Episode #292: Jelena Dokic is fighting to become the best version of herself

Full disclosure; when we’ve heard about manifestation in the past we’ve thought “hmm, that’s not for me” and questioned the technique as a whole. Until, that is, our guest Sarah Grynberg so beautifully explained what it actually is and how some of us are already doing it without even realising!
