Quotes “Wherever you're allocating your power, your brainpower, and your energy, both consciously and subconsciously, you're working toward it.” (08:41 | Leslie Beck) “Figuring out what you truly want, I think, is the biggest step. And we're not taught that.” (11:01 | Shelby Anderson) “It's impossible to know what you want to do. We should be growing and evolving. That's the same thing with manifestation. At 25, you want to visualize your home or you want a certain car or take a trip to India or whatever it might be. And then at 30, you revamp it to your new manifestation of what you want. You're always growing and evolving.” (11:38 | Leslie Beck) “I think that [if you’re] being your best, healthiest, authentic self, you can be your best self for other people and be there for them, supporting them and [you’ll] attract more of those like-minded people into your life.” (12:39 | Leslie Beck) “What we're here to do is to show that things aren't perfect, but you can still thrive and look good and be happy and attract those same kinds of people, even though your hair's a mess or something, or your foot's asleep.” (15:02 | Shelby Anderson)
