In a world obsessed with manifestation, vision boards, and “calling in your soulmate,” many women have been taught that if they just think the right thoughts, visualize the right partner, or repeat the right affirmations, love will magically appear.
But what if this approach is actually keeping you stuck?
In this episode of The New Truth, Kate explores the hidden danger of trying to manifest love - and why the manifestation mindset can quietly reinforce the very patterns that block real intimacy.
Instead of creating genuine connection, many manifestation practices can keep women trapped in fantasy, hyper-focus on a specific person, or disconnected from the deeper inner work required for true partnership.
Kate shares a powerful reframe on what actually creates the conditions for love to flourish - and why becoming the woman who can receive real love is far more important than trying to energetically “attract” it.
This conversation invites you to shift from control and projection into embodiment, self-responsibility, and emotional maturity - the real foundations of thriving partnership.
If you’ve ever found yourself vision-boarding your future partner, obsessing over signs from the universe, or wondering why love still hasn’t arrived despite doing “all the work,” this episode will offer a refreshing and deeply empowering perspective.
Because real love isn’t something you manifest from your mind. It’s something that emerges when you come home to yourself.

Become the woman who can hold a love so big that
Kate Harlow:you desire be that love, pour that love into yourself, date
Kate Harlow:yourself, romance yourself. Treat yourself like a queen.
Kate Harlow:Treat yourself like a sacred being. Treat yourself like the
Kate Harlow:most precious jewel on planet Earth, right? Treat yourself
Kate Harlow:like you'd treat your children. Treat yourself with love and
Kate Harlow:reverence, and then you'll become a match to it. And then
Kate Harlow:you don't have to even make a vision board. You don't have to
Kate Harlow:figure out from your mind what you think you want. You'll just
Kate Harlow:be in a coffee shop one day having a conversation with
Kate Harlow:someone and be like, Oh my God, I feel traction. Like I've even
Kate Harlow:had friends go on this path, and they've found they fell in love
Kate Harlow:with a woman, and they weren't even a lesbian before, and they
Kate Harlow:just were like, Oh my God, this frequency and vibration is so
Kate Harlow:beautiful. So it's like, you have no idea what your soul is
Kate Harlow:actually meant to experience. So why waste your time?
Kate Harlow:Hello, beautiful. Kate Harlow, here, welcome to the new truth.
Kate Harlow:I am very happy to be here, I have, I feel like I haven't been
Kate Harlow:here in a while, but I guess I've been here every week. I
Kate Harlow:just had a bunch of episodes pre recorded, and because I've been
Kate Harlow:so busy the last few months, as you know, my mom and dad were
Kate Harlow:here, and then I had about a week in Nairobi turnaround time,
Kate Harlow:and then I went back to olopengi for Valentine's weekend and and
Kate Harlow:then a bunch of heroines from the heroin community who came to
Kate Harlow:Greece with me last year came and did a retreat with me here
Kate Harlow:in Kenya at olupengi. So it's been a very busy time. We had a
Kate Harlow:really beautiful retreat, really deep. I didn't realize that I
Kate Harlow:planned it on the exact days of the Eclipse. So they were all
Kate Harlow:landing in Nairobi on the solar eclipse. One of the ladies
Kate Harlow:didn't make it. She went back to Australia because Doha airport
Kate Harlow:was closed, which is closed again, because of what's
Kate Harlow:happening in the Middle East. I mean, you just can't make this
Kate Harlow:stuff up. And the rest of the women were concerned their
Kate Harlow:flights weren't going to land because the airport in Nairobi
Kate Harlow:was on strike. It like literally everything that could possibly
Kate Harlow:happen happened and and yet, five out of the six ladies made
Kate Harlow:it to olapenge, and we had a very magical, beautiful, deep,
Kate Harlow:intense time, which was so symbolic of the time the
Kate Harlow:Eclipse, it even had, we had two days of rain. It had been in
Kate Harlow:drought. The farm had been in drought so bad that the cows
Kate Harlow:weren't even producing milk. So there was no butter on the farm.
Kate Harlow:And Ola pangi grows all their own vegetables and fruit and and
Kate Harlow:so right before they got there, that was what was happening. And
Kate Harlow:then a few days in, it started torrential downpouring for a
Kate Harlow:couple of days. So yeah, it was beautiful and magical, and all
Kate Harlow:of the all of the layers of the human experience packed into a
Kate Harlow:nine day retreat. So I am now back in Nairobi, and I'm back in
Kate Harlow:my cottage. I'm only here for a few weeks. I head back to Greece
Kate Harlow:soon for six weeks, but I'm enjoying my cottage now. There's
Kate Harlow:a heroine right now who's coming over with her husband and her
Kate Harlow:two kids. They flew over from Texas before the retreat
Kate Harlow:started, or after the retreat, and I'm seeing them, hanging out
Kate Harlow:with them for the day at the cottage, and then we're going
Kate Harlow:for dinner tonight, a big group of us. So life is full and good
Kate Harlow:and but I just wanted to speak to the times. You know, the
Kate Harlow:times are intense, like I say always. It seems like it's just
Kate Harlow:now, but it does seem to be even astrologically that it the
Kate Harlow:systems, the powers that be, the old structures, are kind of
Kate Harlow:crumbling, and they're becoming louder and more intense, and
Kate Harlow:there's more
Kate Harlow:there's a lot happening. There's a lot of energy right now. And
Kate Harlow:so I say that because I noticed, you know, a couple of days ago,
Kate Harlow:I think I was tired from the retreats, and I had been so
Kate Harlow:busy, and I had lots of calls when I got back, but I noticed
Kate Harlow:this was two nights ago. I started by the end of the day
Kate Harlow:just feeling really down. And before bed, I was talking to my
Kate Harlow:bestie on the phone, and I was crying, and I was like, why are
Kate Harlow:we here? What are we doing? Like, what is this human
Kate Harlow:experience? And I find when I'm in a contracted state, that's
Kate Harlow:really where my mind goes, like, what is the point of all of
Kate Harlow:this? And I realized that some of that energy came from being I
Kate Harlow:wasn't on Facebook very much, but I had seen a whole bunch of
Kate Harlow:posts about all this stuff happening in the world, and I so
Kate Harlow:I went, I hung up the phone with my bestie at about 8:30pm and I
Kate Harlow:went to bed, and I was like, Okay, I'm going to talk to my
Kate Harlow:angels, and so I put my hands on my body, my my I've talked about
Kate Harlow:this before recently, how I think of my hands as my heroine,
Kate Harlow:right, the sovereign woman, the loving Divine Mother to to the
Kate Harlow:little girl, to my nervous system, to my body. So I put my
Kate Harlow:hands on my body, and I just did some breathing and really
Kate Harlow:feeling connected to.
Kate Harlow:And you know, I think back to Abraham Hicks, who's been one of
Kate Harlow:the original teachers of the law of attraction. She's like, what
Kate Harlow:you put into your subconscious mind matters so much so why
Kate Harlow:would you ever consume anything that feeds fear and that
Kate Harlow:stresses your nervous system out, right? We have enough
Kate Harlow:stress already. So, you know, obviously always take or leave
Kate Harlow:everything I say, but this is just a suggestion or an
Kate Harlow:invitation is to actually look at like, Wait, what am I
Kate Harlow:consuming that's actually creating more anxiety
Kate Harlow:subconsciously, even if it's superficial, shows like
Kate Harlow:Desperate Housewives. Is not even a thing anymore. What's it
Kate Harlow:called? Not Desperate Housewives, I don't know, all
Kate Harlow:those fake shows like, are you consuming a fantasy love like,
Kate Harlow:what are you consuming? What are you doing with your spare time?
Kate Harlow:And maybe spend a little bit more time meditating, and, you
Kate Harlow:know, doing breath work and dancing and singing, and
Kate Harlow:actually like moving your frequency and shifting your
Kate Harlow:frequency into a higher vibration, so that that's
Kate Harlow:actually the version of yourself you're bringing into the world.
Kate Harlow:Because even though there is so much crazy shit happening right
Kate Harlow:now, there's so much beauty and magic and creativity and
Kate Harlow:innovation happening too, right? So you get to choose to be the
Kate Harlow:CO creator with the universe of your life, or to be the CO
Kate Harlow:creator with the, you know, these systems and structures
Kate Harlow:that are so outdated, that are so repressive, that are so
Kate Harlow:horrible, that are keeping people in deep, deep, deep,
Kate Harlow:deep, deep suffering. We have, we have choice. We have so many
Kate Harlow:options here. And of course, you're listening to the new
Kate Harlow:truth, so you're already your soul is already curious and
Kate Harlow:exploring for more expansive ways of being. So that's where
Kate Harlow:I'll start today. Because, yeah, just like, I think I feel like
Kate Harlow:it was divine that I had that moment the other night. Because
Kate Harlow:it's like, I realized, okay, I could just feel it be with the
Kate Harlow:feeling. It's not like I tried to get rid of it or numb it. I
Kate Harlow:just laid in bed and put my hands on my body, and I felt it
Kate Harlow:fully, and I let myself vent the story and the feeling to my
Kate Harlow:bestie, and I was able to alchemize the feeling and come
Kate Harlow:back into magical flow, you know. And the next day, I had a
Kate Harlow:meeting about the Okinawa retreat with Farhad and Akiko,
Kate Harlow:my Japanese healer, who I will have on the podcast soon. I had
Kate Harlow:Farhad on New Year's around New Year's. So if you haven't heard
Kate Harlow:that mess that episode, go back. But we are full force, full
Kate Harlow:steam ahead, planning the most luxurious, epic retreat in
Kate Harlow:Okinawa and then Kyoto in Japan, and it's going to be
Kate Harlow:extraordinary, and it's all about frequency and vibration.
Kate Harlow:The whole theme of the retreat is about owning, maintaining,
Kate Harlow:taking responsibility and activating the highest
Kate Harlow:frequencies inside of yourself, and having devotional practices
Kate Harlow:and commitment to activating the highest frequency that you could
Kate Harlow:possibly be in. And you know, when the human self is there,
Kate Harlow:and your small self is there, feeling it and letting yourself
Kate Harlow:move the energy of the feeling, so you can come back to that
Kate Harlow:state of high frequency and plug into the quantum field and
Kate Harlow:experience a completely different reality, while the
Kate Harlow:world, you know, is supposedly, quote, unquote, on fire, right?
Kate Harlow:You can, and that's when, and there, there are people out
Kate Harlow:there who are like, Oh, but then you're ignoring what's
Kate Harlow:happening. No, you're not. You're being the change in the
Kate Harlow:world you wish to see, right? If we're all just in fear, fighting
Kate Harlow:the problem and and discussing all of the fucked up stuff
Kate Harlow:that's happening on planet Earth, who's shifting the
Kate Harlow:vibration, like what we're just going to get more fear and more
Kate Harlow:struggle and more suffering and more pain. So there is something
Kate Harlow:you can do by being different. And I honestly, I think that's
Kate Harlow:one of the best quotes of all time. Be the change in the world
Kate Harlow:you wish to see by Gandhi. Like, no matter what is happening, you
Kate Harlow:can find that place of peace and groundedness and calmness and
Kate Harlow:centeredness inside of you. So I wasn't planning on starting
Kate Harlow:there, but I guess I never really have a plan other than i
Kate Harlow:i come up with a title and take a few notes before I hit record,
Kate Harlow:but that's been really present for me right now, and
Kate Harlow:About the word manifestation for a long time, but it's not the
Kate Harlow:word, it's how we're taught to manifest. And you know, over the
Kate Harlow:years of working with women, especially around love, like, Oh
Kate Harlow:my God, how much do we want to control it? Right? Like love and
Kate Harlow:relationships as women nurture nature, like we are relational
Kate Harlow:beings, so on a soul level and on a heart level. Women, I think
Kate Harlow:because we're more emotional, connected to our intuition and
Kate Harlow:our hearts, and we're community oriented, we're relational,
Kate Harlow:there is a deep desire to experience love and to be in
Kate Harlow:partnership for women. And you know, then on top of that, it's
Kate Harlow:also our programming that, like, we only have value for a
Kate Harlow:relationship and if we're married and if we're not,
Kate Harlow:there's something wrong with us, and you know that that's the
Kate Harlow:only option for women. So yes, it's our nature, and it's how
Kate Harlow:we've been nurtured as well. It's how we've been conditioned
Kate Harlow:and programmed to believe that we need to be in partnership so
Kate Harlow:and and also underneath that, it is this belief that there's
Kate Harlow:something wrong with us if we don't have a partner. And so
Kate Harlow:this idea of manifesting love, what I've noticed over the years
Kate Harlow:and why I feel resistant to the word or to the practice of
Kate Harlow:manifestation is because it's often when people are trying to
Kate Harlow:quote, unquote, manifest, it is actually the saboteur, ego mind,
Kate Harlow:that underneath your saboteur, 100% of the time is a little
Kate Harlow:girl, wounded, little girl who is doesn't feel good enough,
Kate Harlow:doesn't feel lovable, doesn't feel worthy, doesn't belong.
Kate Harlow:That part of you, if she's trying to manifest a partner or
Kate Harlow:a husband or a love, and she's trying to control it, right?
Kate Harlow:That's what happens most of the time. Now, the thing that I
Kate Harlow:heard Alan Watts talk about the other day, and my friend Leah is
Kate Harlow:also
Kate Harlow:and every single time I ever went to Europe or watched a
Kate Harlow:European movie. So actually, I forgot about this till this
Kate Harlow:moment, when I was in high school. I used to be obsessed
Kate Harlow:with foreign films. Every time I say that, people think I say
Kate Harlow:porn. I never watched porn. Actually, I've never, ever got
Kate Harlow:into porn, but foreign films. So French movies, Italian movies,
Kate Harlow:they were always European, right? So there was this like
Kate Harlow:European soul inside of me, and it was a desire, right? And when
Kate Harlow:I was in Vancouver, I love going to little, tiny hole in the
Kate Harlow:wall, restaurants that felt European. My favorite Taverna
Kate Harlow:for or not, Taverna, tapas place for a long time, was called
Kate Harlow:Espana, and it was like, totally Spanish tapas down the street
Kate Harlow:from my house, so cute. And nook, this little, tiny Italian
Kate Harlow:place, and there were all these, like little, tiny hole in the
Kate Harlow:walls that felt like Europe. So I wasn't there in Vancouver,
Kate Harlow:going, how am I going to move to Europe? I got to manifest it. I
Kate Harlow:got to put it on my board. I got to control it. I got to meditate
Kate Harlow:on I got to make it happen, right? Like it's only our ego
Kate Harlow:mind and the little girl who's afraid that something amazing
Kate Harlow:isn't going to happen, like love's never going to come, mem
Kate Harlow:moving to Europe's never going to happen, that it's only a
Kate Harlow:fearful part of us that doesn't trust the unfolding of life. But
Kate Harlow:how that actually happened is I lived like a European soul in
Kate Harlow:Canada, and then when I started my own business, my bestie at
Kate Harlow:the time was like, So where would you do your first retreat
Kate Harlow:like, what feels like the essence of what you're teaching?
Kate Harlow:And I had developed the expanded love method. I developed the
Kate Harlow:saboteur and heroin. And I was like, oh, Italy. And I just
Kate Harlow:thought, pleasure like that. It's all about helping women
Kate Harlow:remember who they are and access their pleasure and their
Kate Harlow:feelings and their heart and their intuition and all of these
Kate Harlow:things. So Italy. And she was like, fabulous. Go look for
Kate Harlow:venues. So I went on Airbnb, and I found the first place, which
Kate Harlow:was in Bologna, just outside bologna. And then what led me to
Kate Harlow:Greece was not my mind. It was I was looking for an Airbnb that
Kate Harlow:had more rooms than the one in Italy for a certain like, within
Kate Harlow:a certain price range. And I was trying to find the perfect
Kate Harlow:Airbnb. And then one was revealed in Mykonos, in Greece.
Kate Harlow:And I was like, Oh, I've never been to Mykonos. I've been to
Kate Harlow:Greece. I loved Greece, so I started going to Mykonos once a
Kate Harlow:year, and then eventually twice a year for the immersion. And
Kate Harlow:then in 2021 or 2019 I discovered the Corti estate,
Kate Harlow:right before covid. Went, did a retreat there, as a participant
Kate Harlow:at my bestie Marianas retreat, had a magical time. As soon as I
Kate Harlow:got to korti estate in Corfu, I got out of the taxi, and I
Kate Harlow:looked at the land, and I cried, and I was like, Oh, my God, the
Kate Harlow:immersion has to happen here. This is where the and I hadn't
Kate Harlow:even seen it yet. I literally just like, stood on the land,
Kate Harlow:saw the view of the sea and the the the beauty of the property,
Kate Harlow:and I was just like, wow, this is where the immersion needs to
Kate Harlow:be. And sure enough, the next year, well, after covid, 2021,
Kate Harlow:two immersions happened, and now they all happen at cortia state.
Kate Harlow:So you see, like I didn't have to control any of it. I didn't
Kate Harlow:have to manifest any of it. I'm not sitting on a cushion going,
Kate Harlow:where's the perfect place to do the immersion, like, send it to
Kate Harlow:me. I need to move to Greece. Like I moved to Greece on a
Kate Harlow:whim, right? And then Africa wasn't even on my radar, and I
Kate Harlow:thought about it actually, right before recording today. My best
Kate Harlow:friend when I was I've talked a lot about best friends today,
Kate Harlow:but my best friend.
Kate Harlow:From like two years old till the end of high school or early 20s,
Kate Harlow:um, she went to Tanzania when we were teenagers with her rich
Kate Harlow:aunt and uncle. So I think I associated because they went on
Kate Harlow:this extravagant Safari trip, stayed in these glamping tents,
Kate Harlow:and it was this like crazy experience with her very, very,
Kate Harlow:very wealthy aunt and uncle and cousins. And I was like, and
Kate Harlow:they're from Beverly Hills. And I was like, Okay, I'm never
Kate Harlow:going there. Like, I remember being like, God, this is so
Kate Harlow:cool. Look at these pictures. Like, look at the elephants and
Kate Harlow:giraffes. Oh my gosh, how amazing. But I never thought
Kate Harlow:that I was gonna go there, because in my mind, I just okay.
Kate Harlow:Africa's very expensive, if you do come here Kenya, having like,
Kate Harlow:safaris and and traveling around Kenya, my dad almost had a heart
Kate Harlow:attack after they just did their trip and got the bill at the
Kate Harlow:end. It is very expensive. However, I built a life where I
Kate Harlow:could actually come here, and then I moved here. Not
Kate Harlow:everything is expensive, but, but it's a little bit different
Kate Harlow:when you live here, except for, like, vitamins and, you know,
Kate Harlow:certain things that certain luxuries from the Western world
Kate Harlow:that are really expensive. But regardless, Isn't that wild that
Kate Harlow:as a teenager, she was like, going on this Safari, and I
Kate Harlow:remember being like, God, it's so cool. I wish I had a rich
Kate Harlow:family. Maybe they'll take me one day, like, maybe I can go
Kate Harlow:with them, and here I am, right. It's like I didn't need to, and
Kate Harlow:I didn't sit manifest going to Africa and go having an
Kate Harlow:experience and, like, none of it. And so let's talk about
Kate Harlow:love. You know, I just think, Oh, my God, I have so much to
Kate Harlow:say. I feel like this episode could be really love, but when
Kate Harlow:we oh, so my friend Leah was talking about this idea of the
Kate Harlow:law of reception, it's like it's not the law of manifestation.
Kate Harlow:It's law of reception. We have to learn to be receptive to a
Kate Harlow:life that feels good. We have to learn to be receptive to being
Kate Harlow:able to receive. How many women are trying to get the love of
Kate Harlow:their life, and then they do, they attract a great guy and a
Kate Harlow:great partner, and then it's not enough, right? After a couple
Kate Harlow:months, couple years, it's not enough. And now they're not
Kate Harlow:having sex, and now they're thinking it's something over
Kate Harlow:there, or they need another thing, or they need to have
Kate Harlow:babies, or they need to, like, your mind will never be satiated
Kate Harlow:when that's a part of you trying to control what you have, and so
Kate Harlow:where we actually need to focus is learning how to receive
Kate Harlow:pleasure, learning how to receive love by starting with
Kate Harlow:giving it to yourself, right? That's what's important. That's
Kate Harlow:what's needed. We don't need to make a vision board and control
Kate Harlow:what our story looks like. Do you know that even, like right
Kate Harlow:now, inside of yourself, you think you have things that you
Kate Harlow:desire, but so many of those desires are actually the
Kate Harlow:program. So many of those desires are who you've been
Kate Harlow:taught to be and what you've been taught to want, even to the
Kate Harlow:even down to the like, what type of man you've been taught if
Kate Harlow:you're if you're heterosexual, what type of man you've been
Kate Harlow:taught to want, right? And what type, what he should look like,
Kate Harlow:what he should be like, what like even that's a program, even
Kate Harlow:in the modern world, in the conscious spiritual realm, now,
Kate Harlow:it's a conscious man who's highly masculine, and he's, he
Kate Harlow:can hold space for my feelings, and he's on purpose, and he
Kate Harlow:makes a lot of money, and he's this, and he's that, and the
Kate Harlow:other this, when you are living from your soul, that is going to
Kate Harlow:go out the window. That's what I'm experiencing, like who I'm
Kate Harlow:attracted to. Now, nothing I was attracted to before is what I'm
Kate Harlow:attracted to now, from my heart and soul, from my body. It is
Kate Harlow:soul energy connection that I'm attracted to. It is someone's
Kate Harlow:beingness that I'm attracted to. And yes, of course, like
Kate Harlow:they're, they're, you know, I think of this one friend I have
Kate Harlow:who I just adore. I love being around him. I love talking with
Kate Harlow:him. He's also entrepreneurial. He's, you know, super deep and
Kate Harlow:insightful and playful and light. And it's like, but he's a
Kate Harlow:match to the frequency of who I am. So that's why I feel
Kate Harlow:attraction. It's like, oh my gosh, it feels so good to hang
Kate Harlow:with you. Rather than before, I'd be like, I'm on Bumble
Kate Harlow:trying to find a guy that, you know, that I could go on a date
Kate Harlow:with, that I could feel, you know, it, it's like trying to
Kate Harlow:get the thing versus being the thing. And then life brings you
Kate Harlow:energetic matches, like all of the friends I've made here,
Kate Harlow:there's a frequency match, and then it just feels so satiating
Kate Harlow:and so inspiring and so amazing. But what I'm attracted to now is
Kate Harlow:like night and day to what I was attracted to before, but before,
Kate Harlow:in retrospect, I can see so clearly that it wasn't even
Kate Harlow:attraction. It was stories in my mind of what I thought I was
Kate Harlow:supposed to want, even to the degree of me staying and this is
Kate Harlow:not that long ago, like when did Jeff and I break up? 2021 I
Kate Harlow:stayed in that relationship for a long time. Covid slowed it
Kate Harlow:down. I care about. Deeply. He was a dear friend of mine, but
Kate Harlow:there was a part of me that was like, somebody else is going to
Kate Harlow:want him. He's a successful entrepreneur. He has a Michelin
Kate Harlow:restaurant. He wasn't Michelin at the time, but there was still
Kate Harlow:a part of me that was afraid to let go of that. And it's so
Kate Harlow:interesting. I don't think I've ever said that out loud. There
Kate Harlow:was a part of me that I secretly was like, I can't let go of
Kate Harlow:this. Like, this is good on paper.
Kate Harlow:Stuff is good on paper. He's an amazing human. This is not about
Kate Harlow:him being not a great guy. But I had outgrown the relationship.
Kate Harlow:It served its purpose, which was US stepping into our purposes.
Kate Harlow:That was the purpose of our relationship. I outgrew it, and
Kate Harlow:then a small part of me held on until I moved to Greece, and
Kate Harlow:then I moved to Greece, and it was like, Oh, my God. What was I
Kate Harlow:holding on to a piece of paper that said this man is like a
Kate Harlow:catch, based on societal standards of what a catch is,
Kate Harlow:versus like living this unscripted, unplanned,
Kate Harlow:unconventional life, where my heart and soul are alive and
Kate Harlow:happy and free,
Kate Harlow:tand now getting to see who I'm attracted to, and it's like, oh
Kate Harlow:my god. Just beautiful people that have amazing hearts, and we
Kate Harlow:have beautiful soul energy and connection. And it's so special.
Kate Harlow:And it's like, whoa. It's so different. It's a feeling. It's
Kate Harlow:not a story, it's not a checklist anymore. So coming
Kate Harlow:back to trying to manifest love, the danger is your mind is
Kate Harlow:sneaky. She will pretend to be your soul. She will pretend to
Kate Harlow:be your heroine. She will pretend to be the sovereign
Kate Harlow:woman, and she will tell you what she wants and when she
Kate Harlow:wants it, and what the timeline is, and she'll have
Kate Harlow:expectations, which means, then you go on dates, then you have
Kate Harlow:expectations, and you're measuring against your quote,
Kate Harlow:unquote manifestation checklist, which is the same thing as the
Kate Harlow:checklist you had before, right? Might be more spiritual language
Kate Harlow:or whatever, but it's like the same thing, like you do not have
Kate Harlow:to control the kind of person you're with. When you're living
Kate Harlow:from your heart and soul, you'll be a magnet to everyone that's
Kate Harlow:aligned with your heart and soul, and that's going to feel
Kate Harlow:so much better than the guy with the nice car, with the big bank
Kate Harlow:account, who's chivalrous, who opens the door, who's handsome
Kate Harlow:and tall and, like, fun, like, all these things you think you
Kate Harlow:want, right? And you get that, and you're like, Okay, this is
Kate Harlow:it. I gotta, like, lock this down, because this is what I
Kate Harlow:manifested. It's like, what is Matt, what? Why do you need to
Kate Harlow:control where you're going? That's what. That's what I want
Kate Harlow:to know. You know, spend time, like I talked about the
Kate Harlow:beginning of this episode, spend time being with your frequency
Kate Harlow:and feeling your human self and loving your small human self and
Kate Harlow:doing practices that cultivate and activate your vibration and
Kate Harlow:your frequency. Spend your time there become the woman who is
Kate Harlow:solid and sovereign, who loves herself, who loves her life, who
Kate Harlow:who only says yes to what lights her up, who follows what
Kate Harlow:activates her, her own heart and soul, rather than the woman who
Kate Harlow:thinks she knows where she wants to go and wants to lock
Kate Harlow:everything down and wants to pre plan the future. That's who
Kate Harlow:you've been taught to be, and that is going to limit you from
Kate Harlow:experiencing a soul led life, from experiencing the life
Kate Harlow:that's actually going to feel alive and feel fun and feel like
Kate Harlow:you
Kate Harlow:right? So spend your time becoming her and focusing on the
Kate Harlow:frequency that you are emitting in the world and and the energy
Kate Harlow:that you're embodying and clean up all the places where you're
Kate Harlow:leaking your energy, where you're feeding fear, where
Kate Harlow:you're reinforcing fear, where you're treating yourself like
Kate Harlow:shit. You want some man to come along and love you
Kate Harlow:unconditionally. How do you treat yourself? How do you treat
Kate Harlow:yourself? Do you speak lovingly in the mirror to yourself? Do
Kate Harlow:you touch yourself? Do you love yourself? Do you hold yourself?
Kate Harlow:Do you speak inspiring words to yourself? Do you acknowledge
Kate Harlow:yourself? Do you celebrate the crap out of yourself and only
Kate Harlow:surround yourself with women and humans who celebrate you? Or do
Kate Harlow:you put yourself in boxes and do you stay in small places? And do
Kate Harlow:you abuse yourself and then project it onto your boss, or
Kate Harlow:project it onto your your ex boyfriend, or projected onto
Kate Harlow:your friend that they're treating you like shit, or your
Kate Harlow:mom? How are you treating you? Clean that up, because when you
Kate Harlow:treat yourself with reverence and love, you attract people who
Kate Harlow:do too but also you don't, then need like only a little girl.
Kate Harlow:Let's talk about needs for a second, right? I mean, there's
Kate Harlow:even a lot of teachings out that are like you got to figure out
Kate Harlow:what your needs are and get them met in your relationship. I
Kate Harlow:absolutely disagree. You are responsible for your own needs.
Kate Harlow:And when you can take care of that needy little girl and you
Kate Harlow:can give her what she needs and make her feel solid, like even
Kate Harlow:the women who are still waiting for the man to rescue them
Kate Harlow:financially become solid, find. Eventually become a wizard at
Kate Harlow:it. Become a master at it. Learn how to become abundant yourself
Kate Harlow:so that you're not needing anyone to rescue you, because
Kate Harlow:then it's a little girl getting into that relationship, right?
Kate Harlow:Change the stories. Change the dialog that you're having
Kate Harlow:inside. Change the even like what you're eating. I think now,
Kate Harlow:you know, my diet is so clean, and not clean in like, a
Kate Harlow:restricted way, but like I'm paying close attention. I'm even
Kate Harlow:eating meat now, which I think I've talked about only because I
Kate Harlow:had a acupuncturist, Chinese medicine doctor recommend it for
Kate Harlow:healing my hormones and I feel like a different person. And you
Kate Harlow:know, I'm not having gluten because it causes eczema and all
Kate Harlow:sorts of things, and I barely ever have alcohol now, and it's
Kate Harlow:nothing against it, like I'm going for dinner with friends
Kate Harlow:tonight, maybe I'll have a glass of wine. Maybe I won't, but it's
Kate Harlow:not about it being bad, but it's about when my frequency is the
Kate Harlow:highest. And I have alcohol, I feel bad after even just a
Kate Harlow:couple sips, I can feel my light dim. So like, what? And, you
Kate Harlow:know, some doctors say it's actually poisoned, and it's
Kate Harlow:like, and it's like, one of the number one causes of cancer and
Kate Harlow:dementia, and yet it's like, oh, romanced. Like watch Okay, Ted
Kate Harlow:lasso, one of the best shows of all time that I watched last
Kate Harlow:summer. Ted lasso, this happens in every single show, but every
Kate Harlow:single emotion that anyone on that show has, they have a
Kate Harlow:drink. So if they're celebrating, they have
Kate Harlow:champagne. If they're like, having intimate moments, it's
Kate Harlow:wine. If they're watching sports, it's beer. If they're
Kate Harlow:stressed out, it's scotch. Like watch it every single feeling
Kate Harlow:comes with an alcoholic beverage. Or if it's like women
Kate Harlow:being sexy, it's a cocktail, right? This is our programming.
Kate Harlow:It's part of the program to dim us down. Ryan yakomi has a
Kate Harlow:podcast. I can't remember the name of it right now, but it's
Kate Harlow:about business and and being aligned, like, with masculine,
Kate Harlow:feminine energy and stuff. And I remember him saying that a long
Kate Harlow:time ago, and I judged it. This is like, five years ago. I
Kate Harlow:remember him being like, I don't drink coffee, I don't drink
Kate Harlow:alcohol. I'm like, super clean diet, because I want to keep my
Kate Harlow:frequency high. And I remember at the time being like, How
Kate Harlow:boring. But I was living in Vancouver at the time, and now
Kate Harlow:that my life is so aligned with my heart and soul, I don't need
Kate Harlow:that ever, you know, and if I have it, it's just like to
Kate Harlow:compliment something I'm eating, but usually I don't want much of
Kate Harlow:it. And it's, again, not about it being wrong about it's about
Kate Harlow:me paying attention to my own body. Your body's different. So
Kate Harlow:this is your opportunity to clean everything up, instead of
Kate Harlow:trying to manifest something and attract something outside of
Kate Harlow:yourself, which makes it separate from you. Become it,
Kate Harlow:become the woman who can hold a love so big that you desire, be
Kate Harlow:that love, pour that love into yourself, date yourself, romance
Kate Harlow:yourself. Treat yourself like a queen. Treat yourself like a
Kate Harlow:sacred being. Treat yourself like the most precious jewel on
Kate Harlow:planet Earth, right? Treat yourself like you treat your
Kate Harlow:children. Treat yourself with love and reverence, and then
Kate Harlow:you'll become a match to it. And then you don't have to even make
Kate Harlow:a vision board. You don't have to figure out from your mind
Kate Harlow:what you think you want. You'll just be in a coffee shop one day
Kate Harlow:having a conversation with someone and be like, Oh my God,
Kate Harlow:I feel attraction. Like I've even had friends go on this
Kate Harlow:path, and they've found they fell in love with a woman, and
Kate Harlow:they weren't even a lesbian before, and they just were like,
Kate Harlow:Oh my God, this frequency and vibration is so beautiful. So
Kate Harlow:it's like you have no idea what your soul is actually meant to
Kate Harlow:experience. So why waste your time and choose your own
Kate Harlow:adventure again? Do whatever you want. This is just me preaching
Kate Harlow:and, you know, sharing a perspective. But why waste your
Kate Harlow:time trying to get something focus on your frequency, focus
Kate Harlow:on who you're being in the world, become her, and then, you
Kate Harlow:know, go on dates from that place, the woman who's satiated
Kate Harlow:and full go, even if you're going on Bumble or Tinder like
Kate Harlow:you can go on dates just for fun, not to get something, and
Kate Harlow:just to play and just to connect and just to meet people. And
Kate Harlow:then do it from the fullness of who you are, you will be a
Kate Harlow:magnet. And then actually, what's meant for you will unfold
Kate Harlow:so organically, and not just romantic love, but your whole
Kate Harlow:life, the life that's meant for you, you will attract so trying
Kate Harlow:to manifest and attract what you think you want is so limited,
Kate Harlow:because your mind is so limited, it's so conditioned, it's so
Kate Harlow:fear based, so many of what you think you want is actually not
Kate Harlow:even your own true desires. Your own desires are in the present
Kate Harlow:moment, and it's like your body will tell you, it will you'll
Kate Harlow:feel a resonance. Pay attention to what resonates with your
Kate Harlow:body. Pay attention to even, even. Even going to a dance
Kate Harlow:class or yoga class. Do you feel resonance? Right? If you're if
Kate Harlow:you feel bad, usually it's because your mind is telling
Kate Harlow:you, you know you suck, or you're you're bad at this, or
Kate Harlow:whatever. But like, pay attention to the moments where
Kate Harlow:you feel resonant. You're having fun and your heart is open and
Kate Harlow:you feel this buttery feeling in your body. Your body will tell
Kate Harlow:you what is aligned and what is not aligned. So pay attention to
Kate Harlow:that, rather than trying to get something, rather than keeping
Kate Harlow:the thing outside of yourself thinking it's going to give you
Kate Harlow:something because it's only a small, young part of you that's
Kate Harlow:trying to control when it comes be in relationship with you
Kate Harlow:right now, become the woman who has it all. Give yourself
Kate Harlow:everything that you need so that you it's not separate from you.
Kate Harlow:And then, wow, watch what happens. Life gets so magical
Kate Harlow:and so beautiful and so juicy. So as always, share this episode
Kate Harlow:with every woman you know. I hope you enjoyed it. Let me
Kate Harlow:know, yeah, what your thoughts about manifestation. Would love
Kate Harlow:to hear from you, and I will see you next week. Much love you.
