Her books are portals—infused with love, loss, magic, and memory.

Her journey began with a bestselling debut novel and has since grown into a body of work that bridges soul and story.

Why You’re Not Manifesting What You Want (Ep. 80)

Why You’re Not Manifesting What You Want (Ep. 80)

By |

On this episode, host Christine Luken challenges the tired “think positive and money will follow” narrative and offers actionable steps tailored for business owners in high-stakes fields. She introduces the concept of the emotional vibration scale which is a scientifically grounded approach that reframes how you show up for your business, your money, and your goals.

You’ll learn why forcing optimism or “delusional affirmations” can backfire, especially when you’re navigating real stress, financial setbacks, or growth plateaus. Instead, Christine walks you through practical tools (like bridge mantras and feel-good rituals) that restore emotional stability, so you can make sound decisions, attract ideal clients, and avoid burning out.

Most importantly, she underscores the importance of not touching key money decisions when you’re stressed or triggered because emotional clarity is as vital as financial certainty.

Christine discusses:

  • Why manifestation advice often backfires.
  • Why some affirmations don’t work.
  • How to raise your emotional vibration.
  • Using “bridge mantras” to shift out of stress, self-doubt and burnout.
  • Low vs. high energy vibration emotions and their impact on manifestations.
