Just in time for your New Year reflections - Dr. Sara and Dr. Marisa are blowing up everything you thought you knew about manifestation, vision boards, and "new year, new mindset" promises. In this perfectly timed episode, they're getting real about why some of your 2024 goals might have fallen flat (spoiler: it's not because you didn't try hard enough!) and how to approach 2025 from a totally different angle - your heart.

Through vulnerable stories and honest insights, they're unpacking the game-changing difference between pushing yourself mentally and aligning with your heart's wisdom. Because let's be real - if another "mindset shift" was all it took, wouldn't we all be exactly where we want to be by now?

🔥 The unexpected reason successful people feel empty despite "having it all"

Truth Bombs That Hit Different:

"Your mind is brilliant at creating the path, but your heart knows the destination"

"You can manifest all day long, but if your heart's not in it, you're just creating expensive distractions"

"We relate with the Creator, not just the creation"

This Episode is Your Permission Slip to:

• Stop forcing yourself into other people's versions of success
• Trust your heart's timing over your mind's timeline
