EP 153: Are You Manifesting All Wrong? Here's What Works.
A Story Of Visioning Into Reality With Bianca Osbourne
Bianca Osbourne is a true testament to how when you think big, and never allow failure as an option, you can literally create the life of your dreams. A Canadian native, Bianca is an entrepreneur, TV host, podcast host, speaker, & educator. Essentially, she’s a living example of the power of belief and manifestation.
Tune into the conversation below, or read on.
The Journey Before The Fame
But it was always lights, camera, action for Bianca. She explains that her road to success wasn’t always admired, appreciated, or supported.
“In 2016 I closed my failing business and I was in a really dark spot. I was broke - my mum was paying my rent. When I moved to Toronto, there was no indication that I was going to be able to do something ‘great’ - my life was a mess and I simply didn't know anybody that could give me good opportunities, or money!”
~Bianca Osbourne
Bianca had her heart set on “being on television”.
“I love television, and I'm a trained chef. So I wanted to come to Toronto and be on television for food.”
Today, Bianca is the in-house chef on The Marilyn Dennis Show. So it indeed happened! But how?
Vision Boarding…The ‘Right’ Way
Bianca clarifies that there is a right way…and a not-so-right way to bring your dreams into reality.
“I had tried making like vision boards and things before, but it had never really worked out. And I was never really doing it from the right place.”
She explains that one day she finally gave up the tight anxious grip on her dreams. Instead, Bianca started to have fun with it. Commit - but without the stress.
Making what she calls an “intentional” vision board, mainly of very specific pictures, she put it on the fridge and looked at it each and every day.
“I think it's worth mentioning that like, a lot of people think that when you start down the path to manifestation, everything is perfect.” ~ Bianca
Bianca assures us that unfortunately, that is not always the case. Growing out of your “usual standards” and asking the universe for more is actually uncomfortable work.
“It required me to do a lot of uncomfortable things, set some boundaries with people, and leave some habits and behaviors behind,” ~ Bianca
That’s why it's really important to have a vision board that you see all the time because that's what keeps you going in the dark moments. It’s a clear reminder of inspiration. If you leave your dreams & intentions to simply be the thoughts inside of you when life happens, that gets bumped to the last thing on the to-do list - or off the list completely.
Lastly, and possibly most importantly, you ultimately have to take responsibility for your own life!
Get Clear
“I think one of the most common missteps in manifestation work - which often prevents it from actually working for you, is not being clear about why you want certain things,”
Bianca explains that so often we are sort of carrying out the hopes and dreams of the people around us because we want them to like us, love us, be impressed by us, etc. And so we're calling in things that are not really for us - it's for them to make them happy. These things ultimately never come (or when they do, they still don’t satisfy us).
Bianca suggests really digging into the WHY behind what you want, and if any of the reasons why you want something is for the purpose of someone else - like appreciation, love, admiration, praise, etc., then that is not something that you probably actually want!
“The work is like figuring out what it is that you do want, and the things that are really from your core. But that's very scary for people. Because sometimes, the things that you want from your core are going to up-end your whole life - you may ultimately realize that you've been living for other people's goals and dreams for your life - and not your own.”
Fortunately, once you get over that confronting work, you can start to call in the right things for YOU. If you miss this crucial step, it's either not going to work for you, and then you lose faith very easily, and the process becomes even more difficult. So clarity is like the one thing that Bianca states as an absolute MUST for everyone doing this manifestation work.
