Today, I am talking to Roxie Nafousi. Roxie is an self-development coach, manifesting expert, author, ambassador for the Mental Health Foundation and Instagram Agony Aunt. Her commitment to transforming the lives of people who suffer with emotional and mental health issues, and helping them to fulfill their potential, has seen her become a well-known figure in the wellness world. She has hosted self love and motivational workshops and events for major brands as well as being a regular speaker on wellness and mental health panels both in and outside the UK.   Roxie opens up about her past, her addiction, and how she found spiritual healing that eventually led her to a better path in life. We both shared our vulnerability as we talk about the real value of manifestation, the misconceptions surrounding it, how fear and doubt can hold us back from manifesting our goals, and how we can continue to manifest the goals we want to achieve alongside the priorities we currently have.   Having clear goals will help us set a clearer vision of the future we want to have. And when we work hard to achieve these goals, its manifestation is put into action.    What We Discuss:00:00:00 Intro00:03:10 When did your spiritual journey start?00:07:43 Tapping in drugs and addiction00:10:48 Manifesting the wrong things00:14:07 How do we manifest negativity?00:17:02 Devaluing the meaning of manifestation00:21:43 Misconceptions about manifestation00:24:27 Having clear goals00:30:22 Fear and doubt00:36:05 Self care through fear and doubt00:41:23 Does manifestation and prioritization work together?00:45:44 Mom guilt00:50:01 Legally changing a name00:54:24 Who you want to be01:00:35 Being clear with your vision01:03:14 What does envy represent01:08:59 Finding joy in other people’s losses01:11:53 Building self respect01:16:45 Roxie on Final FiveEpisode ResourcesRoxie Nafousi | InstagramRoxie Nafousi | FacebookRoxie Nafousi | TwitterRoxie Nafousi | WebsiteManifest: 7 Steps to Living Your Best LifeWant to be a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach?
