In this episode, I explore the transformative power of change and how we can embrace it with intention. I discuss the importance of releasing rigid expectations and staying open to life’s unexpected synchronicities. I invite you to reflect on what you want to change and how to welcome the transformations that will bring you closer to your true path.
Do you want change?
Deep down, there’s something in each of our lives we long to shift.
It could be in your career or business, perhaps in your health or finances, or maybe it’s about enriching your relationships, family connections, or even your approach to fun.
You might want to amplify your spirituality or connect more deeply with it.
No matter the area, there’s always something we’re drawn to enhance, alter, or even demolish, because let’s face it—change is inevitable. We know this.
So, what is it that you want to transform in your life?
As we move into the fourth quarter of the year, if you’re following along with us in real time, it’s natural to start reflecting on what’s unfolded this year and what’s to come.
This final stretch of the year invites us to take stock, revisit our goals, and reimagine our future.
Before setting goals for next year, it’s crucial to sit with what you truly want to change and consider what you’re willing to release or add in order to make that change possible.
Often, we focus solely on what we want without thinking about what we might need to give up or the ripple effects that change might bring.
The universe has a way of holding back our desires until we fully grasp the true nature of what we’re asking for.
There’s wisdom in the saying, “Be careful what you ask for”—because sometimes, as we reach for what we want, our lives may undergo unexpected shifts.
And it’s not necessarily a bad thing; in fact, it’s often absolutely essential.
Sometimes, things need to fall away to create space for what’s to come.
Can you find peace with that possibility?
If you find change challenging, consider reflecting on the smaller nuances and potential outcomes.
While we can’t predict everything—given the infinite possibilities shaped by free will—it’s worth acknowledging that life can get quite interesting as new paths unfold.
That’s just it—life is full of incredible synchronicities, the surprises that unfold without us even knowing.
Just the other day, I watched a reel on social media where a woman shared a picture of herself as a teenager, standing in front of a famous piece of architecture in another country.
As her husband looked at that photo, he noticed he was in the background—years before they ever met.
They wouldn’t connect until seven or ten years later! It’s remarkable, and it reminded me of a similar experience in my own life.
One of my good friends married an incredible soul, a beautiful woman who has since passed.
When I visited them, I felt this uncanny sense of familiarity, like I already knew her.
And then, as it turns out, I found a photo from a party my younger sister and I attended years ago, and there she was!
We had spent the entire evening together without realizing the role she’d one day play in my life.
We had such a great time, and it’s amazing how these synchronicities appear.
Sometimes we cross paths with certain people, and these little signs show us we’re in alignment.
I’ve found that when we take time to truly reflect on the potential for change—on why it matters, what we may need to let go of, and what new things we’ll need to embrace to make it happen—we enter this powerful, magnetic energy.
It’s like stepping into a vortex that says, “I’m serious, this is what I want.” I’ve looked at it from every angle; I may not know every outcome, but I’ve tried to consider things I might not have seen before.
There have been times when I’ve wanted something so badly—focusing all my energy on it—and then when it didn’t happen, I actually felt grateful. In those moments, I realized I wasn’t prepared for the change because I hadn’t considered everything it would demand.
It’s a humbling experience, and I think, thank you for revealing my blind spots and my naivety.
Sometimes, we simply don’t know what we don’t know.
Yet, as a society, we keep pushing for instant results, and it’s easy to get discouraged when things don’t happen immediately.
Social media can make it seem like everyone is achieving instant success, but what we often don’t see are the years of hard work, dedication, and resilience behind those moments.
For me, my journey in spirituality has been a long and evolving one.
Even as a child, I would pray to angels and talk to God—it wasn’t something I was taught but rather something I felt drawn to do.
As an adult, I began showing up for myself in a meaningful way starting around age eight, and each choice I made along that path opened new doors, each leading me in different, sometimes unexpected, directions.
When we do the work we’re meant to do, our decisions start to build on one another, compounding over time.
Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for the choices I said yes to, even for the ones I resisted, and for the times the universe said “no.”
Those hard lessons shaped who I am today.
Reflecting on change, I’ve come to see it from all angles—what to expect, what not to expect, what fears might arise, and the importance of gratitude.
Sometimes, we have deep desires and intentions that go unanswered, and I’ve found a sense of peace in expressing gratitude even for those unanswered prayers.
By moving into gratitude, we acknowledge that the path unfolding is often wiser than the one we imagined.
This approach allows you to elevate your frequency and opens the door to new opportunities.
But it’s more than just saying, “I’m grateful.” It’s about feeling that gratitude in your body, right down to your bones—truly, deeply meaning it.
And how do you know if you mean it? Only you can determine that for yourself.
For me, it often comes in the form of an epiphany, a moment where I think, “Thank goodness, I’m so grateful,” and it’s like this wave of gratitude fills my entire being
In those moments, I can see why things didn’t happen earlier, why I am where I am, where I fell short, and where I excelled.
I think it’s important to weigh the scales—to recognize what went well and where there’s room to grow.
When we reflect on our actions, acknowledging what we did right, we can also ask ourselves if there might be other ways to move forward.
Curiosity and openness to improvement allow us to continue evolving with each step on our journey.
Sometimes, it’s essential to look closely at our shortcomings, whether that’s in our mindset, our inactivity, or even in being overly active.
Yes, there is such a thing as doing too much.
Some of us are constantly in motion, filling every moment with action but not allowing any space for new things to come in—for insights, for moments of clarity, for simply receiving.
When we’re so busy “doing,” we may overlook the synchronicities around us, missing out on the spiritual miracles that are ready to come our way.
When it comes to change, ask yourself: are you willing to be in the driver’s seat but let go of strict expectations?
Often, we get caught up in wanting things to unfold in a particular way.
We place all our focus on a specific outcome, thinking, “This is the only way I want it.”
But that’s where we risk missing the magic.
By allowing our intentions to remain open-ended, we invite the universe—God, creation—to bring us something even better than we could have ever imagined.
This is exactly why I love change.
Ten years ago, I couldn’t have imagined my life as it is today—no way.
If someone had told me, “Amy, this is what you’ll be doing, the home you’ll be living in, the lifestyle you’ll have,” it would have been so far outside my frequency and consciousness that I’d have thought, “No way!”
Yet, I stayed open to possibilities beyond anything I could envision and allowed changes to unfold without fixed expectations of how things should be.
Let me be clear, though—manifesting is not something I’m perfect at.
I have my own shortcomings, just as you do.
When things don’t go as I hope, I often realize I’ve placed too many expectations on how I wanted them to look.
My mind, my ego, and my mental body had boxed it in, leaving little room for those miraculous surprises that make life magical.
When I take the opportunity to really examine my own shortcomings and notice where I might be holding onto expectations that prevent the free flow of “this or something greater,” I recognize that I’m the one blocking myself.
I’m the one closing the door on the magic.
And it’s up to me to take responsibility for that.
This mindset applies to everything in life: we are each the ones who make or break our lives.
You have that power.
Yes, life has its hardships and traumas, and we all face decisions that create ripple effects.
But the reality is, that we each hold the ability to shape our path at any given time, even if it takes time for change to take root.
I am responsible for my life, just as you are for yours.
And if you’re a parent, you’re also responsible for teaching your children how to shape their lives until they become adults, at which point they take that responsibility on themselves.
Ultimately, it all comes back to accountability—our ability to change, our choice to be curious, our willingness to simply be and remain open.
Real change begins with awareness and accountability.
So, are you willing to sit with what you want to change, why you want to change, what your shortcomings are, and how you feel about the change?
Are you ready to move into gratitude and reflect on your expectations?
Are you willing to dive deep into this process so you can truly welcome the changes you seek?
Because, at the end of the day, my friend, that decision is entirely up to you.
With love and blessings,
Amy Robeson

Hey, Amy Robeson here. Thank you for joining me on this podcast where we talk about spirituality, the awakening process, mental health, and so much more. Join me weekly to get your weekly dose of spirituality and medicine. I look forward to seeing you on the inside. Hello, everyone, and welcome to today’s episode. I’m so excited you are here. Do you want to change? And I know deep down in your heart, something in your life you would like to change. If it’s the matter of your career or business or Maybe it’s your health or your wallet when it comes to your wealth, or maybe it’s relationships or romance or family or adding more fun, or maybe you want to amplify or connect more deeply with your spirituality. No matter what, there’s always something that we can look at enhancing, changing, or even demolishing, because changing Change is inevitable. We all know this, right? The question is, what do you want to change in your life? We are in the fourth quarter of the year if you’re listening to this when we first release it. And when we enter the fourth quarter, I know people start really thinking about what’s already happened from the beginning of this year to what’s going to happen next year.
And I think it’s really important before you set goals for next year to sit with what you want to truly change what you’re willing to give up and what you’re willing to add on in order to have that change. Oftentimes, we don’t look at what we’re giving up. We just want the change. We don’t think about all of the consequences that can occur with that change itself. And I find that oftentimes the universe won’t gift you that change, won’t gift you that manifestation until you fully understand what it is you’re truly asking for. There is a saying, be careful what you ask for, because oftentimes when we ask for things, our life will blow up. And it’s not because it’s a bad thing. It’s sometimes absolutely necessary. In order to have what you want, sometimes things have to fall away. Can you make peace with that possibility? And I often find if you do have a harder time with change, understand the little nuances and what can possibly happen. Now, we can’t know everything because there’s an infinite number of possibilities and an infinite number of outcomes that can happen. Everything works on free will, and so sometimes things just get very interesting.
I’ll just say that. But I think that that’s what makes life really fun is the synchronicity and the things that can happen without us really knowing. I was watching a reel on social media the other day, and there was a woman who posted a picture of her in front of a famous piece of architecture in a different country. She noticed that she was a teenager, and her husband was looking at that picture of her from when she was a teenager, and he was in the background of the picture. They didn’t meet until, I think, seven or 10 years later. And this is really cool. I’ve actually had this happen to myself as well. One of my good friends married a really beautiful soul, and she’s actually transitioned. But when I went to visit my friend and his lovely wife, I just couldn’t get over this feeling. I’m like, I know you. I just feel like I know you. My younger sister and I went to a party, and this woman that my friend married ended up in one of my pictures from one of the parties we went to, and we hung out all night.
We had so much fun. And it’s just so funny how these synchronicities were. Sometimes we cross paths with certain people, and sometimes we have these little signs of synchronicity because it shows us that we are in alignment. And I find that when we take the time to really sit with the possibility of change and sit with why it would be important to change and how you would have to let go of certain things in order for that change to happen and how you’re going to want to embrace certain things for that change to happen, we get into the energy of this gravitational pull of this is the frequency I want to be in. It gets you in this beautiful vortex of energy that says, I’m very, very serious, and this is what I want. I’m very, very serious, and this is what I want. I’ve looked at it from many different directions. I might not know all of the possibilities, but I have looked at it and I have considered things that maybe I was naive to in the past. And I know for me, sometimes I have gotten myself in trouble where I’m just like, I want this, I want this, I want this, I want this, I want this, I want this.
And then I realized when it doesn’t happen, how grateful I am that it didn’t happen because I was not prepared for that type of change because I didn’t consider all of the things that would require that type of change. And for me, I’m just like, Thank you. Thank you for pointing out some of my blind spots, some of my innocence, some of my naiveness. And I’m saying all these words in a positive way because sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know. And I know that as a society, we can push and push and push and push and push And then we get upset when it’s not happening. And it’s because it’s this instant gratification and this societal norm, that I have to have it now. And there’s all these videos and photos and things like that that circulate around the Internet that make me think that everyone is getting exactly what they want right away. And what we’re not seeing, and I do love people that do these videos, is what they’re not seeing is all the hard work and dedication that they put in for years and years and years and years and years and years.
I know for me, I’ve been working on my spirituality. I feel like when I started when I was a kid, I would pray to angels, and I would talk to God, and I would do these things, but this wasn’t something that I was taught. But as an adult, I started showing up for myself in a major way starting in eight, and that led me down a different path, and led me down a different path, and led me down a different path. Everything just starts to compound and compile because we’re doing the work that we’re meant to do. And if it wasn’t for those decisions, back then. I wouldn’t be where I’m at today. And so I’m really grateful for the decisions I’ve said yes to. I’m really grateful for the things that I’ve drugged my feet on. I’m really grateful for the nos that I’ve received from the universe and the hard lessons that I have learned. If you notice, I’m also talking about change from looking at this idea of what to expect, what not to expect, what you might be fearful of, but also moving into gratitude. Maybe you have wanted something to happen for a really long time, and I have found it by moving into gratitude for unanswered prayers, unanswered your concert intentions.
It allows you to raise your frequency. It allows you to have new opportunities to move into. And it’s not about just saying, I am grateful. I’m grateful for this. It’s feeling it in your body and bones. It’s feeling it and really, really truly mean it. And how do you know if you truly mean it or not, you are the only one who can decide if it’s true for you or not? And I know for me, it’s like I have an epiphany, and that’s when I know I’m like, oh, thank goodness. I’m so grateful. Or there’s this overwhelming gratitude sensation that overtakes my whole body and my whole being. And I’m just like, I’m so grateful for this. And I can really see why this didn’t happen before and why I am where I’m where my shortcomings were and where I did Excel. I think that it’s important to also really weigh the scales of what you did right and what you can improve upon. Because when you sit there and you think about like, Okay, I did this and this, and it feels good that I did it that way, am I curious about, are there other ways to do it as well?
Absolutely. And then looking at the shortcomings, because sometimes it’s our mindset, sometimes it’s our inactivity or too much activity. Yes, there is too much activity. Some people can be doing, doing, doing, doing too much, but not making space, not making space for things to come in, not making space for ahas, not making space for just receiving. And when we don’t make the space and we’re doing, doing, doing, doing, we miss the cues of synchronicity. We miss the spiritual miracles that want to be bestowed upon us. And it’s really beautiful when we do have that opportunity. Also, when it comes to change, are you willing to be in the driver’s seat of change and let go of any expectations? I think oftentimes what gets people in trouble when it comes to change and miracles of these types of intentions and changes that we want to have is that we only want it our way and our way only. And this is where you miss the magic. This is where you put too much emphasis on this is the way I want it versus allowing it to be open-ended, where the universe, God, and creation could come in and gift you with something better than you I’ve ever imagined.
And this is the part where I really love change because I could not imagine my life the way it is now 10 years ago. No way. If someone said, Hey, Amy, this is exactly what you’d be doing. This is the house you’d be living in. This is the type of lifestyle you would have. It would have been so far outside of my frequency and consciousness that I would have been like No way. But with that also being said, I was open to possibilities that I never imagined. I was open to changes that I could never imagine, and I didn’t have certain expectations of how I wanted certain things to be. Now, let me get this really clear, too. I am not at all perfect when it comes to manifesting. I have my own shortcomings, just like you have your own shortcomings. And for me, I know that when something doesn’t go the way that I want it, there is too much expectation on how it wants to be in my mind, in my mental body, and in my ego, where it’s like, these are the types of ways they expect it to be, and there’s no room for those miraculous miracles.
And so when I do have the opportunity to look at my shortcomings and look at where I am holding expectations and I’m not allowing the free flow for this or greater to come in, I’m the one that’s blocking myself. I’m the one that’s blocking the magic. I am the one who has to take responsibility for my shortcomings. And I think this goes back to anything when it comes to our life in general. You are the one that makes or breaks your life. You. And there are things that happen that are awful. There are traumatic events, and there are decisions that you say yes to and you say no to. Everything has a ripple effect, and we can change our life. At any given time, it takes time to have them change. And so know that you are responsible for your life. I’m responsible for my life. And if you have children, you’re responsible for teaching them how to have their best life as well. And then once they become adults, they’re responsible for that. No matter what, we all have to take accountability and responsibility for our ability to change and our inability to change and get curious and be willing to allow ourselves to just be and to be open and to sit with curiosity and so much more.
So are you willing to sit with what you want to change, why you want to change, what your shortcomings are, and what you feel about the change, Also moving into gratitude and looking at expectations? Are you willing to do that so you can have the changes that you want? And that’s totally up to you, my friend. All right, my friends, I hope you enjoyed today’s episode. Please make sure you share this with a friend and subscribe and leave a review or a comment. I can’t wait to see you in the next one. Bye.
