I want to share a little more about how this beautiful chapter came to be—the real, raw journey behind manifesting this peaceful sanctuary I now call home.

As many of you know, the last time I checked in, my kids were in Mexico. Well, I’m happy to report that they are back! My parents flew with them, and suddenly, our house was full—full of love, chaos, and a whole lot of hands-on support, which we definitely needed.

So, here’s the story—how I manifested this home, despite some bumps along the way.

It all started with a clear intention: I wanted a peaceful, nature-surrounded home in a community where I could feel truly at home and safe. I visualized it, felt it, and shared my dreams with Molly Williams, someone I truly see as my manifestation guide. She’s been a steady support system for my family and me, helping us stay tuned into the right frequency, believe in our dreams, and take inspired action. Her wisdom, patience, and encouragement have been invaluable through this process.

The first opportunity came pretty quickly. I found a charming Spanish revival in a great school district in South Pasadena—a home full of character, with arches and original details that got me excited! I remember feeling so lucky, like I was already living that dream. We made an offer, but unfortunately, we were outbid. It was a tough moment—a kind of rejection that stings, but I knew it was part of the process.

We kept going—spending weekends touring other properties, holding space for new possibilities, and staying committed to our vision. Then, another home caught our eye, and we made another offer. It felt promising, but fate had other plans there too.

Through it all, Molly reminded us to stay on the right frequency—to trust, to be patient, and to keep showing up with gratitude and openness. And just as we were about to lose hope, the universe finally delivered.

And I’m thrilled to share that, on our third attempt, after about four to five months of persistence and faith, our offer was accepted on a home that feels absolutely meant to be. We went through a few rounds of rejection on previous homes—each one a lesson in resilience—and I can’t wait to dive into all of those stories when we launch the new season of our podcast soon! :)
