Ep. 358 - Manifesting Your Life Through Joy, Not Burnout - The Process with Cynthia

Ever wonder what it takes to manifest a completely different life—one rooted in authenticity, joy, and creative freedom?

In this powerful Process episode, Cynthia, TBM’s very own Content Creator, walks us through her transformation. In just a year and a half, Cynthia went from being a burnt-out corporate worker stuck in a cycle of overperformance and under-recognition to a thriving, aligned freelancer living a life of true abundance.

Raised between Taiwan and the U.S., Cynthia internalized the belief that hard work—not self-expression—was the key to success. Despite rapid promotions and tripling her salary in a high-profile role, she found herself disconnected, anxious, and unfulfilled. Through the TBM work—DIs, expanders, nervous system regulation—Cynthia cleared space, followed pings rooted in joy, and unlocked dream opportunities like a long-term creative partnership with Amazon and eventually, her role at TBM.

This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt unseen in your career, afraid to step away from the “golden handcuffs,” or unsure how to live in alignment. Cynthia shares how choosing rest, joy, and authenticity—day by day—can radically shift your life. When you choose joy and ease over fear and performance, the life you're meant to live magnetically unfolds. And it’s possible in the here and now.

HOW TO MANIFEST by Lacy Phillips

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.
