What if the secret to calling in more isn’t wanting more… but fully receiving what’s already here?
In this week’s episode of EmpowereD with Deanna Merlino, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a recent family trip to Ohio and sharing one of the biggest reminders I received while I was there.
We live in a world that constantly tells us to hi chase the next goal, the next milestone, the next level. And while I wholeheartedly believe in expansion, I also believe one of the most overlooked manifestation practices is learning to genuinely enjoy the life you’re living right now.
In this episode, we talk about the beauty of holding both.
Luxury and simplicity.
Growth and presence.
Ambition and contentment.
From quality time with family and reliving childhood memories to self-care, gratitude, and the little moments that make life so meaningful, I’m sharing why I believe true abundance isn’t found in choosing one or the other - it’s found in embracing all of it.
Because life isn’t meant to be one endless healing session or one endless pursuit of “more.”
It’s meant to be lived.
When you can find joy in the ordinary, gratitude in the present, and peace in the season you’re in while still dreaming bigger…
That’s freedom.
And ironically, that’s when life has a beautiful way of expanding right alongside you.
I hope this episode reminds you to slow down, soak it all in, and remember that the life you’ve been praying for may already be unfolding around you. 🤍

What is EmpowereD with Deanna Merlino?
Welcome to The EmpowereD Podcast.
I’m Deanna Merlino - intuitive mentor, energetics practitioner, retreat host, and multi six-figure entrepreneur. This show is a space where we explore the deeper layers of personal power, energetic leadership, and aligned success.
Here we talk about manifestation, energetics, nervous system regulation, spirituality, universal laws, business, and embodiment - not just from theory, but from lived experience and deep inner work.
After leaving the corporate world, and deciding to make a name for myself in the fitness industry, profound personal loss led me into a deep journey of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual study. I became trained in trauma-informed coaching, somatic healing, many forms of master level energy healing & utilizing tools like Human Design, astrology, NLP and many more, as I searched for deeper truth and alignment in my own life.
Since then, I’ve built multiple six-figure businesses, served thousands of students and clients, and hosted many transformative retreats designed to help people reconnect with their power and create lives that feel deeply aligned.
On this podcast, I share the insights, revelations, and energetic shifts that help you see your life, your power, and your potential more clearly.
If you know you’re here for more - more truth, more freedom, more expansion - you’re in the right place.
And with roughly 150 episodes and counting, get ready to think bigger, see deeper, and embody the next level of exactly who you came here to become.
