Thinking about questions and getting ideas. Human head silhouette and gears.

Let’s talk about one sneaky thought that keeps a lot of people stuck:“I’ll start when I feel ready.”Sounds reasonable, right? But here’s the truth: readiness is a myth.Your brain is wired for safety, not success. It’s designed to keep you in the familiar, even if that familiar is unfulfilling, uncomfortable, or out of alignment with what you really want.So if you’re waiting for some magical moment when you’ll feel confident, clear, and totally ready to take that leap—chances are, you’ll be waiting a long time.<h3>Here’s what actually works:</h3>Start before you feel ready.Because momentum doesn’t come from confidence. Confidence comes from movement.The people who transform their lives? They’re not the ones who had it all figured out. They’re the ones who decided to show up anyway.So if you’ve been stuck in the loop of overthinking, waiting, or holding off until the timing feels perfect, here’s your mindset shift:👉 Ask yourself: “Am I willing to show up anyway?” 👉 Or even better: “Am I open to what’s possible if I stop waiting?”That’s when everything begins to shift.<figure id="figure-bvj8r2tem4mc4xwxys"><iframe id="bvj8r2tem4mc4xwxys" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kpZV6xN_LCg" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/kpZV6xN_LCg?si=DjW_JfOVz-kN2TFB" data-corners="default" data-fullWidth="false"></iframe></figure><h3>This is exactly what we’ll be working on inside the 60-Day Manifest Mastermind</h3>Starting July 7th, we’re diving deep into the work of rewiring old patterns, aligning your thoughts and energy with what you actually want, and learning to take powerful, inspired action—even when it feels a little scary.Inside the Manifest Mastermind, we’ll be combining:<ul><li>Neuroscience-backed mindset strategies</li><li>Manifestation practices that actually work</li><li>Real-time coaching + community support</li></ul>So if you're done waiting to feel "ready" and you're ready to become the version of you who goes for it—this is your space.<a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/themanifestmastermind" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/themanifestmastermind">CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!</a>Because the life you want isn’t waiting on readiness—it’s waiting on you.Let’s go.

One Thought That’s Keeping You Stuck (and How to Shift It)

<figure id="figure-ztvdkr4yhemc3rexg5"><img id="ztvdkr4yhemc3rexg5" src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/ayLWUIlELK2grsrMS0kkNbLHyr3M4F76lwMHdIl4gCxuquureZKNHiMzMFRlHE2P.png" alt="" title="" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="null" data-positiony="null" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://cdn.durable.co/blocks/ayLWUIlELK2grsrMS0kkNbLHyr3M4F76lwMHdIl4gCxuquureZKNHiMzMFRlHE2P.png" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure>I had what seemed like a random thought one day: start a Facebook support group. No plan, no big vision, just a quiet pull that felt too aligned to ignore. It didn’t feel like effort—it felt inspired. So I followed it.Fast forward a little over two years… and that same group—the one that came from a single inspired nudge—was written about and published in The New York Times.That wasn’t luck. That was alignment. That was intuition. That was manifestation in motion.And it wasn’t the first time a seemingly small thought turned into something massive.<figure id="figure-qucc0cz6s9mc3r9rtx"><iframe id="qucc0cz6s9mc3r9rtx" class="w-full bg-gray-100 h-80 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="" data-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/vfJkyJH7GMg?si=9rtIzHDLXgRCJPCJ" data-corners="default" data-fullWidth="false"></iframe></figure><h3>The Power of Inspired Thought and Action</h3> One of the biggest game changers in my life has been learning how to recognize inspired thoughts and take inspired action. You know the ones—those quiet nudges that feel both exciting and a little scary? That idea that drops in out of nowhere but feels like it just might lead somewhere incredible?Yeah, those aren’t random.Learning to trust those moments—and take action before the overthinking kicks in—is one of the biggest manifestation tools I’ve ever practiced. And it works, not because it’s magic, but because it’s backed by how your brain actually works. (Hi, Reticular Activating System, I see you.)Once I stopped brushing off those nudges and started acting on them, my life completely shifted. Opportunities, breakthroughs, moments that made me stop and go, “Wait… is this real?” started happening on repeat.<h3>That’s Why I Created the 60-Day Manifest Mastermind</h3> Because I want YOU to experience that same kind of clarity, alignment, and momentum.Starting July 7th, I’m leading a group of powerful humans through a 60-day journey that combines neuroscience, energy work, and real-world manifestation tools to help you:<ul><li>Recognize and trust inspired thoughts</li><li>Rewire your brain for confidence, clarity, and expansion</li><li>Align your energy with what you actually want</li><li>Take aligned action toward the life you’ve been dreaming of</li></ul>This isn’t about surface-level positivity or manifesting a bunch of "stuff" (unless you want that, too). This is about manifesting who you become in the process.The version of you who speaks up. Takes up space. Trusts themselves deeply. The version who moves from inspiration—not fear.<h3>Are You In?</h3> If you’re feeling that nudge, that quiet “yes”—follow it.<a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/themanifestmastermind" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/themanifestmastermind">CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE!</a>Your dream life isn’t random. It’s waiting for you to show up for it.Let’s go.

When a 'Random' Thought Changed Everything (And How You Can Manifest Big, Too)

There was a time in my life when I couldn’t even call to make my own doctor’s appointment.That’s not an exaggeration. I’d hand the phone to my mom because I physically couldn’t speak to the person on the other end. I took F’s in college to avoid speaking in front of the class. I left jobs because the idea of having to look people in the eye or talk to strangers sent me spiraling.For most of my life, anxiety ruled everything. I had all these ideas and inspirations inside me, but they never saw the light of day because I was too afraid to act on them. I blamed everything outside of myself: my weight, my voice, my skills, my looks. And as a result, I made myself so small that people literally didn’t see me. And honestly, I believed they shouldn’t.So when I tell you I once performed on stage in front of 25,000 people, I need you to understand something: it wasn’t about the performance.It was about who I had to become to stand there.<figure id="figure-iqmjxpetyjmc0zyetj"><iframe id="iqmjxpetyjmc0zyetj" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xkwFGO-mFAQ" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/xkwFGO-mFAQ?si=9aOHnWFjrnp6VX9z" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xkwFGO-mFAQ" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure><h3>The Shift That Changed Everything</h3> Two years before that moment, the version of me that held that mic didn’t exist.That version of me would have panicked and shut down. She would have found an excuse not to go. She would have watched someone else live out her dream because fear had the final say.But I hit a point where I was so uncomfortable in my own skin that I knew something had to change. I couldn’t keep living ruled by my anxiety, my limiting beliefs, or the old stories looping in my head.So I made a decision...to learn how to get out of my own way.<figure id="figure-agi06atrsmc0zzzdm"><img id="agi06atrsmc0zzzdm" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/136917528/photo/wires-on-brain-specimen.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=9jHYkrcQWoyju6LyIoyv_jpjUsVJ4hBPWlLjZzr5cQw=" alt="Wires on Brain Specimen" title="Wires on Brain Specimen" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/136917528/photo/wires-on-brain-specimen.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=9jHYkrcQWoyju6LyIoyv_jpjUsVJ4hBPWlLjZzr5cQw=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Rewiring My Brain with Manifestation and Neuroscience</h3> This wasn’t about "just think positive" or pretending everything was fine. It was about learning how to actually rewire my brain using the science of neuroplasticity and the power of the Reticular Activating System (RAS).Your RAS is like your brain’s filter. It decides what you notice and what you ignore. Once I understood that, I started being intentional with what I was focusing on. I put the vision in my mind, and I backed it with emotion, energy, and belief.I visualized that moment on stage before it happened. I felt what it would be like to hold that mic. I spoke it out loud. (I even told my dad, at the previous summit, "Next year, I’ll be up there.")And then? I took inspired action.I worked with my nervous system. I rewrote my internal narrative. I followed those nudges and built the confidence I had always craved.That moment on stage wasn’t about lights or applause. It was the physical evidence of the inner work I had done. It was the result of getting clear, raising my vibration, aligning with my goals, and doing the real, behind-the-scenes work to change how I thought, felt, and acted.<h3>This Is Why I Created the Manifest Mastermind</h3> Because I know what it feels like to think you’re too broken, too anxious, too far gone to ever become who you really are.And I know firsthand, that’s just a story your brain is looping.Which means? You can rewire it.That’s exactly why I created the <a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/themanifestmastermind" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/themanifestmastermind">60-Day Manifest Mastermind</a>, a neuroscience-backed group coaching program designed to help you:<ul><li>Rewire your brain using neuroplasticity and manifestation tools that work</li><li>Break through limiting beliefs and old patterns that keep you stuck</li><li>Learn how to use your Reticular Activating System to bring your desires into reality</li><li>Cultivate confidence, joy, peace, and aligned purpose</li><li>Take inspired action toward the life you’ve been craving</li></ul>We start July 7th, and over 60 days, you’ll get:<ul><li>Weekly video trainings rooted in neuroscience and mindset</li><li>Interactive workbooks to help you integrate what you learn</li><li>Weekly live group coaching calls every Thursday at 8 PM EST</li><li>A private community for connection, accountability, and support</li><li>Optional 1:1 sessions for those ready to go deeper</li></ul>This isn’t about manifesting random "stuff" (though hey, you totally can). It’s about manifesting a new version of you.The one who speaks up. The one who takes up space. The one who no longer lets anxiety write the script.<figure id="figure-ny4m7uho5rmc105k9n"><iframe id="ny4m7uho5rmc105k9n" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kpZV6xN_LCg" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="" data-url="https://youtu.be/kpZV6xN_LCg?si=v-f6ldSjWNbJHNhB" data-corners="default" data-fullWidth="false"></iframe></figure><h3>Are You In?</h3>If you’re tired of playing small… of shrinking… of waiting for the "right time" to finally start living—this is your moment.DM me "I’m in" or click here to learn more.Let’s rewire your brain.

From Anxiety to 25,000 People: How I Manifested Confidence and Rewired My Life

Friends preparing food at table in kitchen

Alright, let’s be real for a second—cooking with friends is so much more than just chopping veggies and swapping recipes. It’s like a reset button for your entire nervous system, and there’s some real science to back that up.When you’re in the kitchen with your crew—laughing, telling stories, and maybe even messing up the recipe—it’s not just good vibes. It’s actually giving your nervous system a huge sigh of relief. The act of cooking together releases oxytocin, the “feel-good” hormone that helps you feel safe and connected. Plus, it fires up your vagus nerve, which helps calm your heart rate and lowers stress. So yeah, kitchen therapy is real.<figure id="figure-fqoskhuqoambpawau1"><iframe id="fqoskhuqoambpawau1" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y-h8DXtDvAI" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowFullScreen="" data-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/y-h8DXtDvAI?si=yy3qx4lNiF5aSugA" data-corners="default" data-fullWidth="false"></iframe></figure>And because it’s Pride Month, let’s not forget the power of your chosen family. Those are the people who see you, celebrate you, and remind you that you’re never alone. Gathering around a homemade meal with them? That’s a recipe for feeling nourished on every level—body, mind, and soul.So next time you’re tempted to order takeout solo, consider calling a friend over instead. Put on some music, chop those veggies together, and let your kitchen become your healing space. Because when it comes to feeling safe, connected, and calm—it’s not just what’s on the plate that matters. It’s who you’re sharing it with.

Unleashing Your Power: Introducing the Manifest Mastermind 60-Day Program

Why it’s there, what it’s really trying to do, and how to shift it.Let’s get real for a second: That voice in your head telling you you’re not ready, not good enough, not doing enough? Yeah—it’s exhausting. But it’s not here to ruin your life. It’s here because, at some point, it kept you safe.<h3>The Inner Critic’s Real Job &nbsp;</h3>Your inner critic isn’t some random bully in your mind. It’s a part of your brain that learned early on:<ul><li>It’s safer to stay small.</li><li>It’s easier to hide than to be seen.</li><li>It’s better to play it safe than risk getting hurt.</li></ul>This part of your mind—the voice of doubt, shame, or self-judgment—was just trying to protect you from rejection, failure, or feeling unsafe. It worked… until it didn’t.<figure id="figure-w2ejwa78xpmbi7sxy6"><iframe id="w2ejwa78xpmbi7sxy6" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8d5d-dw3iGc" class="w-full bg-gray-100 rounded-2xl md:rounded-3xl lg:rounded-4xl" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" allowfullscreen="" data-url="https://youtube.com/shorts/8d5d-dw3iGc?si=zaT_XxGwKm41KEi-" data-corners="default" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8d5d-dw3iGc" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></iframe></figure><h3>When the Inner Critic Becomes the Saboteur</h3>What started as protection can turn into sabotage when you’re ready to grow. Because even when you’re consciously calling in more—more love, more success, more visibility—your inner critic is running an old script. One that says:<ul><li>“Let’s not do that—it’s risky.”</li><li>“Let’s not stand out—it’s dangerous.”</li><li>“Let’s not want too much—it’s selfish.” </li></ul>And that’s when you start feeling stuck: Not because you’re unmotivated or lazy—because your inner critic is trying to keep you safe using outdated information.<h3>The Good News: You Can Rewire It</h3>The power move here isn’t to shame your inner critic or pretend it doesn’t exist. It’s to understand it—and then choose to update the narrative.Here’s what works:<ul><li>Get curious, not judgmental.</li><li>Ask: “What is this voice trying to protect me from?”</li><li>Remind yourself: “I’m not in that same environment anymore. I’m safe to show up as me.”</li><li>Start practicing thoughts that reflect where you’re going—not where you’ve been. </li></ul>This is how you rewire your brain. This is how you build a new baseline of safety, confidence, and ease. And it’s how you stop letting fear run the show.<h3>This Is What I Do With My Clients</h3>We don’t just shut down the inner critic. We update it. We get curious, shift the story, and build a new relationship with the parts of you that still think small = safe.Because growth isn’t about fighting yourself. It’s about creating a new normal where your vision and your nervous system feel aligned.If you’re tired of letting that inner voice keep you from taking up space— <a data-mce-href="https://jaimecoaches.com/jaime-messina----mindset---empowerment-coach--one-on-one-coaching" href="https://jaimecoaches.com/jaime-messina----mindset---empowerment-coach--one-on-one-coaching">Let’s talk.</a> &nbsp; &nbsp;
