Is manifestation just magical thinking—or is there actual science behind it? In this episode of The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast, Dr. Allison Sucamele brings clarity to this often misunderstood concept by breaking it down through the lens of applied neuroscience and grounded psychology. Learn how the brain’s filtering system, mirror neurons, neuroplasticity, and the nervous system all play a role in turning vision into reality. This episode is your invitation to move beyond surface-level affirmations and step into intentional identity shaping, emotional alignment, and embodied belief.
