What if your greatest fears could lead you to your most authentic life?

In this expansive Process episode, Jessica welcomes writer and TBM member, Ziza, as she shares her profound journey from self-doubt and people-pleasing to manifesting her dream life in Italy. Ziza shares openly about growing up with untethered parents, adopting patterns of parentification, shape-shifting, and relying on external validation due to deep-rooted fears of abandonment. Discover how she navigated a four-year rut in career before landing her dream job—by reconnecting with her inherent worthiness and listening to her intuitive pings.

Jessica and Ziza explore how embracing life's worst moments can revive and reshape your character, and why true expansion often requires releasing control to trust life's mystical surprises. Learn how subconscious reprogramming through TBM practices helped Ziza exchange "good" for "great," prioritize her inner voice, and ultimately manifest a profound, authentic life. This episode powerfully reminds us that what's meant for you will never miss you, and it's never too late to courageously pursue your dreams.

The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.

At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.

Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
– Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
– Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
– Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
– Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self

With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.

Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
