Intro

Feeling like the wheels are coming off your life—or the world?

The Year of the Fire Horse is here, and the old paradigm is dissolving fast. For some, it feels like rock bottom. For others, a slow unraveling. This week, Lacy and Jessica unpack the collective stripping, ego deaths, and visibility fears rising to the surface—and why this acceleration is actually a portal into your most authentic self.

If you’ve been stuck in perfectionism, burned out by optimization culture, or clear on your purpose but unable to move, this episode unpacks what’s happening beneath the surface. Through the lens of TBM tools, human design, Chinese astrology, and nervous system regulation, they explain why hustle, formulas, and “matrix authenticity” won’t carry you into the new paradigm—but why a more aligned, authentic approach will.

This season isn’t about fear. It’s about releasing what no longer fits so something truer can emerge. The real question is: are you ready to stop performing and step into your true purpose?

At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.

Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
 – Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
 – Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
 – Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
 – Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self

With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.
