Description: First and foremost our hearts go out to everyone in LA right now. The beginning of this episode is a message of love and expansion to anyone experiencing loss or destabilization in the midst of this crisis. On today’s episode, we are diving into a brand new teaching around tests! There is no doubt about it–we are in a season of major tests. Some of us may be getting hit with tests from all angles. But remember: Tests are an invitation for growth. And though they can be tough to face, they only exist to help lead us to healing and into our highest selves. In this episode, Jessica and Lacy explore the pivotal role of tests in the manifestation process. From our new teachings on the most common types of tests-like scarcity and ego tests-to fresh insights on how to navigate them, Lacy and Jessica break down how to identify these challenging moments and respond from a place of true authenticity. By reframing tests as opportunities for growth, you'll learn to overcome limiting beliefs, build resilience, and unlock greater abundance. Stay with us. We’re in this together.**Trigger Warning: Discussion of LA fires from 00:01:22 to 00:18:53Find the Complete Show Notes Here -> https://tobemagnetic.com/expanded-podcast In This Episode We Talk About:How Lacy and Jessica are processing the direct and indirect impacts of LA’s ongoing wildfires (see time stamps above)How tests arise as you step into authenticity and magnetismReframing challenges to foster growth instead of fearThe six main types of tests: scarcity, ego, core wound, boomerang, self-worth, and inner peaceExamples of common tests and how to recognize themWhy tests often reflect deeper limiting beliefs and childhood patternsThe connection between tests and raising self-worth for bigger manifestationsReal-life examples of overcoming scarcity and self-worth testsCultivating emotional resilience in moments of overwhelmThe role of expanders in reprogramming envy into inspirationHow recurring patterns reveal unintegrated lessons and unblocked areasIdentifying the core wound behind triggers to deepen your self-awarenessBuilding trust in the universe through the cycle of tests and manifestationsPractical steps to track, analyze, and learn from your own tests  THEMES / TIME STAMPS:Tests as mirrors to personal growth and tools to align with your authentic self.
