227. From Mindset To Magnetism: Unlocking Soul-Led Manifestation With Amy
If you've ever found yourself buried in vision boards, scripting rituals, and morning affirmations—yet still feeling stuck—this episode of the Embodied Writing Warrior Podcast is for you. I’m joined by Amy from The Abundance Club, a soul mentor and energetic alchemist, to explore a radically different approach to manifestation.
Amy has spent over 25 years immersed in personal development, starting with Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer at age 16. Since then, she’s created a soul-based empire, guiding women back to their true essence and helping them manifest through alignment—not over-efforting.
Here’s what we explore in this episode:
Why most manifestation advice is rooted in ego, not truth
The biggest lie the industry tells us (and what actually works)
How to know if you’re creating from lack or love
The nervous system’s role in manifestation
Why embodiment trumps mindset every time
Amy’s favorite daily practice for meeting your soul before the world
Amy reminds us that manifestation isn't about becoming someone else—it's about remembering who we already are. And when we remember that we're already whole, already worthy, already enough... the universe mirrors that back in miraculous ways.

Hello, Amy and welcome to the Embodied Writing Warrior Podcast.
Thank you, Kala. It's so lovely to be here and connect. I'm really looking forward to this conversation.
Right. Um, as well, because it's been a while since I've had a guest that specialized in manifestation energetics, and this is such a potent conversation.
I would love if you just started by sharing what got you into doing the work that you do now.
Okay, so I, this all started for me a really long time ago. So I think that, you know, we get prepared in our life through our soul curriculum around how, you know, what we are here to teach. And I believe we first are schooled through that ourself, through this school curriculum that we're in here on the Earth School.
So for me, it's. Started at quite an early age. I got into manifestation probably when I was around 16 or 17. I was fortunate enough that I had a mother who was really into the teachings of, and I don't know, it might be a little bit before your time, I'm not sure how old you are, but I'm 44 and I was really into the teachings of Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer and, and so she was, she was really into personal development, I guess back then it was quite new agey, right?
So I tended to. Get into those teachings and books from quite an early age, and I started to, I've always been very curious, very curious human, and I started to look at how we could participate in consciously creating our own reality. And a lot of those books really inspired this. But at the time I was in university and I was a really studious.
Student and I had high ambition, so I wanted to get the best grades. And so I tried it on in seeing like, how could I co-create a reality here that I wanted to experience and achieve in schooling. So I started to do, you know, the visualizations and the manifestations and I started to you know, the affirmations and the scripting and all of those kind of techniques and.
Tools that you hear about in the manifestation world, and I started to have really great results with it and I was getting the grades that I put out there so soon, you know, it wasn't long before I realized that, okay, there's something to this and it works. And then I developed more in my connection to spirituality and my angels, and I was always interested in the wellbeing and the alternative.
Space, alternative wellness space. So I went into study massage. I became a yoga teacher and a philosophy teacher, and I went on to create yoga studios. So I've always had a fascination in. I guess you could say in the unseen realm in understanding that there is more here to this life than what we can see and touch and experience with our five senses.
I sold my business in the yoga studios a few years ago and I've really launched into, I'm a sole mentor, so supporting women to tap into their soul essence to be able to create the most miraculous life. So that's in a nutshell, kind of. What I teach and how I came into it. But it's been something that's been, an ongoing journey for probably over a good 20, 25 years, I guess, which is wild to think about that.
That is wild. I would love for you to start by sharing with the women that you work with, helping them discover that soul essence. What are some of the biggest blocks that hold them back from that deepest inner knowing?
I think that the biggest blocks have been created from our conditioning in the world, which is that we are separate from the truth of who we are.
That we are separate from love, that we are not already whole, that we're not already enough, that we're not already worthy. So you could call this the false self that we get conditioned into, or many know it as our ego self or our not self. And so we go about living a lot of our lives. Believing that in order to create something or achieve something, and this really came about with the industrial revolution and focusing on the hard work and the over efforting.
And particularly as women, like we are not designed to operate in that way. So what I teach is a paradigm of manifestation or a new template of manifestation where we are. Consciously co-creating from our truest essence, from the truth of who we are, which really in this work, it's not about trying to become someone else.
It's really about returning to the truth of who you are and removing the veils of illusion and the beliefs that tell us that we are not already, that which we are seeking, like in a nutshell. So I think the biggest block is believing that we're not that. If I was to simplify it,
that's a huge one, and I could see that creating all kinds of challenges for people.
So this is an interesting question I have for myself personally, and I know a lot of my listeners are saying thing type a high performing, high achieving big goals, big dreams. How does one distinguish between a true love of. Doing the work because they're passionate and inspired about it versus doing the work to like prove or that kind of, I'm not enough, so I'm gonna keep doing the things until I feel enough.
Because I feel like that's such an important distinction to help people make.
Yeah, it is. I think that this is really, when we start to look at the way many of us have been taught to, let's say even manifest, right, is that we do it from more of an ego space.
Like, we think that we need the car or the new house, or even the relationship or the money in the bank in order to feel a certain way, in order to feel whole, in order to feel validated, in order to feel enough. And quite often we don't even know why we are desiring the thing. Right. Maybe it's to keep up with the Joneses.
Maybe it's because society's told us that that's what we need to do. We should have a certain amount of money in the bank. We should have this job. And it's, a lot of it then is for external validation, status approval, right? So all of that is rooted. In the ego, not feeling enough, not feeling safe. And so that's what we see in a lot of a type personalities is that I need to go after it.
I need to chase it because deep down, I don't believe that I am whole and that I'm enough. So this is the opposite from what I teach, which is soul led manifestation. So. In answering your question in how do we know, I truly believe that our soul desires, right? Those desires that are placed on your heart, that are authentically yours, are there for a reason.
Are there because, and this gets a little bit quantum, but there is a version of you who's already living that reality. There is a version of you who is already aligned with that. Timeline and that you wouldn't actually have that desire if it wasn't for you, if you didn't have the capacity right now to co-create that.
So one of the things that I would, question or inquire to begin with is why is it that you desire what you desire? And we often don't look like in particularly, I mean we are in the earlyish in the new year and we start to, talk about resolutions and goal setting. And quite often we can list a whole lot of things on a piece of paper or we can do a vision board.
But if we are creating from the same person, from the same identity, I mean, this is why resolutions don't usually stick. This is why a lot of the times we can set these goals. We are not often asking the questions like, why is it? What is it that I am seeking? We think it's a thing. We think it's the thing, but that's the ego tempting us to believe that when really when we get to it and we understand like, what is my true desire?
It's not in the money in the bank, the holiday, the car, the house. We wanna feel whole. We wanna feel peace. We wanna feel freedom. So I start to reverse engineer it and go, okay, well you have access to all of that right now. If you believe that you're enough, if you believe that you're whole, then you can actually tap into those feelings right now.
And that's how we create not from the ego's wants and needs. 'cause when we are doing it from a place of wanting, we are just keeping that thing, whatever it is of circumstance or relationship, away at arm's length, we are creating a gap. Between who we are and that thing. When we believe that we are enough, when we believe that we actually have access to everything right here and right now, what we're then doing is we are creating from a place of wholeness, and that's when we become magnetic.
That's when we can really call forth from the universe, from the quantum field, that which is, for us, it's already lined up, right? We just need to start to quieten down the mind and the ego. Come back into remembering who we are so that we can access that information and line up with what I call, you know, our highest timeline or our miracle zone.
That is so beautiful. So what I'm hearing is it can be the same pursuit or the same endeavor, but on one hand someone can say, I want to build this business for the money to prove it to my parents, whatever it might be, very much an ego place. But when you do this beautiful generative work where you're generating those positive emotions and you come at it from a place of.
I'm whole, I'm blessed, I'm abundant, and now let me overflow into the world and share my gifts. They might be the similar businesses, but they're such a different energetics there.
Yeah.
So thank you for sharing that.
Yeah. It's absolutely you're spot on with that like, why do you want that?
Why do you want that thing? And we can still, it's okay to still desire. The big house or the successful business. But when we're not doing it from a place of feeling like we need that in order to feel a certain way, the energy shifts completely. And then it's like the universe is just the mirror that goes, okay, you already feel abundant, you feel successful, you feel whole.
We're gonna give you more of that, rather than, I'm feeling not enough, I'm feeling the lack. And that's why often when we are creating from that place, we might get the car, we get the house. We'll feel good for a bit. We'll get the holiday, but then we're looking for the next thing, right? The ego's, insatiable appetite.
We are then looking for like, okay, what's the next thing for me? Think? And the next, and the next. This is why the happiest people in the world are not the ones that have acquired the most, they're not the ones that have more possessions or more money. We know that, so we start, we need to start to really come home to ourselves, and I call it a journey of.
Remembering, right? Remembering the truth of who you are. And when we do this, we can actually have or create anything that we desire. I truly believe that.
And what would you say some of the most powerful steps or practices are for someone who is wanting to do this journey of remembering who they truly are?
First and foremost, getting out of your head and coming back into your heart. 'cause we access our, you know, our heart's known as our soul's chamber, and we access that, that guidance and that wisdom and that information and those heartfelt desires that are for us when we can access the heart. So a lot of the work I'll do is bringing people out of the conditioning, out of the not self, out of the mental chatter of the mind, because the mind tells you lies all the time.
The mind is gonna feed you lies all of the time, and we believe it, and that's when we get caught in this loop. So I like to bring people back into accessing their truth. When you access the truth, you become a channel and a transmission for the highest wisdom to come through you. It's less than focusing on what do I need to do and more around if I truly believed that I was enough, if I truly believed that I was whole and worthy and complete, what would feel.
Good right now. What would be that next step? So I bring people, when we come back into this remembrance and this connection to our soul essence, a lot of the time the guidance that comes through is have fun. Be joyful. Do what lights you up be playful. Right. So it's very different from a lot of the mental will say like, you gotta do hard work.
We get married to the hard work. We think if we're not achieving and accomplishing and ticking things off, it's very a person, a type personality. Then we don't deserve to feel restful or we don't deserve to play and joy, whereas actually play and pleasure and joy. That's the antidote. So it's shifting the paradigm here and it's shifting the conversation away from a lot of the fear-based teachings, which have kept us imprisoned in our mind to coming back into love and understanding like what is true here.
Does this feel good? Does this light me up? And that's the journey. Then we start to go on and it's amazing. Then what comes through in terms of guidance, in terms of business ideas, okay. Support a lot of women in creating their own business or doing like this, like launching a podcast or leading themselves.
And when we can tap into that, it's unlimited. That what comes through in terms of the guidance and the love and support for us to. Be co-creators in our life.
Mm-hmm. Thank you so much for sharing that. And what would you say some of the most common breakthroughs are that your clients tend to have?
Look, I support women all over the world to manifest things, right? And they'll come to me because they wanna manifest something, right? Whether it's a change of the job or a love relationship or whatever, and the thing that they walk away with is so much bigger and better than any of that.
It's like that becomes the byproduct that becomes the icing on the cake. But what the women. Walk away with is this sense of becoming, it's like the journey of becoming their absolute truth and their true identity. So they're no longer the woman that self sabotages or self sacrifices or self aand.
It's a journey of self-love. It's a journey of like when we can remember who we are, we can remember. Our gifts, we can remember what we are here, like our divine assignment. We are, each of us are here for a reason. If we think we don't have a purpose, then we are completely disconnected from nature because everything in nature serves a purpose.
So it's much of a, an embodiment journey women walk away with, with greater confidence in themselves, trust in the unseen and faith. And a knowingness of who they are less looking outside for approval, less needing to people please. And a lot of the adaptive qualities that we take on because we don't believe it's safe to be ourselves.
And then everything else that happens, the love relationship that comes in and the house or whatever it is, it's just the. Result, the manifestation of the vibrational match of who they become. So that's what I really see consistently, and it is always when you come into this work, the manifestation in the 3D when we see that, it's always bigger and better than what they could have imagined.
Because a lot of the time we are creating, we're imagining with our logical mind, but our logical mind is not leading us in this game. Her logic is not leading us. This gets to be illogical. It doesn't have to make logical sense, and that's when we start to play in the miraculous zone because we see things coming in that we could not have even conceptualized.
And this is a journey of like allowing yourself to receive that. So that's what I find is consistently what shows up on this journey for the women I work with, which is great.
I love that so much, especially the fact that when you do this really deep, embodied energetic work, it so often does turn out better than your small human rational mind could ever imagine.
Because we only know what we know, but there's this like vast field of Yeah. Possibility that we don't even have access to until we become the match for it. So that is very exciting.
Absolutely. I mean, we see less than 1% of reality. Like this is science. What we can see and touch and feel like with our five senses that we put, we put everything into right, it was what we believe is what we see.
And yet it's the other way around. Like the unseen realm is 99.99, nine 9% of reality. And so the work that I do is, is bringing women into a place where they can trust more than anything. And what they can't see in what is being, what's. What's being woven in the fabric of existence, what's being woven in the unseen realm.
That's not something that our mind can predict. Time and time again, I'm reminded of what a magical existence we live in and we are co-creating. Like some people will say to me, oh, I'm no good at manifestation, or I don't think I, like you are manifesting all the time. You can't not manifest because manifestation isn't something that you do.
It's the truth of who you are, right? It is. Like some people will say to me like, oh, I don't think I'm really spiritual. It's like you are because your spirit embodied here in this lifetime. And I know we can all have our different ideas and concepts and beliefs, which is great, but at the end of the day, when we come into this work, it's undeniable that we are playing in a realm of.
Limitless possibility. So it's shifting away from like what is probable to what is infinitely possible.
Absolutely. So in the world of manifestation, because you've been in this field since a teenager, which is wild. What are some of the common things you hear said about manifestation or taught about manifestation that don't actually make sense or are just kind of like lies the manifestation industry might tell someone?
I think that there is a lot of focus around mindset. Like Mindset is is great and will take you to a certain. Play, you know, to, it'll take you so far and a lot of the focus around the techniques. And I think that we then get really bogged down into the doing right again into the action piece. And the shift that I do is around, well, if you already believe that you are that right, if you already believe that you are.
The woman who is living this timeline, if you already believe that you are a multimillionaire or whatever, like what? What does that feel like? So it's shifting more, again, out of that mind into embodiment and using our feelings as a compass in using our nervous system. Like we can only attract in what we are able, what we are.
Willing and prepared and feel safe to hold what our capacity is. So quite often in the manifestation world, and again, a lot of it is focus is from a place of unworthiness or not enoughness. We're always looking at like what I can do in order to feel better, rather than seeing that our feelings are actually a portal.
And so there's, there can be a lot of bypassing that happens in the manifestation world where we just focus on all of this. I bring people back into like. What would that feel like? Our feelings are literally magnetic. They will draw from the field into our reality. So understanding like your feelings aren't your enemy, your feelings are powerful.
And the more that you can tap into that, and I call it like you might be familiar with Neville Godard's teaching and he teaches about, you know, living from that end state. Like that is the feeling state. What does that feel like? So I think more broadly in manifestation, we get so focused on the vision boards and the affirmations and like you can do all of that until you're blue in the face.
But if you are not truly believing that you're worthy of it, if you are not. Evolving your identity to be the woman who was already living on that timeline, who is receiving that? Who knows that she's whole, then you're gonna be doing all of that, and you might get some results. You might find that you're getting some manifestation results, but is it in your truest alignment, your highest unfolding?
Because what the universe has for us is so, so, so, so much bigger and grander than what we are. Putting on our vision board, basically. So in a nutshell.
Yes. It's so funny you say this because I just posted a reel and it was a little inappropriate. It was like the song, throw some a SS, but I did a reel about how throwing my a SS into my dream life worked far better than throwing my mindset into it.
Because when you do get the body involved through the emotional work, through the dance, through the somatics, that is what really starts to shift things and not because you're. Doing it simply to get the result. You're doing it because you understand how important those states are in order to make you magnetic Exactly as you said.
Yeah. And life is going to ask you to live it, to walk your talk, to walk through the fire. Right. The thing that keeps many of us from really accessing that higher timeline and manifesting what is for our soul is because we're so used to being in our comfort zone. We're so used to letting fear lead us.
I used talk about like, we often have fear in the driver's seat, and that's always gonna limit us. We're gonna let resistance be our compass. Rather than moving fear out and going, okay, I have to like, we have to be willing to take some leaps. We have to be willing to get uncomfortable and then. Let ourselves and our body and our nervous system know that this is safe.
And what we're doing then is we are expanding our capacity, we're expanding our vessel, and this is the work that I think not everybody wants to do because we just want it handed to us. We want the quick fixes. We wanna be able, and, and I always say like, if, if that's what you're after, if you're after the quick fixes and the hacks.
I'm not the teacher for you, but if you're after something that is lasting with the deep roots, where you can really flourish and you can start to co-create in a more effortless way, like we've gotta be willing to do the deeper work as well.
Yes, 100%. So Amy, this has been such an amazing conversation.
Just a few more questions. I love to get my guests to give the listeners some kind of an embodied challenge. And you've mentioned a few things already, but if you just had to give them one challenge, what would that be? Something that they can kind of do, but even something a way they can be a different way.
They can show up whatever you're feeling. Call to share.
Check in with yourself every day. Have a date with yourself, with I, with your soul or self with a capital S before you do anything else. We have to set the tone for our day because otherwise we go on autopilot from what we've done the previous days.
And this is why we stay looping in the same patterns and having the same experiences every day. So something I guide my clients or students in is like, meet yourself in the morning before you meet the world. Before you even open your eyes, and this is such a powerful, like sleep is such a powerful portal for us to reprogram our subconscious for us to create.
And I believe like the last five minutes before you go to sleep and the first. To five minutes when you awaken is when you can really set the tone, set that signal for what you wanna achieve. And this could look in a number of different ways. I guide women into how to deepen their intuition, how to start to listen to the voice of their soul.
So it might be just keeping your eyes closed, putting your hand on your heart, taking some deep breaths. And when you put your hand on your heart, you bring your energy there and you can connect with your soul essence and ask like. What do I need to know today? How would I love to feel? What would you have me do?
And you might even visualize and feel right. We need both pieces. Visualize and feel how you would love for your day to unfold. So what you're doing then is that you are consciously tuning your dial rather than being in the static, in the noise. And so many of us, when we wake first thing in the morning, we'll pick up our phone, we'll check Instagram, we'll jump into our emails.
We'll get straight into the static in the noise. Whereas you are a conscious creator, so it's time that you set the tone, you set the frequency, and the way to do that is first really, really check in and meet with your soul before you meet with anybody else. I find that's a really, really powerful practice.
That is one of the most powerful practices I've heard in a while. Thank you very much for that because there is something so pivotable, those two bookends that very end of the day and then that first part of the day. So yes, that was amazing. And then when listeners do want to learn more about you, connect with you, what are the best places for them to go?
So, my website on business is called the light place.com au. I'm based in Australia, but I see clients all over the world. My podcast is called The Abundance Club and I know you're gonna be coming onto it too, Kyla. So that's a really great place. If you wanna go and just learn more about soul embodiment and manifestation and co-creating abundance, you can go and binge episodes.
I'm also on Instagram, amy dot. Abundance Club. So you can reach out to me there, send me a DM if you wanna continue the conversation. If there's anything that spoke to you, just let me know. And there's a few different ways that you can, enter into my world if this speaks to you
well, and I'll include links to everything in the description.
So thank you so much for being here, Amy.
Thank you, Kayla. I love this conversation. Thank you so much.
