Can you really attract the perfect life simply by thinking positive thoughts? Join me, Annie McCubbin, as I kick off the inaugural episode of the "Why Smart Women" podcast with a deep dive into the controversial world of manifestation. I'm here to question and challenge the promises made by gurus like Gabrielle Bernstein who claim that you can manifest your dreams into reality. Through personal stories, humour, and insights from my books 'Why Smart Women Make Bad Decisions' and 'Why Smart Women Buy The Lies,' we'll uncover how these manifesting practices can often lead to disillusionment and poor decision-making.

In this episode, we explore the stark contrast between the immense financial success of manifestation gurus like Deepak Chopra and Oprah Winfrey, and the everyday struggles faced by women who buy into their promises. I'll expose the dark side of relying on raising vibrational levels and how it can lead to confirmation bias, ignoring harsh global realities like poverty. If you're ready to reject magical thinking and embrace critical thinking and personal agency, this episode is for you. Let’s empower ourselves to make smarter, more informed decisions free from the influence of so-called gurus.
