How I Manifested An Appearance On My Favourite Podcast
Colour therapy helped me find my voice.

I came across a new podcast in mid-2023. Just six weeks later I was on a Zoom with the host, recording an episode about manifesting with colour.
This is the story of how it happened and the role that colour played.
A wild idea…
You might not’ve noticed, but I LOVE manifesting! I will listen to, watch or read ANYTHING that has that word in the title.
The Badass Babe Manifest podcast came into my life after I Googled Kelly Pender because I loved her yoga sessions on the Asana Rebel app and wanted to know more about her.
When I discovered she is now a manifesting coach I was instantly a raving fan.
This was around the same time that I had the download to start Chromagik and share how colour can be a powerful tool for manifestation.
Wouldn’t it be marvellous, I thought, if I could be a guest on BBM and chat to Kels about colour?
There was just one problem: I didn’t know how to speak.
Ok, let me rephrase that. Obviously I can speak, I’m not mute. I know how to speak. What I mean is, I didn’t have the confidence to use my voice and express myself.
I thought back to my childhood and went over all the times at school when I knew the answer to the question but was too afraid to put my hand up because I didn’t want to be called a ‘swot’.
When I stayed quiet instead of saying how I really felt for fear of upsetting people.
When I never told anyone about the abuse I was suffering.
Not speaking up has been a repeating pattern in my life and the more I thought about it the more I realised it was actually doing me more harm than good.
My throat chakra was more blocked than the ex who dumped you but now wants to hook up.
Things had to change, especially if I wanted to fulfil my goal of being the world’s leading authority on using colour for manifestation, right?!

My blue block
This is where things got interesting.
In order to open my throat chakra and express myself fully and confidently I knew I had to work with the colour blue.
Slight issue with that. I had no blue anywhere. I can’t stand it. It makes me uneasy and anxious.
That probably makes me sound weird right? Blue is supposedly the world’s favourite colour but subconsciously I have always avoided it like the plague, favouring warmer hues like pink and orange.
So of course I had to know why.
Deeper investigation led to me to realise that my blue-dodging stemmed from childhood (obvs). I grew up on a small island and I hated it. Being surrounded by water made me feel trapped, I saw it as a barrier to my freedom.
My subconscious had embedded that belief and, in trying to be helpful, made sure I didn’t bring those negative emotions into my energy field.
The downside was by not engaging with the frequency of blue, my throat chakra remained tightly shut.
As soon as I realised this association I was able to release it.
Then I set about bringing more blue energy in. I put a blue painting on my desk, along with some crystals like sodalite and clear quartz to help it flow. I started wearing more blue and visualising blue light around my neck and throat during meditation.
These simple changes had a profound psychological effect.
I began doing more talking stories on Instagram and recording guided meditations for YouTube. And suddenly I was ready.
I sent off an email and was giddy with excitement when the reply came back with an emphatic ‘YES!’.
And the rest, they say is history. Or herstory.
A dream come true!
Final thoughts
Recognising where I was holding myself back and using the magic of colour to work through it was game-changing. I’ve since guested on several other podcasts and done live talks in front of actual real people!
Admittedly, I’m still not a huge fan of blue but knowing when and how to use it strategically has opened up new opportunities that I never would have though possible.
I now wear a blue pendant around my neck to help keep my throat chakra clear.
Colour is a magnificent tool for transforming your energy. And when you change your energy you can change your life.
I have and so can you.
