In this episode of the LaidOPEN Podcast, Charna Cassell sits down with master manifestor, psychic medium, and intuitive Colette Baron-Reid to unpack why so many people feel stuck despite \u201cdoing all the right things\u201d and what actually creates change. Colette shares her unconventional approach to manifestation through meditative drawing, a practice designed to retrain the brain, regulate the nervous system, and bring the body into alignment with what you\u2019re calling in. Together, they explore the science behind creativity and brain plasticity, why alignment matters more than intention, and how art can act as a bridge between intuition and reality. The conversation also weaves through Colette\u2019s personal spiritual journey, including her path to sobriety, her evolving relationship with a higher power, and the collaborative creation of her latest book. Along the way, Colette offers practical exercises and grounded insights you can use immediately to shift patterns, release emotional blocks, and approach manifestation as a lived practice rather than a fantasy. This episode is for anyone who feels like manifesting hasn\u2019t worked for them and is ready to understand why and how to do it differently.
