I am Nicole Kahlil, and you're listening to the this Is Woman's Work podcast, where together we're redefining what it means, what it looks and feels like to be doing woman's Work in the world today with you as the decider. And there are lots of ways that we decide a lot of things that shape how we move through the world. Some of them are external the voices, expectations, and experiences that try to tell us who we should be. But there is also always the internal our intuition, thoughts, our feelings, our hopes, our head trash and those quiet, unique abilities that make us us. And the tricky part is, most of us have been trained to listen more to the noise around us than to the wisdom within us. We've been conditioned to seek validation instead of alignment. And when the outside world gets loud with opinions, pressure, and the endless shoulds, it's hard to hear the whispers of our inner knowing, isn't it? Which is why I wanted to cover today's topic on the show. Because it lives right at the intersection of intuition, creativity, and trust. A topic that I'll admit I have a complicated relationship with. And that's manifesting not because I don't believe in it. I do. I believe that there are things that we can't explain, energies that we can't measure, and gifts that connect us in ways that logic never could. I believe intuition is real. I believe some people just know things. And I'm fascinated by all of it. I mean, historically, women who have had these gifts, oracles, healers, and the deeply intuitive were called witches and burned for it. Maybe that's part of why I've always been drawn to the mystical. I even live in the town where more witches were put on trial than anywhere else in American history, which feels less like coincidence and more like cosmic assignment. But here's where I struggle. I believe powerful words like manifesting have been hijacked, watered down, turned into hashtag spirituality and influencer slogans. The real magic, the power, the mystery, the potential has been stripped away and packaged as 30 second reels. And I get that. That's my judgment. And like most judgments, I know it says more about me than about anyone else. But I am fascinated and I'm also resistant. I'm curious and skeptical. I crave the mystical, but still want to understand it with my brain. So in this episode we're opening our minds and more importantly our hearts to explore the art of manifesting. Our guest today is Colette Baron Reed, internationally respected author, intuitive and Oracle expert. Her best selling books and Oracle cards are published in 27 languages. And her new book, the Art of Manifesting, co authored with Anna Denning, is offers a meditative drawing practice to rewire your brain and to co create with the universe one circle and a few flowy lines at a time. So, Colette, thank you for being here. And I have to ask, as you are the expert, how do you feel about how manifesting is being portrayed?
