Cookbook. Dream Home. Career & Relationship Uplevel. Alix Traeger returns to expanded to tell us how she manifested all of it—without burning out. She opens up about what’s unfolded since her first appearance on the pod—where her honest coming out story sparked identity breakthroughs for countless listeners. This time, she unpacks how doing the TBM work helped her move through into a chapter of uplevels, radical authenticity, and major manifestations. Through aligned action, inner healing, and manifestation tools, Alix shares how she navigated the highs and lows of life as a creator—ultimately manifesting her dream home, her debut cookbook Scratch That, and deeper clarity on her purpose. Whether you're pursuing a creative dream, feeling stuck in a transition, or learning to trust your timing, Alix's story is a powerful reminder that true success comes from following what lights you up—even when it’s scary.  She talks about the sometimes uncomfortable process of upleveling, as everything you desire comes through, often by facing those fears of being able to hold it all. Learn how Alix is navigating it all–and get expanded that you can do the same!  Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast [https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=EP352]   Resources:  Join the Pathway Membership [https://tobemagnetic.com/the-pathway-membership?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=audio&utm_campaign=EP352] Reprogram your limiting beliefs and step into your most magnetic self!  The Pathway Membership gives you unlimited access to all of our manifestation workshops—including How to Manifest, Unblocking Your Inner Child, Shadow, Love, Money, Rock Bottoms, Ruts, and Energetic Updates —plus 70+ self-hypnosis tracks designed to unlock your full potential.

The Expanded Podcast, from To Be Magnetic™ (TBM), is the leading manifestation podcast rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and energetics. Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way. At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity. Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to: – Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth – Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work – Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth – Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live. Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
