Are people copying your work… your ideas… your style — and getting away with it?

In this episode I talk about my ideas being copied and the lessons I learned, I talk about what it really means to stop being walked over and start standing up for yourself with confidence. If you’ve ever felt frustrated watching someone duplicate your creativity, borrow your ideas without credit, this conversation is for you.

This episode was inspired by a woman on my Manifest Challenge whose whole world fell apart. Two years ago she had the engagement ring, was trying for a baby and had the house plans. Then her partner ended it all. For two years she was stuck - grieving her past life and thinking that her chance at marriage and a family was over.

She made a decision that she needed to move forward with her life and she joined my Manifest Challenge. However, when the Challenge started and she was trying to visualise her "soulmate" all the painful memories came back and she was frustrated. So I told her to use the 5,4,3,2,1 let it go trick...

Two weeks after the Challenge, she messaged me to tell me that "trick" changed her life. That he family, friends and colleagues noticed a difference. She said it helped her just cut the thought. So, I wondered - what's better for your mental health - the ability to cut out negative thoughts or have more positive ones.

Turns out, the real breakthrough comes from reducing negative thinking instead or more positive thoughts. My example with the story proves this.

In this episode, I talk honestly about jealousy and comparison, and how easily I found myself comparing my current body and life to a past version of me who felt fitter and stronger. I also noticed how often I was measuring myself against other people—and how quickly that pulled me into a low-vibration state.

What I realized is that comparison usually means I’m living in an old story or in someone else’s story, instead of staying present with where I am now. When I do that, my energy scatters, my self-trust drops, and manifestation becomes harder because I’m focused on lack rather than alignment.

In this episode, I share the shift that helped me step out of comparison and back into my own lane. I also offer three practical tips I use when I notice myself slipping into jealousy or self-judgment—tools that help me regulate my energy, reclaim my power, and return to my own timeline.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Comparing myself to my past, fitter self
• Why comparison and jealousy are low-vibration frequencies
• How living in old stories keeps me stuck
• The difference between my story and someone else’s story
• What jealousy is actually trying to show me
• Three tips I use to stop comparing and shift my energy
