Hey, beautiful soul! I’m Gianna Badot, and today I want to talk about something that hits close to home for many of us: the concept of manifesting your dream life. We’ve all seen it – the endless posts about manifesting your dream life, the power of positive thinking, and visualizing everything you want until it magically appears. Manifestation has become an empowering movement for so many of us. But what happens when you feel worse instead of better the deeper you dive into these practices? That’s exactly what I want to talk about today: the dark side of manifestation that no one seems to discuss.

As a certified hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and coach, I’ve helped countless people harness their subconscious minds to create lasting change. But I’ve also witnessed how focusing only on the positives can quietly contribute to frustration, guilt, and self-sabotage.

Why Does Manifestation Sometimes Backfire?

Here’s the kicker: most manifestation teachings encourage us to zero in on our desires and the good in our lives. And while gratitude and optimism ARE powerful, they shouldn’t cause us to overlook our shadow side—the hidden wounds and unhealed traumas that reside in our subconscious mind.

If you’re only focusing on what you want, you might accidentally be bypassing the parts of you that need the most attention and healing. This isn’t just a mindset issue—this is about addressing the deeper narratives and beliefs that keep resurfacing in sneaky ways, often without you realizing it.

Unhealed Trauma: The Silent Blocker

All trauma, whether big or small, gets stored in the subconscious. When left unaddressed, these wounds start to drive our daily actions and decisions. You might notice patterns like self-sabotage, unhealthy relationships, or repeating negative habits. Often, these struggles are rooted in old, buried pain.

Let’s say you want to increase your income, and you spend all your energy manifesting more money in your business. But if, deep down, a hidden part of you believes you’re not worthy or fears success, you’ll keep sabotaging your progress. No amount of positive thinking can override an unhealed subconscious block.

Why Just “Thinking Good Thoughts” Isn’t Enough

Don’t get me wrong—I wholeheartedly believe in living a positive, grateful life. But positivity by itself won’t heal old wounds. If you ignore the deeper healing work, you’re blocking what you want from coming into your life. In other words, you can’t plant new seeds in a garden overrun with weeds and expect beautiful flowers to grow.

The foundation of true manifestation lies in your subconscious mind. You have to become aware of what needs healing—those old stories, beliefs, or traumas—and do the inner work to clear them out. That’s when new, empowering beliefs can truly take root and help you manifest what you desire with so much more ease and speed.

How Do You Start Healing and Manifesting?

Begin by taking an honest look at your history and present struggles. Is there an old wound, a stubborn story, or a traumatic memory lingering in your subconscious? It doesn’t matter if it’s a major trauma or a lingering insecurity—you deserve the space to heal it.

Once you do this deeper work, you’ll make space for your manifestations to flow in. Through subconscious healing techniques like hypnotherapy, meditation, and self-inquiry (all of which I share in the Rewired App), you’ll learn to rewire your mind for success.

Ready to Manifest More—But Better?

The journey to manifesting everything you dream of starts with healing parts of you that need the most love and attention. When you do this, you won’t just feel lighter—you’ll finally see your desires flowing into your reality.
