🎧Listen To Some Of Their Episodes
Navigating Relationships with a Closed, Repelling Manifestor Aura Eps #33
This podcast episode discusses the challenges manifestors face in relationships, based on responses from a large online group. Manifestors, representing a small percentage of the population, possess a repelling aura that can make others uncomfortable. The episode explores how this, coupled with their inherent need to initiate action rather than respond, leads to relationship difficulties. Many responses highlight the need for space and understanding, while others focus on the struggle with conditioned responses like blaming and the importance of self-awareness and deconditioning. The host emphasizes self-love and setting boundaries as crucial for manifestors to navigate relationships successfully in a world predominantly populated by other energy types.
Your Internal Success Mechanism: Self-Directed Healing #32
The Hypnosis by Design podcast discussed the cultivation of genuine relationships, starting with self-improvement. It outlined how to recognize desirable partner qualities and embody them personally, allowing one to attract desired connections. The episode offered insights on building a strong inner circle from within oneself.
Emotional vs. Unemotional Manifestors: Decoding the Decision-Making Process #31
In a recent podcast episode, host Deni Van, who identifies as an Emotional Manifestor, explored the differences between emotional and unemotional Manifestors. Unemotional Manifestors were described as spontaneous individuals who act in the present moment without needing time to process emotions. On the other hand, Emotional Manifestors, making up 51% of all Manifestors, were characterized by their need for time to navigate their emotional wave before achieving clarity.

PODCAST TIP
How To Do A Narrative Podcast
Decide the main theme: Before you start, have a clear idea of what your podcast season will be about and what each episode's topic is going to cover.
Create an Episode Plan: Detail out a storyboard for each episode outlining all important points, questions and interviewees for that particular episode.
Stick to your Story Structure: Follow a basic story structure such as beginning, middle and end. Regularly revisit this structure to ensure you're not deviating or adding unnecessary details.
Keep the Story Moving Forward: Always make sure your content is progressing towards telling the story and avoid getting side-tracked by irrelevant information or excessive detail.
Show Don't Tell: Rather than directly stating facts or conclusions, guide listeners through context clues so they can arrive at these understandings themselves which makes it more engaging.
Use Natural Language: When writing scripts for episodes, use language that sounds natural when spoken out loud rather than formal written language to better engage listeners with authenticity and relatability.
Rehearse Your Script Out Loud : Test if the script flows naturally by reading it aloud before recording the actual podcast session; edit phrases where needed based on how smoothly they are spoken instead of how well they read on paper.
Get Feedback from Others: Since it could be hard to view your work objectively after being so closely involved in creating it, ask trusted individuals for constructive feedback on clarity and interest level of your podcast.
Rely On Authentic Sound Effects And Background Noise : It helps create immersive storytelling experiences for audiences tuning into podcasts from different settings worldwide.
Remember The Importance Of Good Audio Quality : Listeners may forgive minor mistakes in narration but poor sound quality can turn off even loyal fans quickly; invest time in learning audio editing skills & equipment required for producing high-quality podcasts.
