EP 76: Level Up Your Manifestation Game: From Economy to Business Class Mindset

In this week's episode of "Sew Flipping Extra," I'm sharing powerful insights from my  trip to Ghana and exploring how experiencing your dreams firsthand can massively speed up your manifestations. Have you ever wondered why "testing out" your dream life—like test-driving that luxury car or exploring your dream home—can bring your vision into reality quicker?

I dive deep into my personal journey, shifting from an economy-class mindset to embracing the abundance and comfort of business-class travel. Experiencing this shift firsthand revealed why truly feeling and experiencing the next level is the secret sauce to manifesting bigger, faster, and with more clarity.

Also in this episode:

✨ Authentic moments from my time in Ghana, fully immersing myself in the vibrant local life and culture. ✨ A powerful Breathwork experience that led to unexpected emotional breakthroughs and deep reflections on life, loss, and healing. ✨ My heartfelt thoughts on celebrating Mother's Day, reflecting on gratitude, self-care, and the beauty of community.

Ready to elevate your manifestations from dreams to reality? Buckle up (in business class, of course!) and join me on this inspiring journey.

Speaker 1: 0:00

How can you manifest a different scenery or a different location or a different way if you don't know what the other side looks like? Are you with me? All right, let me make it make sense. So when it comes to manifesting, they always say that you should like. Let's say, if you want a car, you want your dream car. Instead of just thinking about the dream car that you want, you should go down to the car dealership and test drive the car so you can visualize yourself in the car, because you've been there and you can. You know what the inside of the car looks like. You know what it smells like. You know how the windows work, so you can visualize yourself putting down the windows, turning the wheel, how the windows work, so you can visualize yourself putting down the windows, turning the wheel, how the wheel feels in your hand, and it makes your visualization stronger. And when you think about that, that makes sense. If you want your dream home, start going to house openings and walking around the home so that you can visualize walking around your idle home. And you know you might change a few certain things, but you're like, like that garden. I want my garden to look like this, but you've actually stepped foot in this particular garden. It might not be that particular house, but you know what it looks like, you know what it feels like to be in that situation, and so one of my manifestations, or one of my dreams that I want to attract that I'm attracting, it's already in the making is to travel for work, be booked abroad and in different countries and different locations, which involves me travelling, and ideally international travelling, travelling on a plane. I want my passport to be racking up those stamps and stuff, and one thing I never thought about is how I travel, because imagine this Like the manifestation of travelling is coming true, and every week or even every month, every two weeks, whatever it looks like, I'm getting on a plane. But every time I travel I'm in economy and economy's fine. I'm not even gonna lie. I've never had a problem, like if I can get a window seat, I'm happy, but then if you, if I can get like an aisle seat, that's not too bad, and then if you get the ones where you're by the door, that's luxury, that's even better.

Speaker 1: 2:20

But my current situation right now is that I am in Ghana and, coming to Ghana, we decided to travel business class. My manifestation has changed. Honestly, it has changed because now I've experienced business class. So now, in my manifestations of adding travel to my bag and travel to my cv and what it is that I do, now I want to travel in business class because I know what that looks like. I know what that feels like. I've done a room tour of my business class.

Speaker 1: 2:54

What's well, it was obviously all business classes look different, so it was on british airways, but I know where that tray is and I know what's in there when I open that door. And I know what's in there when I open that door and and I know what's in there when I open that door and the little wash bag that they give you. I know all the little things are inside and it's from the Wyatt Company. I know that. I know that I can lay totally flat with my seat all the way down. I know that they give me this lovely blanket, which usually when I do go on a plane like, let's say, it's Virgin Atlantic and they give you the blanket usually I will take the blanket. I never took the blanket because it's okay, I'll be back, I don't need your blanket and, to be to be honest, I was like you're going gone. Where are you gonna use this big heavy blanket? But I, I like, before I even sat down in my seat, the air hostess was like, can I get you a drink? And I was like, babes, I haven't even put my bag in the overhead compartment yet. Like what? Yeah, can I have a prosecco? After I'd already been in the lounge, um, on my on eating all that. I was full to the max by the time I got off this, this fight.

Speaker 1: 4:00

Do you know what? Let me do an intro. We can go a bit more into this. Hi guys, welcome to another episode of the so Flippin' Extra podcast, a platform for me to express, explore and connect and be so flippin' extra, why I hear you arcs. Well, babes, that's what brings me joy. So, without further ado, let's get more into this episode. And yeah, let me let me tell you well, I think, maybe, maybe we should move outside. Let's get some authentic sounds. When I tell you guys, it is noisy out here, but I want you to guys to hear it. Go away to hear what it sounds like.

Speaker 1: 4:40

To be honest, because it's Sunday morning, it actually should be a little bit quieter than it is during the week, because where we are at. We're in an apartment and the apartment is right opposite. So where I am, my balcony looks onto the main road and in the morning, 6 o'clock'clock actually six past six the sun starts rising, looks absolutely beautiful, and everyone on the other side of the road they're setting up their businesses. So you've got wicker making businesses, you've got there's a woman. She does street food. I haven't been over there, but she does street food. She is busy, my girl is busy. There's a coconut store there, but usually by now those particular ones that I've mentioned, they've all started setting up and they're not setting up. So I think, because it's Sunday, they're not going to be setting up today. Like it's just, oh, it's so lovely. And then behind them there's like a field and on this field, like you can see, like there's cows. Is that a sheep Cows over there?

Speaker 1: 5:46

But my first morning I've come out now and I'm sitting outside and I'm seeing everyone setting up and I just I love it because I feel like when you stay in a hotel you just see hotel people, the people that come to the country and they come to the, they just go to the hotels and it's hotel life. And because I'm opposite these businesses and people just working. I'm seeing it like I saw some kids running across, running on the grass behind where the the shacks are playing with a wheel. You know, like back in the day, when kids would just play with whatever they had, and they're playing with this wheel running and the wheels like rolling. They're rolling it like. You see these things on tv. I've never seen it in real life and I was like, yeah, come on, then it must have been.

Speaker 1: 6:33

About five minutes later I saw the woman walking with the massive, um, the massive bowl on her head filled with all her bits. I was like this is what I came here to see. I wanted to see just the realness of it and it's just so. It's so beautiful and I'm so grateful to be in this space and having access to this and seeing this.

Speaker 1: 6:59

But back to what I was saying is, now that I've seen this and I've even the journey coming here, being in Ghana, because I, like, I've wanted to come to Africa for a while. I know not all the cities, continents. My geography is not, is not on point, please don't judge me, guys. I I know they're all not the same, but now I have an idea of what the next one could be like it's opened my, it's opened my visualisation eye. It's so that my manifestations can be even more real and authentic. I can now, when I'm visualising coming back to Africa or going to another city in Africa, I can smell it. I can say I just want to have that smell of the heat and I just want to have that smell of the land and the smell of people making their baskets and the food. I can add that to my visualisations so it makes it even more real and it makes the visualisations come even quicker. So, if you want to access them, give yourself a taste of them. Like I said, if it's the car, you don't have to pay anything, you don't have to put yourself out, apart from travelling to wherever. You've got to go and test drive this car. But you can go test drive a car. So go, figure out what are the things that you really want to manifest and how can you have a taste of them, to see what it feels like, because the feeling is what really ignites the manifestations.

Speaker 1: 8:37

I want to say a massive happy Mother's Day to all of the mummies that listen to my podcast. But all mums aren't, you know, real. I gave birth mums. Mums come in the form of aunties as well. So if you look after someone, man, and you consider yourself playing that role, listen, two slaps on your chest, you're doing an amazing job. And happy Mother's Day to you. And, yeah, this is how I'm spending my Mother's Day to you. And, yeah, this is how I'm spending my Mother's Day. I feel like this has got to be the most perfect Mother's Day. I miss my babies. I'm gonna have a call with them later, obviously, because it's Mother's Day, but Mother's Day is just. I'm gonna be. I'm gonna probably go by the pool a bit later.

Speaker 1: 9:15

Like we had a lovely day yesterday actually, where we went to a beachort.

Speaker 1: 9:20

The journey to the Beach Resort was wild.

Speaker 1: 9:23

The like, the bumps in the road were crazy. It gave Halsden a run for its money because Halsden's roads are absolutely awful. But it was such a beautiful way to kind of celebrate our Mother's Day and celebrate ourselves, because all of us that came like we're're all mums, all of us on this trip and business mums just working on ourselves, working on our businesses, and obviously, as a mum, you just don't get time to put yourself first sometimes. I guess sometimes I do consider myself quite lucky when it comes to putting myself first, because, you know, obviously I co-parent and for the amount of time that he has the kids, I get a break, which a lot of my friends they don't have, and when I say it to people, like oh yeah, they're with their dad this week, they're like what, you're so lucky. And at first I used to be like standard, like should be having his kids, but I do realise the privilege that I have, because, as much as we say should be, there's not like that for everyone.

Speaker 1: 10:26

To be honest, I felt like I got more of a break when we split up, Because in a relationship you don't break, we're together, we're in this together. You look after the kids and I go to work. I mean, no, that's bullshit actually. Because you're working, I'm working, and then we come home and I'm looking after the kids and I'm tired and there's no break. Mum don't get a break. But until I was, yeah, single, that's when I got my break. Man, this is not me. I'm not saying that you should become single. If you want a break, honestly, don't do that. It has its pros and cons. For me, it was pros, though, but it was pros because of where we were in our relationship. Hey, how did we get here? This was not what this episode was supposed to be about. I just it was really.

Speaker 1: 11:17

Honestly, I just wanted to touch base on the whole manifesting because for you lot that come here every week, I know over and especially some of you have been here for the year for it was been over a year and so I would say, of more recently, like season two of the so Flippin' Extra podcast, I've really focused on manifestation and it was always something that was. I always spoke about it, but I never. It wasn't something that I would put online. But when I first started YouTube, I actually wanted to do YouTube about manifesting and teaching people how to manifest. And let me tell you why I didn't do it and probably why sometimes, even when I started my podcast, I was skeptical of talking about it. It was because I would watch other people's YouTubes.

Speaker 1: 12:09

Or maybe I had, like you know, maybe two of my creators that I used to follow and you know, in my eyes they were manifesting big things. They were like they. You know they were doing this big things. They were like you know, they were doing this and this and this. And I thought to myself this is my thought to myself. At the time I thought are people gonna listen to what I have to say? Like how can, if I'm advising them on how to manifest, they're going to look at me and dissect me and be like what does she know about manifesting? What has she manifested?

Speaker 1: 12:40

And I, at this point, the reason why I wanted to talk about is because I had manifested stuff, I'd learned the art of manifesting and I'd learned about the law of attraction. I have read the books like I was obsessed with the law of attraction abraham, hicks, esther and jerry. Like I, I spent a lot of time reading because I was so interested and invested and at the time that this all found me, it was clearly it was something that I needed, because I went full in and I just wanted all I wanted to do was share that with people. But I held back because I was like what are people going to say? And I'm so sick and tired. I'm so sick and tired of when I get into this state of what are people going to say? Who gives a fuck what they're going to say? And, to be honest, when we think about, what are they going to say, are people going to say something? The fuck they are? Are they going to say it to your face? Absolutely not. So why do you care? Why do you care what people say? Do you know what, even if it is your friends and family and they are going to say something? So what? Oh man, let's really get out of it. Let's get out of our heads and just thinking about what people are going to say.

Speaker 1: 14:04

Before I close off this particular episode, I want to share an experience that we had here. We went to a Breathworks class and the great thing is that I didn't know what to expect from this class. It had been recommended to us and it was pretty impressive, it was amazing. And the instructor his name was Malik, and he introduced us to the practice before we started and everything. And he was telling us you know what we were going to do, how the breathing works. You know it happens in sessions and, uh, I can't remember. I'm trying to think anyway. So one of the things he said was that breathing is the, it's just guaranteed. Like we're born, we breathe, we pass over, we stop breathing. It's the constant thing that we have in our life.

Speaker 1: 15:01

And when he said that, I just in, like the tears welled up. I welled up and I was like, keep it together, keep it together, keep together. But also I wanted to be like just feel, just flow, and just release, like stop holding again, I don't want to cry. Because at that point I'm like, oh, I don't want to cry. Yet why don't I want to cry, like obviously, because I'm like, oh, people are gonna think what an idiot she's crying. When it even started, I mean, were they did? I think they were thinking that. I'm not sure, but I was thinking that.

Speaker 1: 15:28

So that thought was in my head and we start the breathing process and the process like I can't do it for you now because obviously I'm on the laptop it's like in, in, out, like so, in, expand your belly, in expand your chest and out, and everything had to be with mouth, no breathing through your nose, and each session lasted about 10 minutes. And then at the end of that 10 minutes, that the whole time eyes are closed, um, you shake it out, and that the shake out start last for about a minute or so and we go into the next session and during this time as well, he'll walk around to everyone and the first time I think he puts something like some oars and stuff on the third eye. He touches it somewhere else after or asks for consent. At the beginning and during the last session of breathing he came around and he touches everyone's feet. So, um, I felt him at this point that he's touched my feet and he kind of the pressure points and then touches your ankles and then touches, you know, maybe my calf, and then he obviously moves on to the next person.

Speaker 1: 16:35

Now there's so much that I'm missing out and maybe, if you guys are interested, I can go more into the whole process and the feeling, but I really just specifically want to talk about this segment, this part of it. So the emotions. I've been from the other three previous segments of this breathing exercise. I emotions have come. I've cried, I can feel hot tears running down the side of my face and then I've breathed it out. I've zoned out a couple times where, when I say zoned out, like for maybe 10 seconds, I'm like, was I even breathing? I felt like I stopped doing the breathing exercise and then you know, I'm back again. Anyway, let me just go to the point I want to make.

Speaker 1: 17:23

I remember thinking, ok, I felt a tap in on the side of my face and I thought, oh, he's back again and he's doing something to my temple. But then I heard him. I kind of heard him move on the other side of the room where he was obviously working with someone else, and then I was like, oh, it's not him. And I instantly knew it was my dad because the whole process I'd felt him with me. As soon as the man said, the last thing you do is breathe, I saw my dad take his last breath. I remember watching him and we're trying to resuscitate him, and I saw his chest rise and I saw it fall. And that's what I kept watching was his chest rising and falling, rising and falling, rising and falling, and it rose and it fell. And I just remember staring at his chest, staring, staring, staring, thinking come on, come on, dad, man, what are you doing? Breathe now.

Speaker 1: 18:20

And he never breathed and he was with me the whole time, that whole process. He was with me, breathing with me, and the thought that I had is just breathe, like when I felt the tapping on the side of my, on the side of my head. I was like he's letting me know he's here with me, right, and just a reminder to breathe If you're stressed out and I don't know. You just don't even know. You're scared, you're stressed, you're whatever it is. When we give life, we breathe. That's what they keep saying is breathe, breathe, just breathe, like we don't breathe enough. Even just as you're listening to this podcast, we're not even breathing to the I can't even get my words out. We're not even breathing to the capacity of what we breathe. It's all shallow breathing. So I don't know what. I don't know.

Speaker 1: 19:12

I want everyone to just find time to breathe. I'm not saying go and do a Breathworks class there. Want to just find time to breathe. I'm not saying go and do a breath works class. There's a lot of stuff on YouTube. Just breathe, try and take some deep breaths, like deep in through the nose, out through the mouth, in through the nose. Learn it. And that's one thing I do find difficult.

Speaker 1: 19:27

And at the end of the session we could share how the experience we had and obviously I had to share come on. And I was just saying that. I said that's the one thing I struggle with. Even when I do the yoga classes, during exercising, I can do the bits, but the breathing and I need that to work for me because it just clears your head. And there was another thing that happened. After all of that happened, we go into just we just lay, there's a word for it. I'm not going to get with the yoga words. I into, just we just laid, there's a word for it. I'm not gonna get with the yoga words. I can't. I can't remember everything. So we've had done the free breathing, heavy breathing sessions, and now we're just laying there. I'm gonna say vignette, but I don't think that's what it is and just normal breathing, said you can just do normal breathing, normal breathing.

Speaker 1: 20:13

And then all of a sudden I couldn't breathe. And you know, like when you're a child, right, and you cry because you got in really bad trouble, maybe you got beats, I don't know. I started doing that and I don't know if it's because I was trying to hold myself back from releasing, releasing an emotion. So it was coming. It was like nah, bitch, you're gonna release this. And so then I'm saying to myself just release it, just release it, stop holding it in, because the more I'm holding it in, the harder it's getting to breathe. Like my. I just put, because I put the blanket over me during like one of the sessions because I was starting to get cold, so now I put my hands over my face and I'm like, and then finally I started taking some deep breaths and it's like it was a mixture of crying and can't breathe, but again it was like that reminder, like breathe, because the difference between living and death is breathing. That's how we you know someone is alive is because they breathe, and that's it. That's that's I know.

Speaker 1: 21:23

I went around houses and trees. I hope you got something. I hope you got something from that, um, but I will never forget this experience. It was magical, to say the least. And, with that said, we are going to end this episode today.

Speaker 1: 21:40

I'm probably going to have a couple episodes coming, like Mother's Day specials, because I want to interview the wonderful people that I'm with and introduce them to you guys. And, yeah, peace out A-Town down west side is the best side. Do I believe that no man's in Ghana right now? Ghana is the best side, but anyways, what I do know is that, wherever I'm at the vibes that so clearly the vibe is here with me in Ghana on this podcast where you guys are, because you guys come in and listen and you guys are absolutely amazing and I love you and I appreciate you so much for being here and even if you know, even if you weren't here, I'd still be doing the podcast, but the fact that you are here makes it 10 times better, because I'm not just talking to myself like on a normal day. I love you. Bye.
