In this episode, I am joined by Matt Cooke - international speaker, author of Beyond Wanting, and manifestation coach - for an honest conversation about what manifestation actually is (and what it isn’t).

Rather than “wish it and wait,” Matt breaks down why true manifestation starts with who you’re being, not just what you want. Drawing on both science and spirituality, he shares how slowing down the nervous system, regulating the mind, and reconnecting with yourself can completely change how you create change in your life. Matt also opens up about his own journey - from a high-pressure corporate career to a more aligned, authentic way of living - including a deeply personal experience that reshaped his understanding of intuition, trust, and purpose.

We cover:

 * Why wanting something isn’t enough to create real change
 * The role of the nervous system, energy, and mindset in manifestation
 * How to quiet the mind and reconnect with intuition
 * The balance between ambition, gratitude, and surrender
 * Simple, practical tools you can try - without overwhelm

#150: Matt Cooke on True Manifestation - Why Wanting Isn’t Enough (and What Actually Works)

In this episode, I am joined by wellness expert and author Miriam Hussey for a conversation about reconnecting with yourself, creating more balance, and finding your inner light again. Miriam shares the core message behind her book Light Up and her mission to help people feel more connected, calm, and empowered in their everyday lives.

We explore why so many of us live in “head mode,” constantly rushing, and how shifting into a more heart-centred, values-led way of living can transform both health and happiness. Miriam breaks down how the body, mind, and soul work together, and why true wellbeing depends on nurturing all three.

You’ll hear practical, down-to-earth tools for slowing down, managing stress, supporting emotional health, and creating moments of calm in a busy world.
