The Liz Moody Podcast - Why Manifestation Fails For So Many People—And The Exact Shift That Makes It Work

Starting point is 00:00:00 Two years ago, I made a vision board. I put on absolutely everything that I wanted to manifest from my dream life, and I remember looking at this beautiful collection of things on it, at all of my hopes and my dreams cut out in little magazine pictures and assembled in this pretty collage. And I just felt so excited for all of it to come true. I had done enough research by then to know that manifestation is not BS. It's actually backed by some incredibly impressive neuroscience.

Starting point is 00:00:28 And so I was ready for that science to kick in and for my life to dramatically change. And then it did not. Literally nothing on my vision board came true. I remember the next December looking at everything that I had so optimistically glued on 12 months prior and feeling so demotivated and depressed. I felt confused. I felt even weirdly ashamed. like the science is there. So in my head, that must have meant that something was wrong with me. And I remember thinking, why does this work for some people and not work for others?

Starting point is 00:01:09 Like, why did literally nothing on my vision board come true? Because I am a longtime journalist and I truly cannot help myself, I decided to look into it. And what I found shocked me. So that's what we're getting into today. We're going to dive into the sneaky reasons manifestation might not. be working the way that you want it to and how exactly to fix that so all of your greatest dreams can come true. Welcome to the Liz Moody podcast. I'm Liz and as a long time journalist, I have spent my career asking the uncomfortable questions that you want answered to give you the science back strategies that cut through all of the wellness BS so that you can get real results

Starting point is 00:01:49 even when you are busy, even when you are tired, even when you are totally overwhelmed. If you're new to the podcast, you're joining us for our January transformation series. We've covered the real reasons. It's so hard to lose weight in a healthy way and exactly what to do to achieve the results that you want. We've covered tiny shifts that yield outsized results in terms of your wealth, your health, your health, and your happiness. And we've gotten into the episode, the episode that you want to listen to if you want to genuinely crave working out. And I say this is a person who never worked out consistently in my life until like a year. go. So make sure that you go and listen to those after this episode and then follow the Liz Moody podcast because all January long, we are sharing science-back tools to make 2026 the absolute

Starting point is 00:02:34 best year of your life. I want to start by super quickly getting into the science-wide manifestation is supposed to work because for years, I was so skeptical. I thought that manifestation was full-on pseudoscience until I had two neuroscientists on the podcast to explain what was actually happening. In a nutshell, although I highly recommend listening to those episodes after this one if you're interested in all of the science behind manifestation, but in a nutshell, manifestation is essentially the practice of retraining your brain to notice and seize opportunities that already exist in your environment.

Starting point is 00:03:11 Here's the neuroscience of what's happening with manifestation. Your reticular activating system, or RAS, is a bundle of nerves in your brainstem that acts is a filter. Your brain is bombarded with millions of bits of data every second. Like right now, you're listening to or watching this episode. You might also be driving or doing the dishes so you're seeing other cars on the road or you're trying not to drop that slippery dish in your hand. You're hearing me talk and you're hearing noise around you. You're smelling things. Your brain is constantly taking in just huge amounts of information and it's too much for it to process at once and most of it, frankly, isn't really useful. So your RAS is there to act as a gatekeeper to

Starting point is 00:03:52 filter out what gets through to your conscious mind. On top of that, and it literally changed my life when I got my head around this concept, your brain is not designed to build your dream life. It's designed to keep you alive. By default, the things that your brain prioritizes are things designed to keep you from getting kicked out of the tribe or literally dying. It's scanning for threats. It's scanning for opportunities to conserve energy, which is why it can feel so hard to overcome that inertia that keeps us from moving our bodies. Our brains prefer that we lay. It is better for our long-term survival. It is prioritizing avoiding loss, embarrassment, rejection, or uncertainty. Your brain basically wants you to do the same safe thing every single day because it knows that

Starting point is 00:04:41 that thing is going to keep you alive. It feels safe. It's kept you alive. It's kept you alive. the past. It's like, got this, this will keep me alive in the future. Once you really internalize this, it becomes a lot easier to understand why most of us are stuck living lives that do not prioritize our dreams. We have to consciously fight our brain's natural instincts in order to make our dreams come true. And that is where manifestation comes in. Manifestation is not attracting something from outside of you. It is training your brain to treat a future goal as survival relevant. And you do that by essentially programming your RAS, your reticular activating system to look out for the information that you want it to look out for. Scientists call this value tagging.

Starting point is 00:05:29 When you intentionally name what you are looking for and repeatedly bring it into focus, you tag it in your brain as important and then your brain starts prioritizing it which makes your brain notice opportunities and connections that were previously being filtered out. Have you heard of yellow car theory? You might not be able to think of the last time that you saw a yellow car, but the moment that somebody says, have you noticed how many yellow cars there are? You suddenly see them everywhere. You didn't change the number of yellow cars on the road, but you primed your brain to look for them now. And this works universally. You can tell your brain to tag yellow cars as important, but also job opportunities, partners and more. It's also why, and this is so important too,

Starting point is 00:06:17 I just feel like this is what plagues us all in the era of social media these days. It is also why if you look for reasons, the world is terrible, you find more of those reasons. If you look for problems, you find more problems. But on the flip side, if you look for, you look for, for solutions or reasons that there's good in the world, you're going to find more of that too. And over time, this actually changes the wiring of your brain. Neural connections link to old limiting beliefs weaken while pathways aligned with your new intentions strengthen, which makes you see more opportunities and more connections. Then all of a sudden, you get into this flow where opportunities and abundance are everywhere

Starting point is 00:06:58 because you have wired your brain to look out for them. So that is the basic science behind manifestation. but given all of that, why does manifestation sometimes not work? Why did my vision board turn into a big fat nothing? I dove into a ton of research and I found three key reasons. The last one is far and away the biggest one. It's the one that I was personally getting all wrong. So diving in, reason three.

Starting point is 00:07:28 Lack of action. Manifesting can tell your brain to notice an opportunity, but you have to be the one to take the action. If you're manifesting a partner, you are tagging your brain to notice the people that it might have once skipped over, but you have to talk to them. You have to put yourself in environments where they exist.

Starting point is 00:07:48 They're not going to walt through your front door. And honestly, they'd be really scary if they did. If you're manifesting your dream career, you need to build the skills to thrive in that career. And sometimes, and this is where it gets a little bit tricky, a little bit insidious, manifesting can actually keep us from doing this. Research has found that when we fantasize about a goal, like when we make a vision board, our brain can't fully distinguish between the fantasy and reality.

Starting point is 00:08:17 Our brains release dopamine as if we have already achieved that goal. And that lowers our drive to actually achieve the goal from a neuroscience perspective because our brain thinks that the hunt is over. Research has found that the key to overcoming this is tying an action to your goals. I had Dr. Tara Swart, who's an MD and also a neuroscientist casual, on the podcast, and she doesn't make vision board. She makes what she calls action board. So that is my first tip for your manifestation to have a great 2026, make an action board.

Starting point is 00:08:52 There are a few small differences in what goes on the board. Dr. Swart recommends using mostly images and only using a few numbers for things. like specific money goals. This is because our brain's process images 60,000 times faster than text. And also things that feel like more metaphorical can bypass the part of your brain that's like, oh, I could never do that. She also recommends physical boards versus an iPhone background or something digital and then looking at it before bed because that's when your brain is in its most plastic state.

Starting point is 00:09:25 But the big thing that makes it an action board versus. is a vision board, is Dr. Swart recommends thinking about the work to get to your goal, not just the outcome. With a vision board, you might have a dreamy photo of you in a big, beautiful house, and you might picture swanning through the corridors and enjoying the space. That image is actually going to make you lazier, because again, your brain releases dopamine as if you have already achieved that goal. To make it an action board, look at the image and then mention. mentally rehearse these steps required to get there. Where is the house? How much money do you need to buy it? How are you going to get that money? Are you going to start a side hustle? Are you going to ask for a raise?

Starting point is 00:10:11 What would asking for a raise sound like? That mental rehearsal is going to strengthen the skills, the literal pathways in your brain that you need to achieve those things. You'll be able to picture obstacles that you might run into in ways that you can overcome those obstacles. And all of that is going to make you so much more likely to make your vision come to life. Anything that you can do to tie actions to your goals is going to set you up for success. Making plans, building skills, visualizing obstacles and how you'll get through them. And if you're doing that plus the vision board, you're doing all of that and you're priming your brain to notice the opportunities, the connections, the luck that is likely all around you.

Starting point is 00:10:56 And then those two things together are the winning combination to making your dreams come true. I very rarely get genuinely excited about skincare, but this is one of the most innovative products that I have come across in years. And I am so obsessed with it. I've been telling all of my friends to get it. So now I need to tell you guys. Here's some science first. Your skin isn't just getting older. It's being actively broken down by something called senescent cells. These are cells that have stopped functioning but refused to die. They sit there, releasing inflammatory signals, breaking down your collagen, degrading your skin barrier, and accelerating every visible sign of aging. Scientists call them zombie cells and as they accumulate, they are one of the primary drivers

Starting point is 00:11:39 of how old your skin looks and feels. The team at one skin, a group of female longevity researchers and PhDs, spent five years testing over 900 peptides to figure out how to help reduce the accumulation of senescent cells. And they finally landed on it. OSO1, the first peptide scientifically studied to reduce skin's biological age at the molecular level. OSO1 goes in and it clears out the senescent cells so it helps skin function like healthier, younger looking skin. It is not masking the signs of aging. It's not targeting one thing. It is actually rolling the clock back at a cellular level. I've been using the face moisturizer for almost six months now and I love it. so much. It feels amazing. It goes on really smoothly. It's not tacky at all. And I actually see a

Starting point is 00:12:28 difference, which I just feel like is never the case with skincare. You want to always like see a real difference and you're kind of like, do I? Do I? And this I genuinely do. Because it's clearing the senescent cells, it doesn't just target one thing. So my skin looks firmer. It looks glowier. The texture feels dramatically smoother. And I feel like you can see that too. I also love the body moisturizer. It dries down really quickly, which is always a pet peeve of mine with moisturizers. I hate that, like, sticky feeling when you go to put your clothes on. This does not do that, but it does moisturize really, really well. And then again, I'm reducing my skin's biological age. I am not making it just look younger. I am making it actually younger. One skin has four peer-reviewed

Starting point is 00:13:11 clinical studies in over 10,000 five-star reviews. The data backs everything up for a limited time, get 15% off with code Liz at one skin.co slash Liz. Again, that's 15% off at one skin.com with code Liz. The mattress that you sleep on is one of the highest exposures that you have. Like, if it's off gassing, you're breathing that in for basically a third of your life. And most conventional mattresses are loaded with synthetic foams, flame retardants, microplastics, and more. Plus, if it's not comfy, you're going to be tossing and turning.

Starting point is 00:13:46 You're going to be really hot. And sleep is the foundation of health. It is so important. because of all of this, if I were not going to invest in any other part of my house, no other things in my house, I would invest in my mattress. And in fact, I have four years well before I had much money to spend on any of these things because it is such a big needle mover. The birch mattress is incredible.

Starting point is 00:14:09 It is made with organic cotton, natural latex, and ethically sourced wool. So it has literally no off-gassing. You can not smell anything right when you unbox it. It has no microplastics, no synthetic foams or flame retardants. And the wool makes it so breathable, which if you've listened to this podcast for more than five minutes, you know that I run very, very hot. Like I am a furnace. Zach has basically accepted that sleeping next to me is like sleeping next to like a little fire.

Starting point is 00:14:37 And the birch mattress has been a game changer for that. It's made me sleep so much better. Like I can see my sleep score going up because I'm not hot all night long. It's also hypoallergenic, which is really worth paying. attention to if you find yourself waking up stuffy or congested. Dust mites in a conventional mattress can actually impact your breathing and your sleep quality without you even realizing it. And again, we need to be able to breathe to get good sleep and getting good sleep is the foundation of our health. And then comfort wise, Zach sleeps on his back and then I sleep on my

Starting point is 00:15:06 side and my stomach. So we have two completely different sleep styles and we both wake up feeling really good, no aches and pains. CNN actually named the Birch mattress, the best mattress for side sleepers and Wired named it the best organic mattress period. So there you go. Birch has options for every kind of sleeper in your household. They have three firmness layers. I like the Lux Natural, which is the medium one. And then parents, they even have a Birch kids' natural mattress. Burch ships right to your door. It sets up in minutes and it comes with 120 night risk-free trial. So if it is not for you, they will pick it up for free. You have nothing to lose here. I want all of you to enjoy a deep, restful night sleep with a

When you think about strength and resilience, like your ability to feel energized, to recover well, to stay strong as you get older, what do you think that actually comes from? Most people say working out or good nutrition and yes, of course that matters. But there is a biological foundation underneath all of that that that most people, people are completely overlooking. I have been diving deep into this lately with the team at

Starting point is 00:16:26 timeline and what I've learned has genuinely shifted how I think about my own health. Every single movement that your body makes, every step, every workout, every muscle contraction depends on energy produced at the cellular level. And at the center of that is your mitochondria. Here is the thing that nobody tells you, certainly nobody told me, starting around age 30, our mitochondria naturally become less efficient. More get damaged, more become sluggish, and over time that impacts your energy, your strength, your recovery, and your resilience. Most of us respond by pushing more. We're noticing these things and we're adding in more protein. We're trying to fix it with more supplements. We're trying to do harder workouts. And those things do help. But timelines research suggests that we

Starting point is 00:17:10 also need to be supporting the cellular machinery underneath. And that is exactly what their supplement, Mitopure does. It contains urolithin A, which helps your body clear out damage mitochondria and support healthier ones so that your cells can produce energy more efficiently. Because this is happening to your cells, it's going to impact your entire body, your immune system, your muscles. One study found that taking mitopure increased muscle strength by 12% in four months with no change in exercise routine, it's going to impact your energy, your sleep, your skin, your cell health impacts all of this, and urolithin A keeps your cells healthy. Timeline has done over 15 years of research and testing on this one product,

Starting point is 00:17:51 urolithin A, which, by the way, most of us lack the gut bacteria to synthesize naturally. That's why many of us need to supplement it to get the benefits. This has become a staple supplement for me. It is my top way to support how I want to look and feel as I age. Support your cells and how you age with mitopure gummies from Timeline.

The second reason that manifesting might not be working for you is something that, frankly,

Starting point is 00:18:24 is one of the main reasons that I was anti this whole manifestation thing for so long. Manifesting might not be working because there are structural barriers in place. There are systemic inequities. Conversations about manifesting so often just completely ignore any, quality, and it matters. It's like the whole nepo baby conversation. Can you become a famous actor without parents who work in Hollywood? Absolutely. There are a ton of examples of people who have done this. And it is much, much easier if you have parents who can introduce you to agents or who can teach you consciously and subconsciously that these careers are attainable and possible,

Starting point is 00:19:05 who can provide a financial safety net so that you can take big swings and big risks, There are inequities all over the place where we're born, the color of our skin, who are exposed to, our socioeconomic background, our educational background, how attractive society considers us, how well our skills and intelligence fit the current cultural moment. All of these things and so many more impact the lives that are possible for us. This is true. And when people are like, wow, I'm so good at Manifesting, look at my dream car, my dream house, and my dream job. And you're like, girl, you were born to rich parents with a 10 out of 10 face. That can feel deeply unfair. And shaming and blaming ourselves or having other people shame or blame us for failing at manifesting when we're

Starting point is 00:19:58 starting at entirely different parts of the race is actively harmful. That shame and that blame both internal and external actually takes us further away from being. able to manifest or achieve our dreams for reasons that we will get into more in a second. And, and, this is the harder part of the conversation. Your life might not be your fault, but it is your responsibility. There are the cards that we're dealt, and then there's what we do with those cards. There are a lot of parts that aren't in our control. I cannot control having a ton of childhood trauma that led to me having debilitating anxiety.

Starting point is 00:20:39 I can't go back in time and change where I went to high school or make my parents rich. And it doesn't help me to dwell on those things. What our brains want is agency. They want power. And we have so much more of it than we think. Yes, the circumstances are very, very, very real. But what are you going to do with those circumstances? That is where your power lies.

Starting point is 00:21:07 That and voting, which I hope that we're all doing. But the more you blame your life on outside elements, the more you take away your own power. What serves you the most is to lean into the power that you do have. Those outside elements are so real. And this is your life. Don't miss it because you're angry or you're jealous or you're sad. Reason number one, that manifesting is not working for you is very tied to that shame and blame thing that we were just talking about. This is hands down the reason that a lot of my vision board did not come true

Starting point is 00:21:42 last year, and I think it's a top reason why a lot of us are not seeing the manifestation results that we want these days. If you are in a state of constant threat, manifestation does not work. Being stressed or anxious or burnt out or in a shame spiral activates your sympathetic nervous system, your fight or flight response. When you are in fight or flight, your amygdala takes control. Remember how we had to train our brains to override that propensity to only be scanning for threats, to only be trying to keep us alive? When your amygdala takes control, that propensity is on steroids. Your brain shuts down its prefrontal cortex, which is the part responsible for complex decision making and creativity and, importantly, value tagging. Meaning, your RAS cannot look for

Starting point is 00:22:32 ways to get your dream life or your dream house or your dream partner because it cannot tag those as values. When your amygdala is in control, its only value is to keep you alive. I had Dr. James Doty, a Stanford neuroscientist on the podcast to talk about this. I will link that episode for you in the show notes because it is wild. He manifested literally tens of millions of dollars after a childhood spent in poverty, and he shares exactly how he did that. But Dr. Doty's research has found that to tag a goal in your RAS, you have to be in a state of psychological safety. You need to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the rest and digest mode. This is why my past vision board failed. I was making it from a place of I need these things to be happy because my life sucks right now. I was manifesting from a place

Starting point is 00:23:25 of stress and overwhelm. Every time I looked at my vision board, I saw what I didn't have, which made me feel like my life wasn't enough, like I wasn't enough, which made me more stressed, which made my vision board less effective. Dr. Doty's research found that before you try to manifest anything, you have to regulate your nervous system first. He found that intentionally regulating your nervous system shifts your brain out of that threat state and back into safety, which turns your prefrontal cortex back on, and it allows you to start successfully value tagging again. His work found that the best way to do that was via compassion, gratitude, and calming practices like breathing exercises. So he recommends doing a few minutes of slow breathing where your exhales are longer

Starting point is 00:24:14 than your inhales before looking at your vision or your action board. Do a gratitude practice and ask what you love about your life as it is and then ask yourself, what do I want to call in? It is only when you manifest from safety that your brain can tag your goals as possible. instead of as just evidence that something is wrong with you. The big, big takeaway that I have from his research is get calm first in any possible way that you can and then manifest second. This is the one thing to do before you manifest anything this year. I find personally that gratitude really does help with that feeling of not enoughness

Starting point is 00:24:56 of my life is shit unless I hit these goals. looking around my life and really consciously and specifically reflecting on what I have is hugely helpful for me. And research shows that one of the best ways to do that is called reverse gratitude. I love this. It's a little grim, but I love it so much. So bear with me. Reverse gratitude is to imagine the things that you do have being taken away from you. So it's not like, I want my dream house. It's like, what if I didn't have a house at all? What if I didn't have my health? What if I didn't have the... person that I love so much in my life. It is grim. Like I said, it's morbid, but it is hugely

Starting point is 00:25:36 effective, both in research and then also in my lived experience. It's one of my absolute most effective ways I've found to tap into a sense of gratitude versus just like listing like, I'm grateful for this. I'm grateful for this. It's like, what if I didn't have this? What if I didn't have this? So that's another tip, another little practice to pair with manifestation so that your manifestation actually works. And then I also want to add, the thing that's helped me the most with that feeling of not enoughness is finding ways to enjoy the journey. How can I enjoy the days building to everything on my vision board? How can I enjoy learning the skills and taking the baby steps? Because that is the stuff that really makes up our lives. And if we can learn to find

Starting point is 00:26:24 satisfaction in that, that's going to be the real thing that makes our lives feel noticeably different. It also shifts the message that you're telling your brain from, I want this thing so that I can be enough to I am already enough. My life is already enough. And I can want to grow. I can want to expand. That shift alone is going to change how your brain encodes your goals. One frames your goal as relief from danger, which, again, is going to make value tagging literally not possible because you're in that fight or flight state. The other frames it as curiosity. It frames it as growth, which will allow you to value tag and it's going to create far more motivation and it's going to make your manifestation the things that you're manifesting far more likely to come true.

Starting point is 00:27:12 You are worthy just for being you, literally exactly as you are. You are enough. And you can expand. You can grow. You can achieve your biggest goals. Once you can hold both of these truths and really recognize that they are both true, that's when your life is really going to begin to shift. So to recap, yes, manifestation is real and it is science. It is not magic. But if it's not working for you, it could be because you're not tying actions into your dreams. You're not rehearsing obstacles and making plans to overcome them. You're not developing those skills. It could also be because many of the systems in this country, in many countries, they frankly suck. And, and you're not going to let that very true fact rob you of your power.

Starting point is 00:28:03 Or it could be because you are manifesting from a place of stress of not enoughness. And that is literally making it impossible for your brain to make the processes of manifestation work. I hope all of this was helpful. I hope you had like a little bit of an aha moment there. And I hope that we unlocked the manifestation skills that will help all of us turn 2026 into our best year yet. I will let you know at the end of the year if what's on my action board works this time. So stay tuned.
