Welcome to the light work series. Light work is the process of tuning your energy, your vibration, your frequency to your desires. Specifically, tuning your frequencies to the vibration of already having them, right now, in this reality. Three common mistakes, a personal story about the house on the Truckee River, and a homework assignment for you. Follow along at @withkaje on Instagram.

The closing practice for the Shadow Work series. 18 affirmations to help you welcome, integrate, and release your shadow, done three rounds through at increasing speed. Play it while you do the dishes, walk the dog, or drive to work. Take what resonates and leave the rest. Next episode: Light Work introduction

Janis Vogel is a relationship coach, creator of the Love Method, and a former and current client. She moved sight unseen to California in the middle of a divorce with a three-year-old on her hip, doom scrolling when she found me. This is what happened next...

Four questions from the DMs, answered. Do you have to relive trauma to heal it? Is shadow work supposed to feel bad? What is the actual first step? What do you do when fear of visibility is rooted in shame? DM me "shadow" on Instagram at @womanifester if you want support.

This episode is about the two somatic practices that release what mindset work cannot reach: TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and Breathwork. DM me "start" on Instagram at @womanifester if you want to try either of these practices with me.

Meditation is not optional if you are serious about shadow work and manifestation. After we set the desire, negative thoughts flood in. Meditation is how you catch them. And if you can't catch them, you can't transmute them. This episode ends with a short meditation.  Free resource: Insight Timer app (I also have free meditations on the app) DM me on Instagram at @womanifester if you try the meditation and want to share what comes up.

Key takeaways from Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott, the shadow work book we just finished as a book club inside the Somatic Circle. Not a full book overview. Just the things I think are most essential for you to understand as you are manifesting your desires. One note before we dive in: Existential Kink is not a practice for deep grief, trauma, or depression. That work belongs with a therapist and in somatic containers like breathwork and TRE. This practice is for the situations in your life you just don't like -- a bank account number, a relationship pattern that keeps repeating, a job that isn't working. Here is what we cover: Having is evidence of wanting. If something is in your life that you don't like, there is a subconscious part of you, the shadow, that actually does want it there. This is the central assertion of the whole book, and once it lands, it changes everything. The Universe only knows fulfillment. It is always giving you what you want, but your subconscious runs the show 95-97% of the time. Your conscious mind sees lack. Your subconscious is getting exactly what she wanted. The release. Once you find the part of you that wanted the no-like situation, you honor her, celebrate that she got what she wanted, and flush it. Awareness is the first step. Then you move on. Why you need a loving third party. Your shadows are subconscious by definition, you cannot see them. That is why coaching, therapy, and community are not luxuries. They are the mirror you need. We are in divinity's dream. This reality is not what we think it is. Remembering that takes the pressure off, off taking risks, off betting on yourself, off needing to get it perfect. I also share why I realized I had manifested draining my bank account, what I learned from hearing Alex Hormozi talk about doing the same thing multiple times, and why I no longer use the word "healed."

All you need is a piece of paper and a pen. This episode is a guided practice. I am walking you through my absolute favorite shadow work exercise, Free Form Writing, live. You can follow along right now, or come back to this episode again and again whenever something sticky comes up. I learned this practice from my spiritual mentor, Jen Whalen, and it is the first thing I give every client when their manifestations feel stuck, when the doubt is loud, when nothing seems to be moving. Here is how it works: Get a separate piece of paper. Not your journal. We are going to burn this. For 80% of the time, you let it rip. You write out every fear, every limiting belief, every ugly thought you have been shoving down. "My fear is..." "My anxiety is telling me..." "I'm worried about..." Keep your hand moving the whole time. Your handwriting is linked to your subconscious, things will come up that you did not even know were there. For the last 20%, you switch gears. "The truth is..." You write from the perspective of your most loving grandmother, your highest self, the voice that knows without a doubt that your desires are not only possible but inevitable. Then you burn it. Or rip it as small as you can and throw it away somewhere outside your home. That is it. Free. Accessible. Powerful. This is also what we have been doing inside the Somatic Circle for our 21-day shadow work challenge. If you want to do this work in community, send me a DM on Instagram @womanifester. Have a beautiful and blessed day.

The shadow work portion of the WoManifestation Wheel series continues. In this episode we break down the energetics of the Universe and the exact signs that tell you shadow work is what is blocking your manifestations. Because if nothing is moving, it is not because the universe forgot about you. It is because something in your energy field is contradicting what you are trying to call in. Here is what we cover: Everything is vibrating. Not woo. Science. Your thoughts, your beliefs, your emotions all create your specific frequency. Manifestation is the process of intentionally matching your energy to the vibration of your desires. Like attracts like. That is it. You do not have to stay high vibe 100% of the time. The goal is 51%. That is the tipping point. Three signs you need shadow work: One: you do not believe you can actually have it. Two: you think something bad will happen if you get it. Three: your nervous system does not feel safe holding it. Plus: a story about reclaiming power as a Black woman in America. Shadow work is not about pointing fingers. It is about claiming. And a preview: Next episode, I am sharing my absolute favorite shadow work practice. The one I give every single client. You will not want to miss it. Have a beautiful and blessed day.

The shadow work series begins here. In this episode, I break down what the shadow actually is from three angles: psychology, spirituality, and the manifestation process. Because if you have ever wondered why your affirmations are not working, why visualization feels flat, or why you keep attracting the same patterns, this is likely why. Here is what we cover: What the shadow is NOT. No re-traumatization, no dramatic breakdowns required, and it does not conflict with your faith. In fact, shadow work gets you closer to God (or whatever you call the creator). Carl Jung and the psychological shadow. The repressed parts of self that run your life from the unconscious. As Jung said: "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." The spiritual shadow. Anything that is keeping you from love. Anything that keeps you making decisions from fear instead of love. The manifestation shadow. Every thought, feeling, identity, and nervous system reaction that tells you that you cannot have what you want. This is what makes affirmations feel empty and visualizations feel worthless. Why those who have been told "no" by society often have more shadow work to do, and why that is not a disadvantage. It is your invitation.

It is check-in time for the Wealth Reclamation Project. In this episode, I am pulling back the curtain on my finances, my summer plan, and why I am not restricting my way to abundance. I also do a quick six-month travel recap (Bali, Austin, Tulum, Mallorca, Peru, and back to Truckee), and give you a sneak peek at what shadow work actually is before we dive into it over the next several weeks. Here is what we cover: Real numbers. I share what my business has been making, where my debt stands, and exactly how I am planning to pay it off this summer, including the credit card due July 2026. My summer income plan. Working at a Pub four days a week, TRE classes Saturday mornings at the Alchemy Space, partnering with Zenergy Wellness Studio on Wednesdays, plus the Somatic Circle. What I am NOT doing. No restriction. No obsessing. No shaming. Overflow eliminates debt and that is where my focus lives. A shadow work preview. The next several episodes will go deep on shadow work.

What if the thing frustrating you right now is actually revealing your next-level desire? But in this final episode of the Desire Series, I share a simple manifestation practice that changes everything: Contrast creates clarity. The job where you feel micromanaged? It is showing you that you desire trust, autonomy, and respect. The relationships that leave you feeling unsupported? They are revealing your desire for love, reverence, and mutual encouragement. The financial stress that feels exhausting? It is clarifying your desire to feel well-compensated, abundant, and safe receiving more. Instead of staying stuck in what is not working, this episode will help you gently flip the contrast into a clear, present-tense desire you can begin embodying now. Because perhaps you are not confused at all. Perhaps your desires have been speaking to you through every experience that no longer feels aligned. Inside This Episode: ✨ Why saying “I don’t know what I want” may not actually be true ✨ The simple mindset practice Katie uses to uncover deeper desires ✨ How to transform frustration into manifestation clarity ✨ Why you do not want to keep affirming what is going wrong ✨ How to write desires in the present tense ✨ Why “one day I will have it” may keep your desire feeling far away ✨ How contrast can reveal the timeline you are ready to step into ✨ Katie’s realization about changing her relationship with Instagram ✨ What is coming next in the podcast: shadow work and manifestation A Practice From This Episode Choose one area of your life where something currently feels uncomfortable, limiting, frustrating, or simply no longer aligned. Ask yourself: What specifically does not feel good here? What would the opposite experience feel like? What does this reveal that I truly desire? How can I write that desire as though I am already living it? For example: Instead of:“I hate that I am not paid enough.” Try:“I love that I am generously compensated for my work. I love seeing my paycheck arrive on time. I love how abundant and supported I feel.” Your contrast is not proof that you are stuck.It may be the exact doorway into your clarity.

In this episode of the Womanifester Podcast, we’re diving deeper into the desire series with a juicy question: Who should you actually tell your desires to? Because not everyone deserves front-row access to your dreams. Katie explores why sharing your desires with the wrong people can plant seeds of doubt, even when those people love you and mean well. Sometimes the people closest to us want to “protect” us by keeping us realistic, but realism is not where manifestation magic lives. This episode is all about discerning who can actually hold your vision with you, who might unconsciously shrink it, and how to protect your desires until they are ready to bloom. Katie also expands on the Human Design manifestation piece from the previous episode, specifically the difference between being a specific manifester and a general manifester. She explains how the bottom right arrow in your Human Design chart can offer insight into whether you manifest best through clear details or through the felt sense of what you desire. Inside the episode, Katie also shares a personal full-circle moment from guiding a yoga retreat in Peru, reflecting on a 10-year manifestation that came true and the hilarious realization of what she forgot to include in the original vision. In this episode, we cover: Why you should not share your desires with people who cannot support them How loving people can still unintentionally plant seeds of doubt Who is safe to share your dreams, desires, and manifestations with Why your journal, your creator, your coach, and sacred community can become desire-holding spaces The role of the Somatic Circle as a manifestation and nervous system healing container The difference between specific manifestors and general manifestors in Human Design How specific manifestors can work with clear details, numbers, and specifics How general manifestors can work with feelings, vibes, and energetic alignment Katie’s story of manifesting her Truckee River home The lesson she received from Peru about being clear not only on the dream, but also the money attached to the dream Why clarity is a key part of the manifestation process Links & references mentioned: Free workshop on June 1, 2026 “What the F Do I Want?”https://whatthefdoiwant.subscribepage.io  Somatic Circle Membership Join The Somatic Circle here https://womanifester.com/the-somatic-circle Upcoming free workshops in July, August, and September.  Follow my adventures on Instagram @womanifester ✨ Ready to protect your desires, get clear on what you actually want, and become a magnet for more peace, pleasure, play, purpose, and prosperity?
