Are you ready to learn how to turn your goals into reality using science-backed mindset strategies?
In this episode of the D8 Training Podcast, host Ann-Marie Antic,
welcomes back the inspiring Cosmina Naum (Cosi) —an intuitive mindset coach and transformation guide—for a powerful discussion on the real science behind manifestation.
Whether you're striving for personal growth, financial success, or building strength in the gym, this episode is packed with the tools, strategies, and deep mindset shifts needed to go from wishing to achieving.
Cosi explains how manifestation works on a biological level. Our brains are wired to seek out what we expect. When you start focusing on abundance instead of lack, and consciously rewire your beliefs, your reality begins to reflect it.
“Manifestation isn’t just about wishing. It’s about training your mind and body to expect a new reality.”
Cosi opens up about her own health journey—unlearning beliefs like “I have bad genetics” or “it only works through sacrifice.”
Her message? Your reality reflects who you believe you are.
To manifest physical health and strength, start with belief—and back it with mental rehearsal:
Science supports this: visualising weight training has been shown to improve strength without physical movement.
Pair your mindset with:
“Your body must feel safe receiving what your mind desires. Healing is part of the manifesting process.”
Cosi also shines a light on common mistakes people make when manifestation isn’t “working.” If you’re feeling stuck, here are the things to avoid:
❌ Don’t force or chase outcomes – Manifestation works best with calm confidence, not desperation
❌ Don’t skip emotional work – What we resist emotionally tends to persist
❌ Don’t ignore your nervous system – If your body is in a stressed state, it won’t accept change easily
❌ Don’t bypass inner work with toxic positivity – Being “high vibe” isn’t about faking happiness; it’s about authenticity and awareness
If you’ve ever felt like manifestation just isn’t for you:
💡 “You’re not broken. You may just be manifesting from a misaligned state.”
Here are some common blocks to be aware of:
The solution? Patience, practice, and nervous system safety.
