I'm writing to you from a cozy Airbnb that almost wasn't mine – a space that's now become a powerful reminder of something I need to share with you: why your unexpressed emotions might be the only thing standing between you and your manifestation breakthroughs.

Let's rewind to Thursday morning at 5:40 AM, I woke up with that gentle excitement about the weekend getaway I'd planned with Steve. You know that feeling – anticipation mixed with the mental checklist of "did I remember everything?"

So I grabbed my phone to check our Airbnb details and my heart sank.

Reservation canceled. WTF.

Ekkk, I knew the issue in a nanosecond—my credit card had experienced fraud, and the new card information hadn't been updated. Worse yet, all the notifications had gone to some old Yahoo email I haven't accessed in forever.

And that's when it happened – after a week of my nanny resigning and the big energy of launching my program and a million tiny stressors – I completely fell apart.

I cried.

Not the gentle, quiet tears.

The messy, body-shaking kind.

Of course, it wasn't really about the Airbnb—it was about the cumulative weight of everything: feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, and the tipping point of one more thing falling apart. It wasn't convenient timing either—we needed to be out of the house for the school run in 25 minutes.

And here's the most important part: I let myself feel it all. I didn't push it down or tell myself to "be positive" or "just manifest a solution." I allowed the full spectrum of my feelings to move through me.

I even let my kids see me crying.

Because here's what I know to be true: What we resist, persists. What we feel, we heal.

Those emotions? They're energy in motion. When we don't let them flow, they get stuck in our bodies, creating blocks, pain, and disease over time.

After my emotional release, I felt lighter. Clearer. Like a weight had lifted. I went online to find alternative accommodations for our weekend – and would you believe what happened?

The EXACT same Airbnb was still available.

I'm sitting in it right now as I write this to you. The universe delivered a miracle right after I honored my feelings.

This is your reminder that the path to manifesting isn't about bypassing your emotions – it's about feeling them fully and then creating space for magic to enter.

What feelings have you been pushing down lately? I wonder what might be waiting on the other side of your emotional release...

sometimes the most powerful manifestation tool is simply allowing yourself to fall apart so you can reassemble in a more aligned way.
