Host: Ali Mortimer, Life Consultant & Joy Coach

Ali Mortimer shares her personal transformation story, moving from corporate consultant to spiritual coach, and explores her unique take on manifesting happiness.

Ali’s message is that anyone—no matter how lost—can recode their life toward happiness.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. From Chaos to Calm: Setting the Scene

• Ali candidly shares the chaos in her own household, connecting it to life’s unpredictability for listeners.
• [01:30] She describes the current construction at home: “I don't know why we decided to do it in the middle of half term.”
• Sets a relatable tone—everyone faces overwhelming moments.

2. Manifestation: Daily and Personal

• Manifestation is always at work:
  • [02:00] “We manifest all the time, every day, every moment... the life we are living… is a true manifestation of who we have been, how we've been thinking, how we've been acting, how we've been feeling up till this point.”
• Reflection as a key to future co-creation: Understanding past patterns helps shape what comes next.

3. Manifestation Pet Peeve: “Calling It In”

• Ali explains why the common phrase "calling in" (as in love, clients, or money) is misleading.
• [03:11] “If you're calling in something, that means you're in a state of, ‘I don't have it yet’... you will continue to keep calling in what is lacking, you're in a state of lack.”
• She urges listeners to embody the feeling of “it is done,” not focus on the absence.

4. Ali’s Manifestation Journey: From Rock Bottom to Joy

• Reflects on her 2016 rock bottom: PTSD, depression, eating disorder, insomnia after her mother’s death and personal upheaval.
• Explains her pivot toward personal development via books like The Secret ([07:30]), and subsequent works by Gabby Bernstein, Wayne Dyer, Tara Moore, etc.
• [12:50] “It unlocked a whole new world… like I'd opened the door to an emporium that I'd never been in before.”

5. Meditation as Medication: The Turning Point

• Instead of medication, Ali chose meditation as her daily practice.
• [17:34] “In those moments of meditation that I did every day… I allowed myself to tune into the energy of happiness… I just chose to feel it.”
• The practice became a lifeline—every day, she visualized stepping through a fiery portal into a peaceful, blissful garden filled with love and beauty.

6. Manifestation in Action: The Garden Becomes Reality

• The visualization manifested as reality when her former partner invited her to see a house ([24:50]):
• Memorable Moment:
  • [26:05] “As I went through, I couldn't believe it. Makes me emotional still…that feeling I felt, and I just felt took my breath away because I was there. It was my garden. I'd literally walked through the portal, and there it was in reality.”
• This catalyzed forgiveness, reconciliation, and stepping into real-world joy.

7. The Four Stages/Beings of Manifestation

• Ali identifies that manifesting true change requires alignment of four beings:
  • Spiritual (soul/truth)
  • Emotional (feeling/energy)
  • Cerebral (thoughts/mind)
  • Physical (actions/behavior)
• [33:00]: “There were four beautiful stages of my being that had to come into vibrational harmony… spiritual, emotional, cerebral, physical.”

8. The Rose Compass & Personal Teachings

• Her Manifest It program—and later, the Rose Compass—emerged from these insights.
• [37:01] “Listen to your soul. Follow your heart. Hear yourself think. Move in the energy of feeling… because you will create it and it will manifest as if by magic.”
• She later explored the science of manifestation for skeptics, which she teases for the next episode.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Authentic Joy:
  • [08:45] “I was loving the people I was locked in with. And I was really on this beautiful path of loving myself, because I could look in the mirror and say, ‘Do you know what? I love what you're doing right now.’”
• On Choosing Happiness Amidst Darkness:
  • [18:08] “I decided that I didn't need a reason or a circumstance or a situation to be or feel happiness. I just chose to feel it.”
• On The Power of Visualization:
  • [22:00] “There was this giant circle, like fiery circle in front of me… I could see through almost like this portal… me happy in a beautiful garden… it was all in my imagination, but yet in my body, it felt like it was reality.”
• On Real-World Manifestation:
  • [26:11] “I walked through the door… it was my garden. I'd literally walked through the portal, and there it was in reality.”
• On Aligning the Whole Self:
  • [33:00] “It was my four beings... spiritual, emotional, cerebral, physical... aligned to that vision I could see.”
