Welcome to the manifestation bay podcast. My name is Catherine Zinkina and I'm a manifestation expert, mastermindset coach, and multiple seven figure entrepreneur.

I'm obsessed with helping you achieve everything that you once thought was impossible. If you're looking to massively uplevel your life, your finances, your relationships, your productivity and success, then you have come to the right place.

My goal in this podcast is to help you see the infinite potential within yourself to be, do, and have anything that your heart desires.

Think of this podcast as your weekly dose of mindset development to help you maximize who you are and where you're going.

Leave it to me to provide you with tools, the resources, the strategies, and teachings that you need to manifest the reality, while there's any other strength.

I know we're about to have so much fun together, so thank you so much for pushing play today, and now let's begin.

Hello, my beautiful souls and welcome back to the podcast. I'm super excited to have you here. Again, I feel like I need to make this warning just a couple more times.

I'm pregnant and I get out of breath really quickly. So if I sound like I'm literally running a marathon as I'm talking to you, I'm so sorry.

I really hope my audio team can somehow take my breathy voice out of the podcast, but I'm just going to do my best right when I'm going to let this pregnancy stop us from showing up on the podcast and delivering value.

Okay. Okay. All right. This is a topic that's been in my notes section. I have this like fun little note section in my ever note, which by the way, I love this app.

I used to use like the regular notes. I think it's just called notes on the iPhone and for some reason it's not as organized as ever now, and I just love ever note.

I don't know why I just felt like plugging in ever note for some reason. I don't know. We're just going to go with it. But anyway, I've had this topic in my ever note folder for a little while now for about a month and since I'm doing a little podcast marathon weekend.

Of course, you're going to hear these episodes spread out, but I'm recording them all together. I really wanted to finally talk about this and this has to do with a story about my trip to Paris around New Year's Eve.

It was actually for New Year's Eve because fun fact, my wedding anniversary is New Year's Eve. I'm obsessed with New Year's Eve. And obviously like if you've been in my epically aligned program, I'm all about the New Year.

It's just so exciting for me. And of course, I chose to marry my husband on New Year's Eve. And anyway, so we went to Paris for our anniversary.

And a lot of things went wrong. And at first, I couldn't figure out why so many things were going wrong until I realized the lesson that the universe was teaching me.

And I wanted to pass this lesson on to you so that it doesn't bite you in the ass. And maybe it's already biting you in the ass and you don't know it, but I want to help you stop it.

And it has to do with not living your life authentically and also having secret desires. So what does it mean secret desires? Okay.

So here's the thing. All of us have secret desires. And these are the desires that were kind of ashamed of having. And when we're really stressed out or when we're daydreaming or when we're like, oh, I'm just so annoyed, I wish I could do this.

I wish I could just quit everything today and just go off to Guatemala and just live there for three months off the grid and have some space to myself and just restart everything and refresh everything and then come back and do what I really want to do, which is start a business.

Right. Have you ever had a thought like that? I've had many different thoughts. Okay. I've had many different secret desires over the years. And the thing is is that if you've had a secret desire like the one that I just explained has the universe presented you an opportunity or a lesson for you to be able to fulfill on that secret desire by maybe presenting itself at the end of the day.

Maybe presenting itself as a very fucked up challenge. What I mean by that is maybe you lost your job that day.
