258: Why Your Manifestation Isn’t Working (and How to Fix It) with Brigit Esselmont

LauraAura® | Keynote Speaker, Growth Coach, and Entrepreneur of 18 Years

You’ve got the vision board, the affirmations, the moon water, the mantras… so why isn’t your manifestation working?

In this practical-meets-intuitive episode, LauraAura is joined by Brigit Esselmont—founder of Biddy Tarot—for a deep conversation about why manifestation sometimes misses the mark and how to create energetic alignment so you can finally receive what you’ve been calling in.

Brigit demystifies what manifestation actually is, why it’s not about “perfect vibes only,” and how to use tools like tarot to check in with your subconscious, release blocks, and anchor into clarity and direction. PLUS—she pulls cards live for LauraAura about public speaking and visibility 👀

Whether you’re curious about how to bring more “woo” into your workflow or are just ready to stop wondering when your manifestations will actually arrive, this one is for you.


In this episode:

  • What manifestation actually requires (it’s not just wishing on a star)

  • Common blocks that interrupt your ability to receive what you desire

  • How tarot helps reveal what’s holding you back—emotionally, mentally, or energetically

  • The difference between setting goals and creating energetic resonance

  • A live tarot reading on LauraAura’s path with public speaking

  • Simple ways to integrate intuition and energetic tools into your business
