Summary

We’re closing out the year by revisiting one of our most loved and impactful episodes of 2025. Especially during our end-of-year Return to Magic Challenge, this conversation on manifestation tests feels more relevant than ever. Jessica and Lacy break down the seven most common types of manifestation tests, from scarcity and ego to boundaries and core wounds. They offer clear insight into how to recognize these tests, reframe your perspective, and move through them with greater self-trust. This replay is a powerful reminder that every challenge is an invitation to step deeper into your most magnetic, authentic self. Whether this is your first listen or a return visit, it’s an episode you’ll come back to again and again on your manifestation journey.
