EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™
Episode 377: How to Manifest: Your Guide to Manifestation, TBM, and the Roadmap to Your Dream Life
Hosted by Jessica Gill with Lacy Phillips
Date: October 17, 2025
Episode Overview
This episode is the definitive introduction to the To Be Magnetic™ (TBM) manifestation process. Host Jessica Gill and TBM founder Lacy Phillips discuss the new book How to Manifest and break down their proven Neural Manifestation™ method. The conversation is grounded in both neuroscience and spirituality, offering step-by-step guidance on how listeners can reprogram limiting beliefs and manifest a reality that aligns with their most authentic selves. Designed as the “ultimate manual to manifestation,” the episode is both an invitation for newcomers and an expansion tool for seasoned TBMers.
1. Main Themes and Purpose
- Introducing the How to Manifest book as TBM’s foundational, science-backed, step-by-step guide to practical manifestation.
- Explaining the pillars of TBM's Neural Manifestation™: unblocking, expanding, and taking aligned action.
- Emphasizing the blend of neuroscience, psychology, and energetics that sets TBM apart from “woo-woo” manifestation approaches.
- Offering reassurance and practical tools for those in periods of transition, loss, or major change (“the stripping year”).
2. Key Discussion Points & Insights
A. The Origin and Intent of the Book
- The How to Manifest book represents the distilled TBM method—brand new exercises, clarity, and accessibility.
- Lacy sees the book not as her solo authorship but as a collective TBM offering:
“This book feels like the ultimate manual to manifestation. …It's crazy. …Now I can just hand them a book.” (Lacy, 08:01)
- New exercises in the book ensure even experienced TBMers gain new insights and tools.
B. The Philosophy of Manifestation at TBM
- The TBM process is not “think positive and pretend”—it’s deeply rooted in authenticity and self-worth.
- Manifestation is about removing the “onion layers” of pain, shame, and societal programming to rediscover your true self.
“Manifestation has nothing to do with those things. It has everything to do with self-worth, being as authentic as possible, dealing with the inner imprintation you picked up from zero to now.” (Lacy, 16:46)
- Science validates intuition—the method was first channeled by Lacy, then later confirmed by neuroscientists and psychologists.
C. How the TBM Method Works (Neural Manifestation™)
1. Unblocking
- Identifying and clearing subconscious blocks (old patterns, limiting beliefs, childhood programming).
- If you don’t have what you want, it’s because there’s a block:
“You would have the thing if you didn't have a block. That's it. It's just that simple.” (Lacy, 24:57)
- TBM’s guided Deep Imagining (DI) audios are a unique, at-home tool for healing blocks, validated by cutting-edge therapeutic techniques (EMDR, IFS, etc.).
2. Expanding
- Finding “expanders”—people or experiences that show your subconscious what’s possible for you.
- Reframes envy/jealousy as indicators of what you desire and can achieve:
“They're showing my subconscious that that too is possible for me. So that reframe is so healthy in opposed to what the patriarchy…has been teaching us for so long of how to be with one another.” (Lacy, 44:21)
- Different types of expanders (fragment, bridge, etc.) explored in the book.
3. Aligned Action
- The universe “tests” your readiness by sending situations that challenge your boundaries or self-worth.
- Taking aligned action means saying “no” to what doesn’t serve you, passing tests, and walking through fear.
- All three elements—unblocking, expanding, aligned action—must work together:
“It is this three-part trifecta that has to be in motion at the same time.” (Lacy, 49:01)
D. The “Stripping Year” & The Power of Surrender
- Embracing periods of loss, change, or deconstruction as sacred opportunities to realign with authentic desires and purpose.
- The “stripped” space is potent for calling in new manifestations and returning to your core authentic self.
E. Community & Ongoing Support
- The upcoming speaking tour, in-person events, book club, and end-of-year challenge are designed to foster community and deepen the practice.
“We are constantly scanning for the next and the best and how to integrate it. …We will hold your hand.” (Jessica, 29:45/68:41)
- In-person events foster powerful expansion through collective energy and real-world mirroring.
- The TBM Pathway membership and Deep Imagining audio library provide ongoing, on-demand support.
3. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
-
On Why TBM Manifestation is Different:
“It's not woo woo at all… Manifestation has nothing to do with those things. It has everything to do with self-worth, being as authentic as possible, dealing with the inner imprintation you picked up from zero to now.”
(Lacy, 16:46) -
On Subconscious Blocks:
“You would have the thing if you didn't have a block. That's it. It's just that simple.”
(Lacy, 24:57) -
On Power of Expanders:
“They're showing my subconscious that that too is possible for me. So that reframe is so healthy in opposed to what the patriarchy…has been teaching us.”
(Lacy, 44:21) -
On Taking Aligned Action:
“The Aligned Action piece was…addressing tests…which is the way that we communicate to the universe: ‘I'm not f***ing around here anymore.’”
(Lacy, 46:21) -
On Community & In-Person Events:
“The in person experience really does feel like a vortex… You're just around…people who are showing up and…wanting to change their lives or have already changed their lives.”
(Lacy, 63:44) -
On Reclaiming Empowerment:
“You are manifesting whether you are aware of it or not. …So why wouldn't you want to be like, let me check out what's going on in my subconscious and maybe make some tweaks?”
