Expanded x Ep. 394 - Why Love, Intimacy, and Friendships Feel Harder Than Ever (And The Truth About Manifesting Them)
This is your season to fall in love with your life and call in the connection you truly deserve.
Are your friendships or relationships feeling unaligned, unclear, or just plain confusing? Are you doing the work but still not experiencing the depth of connection you truly crave?
Right now, we’re in the midst of a collective relationship reckoning. In this potent episode, Jessica breaks down why manifesting love, intimacy, and deep friendship can feel harder than ever—and why it’s reflecting the exact parts of you that are ready to be healed.
If you're feeling romantically adrift, unseen, or wondering why your dream partner or soul-aligned friendships haven’t arrived yet, this episode will help unlock your next step forward. It’s not just about recognizing patterns; it’s about stepping into the version of you who can say no to what no longer fits, stay regulated in the face of fear, and source your worth from within.
With real expander stories and powerful energetic reframes, this episode is a must-listen if you’re ready to deepen your relationships from a place of embodied self-love.
