Day 3 Christmas podcast with Candice Matthew, The Power of Manifestation

Hello and welcome back to the Design Boss Dialogue Christmas Advent Calendar Podcast, Day 3.
I’m your host, Lisa-Marie Elkhadraoui, interior design business coach, mentor, and your December guide through strategy, soul, and the kind of wisdom that prepares you for a powerful 2026.

Thank you for joining me for another day inside our festive advent series, 31 days, 31 doors, and 31 conversations that help you grow your business, strengthen your identity, and step into your next era with clarity.

Today’s door is a truly beautiful one. Behind Door 3, we are diving into a topic I know so many women need right now, the power of manifestation, not the buzzword version, but the grounded, honest, transformative version that bridges mindset, aligned action, identity, and spiritual guidance.

And to help us explore this, I’m joined by the wonderful Candice Matthew, business mentor, spiritual strategist, intuitive coach, and former dance teacher turned manifestation expert.

Candice’s story is powerful, deeply relatable, and for so many of you, it will be the reminder you didn’t know you needed. In today’s conversation, we explore the theme:

“The Power of Manifestation:
Find the courage to keep glowing and going… your glow-up is real.”

Candice opens up about the moment stress stopped being “normal” and started impacting her health, her mindset, and her way of living, and how that realisation became the catalyst for a complete identity shift.

This episode is for the woman who has been carrying stress silently.
For the woman who is tired but still trying.
For the woman who wants clarity, softness, alignment, and direction again.
And for the woman who knows she’s ready for more, even if she’s scared to say it out loud.

Inside this conversation, Candice and I explore:

• How to recognise stress before it derails your wellbeing
• The truth behind manifestation — beyond vision boards and quotes
• Why self-honesty is the gateway to overcoming fear
• The power of journaling and intention-setting
• Why your desires are valid, unique, and deeply worthy
• How difficult seasons can lead to your biggest glow-up
• And the magic that happens when mindset, aligned action, and spiritual guidance come together

This is an episode that encourages you to slow down, tune in, and remember who you are becoming.

So grab your coffee, your journal, or a cosy blanket…
Take a deep breath…
And let yourself soften into this conversation.
You’re going to walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to your next chapter.
