First and foremost our hearts go out to everyone in LA right now. The beginning of this episode is a message of love and expansion to anyone experiencing loss or destabilization in the midst of this crisis. 

On today’s episode, we are diving into a brand new teaching around tests! There is no doubt about it–we are in a season of major tests. Some of us may be getting hit with tests from all angles. But remember: Tests are an invitation for growth. And though they can be tough to face, they only exist to help lead us to healing and into our highest selves. In this episode, Jessica and Lacy explore the pivotal role of tests in the manifestation process. From our new teachings on the most common types of tests-like scarcity and ego tests-to fresh insights on how to navigate them, Lacy and Jessica break down how to identify these challenging moments and respond from a place of true authenticity. By reframing tests as opportunities for growth, you'll learn to overcome limiting beliefs, build resilience, and unlock greater abundance. Stay with us. We’re in this together.
