The Surrender Paradox: Why Letting Go Is Key for Neurodivergent Manifestors
03/12/25 • 17 min
Letting go is one of the biggest challenges in manifestation—especially for neurodivergent minds. If you’ve ever felt like “surrendering” just means forgetting about your desire entirely (thanks, object impermanence), or you find yourself hyperfixating to the point of burnout, this episode is for you.
In today’s deep dive, I’m breaking down:
🔹 The difference between letting go and giving up (because they are NOT the same)
🔹 Why neurodivergent brains struggle with detachment—and how to work with your wiring instead of against it
🔹 Bashar’s formula for following your highest excitement and how it rewires your manifestation process
🔹 A personal story about how I had to let go of just writing paranormal fantasy—and why that led me to my most neurodivergent romcom yet!
PLUS: Stick around for the Manifest Differently Minute, where I give you a simple shift that will change how you approach letting go for good.
🎧 Listen now and learn how to let go—without losing sight of what you want!

The Deep End: Elevating Your Manifestation Practice for Neurodivergent Thinkers
A profound shift is occurring—both within me and throughout our community—one I've been calling in for some time now. Have you ever had that moment where you realize you've outgrown something? That knowing in your gut that you're ready for something bigger, despite the voice in your head saying "but this is how it's always been done"?
When I created this podcast, I wanted manifestation to make sense for neurodivergent minds like mine. Traditional advice like "just think positive" or "raise your vibration" doesn't always work for our unique brains. I dug deeper, exploring energy, nervous system regulation, and mindset shifts tailored to our neurodivergent experiences. But recently, I've realized I've been playing small—giving away my deepest insights and transformational methods without creating the container for true integration.
The most powerful revelation? Manifestation isn't just about thinking differently—it's about embodying differently. Those experiencing the biggest transformations aren't passive consumers of content; they're the ones who commit deeply, engage fully, and declare to the universe, "I'm ready for more." That's why I'm introducing Manifest Differently: The Deep End—a space where I'll share everything I used to give away for free, but delivered to those truly ready to integrate these practices into their lives. This isn't about holding back; it's about recognizing that when we commit at a deeper level, we see bigger resu
