Why Awareness Alone Keeps You Stuck (and What Actually Creates Change)

So many women are deeply self-aware.

They’ve done the therapy. Read the books. Understood the patterns.

And yet — the money, the business, the relationship, or the sense of ease still hasn’t shifted.

In this episode of Manifest with Melanie, I break down why awareness alone doesn’t create change — and why real manifestation happens when your thoughts, beliefs, and actions are aligned with what your body believes is safe and possible.

We explore the difference between mental awareness and somatic awareness, why hustling or forcing action eventually leads to burnout, and how change becomes sustainable when your nervous system is actually included in the process.

This is a grounded, honest conversation about why you might feel “stuck” even though you know better — and how to move forward without pushing, bypassing, or overriding yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

  1. Why awareness and insight alone don’t create lasting change
  2. The difference between mental awareness and somatic (body-based) awareness
  3. How misalignment between thoughts, beliefs, and the nervous system leads to start-stop action
  4. Why hustling can work — and why it eventually becomes exhausting
  5. The question that unlocks real manifestation: What happens in my body when I imagine doing it?

About the Podcast

Manifest with Melanie
Manifest A Life That Sets Your Heart On Fire
Welcome to the podcast- I’m your host Melanie Mishler and my superpower is helping women remember who they truly are- POWERFUL, MAGICAL CREATORS!

I've developed and teach neuro-somatic manifesting. Science-backed tools to help you manifest what you want, get off the hamster wheel of life, step into your fullest potential, and create a life that sets your heart on FIRE!

I'm a manifestation teacher, energy worker, and trauma-informed somatic coach. And each week I bring you short snackable episodes 15 minutes or under. We’ll have intimate conversations about what’s most important in life: personal transformation, finding pleasure, embodying success, finding inner power and confidence, putting yourself first, creating a roadmap on how to live a fulfilling life, getting out of our own way, embodied transformation, and SO much more.

If you’ve dipped your toe into manifestation teachings in the past- my technique is a little different- I always say I'm equal parts of woo-woo neuroscience and strategy. And that's because I REALLY believe we need all three of these in order to create lasting and meaningful transformation In our lives.

Why? Because, you can do all the positive affirmations, vision boards, goal setting, and meditations in the world - But if you have underlying limiting self-beliefs that are playing like broken records in the background, then nothing is going to change.
At the same time you can be taking lots of action, and be really busy in DOING- but if you don't have a clear vision or roadmap to where you're going then you often end up like a hamster on a wheel going nowhere fast. SO FRUSTRATING. I help you break that cycle with practical, proven strategies, raw personal stories and lots of inspiration. I hope you'll join me!
