My friends (who are dog people) have feeds filled with.. you guessed it…cute puppies. After years of building a following on social media, it can be discouraging to learn that these platforms are algorithm based, not follower based.

ENCORE: Manifest Your Wildest Dreams
You can manifest your wildest dreams even in your everyday life. What makes manifestation real is your ability and willingness to believe. You need to believe and visualize what you want to bring it into your conscious awareness. -Miriam Schulman What we're exploring in this episode: How you sabotage yourself when you're not willing to believe When you get clear with what you want, you'll be able to call it into your conscious awareness. How to open your mind to recognize when what you want comes your way[Text Wrapping Break] We block our ability to manifest through a lack of belief. We don't believe in ourselves. We don't believe what's really possible. We stand so firm on the very beliefs we should be questioning and end up undermining our own success. The universe will bring you things when you get clear about what you want and the opportunities you're looking for. You need positive belief and an open mind to recognize it when it comes your way.
