And the reason why I can say that unapologetically is because I know that you are one of 1 numero uno. You cannot be replicated, duplicated. And the only reason I mean, the only reason you think

Troy Washington:to them and saying, I'm not them. But guess what? You are you, and that's all you need. And I promise you. I promise you.
Troy Washington:If you believe that, sky's the limit. Of course, it's yours truly Troy Washington, your friendly neighborhood realtor. And I have my boy, Jay Clay, spiritual rapper and teacher. And we got a special guest today, Betty. Shouts out to Betty.

Troy Washington:That's what's up. That's what's up. You are perfect. You are perfect.

Troy Washington:But go ahead, Jay.
JClay:Not only that. Depending on where you're watching, you can click the link and subscribe to our calendar so you always know what the next topic is and all those topics and stuff. So yeah. But, today's topic is manifesting 101. Stop trying so hard and let good things come.
JClay:And, you know, we we're gonna talk about, like, what manifesting really is, why trying too hard blocks it, the formula, the actual practical steps you could take. And I don't know, Betty, she's a she's an expert on this. So, yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm looking forward to this conversation.
Troy Washington:Yeah, man. So I'm gonna tell you when I first heard this, the thing that came to my mind more than anything is getting back to the basics. Anytime I hear 101 anything, it's like, this is the start of class. If I didn't know anything about manifesting, if I didn't know where to go, how to start, how to do it, how to get out of my own way, I would wanna be 101. And when I think about 101 is really, wiping the slate clean.
Troy Washington:Anything that I thought that I know, I wanna make sure that today that's on the back burner. But go ahead, Jay.
JClay:Yeah. Well, not sorry, Betty. What what does manifesting really mean to you? Like, what what would you say it is?
Betty Guadagno:You know what? I really like what Troy just said. And then the really cool thing about manifesting is that you're always in 101 because it's simple. It's elementary. It's super, super simple.
Betty Guadagno:The more that you try to complicate it and come in with, like, all of this really fancy stuff, the less it will work. So, I love that. I always wanna be, like, in the introductory to manifesting because that's the time of the highest excitement, which is how manifestations come to fruition. So what do I think manifesting is? Well, manifesting is the law of attraction, which is a universal spiritual law that says that like attracts like.
Betty Guadagno:So the universe is a gigantic echo chamber. So everything that I put out, I will hear and receive back to me. Everything I give, I receive. It's one of the lessons in A Course in Miracles. It's law of attraction based.
Betty Guadagno:So for me, manifesting is just that. Like, everything that I put out, I receive back. So if I put out a a an emotion or a thought of, man, I always I never win. I never win. The universe just says she never wins.
Betty Guadagno:The universe doesn't say, hey. Let me give her some exciting thing that will make her feel like a winner. The universe is always responding to what I'm putting out. And to me, that's the core of the law of attraction.
JClay:So, to well, to both of y'all, like, does will come into place at all in manifesting? Like, are you like, do you will it? Do you have to force it to happen? Is it a mixture of forcing and not forcing? Like, how does will come into place?
JClay:Like, you know, we're gonna will this into existence.
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. Definitely. No. That is the opposite. Like, law of attraction is all about surrender and flow, which is something as humans that we're not taught about.
Betty Guadagno:Right? Like, we think that we have to fix, manage, and control everything. The ego wants to be part of every aspect of life. The law of attraction is literally about just being in the flow of receiving something. So the more that you say that you want something, the more that you affirm to the universe that you do not have it.
Betty Guadagno:So you say, I'm gonna be a millionaire. All the universe hears is he's not a millionaire, and it will just keep playing that back and back and back to you.
Troy Washington:And I I guess from my standpoint so I agree with you 100%. I don't think Will has anything to do with it. The way that I would describe it in my own mind is belief. And the reason why I say that is, it's not the sensation or the thought process of wanting something. It's the belief that you already have it.
Troy Washington:And so or or or that it's, and and again, when I say attainable, I'm not standing from the standpoint of not having, but meaning it's something like, I know I can attain. I can get water. All I have to do is go into the kitchen to get it. So I think that having the belief that everything is attainable, if I don't see it directly in front of me, I can, you know, touch it, then I think that's important in it as well. And I think that for myself, the the biggest lesson that I get more than anything, again, having kids, to your point, Betty, what you put out in the universe is a thing that's gonna continue to come back to you.
Troy Washington:And so, you know, one of the things I tell my kids all the time, don't say that you're gonna lose or don't say that it didn't happen or don't say this because you're going you're you're inviting that situation. Right? But when I say it comes back to me, there are plenty times where I have been impossible situations, like impossible. And I can't do anything but vocalize and verbalize how I feel in the moment. But low and behold, my kids are right there saying, don't say that.
Troy Washington:Because if you say that, it's gonna happen. And even in my mind, when I've deemed something to be soup or really impossible, me hearing that is like a tick. Like, dang. That is something that I believe, and I'm not believing it right now. But go ahead, Betty.
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. That's so amazing. I love that awareness. I love that you're, helping your children to understand that too. As you were talking about it, I was thinking of this one of those hope core videos.
Betty Guadagno:I try to trick my algorithm to only show me, like, happy, hopeful videos. But there's one of a dad and his son, and the son is trying to climb up this ramp and, like, hit the top. And he keeps trying and trying, and he's not doing it. And the kid's totally defeated. And the dad just takes him to the side and says, see yourself up there.
Betty Guadagno:See yourself hitting it. Feel how happy you're gonna be once you do it. And the kid tries one more time, and he nails it. And it's so amazing. And, yeah, your story just brought that to my head.
JClay:So so question to that, and I'm I'm playing devil's advocate because y'all know how how I am. But what would you say to people that say, well, that's you you're you're being delusional. Like, you're you're living in a world that is not reality. Like, no. Reality says you don't have this, and you're walking around like, yes.
JClay:I can have this at any moment. What would you say to that?
Betty Guadagno:That's really that's a really good, good point that you're bringing up. Yeah. You know, does it bring you joy? So, you know, if my delusion, quote, unquote, delusion is hurting someone else, if it's making me mean and bitter and spiteful, and I'm actually harming other people because of it, then maybe I have to look at myself. But if I'm not bothering anybody by affirming that I live in a penthouse in Midtown Manhattan and I have a home in LA, I don't know why it would bother anybody else.
Betty Guadagno:So I do also feel like the law of attraction works in this way, where it sends us reflections of ourself. So if you're having people around you who are reflecting feelings of self doubt or doubt in this belief system, it probably means that there's some underlying piece of yourself that you still have to heal because you wouldn't be getting reflections like that in your life if it wasn't something that needed to be addressed.
Troy Washington:To your point, though, I I gotta say this, and I I will read that in a second. You are 100% right about the reflection of yourself. And the reason why I know that is because we know for a fact, Jay, there are people who want to be around us, but know, well, if I go around Jay Clay, this is what's gonna happen. Or if I go around Troy, this is what I'm go what's gonna happen. And what they will do is they will refrain from being around us, or when they come around us, they'll be a certain way because we've literally set up what we want our reflection to look like.
Troy Washington:That's number 1. The second part to that is, when it comes to what how our response to those people would be, prove to me otherwise. Right? And the reason and, again, I don't know that it would I don't know that it would ever get to this point because I don't know that anybody would come to me and say this. But if they would, I would say proof to me that, because I can show you how everything that I have is what I want.
Troy Washington:I know for a fact. And I also know how everything that I didn't want or I've said that I wanted that I haven't been able to recognize or realize that I have is because there is a lack of belief. I know that for a fact. And so it's it's easy for me to explain that, hey. The reason why I'm not, a millionaire in in in, music now is because I never believed that's that's what I was.
Troy Washington:And, the, you know, the key that I always tell my kids now to your point about running up the ramp, Betty, all the time, the question that I ask my kids is, who is the best person on the court? All the time. And I make them say that I'm the best person on the court because to me, what that indicates is there's not a limitation. It doesn't matter who's out there with me. I can play with or beat anybody.
Troy Washington:And so I'm not gonna come up against the opposition of it doesn't mean I'm not gonna lose, but that does that also means that I'm not gonna that that also means that I can have an opportunity to win every single time. But go ahead.
JClay:Yeah. I wanna read with, I don't know if it's Christine or Chris Tyne because there's a space in there. But, they say my my mom calls it acting as if acting as as if it will happen, acting as if you are positive, a positive happy person, acting as if you already have the job. And I and I wanna I wanna comment on that and kinda ask a question. So I know sometimes when you're acting, you have in the back of your mind that you're acting, that you're playing
Troy Washington:a role.
JClay:And sometimes it can make sometimes that can benefit you just depending on the role that you're you're assuming. But how does that work with with manifesting? And and I'll I'll give a real example. So sometimes if I know I have to step into a space that I'm not usually stepping into, I'll kinda put on like that just invincibleness. And it it's almost it's like, why don't I put a why don't I just leave that on?
JClay:But I but I I choose to put it on at certain times, and it works. But could that be a hindrance as well since I sometimes feel that it's taken off, if that makes sense?
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. I'd love to comment on this. So I to what you're saying, Jay, what comes to my mind is, like, god sent me here. Right? Every time I walk into a room, every time I do something new and uncomfortable, I have to remind myself, god sent me here.
Betty Guadagno:Now, like, boosting up your confidence is one thing. Acting as if I think can be a really good tool. Here's the problem with it. Right? If that was completely true, then we would all be billionaires.
Betty Guadagno:Right? Because I could just act as if. But but the more that I act like a billionaire, the further into debt I go and the further down my credit score goes and, like, all of this crazy stuff because I can't act as if when it comes to manifesting something like financial abundance or some something physical. Now you can act as if with embodying spiritual principles, you can act more patient. You can act more tolerant, and, eventually, that will start to take shape, and those things will start to manifest in your life because you'll be coming up against situations where you need to act more patient and tolerant, and you'll already be acting as if you are as if you are that way.
Betty Guadagno:So the thing about manifesting that I think a lot of law of attraction coaches or just a lot of people in this realm don't understand is that we are all highly traumatized people. I mean, I am anyway. So the more that I affirm something that, like, you know, I am abundant, but I grew up really poor. So, like, I don't believe that I can be financially abundant. So I have to go in and do the deep cleaning spiritual work.
Betty Guadagno:I need to clear out my underlying wounds that are making the same thing happen over and over again. So, like and and I I I don't wanna affirm that I'm a traumatized person because I saw Jay's face. I'm not a traumatized person. I am a healed person. He helps people heal.
Betty Guadagno:But what I'm saying is that a lot of us have underlying belief systems. All of us do. We all come into form. We learn everything backwards, and then at some point in our spiritual journey or our human journey, we start to unlearn those things and relearn things in a new way. And it's the same thing with utilizing the law of attraction.
Betty Guadagno:I just can't affirm, like, I have a hot, handsome, hunky guy who's really secure, and he's super wealthy, and he wants to take care of me and blah blah blah blah blah. Right? Because I watched the opposite of that growing up. So I need to go and I need to dissect my love beliefs so that I can actually welcome in that hot, hunky, secure, but, you know, like, financially abundant man into my life, and not coming from a place of lack or a place of, like like, yeah. Like, I just I could never have this.
Betty Guadagno:And instead, healing all those underlying wounds, such a huge part of the law of attraction, and I never hear anybody talking about it.
Troy Washington:So I wanna add to this. So okay. It's 2 things here. Right? To Jay's point about the acting and always knowing that you're acting, which what what happens in that is there's if you know that you're acting, then you have the belief issue.
Troy Washington:That's number 1. So you have this this issue where you true you don't truly believe what you're doing. You know it's an act, so you cannot manifest something that you don't believe to be real. That's number 1. But the catch to this is I do like the acting part of it because but but there's a a caveat here.
Troy Washington:To Betty's point, like, when you're talking about manifesting a $1,000,000,000 as an example, do I believe it's possible by you acting like a billionaire? Yes. I yes. I do. But the catch here is what does acting like a billionaire really look like?
Troy Washington:And so what happens is when we get to manifesting things, we just have a general thought, and we don't really know what it looks like as if every billionaire is the same. But there every billionaire is not the same. Every lifestyle that they live is not the same. All the way that they spend their money is not the same. So there is you cannot have truth and truth I mean, you cannot have belief as something that you don't really know what it looks like.
Troy Washington:Now if you were to say that I want to be be a billionaire and I'm going to act like a billionaire, and I'm able to say, well, hey. Me looking at, Bill Gates, all he does is this, this, this, and this every single day, and he does it this way, this way, this way. And I start to take on these behaviors. Now number 1, the first thing I might realize is I don't wanna be a billionaire. That's first thing because I don't wanna live this way.
Troy Washington:But the second part is if I am consistent and I do everything that I'm supposed to do to the t, then I don't see how you don't become a billionaire because you're you're actually taking on a specific set of, behaviors, guides, and rules that lead you down the way. Every every billionaire in my mind again, and I don't know this, but all of them knew that they were gonna be billionaires. All of them acted as if they were gonna be billionaires, and they walked a specific path. Bill Gates followed somebody that did exactly what he did and became a billionaire. Right?
Troy Washington:And so I think that there's there's, God in the details. Right? Yeah. When you say that you wanna act, your your, your you you wanna act like something to manifest it, what truly does that look like? Or are you just having a blanket statement and say or believing that it's all the same across the board when it's not really like that?
Troy Washington:But go ahead.
JClay:Yeah. So it okay. Okay. So it it sounds like it's it's a it's a couple of things here at play. So the acting is if you brought up a good point, Troy, that you have to know what you're really acting as.
JClay:Like, are you acting as their version of it or your version of it? Like, do you have an idea of your version of it? And to what Betty's saying as well, I love that, like, you know, core beliefs does mean something because you could be attracting something you don't wanna attract. Now what's cool though that it sounds like when you're acting as if even for the moment, like you could you could start attracting what you really want again. But it might not be as strong because you have a strong pull in the other direction.
JClay:And one example that I've given 100 of thousands of times was me in college, lost scholarship. I didn't know what to do. I thought about the worst case scenarios. I thought about the best case scenarios. And I was like, well, shoot.
JClay:I can't I'm just gonna keep going to class. I'd I'd filled out all the scholarships I could do. I'm just gonna go to class. The last minute, my department head found me, and he was like, hey. I found you.
JClay:I sent the scholarship to the to the payment department, and you're good to go. I was like, what? Because I didn't know what I was gonna do, but I just acted as if everything was alright. Even though I don't I didn't know if everything was gonna be alright, but I didn't know that it wouldn't wouldn't be alright. So I I I I just, like, forego the thought and just, you know, acted as if.
JClay:So I I I guess to to to bring that into play, what what's the right is there a right move here? Like, is there something that I'm missing? We're good.
Betty Guadagno:So I I wanna comment on this because the the only way to properly manifest is that you have to detach from outcome, which is the hardest part. Right? Because I wanna know when it's gonna happen, how it's gonna happen, what am I gonna be wearing when it happens, what location will I be in. Again, like, my ego wants to have control over the situation. So what you did was that you put in the action steps, which is part of manifesting too.
Betty Guadagno:You have to, you know, call out your desire and then find the action steps to make that manifestation start to come into fruition. It's not I can't just sit here on a pillow and say, like, I I am financially abundant. I you know, like, my dream apartment. I'm living in my dream apartment. No.
Betty Guadagno:I have to go and, like, put in applications to get my dream apartment. I need to talk to the real estate agent. I need to do the things to get the dream apartment. I can't just sit here and try will be my real estate agent. Don't worry, Troy.
Betty Guadagno:But so to this, though, you detached from outcome. You just said, this is in God's hand. I I did everything that I can do, and I'm gonna let go. And I have a similar story, and I wanna share it. I'll be real quick.
Betty Guadagno:But I had won a housing lottery. I live in New York City, and I won this housing lottery. And I was like, woah. This is incredible. But I only have $20 in my bank account.
Betty Guadagno:I was not doing well financially at the moment. Right? And I was like, but wait. If God gave me the housing lottery, God will surely give me a way to pay for it. And I just detached.
Betty Guadagno:I started packing boxes. I was like, I'm moving. I don't know how it's gonna happen, but I know that it's gonna happen. And I haven't gotten a tax return in 15 years, and that next week, I got a tax return, And I needed $1862 to move into the apartment, and my tax return was $1826. So I have a little bit of a dyslexic angel working in my law of attraction shop, but I just detached it.
Betty Guadagno:I just knew that it was meant for me and it was gonna come my way, and then it did actually happen that way. So that's a a huge point. Thanks, Jay.
Troy Washington:Yeah. And, just kinda piggyback on, Betty. Listen. I live that way. Like, when it comes to the financial part of it, like, there are plenty of times where, like and I'm I'm talking about on a consistent basis where I don't know what next month's going to bring per se, but I know that it's going to be okay.
Troy Washington:So that's number 1. But but going back to the point that I'm making as well, and, again, I don't like to necessarily be the bible quoter, but I will quote that much. One of the things that I know I read is make it plain, and it goes back to the point that I'm making about the vision of it. And I also wanna cosign even with me telling you that the reason like, when you're acting as something, you don't you're not really acting as that because you don't know the details of that that acting job. So I would encourage for anybody to make it plain, act as such, but to Betty's point is don't marry yourself to the outcome.
Troy Washington:And the reason why I say this 100% is because every successful person that I've ever seen, right, when they get to that that pivotal moment where they're able to express their true feelings, the one thing that I've heard them all say, Jay, you notice I always talk about this was they always say that it's surreal. They never imagined that it would be exactly what it is. They they knew that they were gonna be successful. They knew that they were gonna do these things, but the magnitude of the place that they're in, they never knew. And so when you marry yourself to that end outcome, it's it's no way because you don't you don't you can't quantify and understand what your steps do because they're not like anybody else's, even though you may be acting like someone else.
Troy Washington:So I I'm just, a big believer in that in when it comes to this manifesting thing, which is why the people do vision boards, is you have to have something in your mind's eye. Betty has something in her mind's eye about her apartment. Though she didn't know how to, she saw that it was resolved, and she can see it clearly. I'm in this place. Jay knew it's resolved.
Troy Washington:I don't know how, but I see myself in this place. And I think being able to see yourself regardless if you have the steps or the pathway to get there is important. That's another form of acting.
JClay:So so I wanna, I wanna clarify something you said, Troy, about successful people. Yes. We do that. You said they, like, no. Right?
Troy Washington:Right. That's my that's my that's my bank.
JClay:Yeah. So, and I want to let me read a comment real quick. Shout out to Diane. She said, Betty, you are an inspiration. It's
Betty Guadagno:my aunt.
JClay:I want to switch gears, girl. I wanna switch gears real quick. We we kinda touched on this, but, like, why trying too hard blocks manifestation? I know, Betty, you talked about that action and, you know, action. Yeah.
JClay:I believe it's a it's an important part in manifesting, but could action become like, is there a line between trying too hard in the action, and and what is that, and why does it block manifestation?
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. So trying too hard blocks manifestation because, again, it affirms to the universe, I do not have this thing. So, you know, like, how Jay just shared, he took the action. Right? Scholarship's gone.
Betty Guadagno:Doesn't know how he's gonna pay for school. The action step was filling out the scholarship applications. The release is what made that manifestation come to fruition. So, you know, when when you're in a constant state of doing and going for something, which doesn't mean, like, do nothing. You know?
Betty Guadagno:Like, it's just like this weird little line. If it brings you joy, keep doing it. If it becomes a chore to, like, try to make a manifestation come into fruition, the universe is never gonna let it come to fruition because it's not something that brings you joy. And so you're putting out that energy of, god, this is so much work. I hate doing this.
Betty Guadagno:And the universe is like, yeah. She hates doing this. No good. Duh, duh, duh. So trying too hard is definitely a huge block, but, you know, I I enjoy the work that goes into actively consciously manifest manifesting.
Betty Guadagno:This right here, this pen, this is a magic wand. This isn't as close as I'm going to get to being in Harry Potter. I write down everything that it is I desire. That's my action. Sometimes it's just that.
Betty Guadagno:I once wrote out a list of 300 things that I wanted, that I desire. Sorry. Don't ever say want when you're trying to manifest, but, when you're manifesting. This is so much language to it. Like, language is a big part of the belief system.
Betty Guadagno:So I wrote down a list of 300 things that I desired. I did that 5 years ago. Out of that list of 300 things, a 180 of those things have come true just by writing it down. If the universe doesn't know what it is that you desire, how is it supposed to come to fruition? So that's that's that's just as simple as action can get.
Troy Washington:So so, again, Betty, you you're on it today. You are inspiring like your aunt said. And I again, I'm a I'm a firm believer in writing stuff down as an action as well. Because literally and and and I'm I wanna hit myself in the head right now just because I'm about to say this, But literally everything that I ever write down, I get just so you know. I every single time, I'm I'm I'm mad at myself just thinking about it.
Troy Washington:But when we talk about, blocking manifestation, the thing that comes to my mind, Betty, you don't know is I substitute sometimes whenever I don't have when I have some free time. And, you know, I'm around these kids and just kinda give you an example of something that happened before. There's this kid. He was doing something in the classroom. I took his toy.
Troy Washington:Right? Now I know he wanted his toy back. Think about this. He he he doesn't have to tell me I know. But I know this because his desire has to be so great for his manifestation to infiltrate who I am.
Troy Washington:Like, why would I just not take the toy and just not assume that the kid does not want the toy anymore? But everything in me tells me this kid wants this toy back. Right? So in my mind, I'm thinking, okay. I'm a give him his toy back at this point, or I'm a give him a toy back at this point, or I'm a give my toy.
Troy Washington:So I've already made my decision on what's gonna happen. His manifestation is already real. He just doesn't know it yet. But he comes to me and says, can he have my can I have my toy back? And so but me, I'm like, no.
Troy Washington:You can't have your toy back now. So that's the first thought. I'm still gonna give him at this next time. But he comes back and asked me, hey. Can I have my toy back now?
Troy Washington:So now he's x'd out the other one. Like, no. You're not getting this toy back. You just wait till I give you the toy, and I'm gonna give you the toy. Right?
Troy Washington:And so then this last time he he comes, and I already gonna give him his toy, but he's pressing. I'm going to make this happen. You're gonna give me my toy? No. You're not getting your toy back.
Troy Washington:And so the reason why I bring that up is that's what I think blocking manifestation looks like. It's already there, and it's going to come. But I've decided when it's supposed to happen. I decided how it's supposed to happen, and I've determined that it's gonna happen at this point. Well, no.
Troy Washington:It doesn't work like that. So now all the gears that were in the works in order for me to make it happen, I've stopped them because I'm inserting something that's not necessary. But go ahead. That's my thoughts.
JClay:Yeah. I love that. I mean yeah. And it and it's true. And so okay.
JClay:So we we talked about, like, you you have an outcome in your head. You take the action. You you take an action for it, and then there's a letting go. Now I've had instances where I've taken action. I I let it go, but
Troy Washington:it was more like I
JClay:I mean, I give up. This is not gonna happen. So could it, like, is that a block? Is that a manifestation of of itself? And and what's the difference between that?
JClay:And when I said with my scholarship, when I said, okay, I did everything I could do, I give up. I'm just gonna keep going to class and see what happens. Like, what what's the difference between that and I give up. This is never gonna happen.
Betty Guadagno:Well, I think the I think the difference is I let go and I give up. So, again, the universe is an echo chamber. Like, it's the simplest way that I can put it. You're yelling out into a cave, and it's responding back to you. So if you say, I give up and your energy is defeatist, like, no.
Betty Guadagno:This is never gonna happen. I give up. The universe says, this is never gonna happen. They gave up. But if you say, I let go.
Betty Guadagno:I did everything I could. I let go. The universe says, he did everything he could. He let go. And now we can come in, swoop in, and make it happen.
Betty Guadagno:It's just about, like, this flow. It's literally you can picture a stream. You can picture a river. If you're fighting against the current, trying to grab that toy, which is what we all are. Right?
Betty Guadagno:We're all these spoiled children. Like, we're god's children. We're like, give me one big. I want my big. And god is like, you have to wait.
Betty Guadagno:Like, just wait until it can come into the 3rd density. Like, we need there's a little time space continuum here. Just give it a minute. But, you know, like, that defeatist attitude will be echoed back.
Troy Washington:So I'm a bring you back to this toy real quick so I can tell y'all the end of the story. Alright? And it's going I feel like it's going to, you know, make way for what you were just saying. Now mind you, I wanna tell you what this toy was. This was a little bitty bouncy ball that you can bounce in the bounce off.
Troy Washington:You know those balls the kids want. Right? And so, again, he wanted it. I knew it. So his manifestation was already in the works, and I told him no three times.
Troy Washington:He I think he actually gave up because everything in his body language and everything told me he didn't want the toy anymore. So because his body language gave up, I forgot about the toy. I forgot about it. It was in my pocket. And the only reason I remembered the toy is because when I got home, I pulled the toy out of my pocket.
Troy Washington:Now mind you, this is me thinking that he's given up and not let go. Right? And so I get to the house, and I see the toy in my pocket, and I'm like, dang. And Brody's like, dad, you took that toy from school. Like, you supposed to take that you supposed to take that back to the school.
Troy Washington:So in my mind, I'm thinking to myself, how in the world did I forget to give this kid this toy back? Right? And so, again, just to come around to the point that we're making, I think that's a a a difference. And the the the thing is before he ever asked me for a toy, everything in his body, everything in his being showed me that he wanted it. So I made the determination that I was gonna give it to him.
Troy Washington:But at the point that he gave up, his entire body language changed, and so did mine. So did the manifest manifestation go away because it was no longer desired anymore. But go ahead, Jay.
JClay:Yeah. Man, that that's powerful. Because it's it's got me thinking about a lot a lot of times that I might have been right there. I might have been right next right in front of the person who could who could give me this perceived blessing or whatever you wanna call it, this manifestation, but I I I x ed it out. I stopped it from coming.
JClay:I I defeated myself, because I felt defeat defeat it because of that overaction. Because, you know, you you you keep doing action when you don't believe it's working. And that makes a lot of sense now too. And I'm thinking of so many ways that I've done way more action than I wanted and how, like, now my life is is so much about ease and relaxing because I did so much action back in the day, and I don't ever wanna do that again. Go ahead.
JClay:Yeah.
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. I I wanna comment on this because it's all, like, so so beautiful, so entwined. So, you know, I think damn, I totally lost my thought. It will I will manifest it back into my reality, though.
Troy Washington:No. But but for myself, again, I'm grateful. Because something that I I I know for a fact that I want to happen is I want to realize how strong I am when it comes to manifestation. Something I desire, shout out to Betty, is to realize how strong I am when it comes to manifestation. And fortunately for me, doing the job that I do, I'm able to see it because kids show you everything.
Troy Washington:They they because they don't they don't necessarily have a choice but to reflect because they haven't realized what they can give to the world yet. So all day when I'm around kids, including my own, the only thing that I get back are things that I put I put out. And that will also show you your lack of belief in manifestation as well.
Betty Guadagno:Okay. I remember what I was gonna say, and that's totally on point, Troy. I really appreciate you saying that. Because, you know, we have a we have a saying about kids being like sponges, but it's because they absorb everything. It's a it is a reflection in a in a different way.
Betty Guadagno:So in I'm a member of 12 step fellowship. Any you know, like, coming into the recovery process, letting go of all of these behaviors, patterns, substances that were destroying my life, I wanted recovery immediately. Give me what I want now. I'm not waiting for this manifestation. I wanna get to the end of the journey.
Betty Guadagno:I want to be recovered. And, you know, everybody in 12 step was like, the joy is in the journey. I wish you a slow recovery, and I was like, ew. Please stop talking to me. This is super insulting.
Betty Guadagno:But we do have one saying in 12 step fellowship, and it's don't leave 5 minutes before the miracle. K. So we watch people come in. They're beat up, you know, and they just want their pain to stop. And the only way that they know how to make their pain stop is to use a substance because that's what's given them some sort of relief in the past even if it's made their life unmanageable.
Betty Guadagno:So I think the same thing about what Jay was just saying, You know? Like, don't give up. Like, don't leave 5 minutes before the miracle. Again, if it seems like too much work and it's not bringing you joy, then maybe it's not a manifestation that's supposed to come into fruition. I've used all of my techniques to manifest certain things in my life, and they have not come to fruition because they are not meant for me.
Betty Guadagno:And not right now. Like, I had written on that list of 300 things, 2 places that I wanted to get a job at, and there were just, like, 2 applications that I had sent in. And and I was waiting to see if they would come to fruition. So I wrote them both down. Well, I've had one of the jobs for the last 5 years, and the other job, I just got an offer from that company, like, 2 weeks ago.
Betty Guadagno:And and it was, again, like, I even forgot that I even wanted that until it came back into my life. So there's something to be said there as well. Like, detaching from outcome is such a powerful tool and technique in this in this realm of manifesting.
JClay:I I have a question to that, but first, I wanna read what Alex asked because my question is kinda related to this. He said, how do I know if what I'm manifesting is the universe's priority for me? Could I be distracted by my desires and overlook actions that heal slash uplift myself and others? And and to I'm a get to you, Troy. But, before I I wanna add to this question too.
JClay:Like like, how do you know it's not a I'm trying to think how to say it. Like, when you switch what you want, like, you're manifesting something. You're like, you know what? I don't want that anymore. Let me go here.
JClay:But but go ahead, Troy.
Troy Washington:Yeah. So you can leave that up too. So so that way I can so so this is the deal, Alex. And and this is the first and most important thing that I I think I can say to what you're saying. Everything in the universe is for you.
Troy Washington:Like, it's not like something it's not there there are gonna be things that you don't like. There are gonna be things that you're not as interested in or you don't love as much, but everything is for you. So how do I know if what I'm manifesting in the universe is priority for me? That's you you find that out by going through it. I think that's the beauty most beautiful part about life.
Troy Washington:You know, we we tell, kids and we tell people that we we love, try things. And then if you don't like it, switch it up, find something else that you wanna do. But the beauty in everything that you try, there's always something that you can take out of it that you love. That's just how I look at everything. There's always a a, a a a lesson.
Troy Washington:And so as an example, you know, before I became a real estate broker, I worked. I was working in corporate America for for my whole life. And I you you would swear if you talk to me at that time that I hated it or I was misplaced or, you know, all of these things, but I I kinda just went through the process. Now the funniest thing about it while while I was working in corporate America, they used to make me do these CBTs, which are, like, trainings online, computer based trainings all the time. And they were about how businesses are run and all of these different things to look out for.
Troy Washington:And, again, I hated all of this stuff. The moment when I stopped working in corporate America and I started to develop my own job or to develop my own business, the first thing that came to my mind was all the stuff that I learned while I was there, the stuff that I hated. And it's what made way for me to be successful in the things that I'm doing today. Now, again, could I have left sooner? Of course.
Troy Washington:When I decided that I wasn't happy, I still could have taken the knowledge that I've gained at that time and utilized it somewhere else. But the beauty of it is, again, not to say that I had to go through that to learn what I learned, but I did go through that and learn what I learned, and that's why I am where I am today. And so I don't think that, you know, priority comes when you decide this is what you want, and then you make it your priority. You gotta live a little bit. But that's just my that's just my take.
Troy Washington:Yeah.
JClay:Go ahead, Betty.
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. Yeah. Hi, Alex. Love you. Okay.
Betty Guadagno:So, here's a couple things that came up for me while contemplating this and what you guys just shared. So I just shared before, right, the joy is in the journey. If you stop being if if the manifestation stops exciting you, that's okay. You're constantly becoming a new version of yourself. Maybe you needed those action steps that you were taking to create that new experience for yourself to become a more actualized authentic version of yourself.
Betty Guadagno:And then you're like, oh, you know what? Maybe money isn't my highest priority anymore. It's actually being of service, and I'd rather do that. Another thing about priority is that what's meant for you will always find its way to you. Okay?
Betty Guadagno:So not only do I teach people about the law of attraction, but I'm also I have a very deep spiritual belief in pre birth planning. I believe that before we come to Earth, we've mapped out major plot points in our life that also includes our parents, our partners, our children, even, like, the corporations that will work for, like, what we'll do with our, you know, mission, our purpose. Those things are already mapped out. There's no way to mess that up, and that should give you some relief. It like, for me, it's like, oh, okay.
Betty Guadagno:I can detach because if it's meant for me, it's gonna happen no matter what. So that belief has to stay in the forefront for me while I'm on this journey of understanding how to manipulate energy on earth because god wants everything for you. The universe wants, like, your highest excitement, your highest joy, all of your happiness. It doesn't mean that your whole life is like that. Obviously, we're human.
Betty Guadagno:We're gonna experience lots of different things, but it's not like you have this desire in your heart and god is like, no. He can't have that. Like, god wants you to have everything. But is your desire aligned with spiritual principles? Like, for me, that's the thing that really helps manifestations come to fruition too.
Betty Guadagno:So if I have, like, a selfish self centered thought system on why I may want this manifestation, Like, I'm not calling you guys out. I'm just talking about, like, anybody. But if I was like, I wanna be a musician because I wanna get lots of girls with big boobies and big butts, and I want everybody to pay attention to me. Not calling me that you just that you might. But, and then so, right, my motives are not they're not spiritually based.
Betty Guadagno:They're not spiritually minded. So the universe doesn't have a lot to do with that because I could cause more harm by having that manifestation come to fruition.
JClay:But what if all of those women are spiritual people? Now let me stop. I'm
Troy Washington:a say something, and then I'm a have to jump out because they're gonna walk out and saw some of my kids come out, and I know it's gonna be loud in here. But I wanna say this too. And, again, I'm saying this to say that I 100 percent wholeheartedly agree with what Betty is saying, number 1. But I will also say that sometimes the selfishness that your your your desire, the the the the driving force behind it, it could be selfish, but you're not a selfish person and you don't recognize it. And I and I don't know if that really makes sense to what I'm saying, but what I'm telling you is as long as there is, even in a selfish act, as long as you truly 100% wholeheartedly believe and you're able to release yourself from it, then I think that it's still attainable.
Troy Washington:And that's just kinda how I think about it. But, I'm a let y'all they they just got in the car, so I'm a let y'all, get out of here. Betty, you gotta know that you are dope. And, man, I I just think you need to be on with us even more just because there's so much that me
JClay:and you could talk about. But go well, go ahead, Jay. What you were saying? Well well, I I was gonna say something. Well, you you can go to if you wanna go to because I I was gonna continue the the conversation.
JClay:Appreciate you
Troy Washington:with us. I'm gonna mute and then I'm a drop after I hear what
JClay:you said. Okay. I I I was gonna say to that point too, like, I find it fascinating that even even those that that we would consider maybe bad in a in a certain way, they do get what they manifested. They they do increase, like, more of that bad stuff. Now it's not sustainable because, like, the conflict leads to death.
JClay:As soon as some it's gonna lead to someone dying, and then that conflict will be dead, and they can't continue on. But like like you said, aligned with spiritual principles where love and sharing like, love can be equally understood and shared by all. And so that's why it's able to perpetuate forever past even life, so to speak, but there's there's no nothing past life. But go ahead, Troy.
Troy Washington:One thing, and then I'm a I promise I'm a jump out. I have people in my family that have sold drugs. So I grew up in, I grew up a little different, Betty. I grew up in the hood. Everybody my family sold stuff and all
JClay:this different stuff. So I
Troy Washington:was around a whole bunch of stuff. Right? My mentality or the way that I thought about it was my my family wanted to go to jail. The reason why I say that and, again, I that's the reason why I never felt sorry or bad because when I think about the vision that they have to have in their head for a drug dealer, right, anything that I've ever seen, they all ended up in jail. Everything that they ever seen, they all ended up in jail.
Troy Washington:And so you can assume that well, you know what? I'm a be the different person, but they don't even know what that looks like. So I think that, you know, in their in their situation, their selfish act in a sense got them exactly where they wanted to be. That makes sense?
Betty Guadagno:Yep.
Troy Washington:Alright. But that's what that's what I got.
Betty Guadagno:Alright. Thanks.
JClay:So, appreciate you. So okay, Betty. So now let let's get to the let's get to the the meat. We kinda we tiptoe around the, you know, the the steps that you need to take. But let's get to that formula.
JClay:Let's say right now, benefiting, I wanna make this the new car. I desire a new car. This is real. This is not just for the show. What would you say my step like, is the mistake to even tell others, like, hey.
JClay:I'm I'm I'm into a new car. You know, like, what what would you say are the practical steps or at least the first few?
Betty Guadagno:Okay. So, I think and this is my belief system, and other people have different belief systems. But this is what I do. Right? I want lots of people to know my manifestation.
Betty Guadagno:I go on my social media. I'm like, I'm a Hay House author. I want other people to see me as that so that their energy can catapult me into that. Some people like to keep things real close to their chest. They don't talk about what it is that they're working on or wanna manifest.
Betty Guadagno:And and if that works for them, that's totally cool. For me, I have this belief system that there's power in numbers. I read this book called The Power of 8, and it was like people meditating, and they were moving stuff across the country. It was, you know, crazy. I believe in the power of numbers, the power of community, the the power of people.
Betty Guadagno:So what I would do, I would I would let my friends know, like, hey. I see myself in this fancy new red car. I can't wait to have it. I'm gonna go test drive it so that I can feel and living in the feeling that I already have it. We kind of focus on that a little bit.
Betty Guadagno:I have a couple of spiritual fitness things that I do for manifesting, so I'm gonna share those. First of all, the most important time to visualize is first thing in the morning and right before you go to sleep at night. Why? Because that's when you're in a theta state of mind. The theta state of mind is the creation state of mind.
Betty Guadagno:Think about this. When you go to sleep, you close your eyes, and you magically create an entire universe. A whole dreamscape is created with your eyes closed while you're in the theta state. What makes you think that you can't harness on that energy in your waking dream with your eyes open? You absolutely can.
Betty Guadagno:But you're only in that state of mind right before sleep and right when you wake up. So it for me, it becomes this really fun game. I open my eyes and I go, oh, today is gonna look like this morning, I woke up and I said, today, I'm getting a new coaching client. By 11 AM, I had a new coaching client and payment in my account. Okay?
Betty Guadagno:Like, that's how cool it is. And, okay, it doesn't happen every day. Right? But every day, for the first 5 minutes of the day, I'm living in that feeling, and that's really what it's about. It's about the feeling.
Betty Guadagno:Sometimes I can't even imagine what it would feel like to connect with another person, so I just imagine the email coming through because that I have a lot of practice with. Like, oh, yeah. I've seen that email come through lots of times. So that's one of them, and that's where you set intention. And it doesn't have to just be for physical lives.
Betty Guadagno:Like, today, I I'm going to be peaceful. I'm going to be serene. I'm gonna have joy, and and feeling those feelings and holding them there for at least a minute.
JClay:So you did just to step in real quick. Would you say because I I don't know how important ordering is or if it isn't. But if it is, would you say the first thing is to share with others, you know, what you what what your desire is, or would you be visualizing yourself with it?
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. I think that doesn't matter. Whatever feels right for you. You know? Like, if you feel like you want others to help you with your manifestation, you've already visualized it because it's a manifestation that you have on your heart.
Betty Guadagno:So, I would say, yeah, whatever whatever feels right for you. And that so another thing is, like, walking into the future version of you. Joe Dispenza has this great, you know, philosophy on the fact that you can walk into this new version of you. I leave my apartment, and I walk past a bookstore, and I visualize my book in the window. Or, you know, if I'm looking to manifest a partner into my life, I imagine holding my partner's hand and the conversations that we'll have as we're walking down the street bitching about the weather.
Betty Guadagno:Oh, god. I hate the rain. You too? Yeah. We hate the rain, or what anything like that.
Betty Guadagno:That's a really great way, again, to get you in the feeling that you already have it. The universe is an echo chamber. If you feel right or like as Christine said before, if you act as if if you walk around with that feeling, then it can start to draw that experience into your reality.
JClay:And and so, let me ask this. Don x, so what are doable steps that that we can take to heal that that trauma slash limiting belief or release those blockages? And I know, like, in a sense, that's kind of manifesting, but also a key to manifesting is removing those blocks. So it's like, how do you manifest the manifesting, which is kinda how I take what what Don is asking. What would you say to that?
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. So for me, like, getting a coach or maybe doing some sort of inner work, that was really helpful for me in this process. The way that I assist people in doing that is I bring forth their shadow qualities, and we start to design them. So one of my favorite things to do when I get to teach law of attraction workshops is that we design your inner saboteur because there is a part of you who is like, no. We're gonna f stuff up.
Betty Guadagno:I don't want this to happen. We're not worthy of this. We're not gonna let this happen. So for me, my inner saboteur, she looks like the chick from the ring. She's got, like, gray skin, like, greasy, black hair in front of her face, like, long fingernails.
Betty Guadagno:She's all discombobulated. And she comes in when my manifestations are about to come to fruition, and she just, yeah, she runs amok all over. So that's part of my spiritual practice in the morning too as I design my day. I also, you know, cover her in pink light. I I make her less scary looking so that she can be part of the journey.
Betty Guadagno:Part of my coaching too is like talking to those pieces of you to know that they're not actually you. Or you can do the same thing with like those limiting love beliefs as well. I think that there's a lot of power in having another person to heal with because sometimes we can't see ourselves. So if I'm just doing all this internal, you know, inner work by myself, I might not be seeing what's actually blocking me. I need another person to act as a mirror to me.
JClay:I love that. So let go. That's probably choice and let go. Frederick says, shout out to Frederick. I've heard by the keychain.
JClay:And so, okay, so we have share with share with others. You talked about writing it down earlier in the show. You talked about visualizing, seeing yourself in it. What what else? I know we talked about letting go, but at what point is that is that the next step or
Betty Guadagno:something in between? Yeah. Letting go has to be part of the whole process. Like, this is what I desire, but whatever. But secretly, yes, I really want this.
Betty Guadagno:Another thing is affirmations. And, again, like affirmations, if you have underlying wounds and blocks, affirmations might not work because every chakra is assigned an affirmation. You don't know what a chakra is. It's the energy centers inside of your body. We have 7 of them, and they are all assigned to different core beliefs.
Betty Guadagno:So the I am affirmation that you always hear spiritual coaches talking about, that's associated with your root chakra, and your root chakra is what holds all of your childhood. So if you had a traumatizing childhood, that doesn't necessarily mean that, like, you were abused. It could be like a teacher didn't call on you in class, and it created some sort of core belief around that. So if you keep affirming I am, but your root chakra is blocked, the I am affirmations might not come to fruition. So I'm just gonna go up the body real quick and tell you the other affirmations.
Betty Guadagno:So if you're a more spiritually minded person or you're really on your spiritual awakening journey, your upper chakra affirmations are gonna be the ones that you should utilize the most because they're gonna be the the ones that you can call in the quickest. So your crown chakra located right above your head, that affirmation is I know because we do know. Like, we are connected to all that is. This is the affirmation. I know I have a new car.
Betty Guadagno:The 3rd eye affirmation is I see. This is all about spiritual sight. The throat chakra is I speak. You can start to speak these things into your existence. And by the way, your hands are connected to your throat chakra.
Betty Guadagno:So when you write things down with your physical hand, you are exercising your throat chakra. Okay? So you can call all of that into manifestation that way as well. Your heart is I love. I love my new car.
Betty Guadagno:I love my new apartment. Your solar plexus, which is your tummy, which is all about self will, that that affirmation is I have or I do. And your sacral chakra is located in your reproductive system. This one is I feel. And remember, your your reproductive system is the most creative part of your body.
Betty Guadagno:It can literally create human life, and a lot of us have blocks in that area as well. It's also where we exercise creativity. So if you're a really creative person, using an I feel affirmation will be the way to go. And like I shared before, the root chakra is the I am affirmation.
JClay:I love that. And so, everyone's watching. If you have something that you that you're manifesting right now, that you wanna manifest, feel free to share in the comments one either I am, I I speak, I see, I love, I live, was I live 1, I feel. Okay. You
Betty Guadagno:know that.
JClay:But yeah. But, I mean, yeah, it it can't hurt. And I'm I'm I'm actually looking forward to doing all of that as well because I love my new car. I see myself in my new car. I can it's it's beautiful.
JClay:I feel I feel myself in it and, yeah, it's it's it's great. So okay. So so with that, because I know we're getting long time. I know you're you're a transformational coach, but this also kinda ties into manifesting as well. Do you wanna talk about your coaching practice and how people can become a client of yours?
Betty Guadagno:Shameless plug time. Let's do it. Yes. And, you know, transformation and utilizing the law of attraction isn't just about getting things. Right?
Betty Guadagno:Like, me Jay wants a new car. I want a a a published book. But I mean, we desire. I mean, we have. We feel.
Betty Guadagno:We have. But it can also be used to heal trauma, and that's how I healed all of my trauma. Like, little bit about me, I used to be a homeless meth head prostitute strung out on heroin. That was five and a half years ago. I've utilized the law of attraction and the tools from my spiritual awakening to heal myself, you know, with the help of the universe and all of my spiritual friends, JP, one of them.
Betty Guadagno:And I've been able to utilize the core understanding of the law of attraction in order to heal and to actually enjoy my life. I mean, I love my life today, and I affirm that. I love my life, and so the universe hears me and says she loves her life. So if you're somebody who's interested in transforming an area of your life, learning more about the law of attraction, or, you know, just need a spiritual friend to act as a sounding board, like, those are all things that I offer. I have a Calendly.
Betty Guadagno:It's under Buddha Betty. I'm on all social media as Buddha Betty. I'm not really a Buddha. It's just a play on words. And I would love to connect.
Betty Guadagno:I also offer a sliding scale. So if you're somebody who is in need of services, but you feel like you can't afford them, please reach out to me. Let's see if we can work something out. If not, if you're not looking for a private coach, I also post a bunch of free content on my social media, my YouTube, with all of these cool tips. And I sort of hate the word manifesting, and I I don't like talking about the law of attraction in that way because it's such a buzzword, but it's real, guys.
Betty Guadagno:Like, it's for real real.
JClay:And it that that put it actually, I don't know if I put that on right. It's a dating Buddha Betty. No. No. No.
Betty Guadagno:That's good. That's perfect. Okay. That's fine to me.
JClay:Okay. Cool. Cool. Cool. So yeah.
JClay:No. That's that's awesome. I'm actually excited about manifesting now even more than I already was. Frederick said, I think you are a Buddha. So that's perfect.
JClay:And so you already manifested just by your name. Like, I I I think that's important too, what we call ourselves, how we introduce ourselves to people. Because a lot of times people try to define people by what they do, but yeah. And how how do you introduce yourself, to people? Like, would you say that you're an author?
Betty Guadagno:I do say that I'm an author. I do affirm it. Yeah. I affirm that I'm an author. I'm a writer.
Betty Guadagno:I'm a speaker. You know, like, I do say those things in affirmation. And sometimes when I do it, I feel that little cringe. I'm like, girl, you're lying. You know, like, that little voice inside my head is like, not yet.
Betty Guadagno:But the only way to make those things be a true reality is to start to affirm them into the universe so that I can have more situations come my way that can help me get there.
JClay:What's funny about that is so I I started off as a producer before I wrapped, and I would always just say, now I'm a producer that raps. Like, I wouldn't I wouldn't claim rapper even though other people would say, nah. You you you can rap. It's funny how it didn't mean anything to me until I accepted that I can rap. And it was it was years in between before people told me I could and before I accepted it for myself.
JClay:And so that's important to me because, like, we can block ourselves from so many things just because we refuse to step into that, you know, that that what you talked about. So that's interesting.
Betty Guadagno:Yeah. And, you know, even something like claiming I'm an aspiring author. No. Because the universe will just keep hearing, like, she's aspiring, she's aspiring, and not it's not into fruition yet. You know?
Betty Guadagno:So there's a lot of stuff with language when it comes to manifesting, and I love that, you know, your truth was already claimed for you before you even accepted it. Again, what's meant for you will always find its way to you. There's no way for you to mess this up. There's no way.
JClay:I love that. And that's the perfect place to stop. Do do you wanna share any any last minute things before we sign off?
Betty Guadagno:No. Thanks for this space, and it was so great chatting with Troy too. And, yeah, I'm really grateful that you guys have the space to remind us all of our perfection.
JClay:Yeah. We we we'll get you back on here too. And, for anybody who's watching, appreciate you. Like, comment, subscribe. Shout out to Frederick.
JClay:He said you definitely got some skills, Jay. I used to rap back in the day. Hey. We might we might need to do something there. Hey.
JClay:But, yeah, just just remember to, thank well, first of all, thank y'all everybody for rocking with us today. And remember, you are a perfect creation made by a perfect creator, so you might as well accept your perfection and enter perfect mode. Yeah. And I don't know how to oh, man. I don't know how to add the the outro.
