In this Most life-changing courses and subscriptions series I’m sharing with you the five things that have had a MASSIVE impact on my life. I’m writing about them chronologically, because if you read through it all, you will see how they also connect beautifully together as a whole. I’m not an affiliate for any of these programs, just a seriously happy & satisfied user!

MBA by Kathrin Zenkina has definitely been one of the biggest investments I have made (costing $2.222), but also one that proved to be a truly pivotal point in my entire life.

(Quite possible the reason why I’m still living my life.)

In the previous article in this series, I discussed how the first program, Beyond Flexibility, has positively impacted my body. Now, with the Manifestation Babe Academy…we are talking mind, body, and spirit.

To truly highlight just how transformative this program was, let me take you back a bit into my life and the journey I have been on.

(TW: depression, suicide, anxiety)

Before I enrolled in MBA in early 2021, I had spent over 16 years living with severe depression. I was also suicidal (although I was able to mostly hold back the urges), used to self-harm, suffered from anxiety, and at some point reached such a low where just leaving the house was a struggle because my anxiety got so bad.

I could hardly do the things I used to enjoy, like travel or go to concerts – though I did my damned best to still attend them, at least for the artist who I loved most.

Everything was a struggle. Every moment of every day.

I was also stubborn as fuck and refused to go on any medication throughout those 16 years because my gut was telling me that was not my path. Everything about it felt wrong to me, and so I pushed through my days, over and over. I felt trapped, hopeless. A pile of shit, to be honest. Life was bleak, and I saw no way in which it could ever get better.

In early December 2020, I remember clearly how I was sitting in my kitchen before lunch while my husband had Zoom rehearsals in the other room. All of the sudden, I was struck with a deep sense of clarity in my mind and absolute neutrality in my emotions unlike anything I had ever felt.

“This isn’t working,” a voice in my head said. “You can either change your life…or end it.”

I didn’t realize until months later that that voice was actually my higher self speaking to me. And oh boy, was she right.

Seeing how I actually had nothing to lose if I attempted to change my life (my reasoning was that I could always end it later if it didn’t work), I opted for that choice.

But I also made a promise to myself.

I would test out this path of changing my life with one condition I couldn’t break:

I had to be open to everything.

Whatever I came across, I would be open to it. I would try it out. I would learn.

And so I grabbed my laptop and started searching. For some reason, mindset came to mind first, and as I researched podcasts and free resources to start with, Kathrin Zenkina popped up among them.

As soon as I opened her website, there was a deep sense of knowing that this was where I was meant to be. She was the person I was meant to have as a guide at this stage of my life.

So I immediately signed up for her freebie library. Then signed up for Epically Aligned because I was just lucky enough to catch the enrollment period. It was a no-brainer to do her New Year’s program. I had no idea what even the program was, but I knew deep down I had to take part of it.

Those three days (as was the initial length of Epically Aligned) gave me my first taste of the transformative power Kathrin could bring to the table.

It was also my first foray into the world of manifestation and personal development.

And I loved it.

Did I have resistance?

Yes.

Did that logical side of me I tried so hard to cultivate since I was a kid (because intuition and spirituality were undesireable in our society) mock the content I was consuming and scoffed at me for wanting to believe this would work?

Oh fuck yes.

There was a whole side of me trying to get me off the path.

But I’d made a promise to myself and I had every intention of keeping it.

So I kept pushing away the judgments, the shame, and allowed myself to be fascinated by what I was learning.

I also experienced my first hypnosis session in that course and, wow, was I blown away by how a “simple” recording could change my state so much.

So when Kathrin mentioned she was launching a new Manifestation Babe Academy, where she was joining two of her older, more extensive programs into a whole new offering, I actually didn’t think twice.

I didn’t balk at what was a very hefty price tag for me at that point. Instead, the opposite happened. The Universe aligned so that I was able to afford the program.

In February 2021, the program launched.

Now before I get into the deets of the Manifestation Babe Academy, let me give you the rest of my story so that I don’t leave you hanging.

By July 2021, when I finished the program, I was able to not just leave the house, but actually travel again. I was able to go on a plane (something I loved doing before anxiety had caused me to experience claustrophobia too) and enjoy myself.

The depression still had some echoes going on, but I found myself falling in love with life more and more. I was able to live my life, have good days, and mostly be in a neutral state with just the occasional dip into depression that didn’t last longer than a couple of days at a time.

My external reality started to shift too, relationships with my family began to heal and elevate, becoming the kind I deep down wanted them to be.

I had released a bunch of trauma from my childhood I had previously been unaware I even had and had been severely holding me back and impacting my reality.

I manifested my dream Gibson SJ-200 rosewood guitar, manifested my very first German translations of my books that also really took off in Germany just a few months after their release. I discovered new interests, like playing ukulele, doing breathwork, exploring journaling…

…and in the years that followed, a lot of those interests turned into a whole new path in my life.

I had since become certified in EFT, TFT, and hypnosis. I started writing this blog with the intention to help people live the kind of life they want to live too, by following my inner guidance to simply share what I feel called to share.

I also have no doubts I would not have become a Yoga teacher if it hadn’t been for the groundbreaking transformation I went through in MBA.

My mindset has changed. My mood has changed. My thought patterns shifted. I cleared hindering beliefs, and I now know that I can always, always shift any belief from one that isn’t serving me to one that is. And with that, I get to create the reality I desire.

And as I am writing this, I am more than happy to share that since summer 2024, that old depression has fully vacated my life. I have reached the point where I can’t even connect with the state I used to be in any longer. It’s unimaginable to me.

And I love it.

I wake up looking forward to my days. I let my intuition and desires guide me in life. I am more creative than I’ve ever been (even as I’m doing “less” if we were to look at it from a traditional POV), and I am more tapped in and in tune with myself than ever.

I allowed myself to return to the spirituality that was natural to me as a kid before I snuffed it out just to fit in better.

This part of my journey was massive for me as well, because by acknowledging the spiritual and energetic side, a lot of things from the past cleared up for me that I previously hadn’t been able to make sense of.

Life is good, you guys. Life is so fucking good – and even when external circumstances might not be ideal, even when there’s hurt or grief or emotional turmoil, it all hits different. And I now have the tools I need to process all of it in a healthy way.

MBA was the program that gave me those tools. MBA connected me with myself. It taught me how to recognize and rewrite beliefs, process emotions, transmute my energy. It taught me the laws by which the universe (and manifestation) operate. It helped me heal my trauma, helped me release the past. It offered the spaces and processes to connect with my dream life, with my true heart’s desires. It gave me direction. It gave me choice. Power. Sovereignty.

It gave me a life worth living.

The beauty of this program is that you don’t just learn these things academically. With the way MBA is structured, you experience it.

The principles no longer exist just on paper. They exist in life.

And you get to observe them in action over and over.

I’m now at a point where you couldn’t convince me all of this is bullshit simply because I have so much proof otherwise. Because I had lived that proof and continue to do so.

So what can you expect from MBA?

• a deep dive into manifestation, explained through quantum physics, psychology, and spirituality
• an extensive look into the subconscious mind and how it operates
• learning about and clearing the things that are holding you back (energetically, mentally, emotionally)
• learning about how beliefs shape our reality and learning how to reprogram the mind
• connecting with your heart’s desires and making your vision more tangible
• a lovely dash of human design to spice things up
• and embodiment – so so much embodiment

In MBA we do journaling, guided meditations, neuroplasticity, vision boards, hypnosis, EFT, breathwork, RRT, and various other, extremely potent practices.

Originally, the program was 16 weeks long. I think it’s 20 now, so that you have even more space to move through the, perhaps somewhat heavier, modules. So just imagine, a several months’ long transformative journey where you get to unlearn the things that hold you back and learn those that actually propel you toward your dream life.

And if you don’t know what your dream life is, then MBA is the perfect space to get clarity on that.

There are also so many bonuses at the end of the program that either touch on more specific subjects or help you continue your manifestation journey, as well as masterclasses from guest lecturers.

Kathrin also supports the MBA program with Q&A sessions that are as insightful and impactful as her modules.

All in all, if you are a total beginner in the realm of manifestation, simply feel like you want or need to change your life, or are someone who already has experience in the personal development world but are looking for a structured, deeper dive, MBA is, in my opinion, one of the best and most extensive resources to invest in.

I find myself frequently returning to the program whenever I feel called to refresh the process, and it has always delivered results.

When I first joined the program, MBA only launched two times per year. Since then, however, Kathrin has made it evergreen so that you can join at any time. No need to wait for your transformation to start.

So if you’re interested in MBA, you can take a look at all the info and/or sign up right here.

The price at the time of this post is $2.999 for pay-in-full, but she does also offer payment plans for the program if you want to spread out the cost of the investment!

One final note to add to all this:

Every person at every different stage of their life is a channel for specific individuals. 2021 Kathrin was that channel for me. Her LA vibes, the energy, even the way the program looked back then with its abundance of pink, all of it called and spoke to me. The way MBA was set up was ideal for me, too – I loved that she was on screen along with the slides.

MBA (and Kathrin) have changed since then.

Kathrin entered a new, lovely phase of her life, the program also got a facelift (no more Kathrin on video, only slides). Which means I don’t resonate quite as much with her any longer.

But that’s not a bad thing. Not at all.

I might have had a short period of grief for the old program and old Kathrin, but I also knew that she had served as the perfect vessel for me on my transformative journey. And this beautiful, Arizona-living, mom version of Kathrin is meant to be that vessel for someone else.

That’s the beauty of the Universe.

Everyone gets to receive what they are destined for.

I received my healing. My first and fundamental step through the gates of becoming the conscious creator of my reality. The knowledge turned into wisdom. A new path. My vision of the kind of life I’m meant to live.

So of course it’s time for Kathrin to serve others – especially those who might not have been drawn to the program when I was. Because we are all different, we have different energies, different things that align with us. And everyone deserve an opportunity to receive these beautiful gifts MBA has to offer, just as I had.
