Manifest Your Bliss with Sofia

I am so excited to welcome a very special guest to the podcast this week—my 5-year-old granddaughter, Lilly! 💖

She just graduated from preschool and is heading into kindergarten this fall, so I thought it would be fun to sit down with her and ask some big questions—like what she wants to be when she grows up, what makes her happy, and how she sees the world.

This episode is part of a very special season for me, too—because I’m celebrating 5 years of hosting Manifest Your Bliss! 🎉

And with that milestone comes a fresh new direction…
I’ll be sharing more inspiration and strategies to help you not only manifest the life you love—but also the business that supports it.

So stay tuned… and enjoy this joyful, lighthearted episode with sweet Lilly. It’s a reminder that bliss is always closer than we think.

Fresh from competing in the Pickleball US Open, Sofia shares a raw and real reflection on what it means to truly win. After months of training, preparing, and showing up as her best self, she discovered that many players in the 3.0 bracket were “playing down” from higher rankings just to win. It sparked a bigger question: Is it really a win if you have to bend the truth to get it?

In this thought-provoking episode, Sofia explores the intersection of competition, mindset, integrity, and the law of attraction. She shares her personal experience and asks you to consider: What kind of success are you really attracting when you sacrifice honesty for a trophy? This is about more than sports—it’s about who you are when no one’s watching, and what kind of energy you're putting into the world.

What if one spontaneous decision could change your life forever? In this week’s episode of Manifest Your Bliss, Sofia sits down with special guest Nathan Eichhorn, who shares how he unexpectedly discovered his passion for acting in his mid-twenties. With no prior experience, Nate auditioned on a whim for The Great Gatsby—his favorite story—and landed the leading role of Nick Carraway with The Naples Players community theater.

His story is a powerful reminder that passion doesn’t always show up when—or how—you expect. Sometimes, it finds you when you’re simply brave enough to say yes. Whether you’re in a season of transition or still searching for what lights you up, Nate’s journey will inspire you to stay open, follow your curiosity, and trust the process of discovering your bliss.

🎙️ Tune in for an uplifting conversation about courage, creativity, and what it really means to unlock your true passion.

What does your mindset on the pickleball court have to do with manifesting your dream life? Everything. In this episode, Sofia explores how playing sports—especially pickleball—can teach us powerful lessons about energy, focus, and the law of attraction. Whether you're visualizing the perfect shot or recovering from a tough game, the same principles that help you win on the court can help you win in life. Tune in for a short, inspiring dose of motivation to raise your vibration and play to win—on and off the court! 🏓✨

Passion has a way of evolving as we do, and for this week’s special guest, Lisa Bachota, photography has been her ever-growing source of joy and fulfillment. Starting with wildlife photography and now focusing on birds, Lisa shares how her passion has transformed over time, why capturing nature’s beauty makes her happy, and how following creative interests can bring deep personal satisfaction. Whether you’re a photography lover or just searching for more joy in your daily life, Lisa’s journey is an inspiring reminder that passion is always evolving—if we’re willing to follow it.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation on creativity, happiness, and the power of seeing the world through a different lens. 🎙️✨📷

“Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny." - MK Gandhi

At day 27 of daily gratitude you have now obtained a very positive, abundant mindset. We create our own reality with what we think, what we believe, what we perceive, and even what words we speak. Recognizing this gives you a responsibility to choose how to see the world.

The term 'create your own reality' means the different ways by which you can co-create your life by the energy of your thoughts, beliefs, perspectives, and actions. The theory is based on the fact that when you change the way you see things within you and around you, it helps you to make a new outlook towards life.
