Hello and welcome to, welcome back to trying to care. If you're new here, my name's Ashley,

and I upload every single Monday. But today, you chose an especially special episode because it's a guest

episode, which I don't do often or really ever, but it's something that I do want to do more

moving forward. Obviously, my podcast has always been a solo podcast

and it's never going to turn into like a caller daddy, sit down interviewing celebrities or anything

like that. Unless you want that. No, I'm just kidding. That's not going to happen. But when there is a guest

that I think fits what we typically talk about or I think the conversation can be inspirational

or helpful for you or it's just a guess that I truly love and admire. I want to have them on.

And that's exactly what today's episode is. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down and

talking with Michaela Jay from Mindset Magic Manifestation, which probably sounds familiar to you if you listen to my podcast because I talk about her and her podcast

nonstop. She is the one who has a podcast who got me into podcasting. She is a person who really

moved me and inspired me to follow my dreams, you know, post more on social media, quit my job,

start my own podcast. And she just really helped me out of a very dark place in my life.

And for that, I'm forever thankful. It's one of those things where it's like, yeah, if it wasn't

for me finding her, I might have found my way and got to where I am now in a different route.

But I'm just extremely thankful that finding her led me to where I am now

and I'm able to sit down and talk to you every single Monday. But Michaela is the host of mindset,

magic and manifestation. She talks all about how to manifest and really gives you a realistic way

on how to transform your life, the way you think, the people you surround yourself with,

all the things that so many of us want, but struggle with.

She is one of those people who doesn't just talk to talk.

She really walks a walk.
