Finding Your Woo: How Affirmations, Human Design & Manifesting Can Transform Your Life and Business

Hi friend! Welcome back to the Passports, Profits and Pixie Dust. I’m Lindsay Dollinger—high school Spanish teacher, dog mom, world traveler, direct seller, business coach, and your new biz bestie. Whatever role you need me to play today—encourager, mentor, strategist, cheerleader—I’m here for you.

And before we go further, let me say this clearly:
My inbox is always open to you.
I genuinely love guiding women, answering questions, coaching through challenges, and helping you build a business you’re obsessed with. This podcast and blog exist because pouring into others is one of my greatest joys.

Today, we’re talking about something that might feel a little “woo”—but I promise it can deeply shift your business, confidence, and mindset if you let it.

We’re diving into:
✨ Human design
✨ Affirmations
✨ Manifestation
✨ And how to start embracing the spiritual side of growth (even if you’re skeptical!)

So grab a drink, get cozy, and let’s chat like girlfriends.

Listen to the podcast here:


My Journey Into the “Woo” (It Was NOT Natural at First)

If you had told me years ago that I’d be writing a blog about manifesting and affirmations, I probably would’ve laughed.

I’m cut-and-dry. Logical. A need-the-receipts kind of girl.

But in January 2015, everything changed.

My mom passed away, and the weeks leading to that moment—and the moment itself—were full of spiritual signs and things I couldn’t explain. Things she shouldn’t have known… but did. Things she saw… that brought comfort. Things that showed me there’s more to this world than what we see.

That experience cracked me open.

After that, I started reading personal development books—not because I wanted to, but because my first network marketing company offered prizes and challenges. (And your girl loves a challenge.)

But one book in particular changed everything:

📚 The Energy Bus

It taught me that I control my energy. And if I wanted to get out of the depression, burnout, and lost feeling I was drowning in… I needed to change my thoughts.

From that moment on, it was a slow, steady, surprising journey into:

✨ mindset
✨ energy
✨ manifestation
✨ gratitude
✨ and eventually… human design

Which brings us to one of the coolest discoveries I’ve made:


I Found Out I’m a Projector—And Everything Made Sense

Human design is based on your birth date, time, and location, and it reveals energetic patterns and strengths.

I’m a 1/3 Projector, which means:

  • I guide
  • I observe
  • I see strategies clearly
  • I coach naturally
  • I’m meant to lead through insight, not hustle

When my friend Jenna read my chart, she laughed and said:

“You’re basically Baby Yoda. You see things other people don’t yet.”

And honestly? That resonated immediately.

I’ve always felt things before they happened. I’ve always been someone people come to for advice. I’ve always had that bird’s-eye view of situations.

For years, I thought that was random.

Human design showed me it’s who I am.

And I share this because maybe YOU have a part of yourself you’ve brushed off, downplayed, or convinced yourself isn’t “real.”

But it is.

And affirmations can help strengthen those parts.


Affirmations: The First Step Before Manifesting

If manifesting feels overwhelming, start here.

Affirmations are simple “I am…” statements that anchor you in who you truly are becoming. But they should still feel rooted in some truth—even if it’s a tiny seed of truth.

Examples:

✨ I am confident.
✨ I am a powerful leader.
✨ I am worthy of success.
✨ I am safe.
✨ I am guided.
✨ I am becoming the next level version of myself.

If you’ve been struggling in your business or life, these reminders matter.

Start with 2–3 a day, not 20.

Write them.
Say them.
Think them.
Live them.

This is the foundation.


Manifesting: Turning Your Desires Into “Already Done” Statements

Manifesting is different.

It’s about claiming the outcome as if it has already happened.

Examples:

✨ I am a 200K leader.
✨ I travel the world every year.
✨ I attract aligned teammates who become lifelong friends.
✨ I earn income with ease.

You’re speaking your future into the present.

Rachel Hollis actually created a journal that works this way—you write your 10 goals daily as if you’ve already achieved them.

Why?
Because your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagination and reality.

You become the version of yourself who HAS those things.


But You Can’t Just Say It—You Have to Become It

This is where the real magic happens.

If your affirmation is:

✨ “I am confident.”

Then your ACTION might be:

✔️ practicing mirror work
✔️ going live for 2 minutes a day
✔️ reading books on confidence
✔️ joining a coaching program
✔️ saying yes to opportunities

If your manifestation is:

✨ “I am a 200K leader.”

Then your ACTION might be:

✔️ inviting people daily
✔️ coaching your team consistently
✔️ showing up with energy
✔️ working through limiting beliefs

Affirmations open the door.
Manifesting declares the outcome.
Action walks you through it.


Where to Start (Simple, Non-Overwhelming Steps)

Here’s what I recommend:

Step 1: Choose 2–3 affirmations

Ones that feel true and stretch you.

Step 2: Say or write them daily

Morning or night—your choice.

Step 3: Choose 1 manifestation to focus on for 90 days

Rachel Hollis style.

Step 4: Align your actions with that manifestation

A tiny daily step is enough.

Step 5: Track evidence of progress

Signs, synchronicities, “coincidences”—write them down.
They will blow your mind.
