Feeling like life keeps throwing you test after test?
Before you assume the universe is challenging you, ask: is this actually a test, or is there a bigger pattern trying to get my attention?
In this episode, Lacy and Jessica break down how to recognize the difference between everyday inconveniences, true tests, and the deeper patterns asking to be healed.
This episode is your protocol for the moments when it feels like everything is hitting at once. Through the tools, practices, and questions Lacy and Jessica use themselves, you’ll learn how to zoom out, identify the larger pattern, uncover what your triggers are actually pointing to, and reconnect with your grounded, regulated self before reacting from fear or old conditioning.
If you’ve been thinking, “Why can’t I catch a break?”—this episode will help you find the clarity and self-trust to move through what’s showing up and meet your next level on the other side.

HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips
(with exercises by Jessica Gill)
Available now!
The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.
At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.
Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
– Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
– Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
– Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
– Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self
With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.
Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
