EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™

To Be Magnetic™

The Expanded Podcast is the leading manifestation podcast, hosted by Lacy Phillips, founder of To Be Magnetic™ and co-hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer, Jessica Gill. It’s based on Neural Manifestation™, TBM’s unique process that’s rooted in neuroscience, psychology, epigenetics, and energetics– with a little spirituality sprinkled on top. While Expanded ranks as one of the best spiritual podcasts, our focus is really on the science and psychology behind manifestation. Our goal is to normalize the practice of manifestation and empower you to get into the driver's seat of your life in order to manifest the experiences, relationships, and things that most align with your authenticity. We cover topics like inner child healing, shadow work, boundaries, how to reprogram your subconscious mind (and why this is so important), clarity, how to manifest dreams, create magnetism, and harness intuition. Part of our manifestation process entails “expanding” past your limiting subconscious beliefs. So, by tuning into this podcast with interviews from experts, thought leaders, spiritual teachers, scientists, and those with Neural Manifestation™ success stories, you are starting the process of “Expanding” your subconscious in order to ‘see to believe’ that anything you desire is possible. And by pressing play, the process begins! Create your daily manifestation practice in The Pathway, our all-access workshop membership, found on tobemagnetic.com.

    Ep. 401 - Navigating Loss, Surrender, and the Path Home to Yourself: The Process with Carly Ottaway

    This week, we're sitting down with Carly Ottaway—Pathway member and author of Coming Home—to explore the profound transformation that emerges from life's most destabilizing moments. From navigating fertility struggles to losing her home in a fire, Carly opens up about how surrender, self-trust, and deep inner work became her greatest anchors through the unthinkable.

    Together, they unpack the illusion of control, the healing power of authenticity, and how speaking from the heart unlocks your most magnetic self. This conversation is a reminder that even in your darkest chapters, you are being guided toward something more aligned, expansive, and true.

    If you've ever felt like everything is falling apart, this episode will show you how it might actually be falling into place. And if you’re ready to start understanding your patterning, now is the time to take advantage of our Pathway Membership Spring Sale. $30/month $23/month now until April 5th at 11:59 PST.

    Ep. 400 - How to Regulate Your Nervous System to Hold More Abundance

    You’re fine…so why do you feel stuck? Where is the fear coming from, even when you know you’re safe? 

    The truth is, lasting change requires more than mindset work alone. It means training your nervous system to build new associations with things that once felt uncertain or threatening.

    Today, Lacy, Jessica, and somatic expert Janelle unpack the true role of the nervous system in manifestation. They explore how your body's sense of safety determines when to shut down and protect you from potential threats—and when to expand, receive, and take aligned action towards your goals. Plus, the small, doable steps ("small steppies") that lead you back to yourself.

    If you've ever felt stuck despite doing all the inner work, this episode is your roadmap back to safety, embodiment, and sustainable growth.

    Ep. 399 - Why You Can't Manifest Your Way Out of an Unhealed Nervous System with Jill Wintersteen of Spirit Daughter

    What if the moments that completely unravel your life are actually the ones that reveal your purpose?

    This week, Jessica sits down with Spirit Daughter founder Jill Wintersteen for the untold story behind her spiritual work. Known for her astrology insights, moon rituals, and intuitive teachings, Jill opens up about the chaotic chapter that shaped it all: a federal investigation connected to her partner, life under constant fear, and what it took to rebuild from rock bottom.

    Through breathwork, meditation, and deep inner healing, Jill shares how nervous system regulation, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and forgiveness moved her from survival mode into alignment with her intuition. As she released shame and healed old relationship patterns, she found her purpose, built Spirit Daughter, and manifested the grounded partnership she once thought was impossible.

    If manifestation feels clear in theory but difficult in practice, this episode explores why tending to your nervous system and working with your protector parts may be the key to finally expanding into the life you want.

    Ep. 398 - How to Come Home to Yourself When Everything Falls Apart: The Process with Allie Carr

    We’ve never done an episode quite like this before.

    We sat down with writer and creative Allie Carr—twice. In October 2025, she was just beginning to emerge from a really difficult chapter. When we spoke again in February 2026, her spark for life was fully back, and the seeds she had planted were unfolding in real time.

    In the months between, Allie moved through a Saturn return, career pivots, financial uncertainty, and a deep shedding of who she used to be. What looked like falling apart was actually falling into place.

    This conversation is a reminder that manifestation often has a full arc: the breakdown, the becoming, and the moment it all clicks. If you’re in your own hard season right now, this episode is your life raft.

    Ep. 397 - Why Your Nervous System Is Blocking Your Manifestation with Sarah Baldwin

    What if your core wounds aren't things to conquer, but parts of yourself that just need to be seen, heard, and understood? And what if the reason manifestation feels effortless in your imagination but impossible in action has nothing to do with motivation…and everything to do with your nervous system?

    This week, Jessica sits down with somatic therapist and parts work expert Sarah Baldwin for a conversation that will completely reframe how you understand manifestation. Together, they explore why your nervous system calls the shots on what you attract, and how the self-protective patterns you developed as a child are quietly keeping you from stepping into your purpose, relationships, visibility, and expansion as an adult.

    Using Somatic Experiencing & Internal Family Systems (IFS) and spiritual practices, Sarah explains how our minds are made up of different "parts" — inner voices or emotional states, each with their own fears and roles. The parts that learned to protect you in childhood don't disappear; they keep running in the background, quietly shaping what you believe you're allowed to have. Unblocking starts with getting curious about those parts rather than fighting them, and learning to become a loving, attuned parent to your inner child. With nervous system regulation and parts work, you'll move through fear without forcing it, gradually expanding your capacity to hold more goodness.

    If manifestation feels clear in theory but sticky in practice, this episode will show you why, and guide you in softening the walls that have been keeping you from the life you've been waiting for.

    Ep. 396 - Releasing Fear of Success and Manifesting Her Role in Apple TV's Pluribus: The Process with Karolina Wydra

    What if the dream feels “too big” because you haven’t built the capacity to hold it yet? What if success isn’t missing you—but waiting for you to feel safe enough to receive it? 

    This week, Jessica sits down with actress Karolina Wydra (Pluribus, Sneaky Pete) to talk about the long game of manifestation. From growing up in communist Poland and internalizing scarcity and suppression, to stepping away from acting at 39 to become a mother, Karolina’s story is one of surrender, self-trust, and divine timing. It’s a true testimony to something central at TBM: what is meant for you will not miss you. After years of inner work, Karolina landed a life-changing role on Pluribus, fulfilling a longtime manifestation of working with Vince Gilligan.

    Through EMDR, nervous system regulation, Expanders, journaling, and radical honesty with herself, she shares how subconscious reprogramming helped her release the belief that her dreams were “too big” and instead expand her capacity to receive them.

    If you’ve ever feared success as much as failure, this conversation is a reminder that manifestation isn’t about forcing—it’s about becoming safe enough to hold what you’ve been calling in.

    Ep. 395 - The Old Way Is Collapsing—Here’s How to Manifest Through the Shift

    Feeling like the wheels are coming off your life—or the world?

    The Year of the Fire Horse is here, and the old paradigm is dissolving fast. For some, it feels like rock bottom. For others, a slow unraveling. This week, Lacy and Jessica unpack the collective stripping, ego deaths, and visibility fears rising to the surface—and why this acceleration is actually a portal into your most authentic self.

    If you’ve been stuck in perfectionism, burned out by optimization culture, or clear on your purpose but unable to move, this episode unpacks what’s happening beneath the surface. Through the lens of TBM tools, human design, Chinese astrology, and nervous system regulation, they explain why hustle, formulas, and “matrix authenticity” won’t carry you into the new paradigm—but why a more aligned, authentic approach will.

    This season isn’t about fear. It’s about releasing what no longer fits so something truer can emerge. The real question is: are you ready to stop performing and step into your true purpose?

    Ep. 393 - Why You Feel Disconnected From Your Intuition (And How to Reclaim It) with Taylor Paige

    What if the real reason you can’t hear your intuition is that there hasn’t been enough space to listen?

    If your intuition feels quiet (or chaotic) you’re not alone. In this potent episode, Jessica welcomes back medium and spiritual teacher Taylor Paige for an expansive conversation on what it truly takes to connect with your intuitive gifts in our fast-paced, overstimulated world.

    Together, they explore why nervous system regulation is the gateway to intuition and spiritual awakening, how “clearing the cobwebs” of mental noise is a non-negotiable step, and how healing the spirit wound allows you to reclaim your power as your own oracle. Taylor shares the link between nervous system work, intuition, and manifestation, and reminds us that intuition isn’t something a select few are born with. It’s something we all carry. If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t have intuition,” this conversation gently invites you to reconsider that limiting belief.

    From getting comfortable with silence, allowing emotions to move through you, and understanding how your healing ripples outward, to realizing that the pings and downloads you’ve been waiting for may have been knocking all along, there’s something in this conversation meant to meet you exactly where you are.

    Ep. 392 - How to Change Your Life: TBM Manifestation Stories

    Need a reminder of what’s possible, and that you’re in beautiful company doing this work? This episode is packed with expanders to inspire your path forward.

    Expansion serves a very specific purpose: to rewire neural pathways, so that you can see what’s possible before your subconscious believes it’s possible for you. (It’s the very reason this podcast is called Expanded!) And expansion is everywhere: through friends, parents, peers, public figures, and even people you’ve never met. 

    Today, we hear powerful manifestation stories from the Money Challenge and Return to Magic Challenge that span inner child healing, resilience through rock bottoms, magnetic parenting, and a deeper embrace of magic. These real-life testimonials reveal how surrender, nervous system safety, and authentic alignment create lasting change.

    Your mantra this week comes from an expander in this episode: “What I’m calling in is still coming.”

    Stay present. The magic is already here. Your greatest manifestations start with your authenticity.

    Ep. 391 - Why Journaling Actually Works: Ritual, Healing, and Clarity with Tara Schuster

    Are you overthinking…or under-processing? What if reflection was the missing piece to becoming (and receiving) everything you’ve ever wanted?

    Today, Tara Schuster returns to the Expanded Podcast to explore one of the most impactful healing modalities there is: journaling. Her latest book, This Journal F*cking Works, offers a science-backed and historical look at why journaling is so powerful, woven together with humor and Tara’s own journey of rewriting internal narratives to break free from toxic, repetitive thought loops. It’s an invitation to start “DMing with your soul” and to open up neural pathways of self-understanding, emotional processing, and healing.

    Jessica and Tara unpack why ritual matters. Not everything is about maximizing habits, productivity, or “doing it right.” Real transformation often comes from giving your brain space to process lived experience: to be honest, imperfect, and fully human. With this outlook, journaling becomes a bridge between science and intuition, seamlessly supporting your own TBM and personal growth practice.

    This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in mental loops, wants a grounded and research-backed way to connect more deeply with intuition, and yearns to understand who they are at their core.
