundance of income so I can leave my day job confidently, an abundance of good food because with two little ones at home I was not eating up to my own standards (iykyk)…and so on. Halfway into the mastermind, through working on my mindset and being able to talk through things with an incredible coach and other personal brand photographers, I learned I already was living in abundance. I have a career that gives my family health insurance and financial stability while allowing me to invest and grow my business. I already have systems in place so I can be the present mama I love to be to my boys and be able to see all the little moments of them growing. I have a supportive husband who gets quality time with our boys while I go to a photoshoot. This mindset truly changed the game and had me appreciating my current situation even though I didn’t want it to be my permanent situation.

Mindset work, check.

Next, she had us create a vision board. Pretty self-explanatory but I still didn’t want to do it. BUT I told myself I was going to go all in, in this mastermind. Have an open mind and see what happens. Turns out I actually had a blast. It was such a creative experience. I was super clear on what I wanted to achieve and experience for my year.

Have an open mind, check.

Finally, she had us listen to a guided meditation where we were living our dream life. Feeling the feelings of waking up in the morning and going about our day. During this I had such a clear vision, I became emotional, and I knew this was going to lead to big things. After the guided meditation is when I took pen to paper and wrote down my exact goals for the year and for the next 3 years. Most people think of a 5-year plan but being a mama to little ones I felt it was best to move a little slower as I’m learning the seasons of life flowing can bring out new goals and desires.

Goal setting, check.

Now that we’re in 2025, I look back at the previous year and am a little in awe of what I did. I accomplished so much. I worked with brilliant business women that inspire me daily, held my first network event for female business owners, launched my Brand Therapy program that helps women gain confidence to show up online, connected clients with each other, added incredible value to each of my offers and all while continuing to be a present mama to my boys.

So, this year, I’m going into the new year bursting with excitement to do all the ‘woo woo’ things again. Because if I took away anything from last year, it was learning that mindset is everything.

I’ll be writing my goals and desires being as specific as possible and channeling the feelings of already living like I achieved them.

I’m a part of a 30-day manifestation challenge and haven’t missed a day yet… I know we’re only 6 days into the year but I’m still giving myself some credit because why not!

I have a day and time in my calendar when I’ll be sitting down to create my vision board with a cup of coffee and most likely my children wrestling in the background.

I know it’s cold and dreary this time of the year, so my personal life is slow and cozy. Just how I like it. But the Biz Baddie in me is ready to start out strong!

So if you are too and need a place to start, start with this…

Finish this sentence:

“Wouldn’t it be cool if…” -brain dump. Go wild. Don’t hold back. Put pen to paper to make it real and just let your hand flow. No one has to read it but you.

Dream big babe. This is your life. It can be whatever you want it to be. It may take time but the universe is on your side. You just have to let her know what you’re willing to accept into your life.

Manifesting is all about having an open mind and seeing the opportunities that present themselves. Then going for it. When you have clarity on what you want to achieve, the rest is just noise. You won’t be distracted. You’ll be focused. You’ll be determined.

Go for it.
