What happens when the trendy concept of "manifesting" collides with real-life tragedy? In this vulnerable episode, we start discussing manifesting and end up deep in conversation about grief, caregiving, and finding meaning when life doesn't go as planned.

In this episode, we explore:

- The problem with manifesting coaches who claim "if something negative is happening to you, you're just not manifesting hard enough"

- How easily manifesting can slip into harmful magical thinking, especially during crisis moments

- Sam's experience with prayer and spirituality from her religious background and how it parallels manifesting concept

- Amanda's current struggle with magical thinking as she has navigated her mom’s cancer diagnosis

- The complex reality of being a lifelong caregiver for a disabled family member and the emotional toll it takes

- Finding moments of joy and meaning even in life's darkest times

WE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more! Join us at nuanceneeded.substack.com
