Episode 19 - Manifestation - Part 1

In Episode 19 of Voicenotes from the Chrysalis, Avalon dives into one of the most talked-about topics in the spiritual and personal growth space: manifestation. Drawing inspiration from the playful definition of magic in Halloweentown — “all you have to do is want something and let yourself have it” — Avalon explores the first half of that equation: the power of wanting.

She unpacks how to get clear on your true desires by drilling down to the core desire beneath surface wants (like a shiny new laptop), and shares how accepting what we want — even the things we feel we “shouldn’t” — can dissolve shame and open space for the universe to meet us in unexpected ways. Avalon also emphasizes the importance of context: it’s not just about manifesting the million-dollar business, but about how you want to feel while living that reality.
