Featuring Kristi Crocker – Life Coach
On this episode of Wild Serenity, I chatted with my cousin, friend, and peer Kristi Crocker about all things Law of Attraction and manifesting abundance. Our conversation was so powerful that I had to document a snippet of what we talked about! The rest of this post is written by her, but if you want the full scoop and to hear more stories and the nitty gritty, tune in to the podcast!
Tell us your story about manifesting abundance, Kristi!
You know that moment when everything seems to be falling apart, and you’re like, “This has to work, or we’re done”? Yeah, that was us.
When we first started our business, we were drowning in fear and scarcity. We had to make it work—no ifs, ands, or buts about it. But here’s the thing: when you’re living in fear and lack, all you attract is more fear and lack. It’s a vicious cycle.
So, what did we do? We had to break through. We had to blow the roof off our limiting beliefs, get out of our own way, and shift into a mindset that would actually allow us to thrive instead of just survive.
The Election That Changed Everything
Justin—my husband—was working as an Assistant Commonwealth Attorney, but his boss, the elected Commonwealth Attorney, was finishing her term and not running for re-election. That meant Justin had a choice: run for the position or risk losing his job if someone else won.
We drained our savings, maxed out our credit cards, and put everything we had into his campaign. Spoiler alert: he lost. And so did his job. Everyone in his office was out. Oh, and did I mention we’d just bought a farm? Yeah. Panic was real.
But here’s where things get wild. Right when we were at our lowest, an attorney in the next county, who was running for office, told Justin if he won, he’d hire him and hand over his private practice. Guess what? He won! And just like that, we had health benefits, an office space (thanks to my former bank job), clients, and even computers. It was like a miracle—but I know it wasn’t just luck.
It was mindset, faith, and sheer determination.
Kids Don’t Remember the Storms—They Remember How You Handled Them
One of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned through all of this? Your kids won’t remember all the hard times—they’ll remember how you handled them. Justin losing that election was tough. Our kids saw him work so hard and still come up short. It was public, it was humiliating. But he never let it break him.
He held his head high, showed them what resilience looks like, and kept moving forward. And now? Our kids won’t remember the struggle—they’ll remember the strength.

The Stress That Took Me Down—and How I Got Back Up
After all the stress of losing the election, starting a business from scratch, and trying to hold it together, my body gave out. I was sick. Like, kidneys and liver shutting down, autoimmune flare-ups, and all the fun stuff that comes with stress.
Doctor after doctor had no answers until one finally told me, “You need to chill.” I thought, “Wait, I just paid you $400 for that advice?” But he was right. The stress was killing me.
So, I went on a healing journey. I hired a health coach, got into meditation, and dove headfirst into personal development books, especially Dr. Joe Dispenza’s Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself (if you haven’t read it, you need to). Meditation helped me rewire my brain, shift out of survival mode, and start intentionally manifesting what I wanted instead of living on autopilot.
Manifesting Abundance (And How I Made $1,500 in One Week)
Okay, let’s talk about manifesting for a second. I used to think it was a little “woo-woo” too, but hear me out. One day, I decided I wanted to bring in an extra $1,500 by the end of the week. I was laser-focused, meditated on it, and kept visualizing that money coming in.
Not even an hour after my meditation, a woman came into our office and said, “I hated your decorating ideas, but I need this job done. I’ll pay you $1,500.” Boom. Exactly what I had visualized. It was the Universe handing me what I asked for, and that’s when I knew I was onto something.
Money is Just Energy
I used to believe that money was hard to come by, that it was only for the “elite,” and that manifesting abundance was . . silly. But I’ve since learned that money is just energy. It flows in and out—just like breathing. The more you cling to the belief that it’s scarce, the more it stays away from you.
Once I shifted that mindset, things started to flow. Money finds me everywhere now. Literally—I found $900 on the ground recently! When you open yourself up to abundance, it starts showing up in ways you couldn’t even imagine.
How the Law of Attraction REALLY Works
People ask me all the time about the Law of Attraction. They confuse it with karma or think it’s about being “deserving.” But here’s the deal: it’s all about energy.
When you’re having a terrible day—stubbing your toe, hitting every red light, and feeling frustrated—you’re vibrating at a low frequency. Guess what? You’re attracting more of that low-vibe stuff. But when you’re feeling good, confident, and aligned? You attract more good stuff. It’s like a magnet.
The Law of Attraction isn’t woo-woo—it’s science. We’re all energy, and we attract what we emit. It’s that simple. And once you get that, once you shift from fear to faith, from lack to abundance, everything changes.
Final Thoughts: Shifting from Survival to Thriving, and Manifesting Abundance
Looking back, every tough moment, every fear, every “how are we going to get through this” moment, was leading us to a mindset shift. We went from just trying to survive to learning how to truly thrive. It wasn’t easy, but it was so worth it.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re just spinning your wheels, trust me—you have the power to change your reality. It all starts with shifting your energy, your mindset, and what you believe is possible.
Remember, your kids may not remember the storm—but they’ll remember how you handled it.
