Redesigning Your Story with Artist, Author, and Wellness Community Builder Justin Shiels

Manifestation is such a misunderstood concept - but here's the essence: when you shift, the world around you shifts. When we heal our relationship with wealth and prosperity, we learn to own our personal power and create the lives of our dreams. We become more confident and magnetic than ever before.

Today’s show guest is professional creative, author, and artist Justin Shiels. In this episode, we talk about how to tap into our life shifts to rewrite our narrative and redesign our story. Justin shares his experience of manifesting a book deal while in the process of a major life pivot.

Justin is a dynamic leader and friend with whom I’ve had a relationship for over a decade. We’ve each shifted, evolved, and transformed in many ways throughout our friendship - today, we talk about what it takes to reset along the path to big leaps. He recently quit his full-time job to write and illustrate a book while building a community around wellness.

He's the founder of SoCurious, a weekly wellness newsletter designed to help you live a happier, healthier life.

In the episode, we discuss:

  • Getting back to who we were as children
