Manifesting Dreams: Meeting Oprah

Manifesting is more than a trend; it’s a powerful way to turn dreams into reality. At its core, manifesting focuses on what you want, aligns your energy with those goals, and trusts that the universe will guide you. I’ve seen firsthand how belief and intentional action can create incredible results in both my personal life and Mona Moon Naturals.

The day we met Oprah was surreal. And how I got there was magic.

What is Manifesting?

Manifesting is about intentionally creating the life you desire. It involves visualizing your goals, affirming them, and taking aligned action to achieve them. It’s not daydreaming or wishful thinking—it’s focusing your energy, maintaining a positive mindset, and actively working toward your vision.

Here’s how manifesting works:

  • Set a clear intention: Know exactly what you want.

  • Visualize it: Imagine what achieving your goal would feel like.

  • Take purposeful action: Manifestation requires work—doing the right things to move toward your vision.

  • Update: Visit your list of goals and feel free to tweak them. Life isn’t set in stone, so your manifestation board shouldn’t be either. It’s all about the journey and experience.

  • Trust the process: Believe that the universe, or a higher power, will guide you. If something doesn’t happen, that’s okay. The universe has something better planned for you. Just be open to receive it.

My sister Sandra and I were among those chosen to ask Oprah a question about women's health.

Manifesting My Journey with Oprah

One of my biggest goals is to see Mona Moon Naturals featured in Oprah’s magazine and her famous holiday list of favorite things. While I’m not there yet, I believe I’m on my way.

The day I met Oprah was magical. After subscribing to her magazine for years, I received an email from her team when she transitioned to a digital platform. They asked readers to submit questions, so I asked about women’s health and menopause. Before hitting send, I prayed for guidance, and by the next afternoon, I had a meeting scheduled with her team! Manifesting in action. I even shared my Mona Moon Naturals products with Oprah that day—who knows where that will lead.

Manifesting Mona Moon Naturals

Manifesting doesn’t have to be complicated. I start by writing down my goals and reviewing them as I go. This keeps me focused and clear about what I want.

I also say my goals out loud and visualize them. Speaking them makes them real for me. Along with that, I ensure I take action. Manifesting is about more than wishing—it’s about doing. I make to-do lists for my business and check tasks off as I complete them, keeping me on track while moving toward my bigger vision.

Why People Manifest, Turning Dreams into Reality

People manifest for many reasons, whether it’s for personal growth, career success, or simply creating a better life. The process brings a sense of control and purpose to an otherwise unpredictable world. It’s empowering to know you can shape your reality by changing your mindset and working toward your goals.

At Mona Moon Naturals, it’s a part of how I approach both personal and business goals. While I’m still working toward seeing my products in Oprah’s favorite things list, I trust the process and take inspired actions. My dream is on its way.
