the universe is always going to meet you halfway. You're going to put in the effort.

You're going to put in the attention. But there has to be a certain element of surrender involved

as well where you're allowing a flow instead of just like forcing and pushing.

Hello, my friends. You're listening to the big conversations podcast. I'm your host,

Haley Hoffman Smith, and I am a

subconscious breakthrough coach, a content creator, and a singer songwriter who is obsessed

with all things spirituality, rewiring your subconscious mind, receiving guidance from the

universe, finding our highest vibration, and manifesting the life of our dreams. You're in the right

place if you're ready to tap into the magic that's been waiting for you all along, find deeper clarity and what's unfolding in your beautiful life,

deepen your faith in the universe, and learn the tools to accelerate your inherent power.

drive at this point home and just happen to be really interesting examples.

So the reason this is so important to talk about is because a lot of times when we think about

manifesting, bringing what we want to fruition, making it happen

all of the above, we think about sheer force, sheer willpower, like, I'm going to go after

this, I'm going to make it happen for myself. And there's like an underlying intensity to that, right?

Like, I think a lot about back when I was in college and I basically decided I'm transferring colleges
