You're listening to episode number 61 of the Journey to Manifesting today. It's so great to have you here with me as usual. So I haven't

recorded an episode in a little while because I just returned from my incredible trip to Bali in Indonesia. It was an extremely long flight and it was worth it.

It was worth all of the organization and all of the management that it required for me to step out of my life here as a mother of four for 10 days and to visit this incredibly sacred place. Have you been to Bali? Let me know. I'd love to know and I'd love to connect with you. So if you'd like to reach out to me, you can do so on any of the social media platforms.

You can follow me on Instagram at SarahProud, which is pretty much where I like to spend most

of my time at the moment.

Instagram is really that incredible space where we can all connect and get

inspired by one another.

So if you are new to the Journey to Manifesting Podcast, welcome! It is so great to have you here with me today. And if you are a

seasoned Journey to Manifesting Podcast listener, welcome again. Welcome back. It is so great that we've been able to share

this adventure together over the last year. If you've only listened to a couple of

episodes, I can highly recommend that you dive back and you look at some of the themes or topics that I've discussed that may be applicable now that weren't perhaps when you first discovered the podcast.

This is the magic of podcasting, the fact that we can dip in and dip out to whatever serves us or inspires us at any specific point in time.

Which brings me to the theme of today's show which is quite topical and it is titled

how the emotional triggers within your family impact the manifestation of your dreams.

And this is especially during the holidays, because the holidays are right around the corner.

It's the season of togetherness, of fun, of playfulness and cheer. However, for many of you out there, there

can be a shadow side to the silly season. No matter what holiday you celebrate, whether it's

Thanksgiving or Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, whatever it is that you celebrate,

it is mostly surrounded by family and celebration. So you might show up on the welcoming doorstep of your family in your nerdy holiday sweaters

with your perfectly wrapped gifts after traveling, God knows how long, super long distances to arrive, only to experience emotional triggers within

the first hour or so. Their supercharged throwaway statements such as, well, you look

tired. Are you still eating bread? Have you found a man yet?
