Ep. 240 The Part of Money Manifestation No One Talks About

If you’ve been trying to stay aligned with money – doing the mindset work, showing up, trusting the process – but the results still haven’t arrived, you’re not alone. This is often the quietest and most uncomfortable part of the journey: when nothing is “wrong,” yet nothing has happened either. The waiting can bring up frustration, self-doubt, and the question no one wants to ask out loud… Am I doing something wrong?

Most conversations about manifesting money focus on belief, vision, and action, but very few talk about how to stay grounded when you’re in the not-yet. When the excitement fades, the pressure creeps in, and it starts to feel emotionally unsafe to hope again. For many heart-centered entrepreneurs, this is the moment where alignment gets confused with forcing, or disappointment gets mistaken for failure.

In this episode, we gently reframe that experience. Alignment isn’t about pretending you’re okay or pushing through discomfort until something lands. It’s about staying connected to yourself, emotionally, energetically, and practically, even when the outcome hasn’t shown up yet. Waiting doesn’t mean you’re behind. And frustration doesn’t mean you’re out of alignment.

In this episode, Aimee explores what it really means to stay aligned with money when the results haven’t arrived yet. You’ll hear a calm reframe around waiting, co-creation, and why frustration doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong – along with simple ways to stay emotionally connected and grounded instead of shutting down. The full transcript begins below.

The Part of Money Manifestation No One Talks About

Let’s talk about the part of money manifestation that no one wants to talk about. The part where it hasn’t happened yet. Being a money magnet isn’t magic, it’s co-creation.

You have a role, the universe has a role, God has a role. When you understand the difference, everything shifts.

If you know your desires are aligned but you’re struggling with the waiting, or if you find yourself shutting down because it just hasn’t happened yet, or maybe you’re disappointed and you question if it’s even possible anymore, you’re in the right place. We’re going to talk today about staying in alignment long enough to see things come to fruition and what doing your part in being a co-creator with God in the universe actually looks like.

So let’s get into it.

Taking Inspired Action Without Forcing Outcomes

Welcome back to Money Simplified. I am super excited to record this today. This was not a planned episode—it was a download of all the information I wanted to share this morning.

If you’re ready to work on this, join my 30 day money magnet challenge. Every day, you’ll get one simple action step to shift your belief, your identity and your energy around money so it can feel safe and consistent. We’re going to talk a lot about that today.

If this is something you want to prioritize this year, make sure to check out that link. It’s in the show notes at https://aimeecerka.com. I haven’t decided how long it’s going to be available or if it’s a one-time thing. So if you’re feeling the pull, check out the link in the show notes.

Now, let’s talk about what it really looks like to be a money magnet.

Why Alignment Isn’t All or Nothing

There are multiple schools of thought on this. One doesn’t believe in manifestation, thinking that they’re controlling all the things by themselves—just working harder to get there.

Probably they think shifting your mindset appears, like “you gotta have the right mindset”, but they believe you have to do it all. The other side thinks we have no control, that nothing we can do affects the outcome.

We’re just living life, subject to a predetermined path. But like most things, neither extreme is correct.

From what I’ve seen and believe, we’re co-creators. Everything you desire, everything on your heart, all those things are coming for your greatest good. Sometimes, it doesn’t look like what we expected.

You’re expecting to hit a $10,000 month in your business, but maybe your spouse gets a $10,000 bonus. You’re frustrated because it didn’t show up how you thought—but you still received it.

Your Role in Co-Creating With Money

We have to do our part—being in energetic and spiritual alignment. We need faith and belief that it’s going to work out for us. It can work out tomorrow.

Everything is coming to you in the correct timing. It’s already decided, with present, past, and future all at the same time.

Our job is to be in alignment and have faith. That’s our co-creator part.

Easier said than done. We have beliefs that come up, like “rich people are bad” or “I won’t be loved if I have this.” Sometimes it feels like it’s not safe to be seen.

All these are underlying beliefs from the human experience. We live in a flawed world.

We have to hold the pressure of the not yet. It hasn’t come in yet, but still stay excited about what’s possible.

What if it showed up tomorrow? What if it showed up today? What if, while listening to this podcast episode, you got a text notification and everything you’ve been waiting for happened?

What if it wasn’t that far off?

Holding Possibility When Results Haven’t Arrived

We have to hold that possibility without shutting down. Maybe it could be a six-figure launch, a payment received, the person you love choosing you.

You have deep desires—the travel you want to do, how you want to parent, things you want your kids to see and do, all the things you’re praying for, believing for—a new home, new vehicle, ease.

All of that is possible.

We must be able to sit in possibility and truly believe it’s possible without shutting down. We can go to polar extremes.

I’ve had launches where I put everything I could at the time. I held the belief a phenomenal launch was coming, and closed the cart—nobody converted. One person bought a VIP upsell; I made like $47 on the launch.

Making Space for Disappointment Without Giving Up

In that moment, the disappointment hit. Here’s the other side: we must hold disappointment without giving up and feeling like it’s never going to work for us.

During that launch, I didn’t do that at all. I took space and stepped back, asking if it was still something I wanted to pursue or if I was moving into a new season.

It was still in alignment, so I came back. That experience opened up a new level of support and expertise for my clients.

It wasn’t the outcome I wanted, but it was the outcome I needed. Success was coming, just not at that time.

But in that moment, I didn’t hold that disappointment without retracting. I retracted, telling myself it would never work for me.

We’ve all had negative self-talk.

When Alignment and Action Need Rebalancing

Balance means holding both—possibility and disappointment. After that launch, I went into new launches more cautious, as a coping mechanism to avoid disappointment.

That’s a human aspect, but it’s still fear.

We need to do both.

There are things we do—shift identity, shift beliefs—because we are co-creators with God and the universe. You can’t hide from your thoughts.

If you’re showing that you believe but a voice in your head says it’s not going to work, you’re not in alignment.

It’s not just what you do, it’s who you are while doing it. That creates money magnetism.

Mind, body, and soul alignment—when your human steps in with fear, you’ll know how to handle it.

An Invitation to Rebuild Money Alignment

If you need more of this, I invite you to join me for the 30 day money magnet challenge! You want money to feel easier, more peaceful, more aligned? Doing all the things and still something tightens up every time you think about your finances?

This challenge is for you.

I believe everything you desire is already on its way to you, but it can only land when you’re an energetic match for it. Your beliefs, identities, and actions must all be aligned with receiving—not hustling, not forcing, not performing.

This challenge will help you be aligned, grounded, and open. Every day for 30 days, you’ll get one simple action step—small enough that your nervous system and human won’t freak out, but powerful enough to make a compound shift in your relationship with money.

We’ll cover identity work, belief layering, nervous system regulation, and getting into action.

This is where we reconnect you with the truth: You’re not behind, not broken, not bad with money—simply out of alignment with what you’re calling in.

Alignment Is a Skill You Can Return To

Alignment is a skill you can remember or rebuild. You’ve had it before; you just lost it.

If you’re ready to strengthen your faith, ground your energy, and open the door wider for all the wealth and magnetism seeking you, join us.

Again, I don’t know how long this opportunity will be available to the public outside the unstoppable experience. So come step into the version of yourself who can hold more.

Comply with the energetics of receiving and remember, abundance responds to alignment, not pressure.
