The Law of Attracting Nothing

The Law of Attracting Nothing happens when you imagine how you want your life to be, how you want your business to grow, or your career to flourish: but nothing happens.

It’s a powerful law because no matter what you do, things stay the same.

You visualize every day, following all the advice online. You work on your marketing, run some ads, you’re active on social media, but still: nothing. How is that possible?

The reason is simple: The real change hasn’t happened, and it’s inside of you.

It's hard to show up authentically


What truly needs to happen to expand your business, take your career to the next level, or transform your life is when you stop doing only what’s easy for you.

It’s easy to visualize. It’s easy to pay for ads. It’s easy to make nice posts on Instagram. It’s easy to hide behind all that action—hiding behind good advice that’s out there.

But what’s not easy is showing up authentically. And no, I’m not talking about dancing on social media.

You show up authentically when you are fully present in what you are doing. It’s a feeling of worthiness that’s stronger than the fear you’re feeling.

But here’s the catch: it hurts.

The Battle Between Inner Fear and Outer Success

There are painful feelings inside our bodies that we don’t want to face. Deep shame. Fear of being unworthy. Fear of being rejected.

So, we try to overcome these feelings by changing things on the outside. We visualize our dreams coming true so we never have to face this hidden pain again. And what happens? Nothing. Or not as much as we’d like.

I’ve been there, especially when I was trying to make it big as an opera singer. Every audition was a nightmare. The most awful feelings kept rising, limiting my ability to express myself authentically.

So, when psychological advice, hypnotherapy, and even medication didn’t work, I started visualizing my success. I imagined myself singing in the most incredible opera houses in the world. But I was singing only there: in my imagination.

I could easily say, “Oh, I’m just shy.” But I’m definitely not shy.

I love talking to people. I’ve moved alone to many countries without knowing anyone. I’ve learned several languages and made friends all over the world. For me, life is about joy!

So, why did these terrible feelings surface during auditions, preventing me from performing the one thing I wanted most in life?

Well, I’ve always been a seeker. I believe there’s a solution for everything. So I kept looking, both inside and outside of me, and discovered something surprising.

How Money Plays a Role in Our Worth

The deep root of the pain wasn’t hidden childhood trauma or past-life issues. It was about my relationship with money. Or, more specifically: what I thought I needed to accomplish to be worthy of getting paid for my work.

I wasn’t unworthy of love or money in general, I was unworthy of being paid for my talent.

Money, in reality, is neutral. But we unconsciously attach all sorts of meanings to it. I believe the way we relate to money as adults often mirrors how we learned to get what we needed as kids.

In a future episode, I’ll dive deeper into what I believe money truly is and how the meaning we assign to it shapes our behaviors and choices without us even realizing it.

But for today, I want you to reflect: What feelings are you trying to avoid when you’re preparing for your visualization session? There’s so much for you to discover!

Remember, you have everything you need within you to create the life and career you desire. I’m sure you can accomplish what you truly want and need, and it’s never too late.

Keep stepping into your power, and watch the transformation unfold. Because you are The Wonder Over 50!

If you’re ready to explore your relationship with money and shift the beliefs that may be holding you back, I’d love to support you in the Money Story Reset session. This 60-minute session is an opportunity to reflect on the stories you’ve been carrying and begin to make space for new, empowering ways of thinking about success and abundance. It’s a gentle but powerful step toward breaking free from old patterns and creating more alignment in your life and business.
