How To Manifest A NEW REALITY For Yourself In 2022 (Achieve Anything You Want!) | Vanessa Hudgens

She says she gained confidence by doing “uncomfortable work,” processing hard experiences instead of mentally storing them away, and arriving at the feeling that she is “enough.” She links this inner clarity to being able to take up space (or not) by choice and be less affected by others not “clicking” with her.

She describes witchcraft for her as mindfulness, connecting to elements, and working with energy through intention and asking. She gives examples like full moon rituals (cleansing, calling on angels/ancestors/spirit guides) and writing intentions on bay leaves and burning them.

She says manifestation works best when you’re clear and intentional, while also accepting that outcomes may arrive differently and later than expected. She uses meeting her partner Cole through a Zoom meditation group as an example of an unexpected form and timing.

After an eight-year relationship, she made a list of what she genuinely needs in a partner (focused on mindset and priorities) and then asked direct questions early (marriage, kids, family relationships, work enjoyment) while also observing approach to life. She argues that avoiding these conversations wastes time on mismatched people.

She says neglecting your “inner child” leads to disconnection, while nurturing it preserves wonder and passion—qualities she feels are important in adulthood and in sustaining enthusiasm in a demanding industry. She recalls learning about this through Larry Moss’s acting workshops.
