Lucila stepped outside her comfort zone as an interior designer to write and illustrate a children's book about manifestation in record time. By letting go of perfectionism and tuning into flow, her book went viral on Instagram—a result she never planned for but fully embraced.
I’m currently in the middle of the Manifesting Mastery, and I can honestly say—it’s changing my life in ways I didn’t expect. At first, I thought this would just be about vision boards and mindset shifts, but it’s so much deeper than that. The tools we’re learning? Powerful. But the biggest surprise? You don’t even have to apply all of them to start seeing real results. Just a few—and life begins to shift.
One of my biggest manifestations so far is something I never planned for: I wrote and illustrated a children’s book about manifestation—Emanuel’s Apples—in record time.
As an interior designer, this was way outside my “lane,” but the program helped me let go of the idea that everything has to be logical, profitable, or perfect. I sat down one day, tuned into flow, and the story came through with ease, grace, and joy. I wasn’t attached to the outcome—I just wanted to share something meaningful about mindfulness, gratitude, and being open to the unknown.
And guess what? The book went viral on Instagram. I still can’t believe it.
One of my biggest takeaways from the program is learning to notice what’s already working, rather than stressing over what’s not. Time-bending, for example, is real. I’ve been able to complete multiple projects, write a book, and still enjoy spaciousness in my day. It’s not about hustling harder—it’s about aligning smarter.
There are so many tools that I can’t wait to explore further. If these are the results from applying just a few, I’m beyond excited to see what happens when I start living and breathing all of them.
If you’re even thinking about joining a manifestation course, let this be your sign. You have no idea what’s possible until you surrender, show up, and trust the process.
