When the Voice of God Interrupts Your Life: A Story of Awakening and Radical Trust – An Interview with Nancy Ebrahim

How does a quiet inner knowing evolve into a life devoted to healing, intuition, and aligned manifestation?

For Nancy Ebrahim, awakening wasn’t a single moment—it was a lifelong unfolding. Raised in a strict Coptic Orthodox tradition, her spiritual sensitivity emerged early, yet it wasn’t until adulthood that intuition, faith, and lived experience began to weave together into something entirely her own. From hearing a prophetic whisper as a teenager to writing books, navigating profound personal loss, and ultimately stepping into her role as a healer and guide, Nancy’s path has been shaped by deep surrender, discipline, and trust in divine alignment.

In this conversation, Nancy shares her extraordinary awakening journey, how healing the heart becomes the gateway to conscious manifestation, and why true abundance begins with energetic alignment—not ego-driven desire. She also speaks to the power of discipline, the role of intuition in modern leadership, and how following Spirit—one step at a time—can transform both life and purpose.

It’s great to be with you. I love to start many of our conversations the same way—by asking about your journey of awakening. That story is always so compelling to me. I’d love to hear about your process of awakening to consciousness, mindfulness, and spirituality. And maybe we can begin with your childhood. Did you grow up with some form of faith or spiritual experience, or did that come later in life?

Nancy Ebrahim: Much later. I grew up very Christian—specifically Coptic Orthodox, because I’m Egyptian. I was born in Egypt but raised in Montreal, Canada, where I did my schooling. So I’m French Canadian as well, which explains the accent people sometimes notice—it’s a mix of French, Arabic, and English.

I grew up in a very strict religious environment. Coptic Orthodox Christianity is quite traditional, and my mom took me to church every Sunday. Church wasn’t just an hour—it was three hours every week. It was a lot.

Even then, I always felt like the black sheep. I went to church to connect with God, and I could genuinely feel His presence. But at the same time, there were things I noticed that didn’t sit right with me. I didn’t understand it then, but I was very intuitive, very psychic even, though that awareness hadn’t come online yet. I could sense that something was off.

When I was sixteen, something significant happened. I was in high school, which I honestly hated. I used to sit in the back of the class, hunched over, trying not to be noticed. One day, I heard a whisper that said, “Nancy, by the age of forty, you’ll be writing a book.”

I didn’t even like writing. I had no idea what I would write about. I remember thinking, Am I going insane, or is this real? During recess, I told my best friend, who was the complete opposite of me. She loved writing and was incredibly creative. I said, “I’m going to be writing a book by the age of forty.”

She looked at me, and instead of questioning it, she simply said, “I know.”

That moment felt like another confirmation—like something divine was happening. She didn’t ask questions. She didn’t doubt it. I just felt it. After that, I put the idea on the back burner.

At eighteen, I started listening to Oprah. I never missed an episode—she became a mentor to me, right there in my living room. She once said, “Everyone has a purpose. You need to ask yourself, what is your purpose?”

That question shook me. I grew up believing life followed a set path: you go to church, get married, choose a profession, and have children. My dad was a lawyer. My mom worked in banking and studied law. My sister studied law. Everyone around me was a lawyer—and again, I was the black sheep. I thought, I’m going to discover what I want to do.

That idea of living with purpose—something beyond career, marriage, and children—was another step in my awakening.

Later, I started working part-time in retail, selling clothes, alongside my studies. Eventually, I decided to become an elementary school teacher. Even then, I would write in my journal, asking myself, What am I teaching? And who am I teaching? I knew there was more, but I felt I needed to learn first.

Funny enough, right next door to the store where I worked was a bookstore. That voice came back: Nancy, you’re going to be writing a book. So I thought I should probably start reading books. During my breaks or after work, I’d wander into that bookstore and browse—nothing religious. I’d had enough religion.

I gravitated toward self-help. Tony Robbins became another mentor of mine, even though I’d never seen him in person. I read all his books. Then there was Deepak Chopra—fascinating to me, especially because he was a medical doctor who chose a different path. And Louise Hay. I followed my intuition from book to book.

I always say this for anyone listening: follow the nudge. Those little nudges lead you to the next step, the next level, the next awakening.

After that, I decided to pursue a master’s degree. I finished my bachelor’s in education and thought, No, there’s still something missing. So I did my master’s in educational psychology. At the end of the program, we had a choice: take classes or write a thesis. I thought, I’m going to be writing a book someday—I need to prepare. So I chose the hard road and wrote a thesis.

It was supposed to be a hundred pages. And the topic? How to bring your thoughts and desires into reality—which is exactly what I help people do now through manifestation. I drew on Tony Robbins and all the authors who had inspired me.

After that, I got married and moved to California—my husband is from there—another manifestation. I had two beautiful sons, who are now eighteen and twenty-one.

I tried to start writing the book when I was around 30, but nothing came of it. I remembered the message: by the age of forty. So I thought, Maybe I need more life experience. I lived my life. I taught. I had my kids. I opened a daycare.

When my second son was born, something shifted. I knew I couldn’t go back to teaching. Something was pulling me to stay home with him. I thought, Maybe now is the time to write the book. I was about thirty-five or thirty-six.

But I was exhausted. Running a daycare is intense. I realized there was no way I could write a book in that state. So I hired an assistant, expanded the daycare, and carved out one hour a day—during nap time—to write.

From seven in the morning to seven at night, I cared for over twelve kids. The daycare was very successful, even during the 2007 recession. Every day, for one hour, I sat at my screen and wrote.

I knew I wanted to combine my psychology background with my Christian beliefs—using Bible verses, but in a new way.

Another huge part of my awakening came during my master’s program. We were often asked to go back into our past and identify events that shaped who we became. I remembered moments like my dad being impatient while teaching me math. That experience became the catalyst for me becoming a teacher—I promised myself I would be kind and patient.

When I revisited those memories, I would cry. Trauma changes who we become. But going back, healing it, changed me again. I released the pain. I stopped being triggered.

That’s when something clicked. I thought, What if I combine this with our Christian beliefs? What if God can heal us? What if forgiveness frees us? What if I can feel God’s presence more deeply, trust my intuition more, and feel more confident?

I started seeing those changes in myself—and that’s where the awakening truly began. Writing the book was part of it, too.

Amazing. And so the first book—because I know you’ve written two books—your first book is entitled…

Nancy Ebrahim: It’s Are You on the Right Path?: How to Heal Yourself and Recreate Your Life!

That title really reflects where I was in my own life at the time. I was married, I had my daycare, and I was asking myself, Am I on the right path? And the second part—how to heal yourself and recreate your life—speaks to what happens when healing begins. When you heal, you can consciously create the life you desire.

When I finished writing that first book, something happened—and honestly, I don’t even know where to begin. For nine months, I wrote that book one hour a day during daycare, every single day. Then my husband, my kids, and I went camping in Lake Tahoe. We loved camping—high altitude, incredible stars. For the first time in my life, I saw a shooting star. And of course, I made a wish. I wished to become an author, to be successful—very ego-based wishes, looking back.

When we came back home, I realized I had accumulated 400 pages. Four hundred. I knew the book wasn’t going to be that long, but I had written consistently, driven by something that felt like a calling. No one was guiding me. I didn’t tell anyone I was writing it.

And that’s something I always tell people now—when you’re creating something meaningful, don’t tell everyone. People can unintentionally discourage you.

So for nine months, I wrote in silence. Then I realized I needed real stories—stories people could relate to. Not just Bible stories or psychological concepts, but lived experiences.

And then I heard it again: It’s your story, Nancy.

Another whisper.

I thought, What are you talking about? After a year of deeply connecting with God, dissecting the Bible, and integrating everything I had learned through psychology and my master’s degree, I still couldn’t understand it. My story? I was just a teacher. A mom. A daycare provider trying to become an author.

But the message was clear: Because you’re just regular Nancy, people will relate to you.

At first, I was looking for famous names—well-known people whose stories I could tell. And instead, I was being asked to tell my own.

That’s when everything shifted. I could no longer write during nap time. I had to write at night, after the kids were asleep—when the house was quiet, and I could really go inward.

And yes, I realize I’m doing all the talking now, David.

You are telling your story—yes. And please, keep going. I want to hear how all of this led you to where you are today, because you made a massive shift. So how did this book actually get birthed?

Nancy Ebrahim: Yeah. So this is where it really deepened.

During my master’s program, I realized something essential: when you become aware of emotions we label as “negative”—like loneliness, guilt, anger, or depression—and you truly face them, you can release them. Nothing is actually negative. Once you process those emotions, you create space. You start becoming free. You begin stepping into the person you’re meant to be.

So in my book, I wrote chapters like Moments of Loneliness. I asked myself, When did I feel lonely? I was completely raw and transparent. I wrote about moments of anger, moments of depression—and even saying that surprised me. Me? Depressed?

But you don’t always realize these things unless you sit with yourself and ask the hard questions.

As I continued writing, I started waking up at three o’clock in the morning. I needed that quiet to focus on my own story. At first, I set an alarm, but my husband was sleeping next to me, and I didn’t want to wake him every night. My assistant said to me, “Nancy, if this is from God, He’ll wake you up.”

She was right.

I stopped using the alarm. And every single day, I woke up at 3 A.M. sharp. I’d sit at my computer—it was a big desktop in our bedroom—while my husband slept, and I would write.

Sometimes, I would write about experiences I thought I had already healed from. And suddenly, I’d start crying again. I realized there was still something there. So I went even deeper. Writing the book became a cleansing process. I was doing everything I later asked others to do—feeling it, releasing it, healing it.

Then something unexpected happened.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of automatic writing or channeling, but one night I started writing things I didn’t consciously plan to write. It was completely silent—no noise at all—and suddenly I was writing about cancer. I had never personally lost anyone to cancer, yet I could feel how many people were affected by it. I didn’t even want to write about it, but the message was clear.

I wrote about Egypt. I wrote about September 11. I didn’t fully understand why at the time, but I heard clearly that so many people were still carrying unresolved pain—loneliness, anger, grief—from those events.

Then I heard something that shocked me.

“Nancy, wherever you’re going, your husband cannot follow you.”

I broke down. I thought this meant divorce. And honestly, I didn’t believe my marriage was that bad. I knew something was missing, but I never thought it would end.

So I said, If this is truly from God, He’ll take over. I didn’t say anything to my husband. I didn’t act on it.

A week later, my husband started behaving differently. And around that same time, God began speaking to him, too. I use the word “God” because that’s how I relate—but people can call it Divine, Creator, Spirit. I’m open. For me, it’s God.

God began preparing my husband. He told him that the daycare had to close—that chapter was ending, and I was being guided to the next level.

So, God was speaking to your ex-husband as well?

Nancy Ebrahim: Yes. Preparing him. I’ve come to believe that sometimes God speaks to men differently, maybe even before women fully see it. He spoke to me through the book, and to him through direct insight.

One day, my husband told me, “Nancy, we’re going to close the daycare.” And in that moment, I knew—this is real. Everything I had written was unfolding in real time.

Then something even more profound happened.

It was November 2011. I don’t remember the exact date, but I remember the month. My husband took the kids to his brother’s place for the night. God had already told me this would happen—and told me not to say anything.

The next day, it was just the two of us in the kitchen. We had recently installed speakers throughout the house—originally for music at the daycare. And suddenly, the speakers turned on.

It was a deep male voice.

We looked at each other. And I knew—God had taken over.

I wasn’t scared, but my husband was. He hadn’t built the same relationship with God that I had during that year. What was happening was undeniable.

There were two layers of communication. One was the inner voice we all know—the voice of thought. The other was coming through the speakers. And for nine hours straight—from morning until evening—it did not stop.

The voice read Bible verses continuously, not in a way that made logical sense, but in a way that felt instructional. At the same time, God was speaking to us internally, guiding us step by step.

He would say things like, “Give Nancy a glass of water.” My husband would hear it too and bring it to me. Then God would say, “Nancy, drop it.” I would start to let go, and my husband would rush to catch the glass. It was training—showing us this wasn’t imagination.

For three of those hours, I couldn’t even lift my head. It felt like an enormous force pressing down on me. I rested my head on the table, and God kept saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’m leading you to your purpose. Your life will not be the same, but I will be with you.”

I was exhausted. I remember saying, God, how much longer?

At the same time, God was instructing my husband about everything—our separation, the house, the belongings. And He made it clear: if my husband didn’t follow those instructions, he wouldn’t be able to move.

I watched my husband try to stand—and he couldn’t.

That’s when I knew: this was no joke.

Were you hearing them through the speakers, or were you hearing them internally, through your own thoughts?

Nancy Ebrahim: The instructions—the actions we were meant to take—came through our thoughts, through that inner voice giving clear direction. But the speakers were different. The speakers carried a loud, external voice—what I can only describe as the voice of God—reading the Bible.

It sounded like scripture being read aloud, over and over. It was almost as if God was saying, I’m here. I’m present. And just saying it now gives me chills. I’ve shared this story a few times, but this is actually the first time I’m telling it fully on a podcast.

There’s another important layer to this. My husband ended up lying about what happened. And God had already told me that would happen. He said, When Nancy tells this story, she will tell the truth. When you tell it, you will lie.

So my family was left having to discern who was telling the truth. Isn’t that strange? But my ex had to remain true to who he was. So there were two versions of the story.

At exactly six o’clock that evening, everything shut off. The voice stopped.

And then, right in front of me, God told him, You can no longer touch her. She is no longer your wife. From that moment on, we began the separation and divorce process.

That was truly my awakening—the moment I knew that voice was real.

As for why there were two voices: if everything had only come through the speakers, how would I be guided afterward, in daily life? The speakers were the declaration: “I am here.” This is real. This is not imagination.

The other voice—the internal one—carried forward. That was the voice we had been trained to listen to, both of us. Even after the separation, my ex still had to listen to it, because he was caring for the kids, too.

That was the event. The turning point.

Wow. That’s absolutely amazing. So you shut down the daycare. And I want to move into what you’re doing now, because I really want people to hear about that. At what point did your gifts begin to come online, at the point where you started serving people? You mentioned sensing something as a child, but when did that truly activate?

Nancy Ebrahim: After everything that happened, I did different jobs here and there. Then I went through another relationship and a breakup that really shook me. I couldn’t understand why things unfolded the way they did.

During that time, I started listening to YouTube videos from tarot readers, oracle readers, and intuitive readers. For about a year, while I was working various jobs and even beginning my third book, I listened constantly.

And I kept feeling it: There’s something here. These people were healing others through their intuition, their insight, their voice.

After about a year, I heard clearly, Nancy, you can be that person.

So I bought my first tarot deck.

It’s important to say that this was years after God first spoke to me—seven or eight years, really—from the time I wrote and self-published my book. During that period, I would sometimes meet someone randomly, hold their hands, and give them a message from God because I could hear Him.

But doing that publicly or online felt impossible. I needed a tool—something tangible—to bridge that gap. Tarot became that tool.

Later, I learned that tarot actually originated in ancient Egypt. You can see its symbolism carved into temple walls. That lineage felt deeply meaningful to me—like a reconnection with my ancestors.

As I began reading tarot, people kept saying the same thing: Your voice. There’s something about your voice. They felt drawn to it.

I asked God, What is it about my voice? And He said, Nancy, you’re a healer.

At first, I was shocked and surprised by that. But then I realized—I had already healed so much within myself. Why wouldn’t I be able to help others?

So I began guiding people—offering insight into relationships, helping them attract love, supporting them emotionally. Over time, I added chakra healing and manifestation work. It all evolved organically through my work with clients.

That’s how it started—how I began truly serving people through my intuitive gifts.

And so you started just posting online—on Instagram or TikTok—doing collective tarot readings?

Nancy Ebrahim: Yes. At that time, I still had a regular nine-to-five job. God was placing me in different environments, step by step.

I began filming by focusing the camera only on the cards. I didn’t want to show my face. I’m not sure if it was shyness, or if it simply wasn’t divine timing yet—but everything unfolds exactly when it’s meant to. For that first year, I posted on YouTube without ever showing myself, and people started finding me that way.

God was very clear: We’re not doing this halfway. So I created a website right from the beginning. People would watch the videos and then book sessions directly through the site. It was very intentional—very structured.

But before I really began offering tarot readings publicly, something important happened.

I went back to Egypt after twenty years. Returning to my homeland was a powerful experience in itself. And something activated there—something deep. Looking back, I believe my gifts needed that reconnection before I could truly begin helping others.

At the time, I didn’t even know about chakras. Coming from a religious background, I was still very much in that framework—God speaking to me daily, doing different jobs, following each instruction as it came. And then suddenly, I was guided to go to Egypt.

I stayed for a month, then felt called to extend my stay for another month. On the second day of that extension, I slipped on the stairs and fractured my ankle.

I remember thinking, Okay, God—I’m doing everything you’re asking, and now I’m stuck in Egypt with a broken ankle. Doctors told me I needed surgery. I refused. I said, I’m not doing an operation.

So I stayed in my hotel room. And Egypt is interesting—you can find incredibly affordable places to stay. I had booked a hotel for three weeks for about seven dollars a night. I’m not exaggerating.

There had been a mistake in the booking, but three brothers owned the hotel and honored it. That’s what divine alignment looks like.

From my window, I could see the pyramids.

That’s when God said, Nancy, we’re going to activate your chakras.

I thought, What are chakras? I’d heard of them vaguely—maybe in a Buddhist context—but I didn’t really understand. I even joked with God, saying, Are we becoming Buddhist now?

And He said, No. Chakras are your energy field. Everyone has them.

He told me I needed to release blockages and prepare for what was coming—though I didn’t yet know what that was.

So I went on YouTube. I searched Google. I learned about chakras. And I healed myself.

That was another activation point—another quiet but powerful turning moment before everything that came next.

I love how you describe yourself as a Divine Manifestation Activator. Often, people come in wanting to know what’s going to happen with love or money. When you first began understanding manifestation, did that come from books? Or was it something God was directly teaching you? How did that unfold for you?

Nancy Ebrahim: Manifestation was something I was already doing long before I had a name for it.

Whenever I truly wanted something, I would move toward it—but I was always careful not to force it. I understood early on that if something felt forced, it likely wasn’t God’s will. I wasn’t interested in manifesting something God didn’t want for me.

I manifested my husband. I manifested moving from Canada to California. I manifested writing my book. Each time, I could feel that there was healing involved—something that needed to be released before the manifestation could fully arrive.

At the time, I didn’t even know this process was called “manifesting.” It wasn’t until I started hearing the term on social media and other platforms that I realized, Oh, that’s what I’ve been doing all along.

I never labeled it. I just lived it.

Then one day, someone asked me, “Can you teach me how to do this?” And without hesitation, I said yes.

I always checked in with God. I asked, Can I teach this online? Can I teach chakra healing and manifestation through a screen? And the answer was yes.

As I worked with clients, they began asking specifically to learn manifestation. That’s when teaching it became part of my work.

Of course, many people come in from the ego—I want to manifest money. I want to manifest a specific person. And I never shut that down. I say, “Yes, let’s look at what you desire.” But then I gently bring them back to alignment.

Are you aligned with your spirit guides?
Is this truly what Spirit wants for you?

Because you can want something that isn’t actually good for you.

So manifestation, as I see it, isn’t just about getting what you want. It’s about aligning what you want with what the universe—or Spirit—wants for you.

That’s why I call myself an activator. I don’t just help people manifest—I help them align with the right manifestations for their path.

How would you define manifestation in your own words?

Nancy Ebrahim: For me, manifestation is the process of aligning your heart, your energy, and your belief system with what Spirit wants for you.

Because that’s what actually brings happiness.

It’s all about alignment. If someone comes to me and says, “Nancy, I manifested a Mercedes,” and then tells me it caused stress, debt, and exhaustion—I’ll say, That wasn’t aligned manifestation.

If instead you ask, Please provide what I need. Give me reliable transportation—release the ego attachment, and the right thing arrives at the right time.

You may get the Mercedes later—but timing matters.

So I teach people how to manifest while staying aligned with Spirit and the universe, so what they call in actually supports their wellbeing and their path.

And how do they know the difference between something coming from the ego versus something that’s aligned with what Spirit wants for them?

Nancy Ebrahim: You can tell by how it feels afterward.

When something comes from ego—like the Mercedes example—it often brings stress instead of joy. You’re not actually happy. Or someone manifests a specific person, like an ex-partner, and the relationship still feels heavy, unfulfilling, or painful.

The ego is always tied to intention. Ask yourself: Why do I want this?
Is it to validate who I am?
To look a certain way?
To feed an image?

Or is it for growth?

The same action can come from two very different intentions. You can be in front of a camera to be famous—or you can be in front of a camera to help people grow. The action looks the same, but the energy behind it is completely different. So it always comes back to intention.

I hear many people say that the universe is always saying yes—that whatever we put out, the universe responds affirmatively. Do you believe that’s true? Because I’m also hearing you say that Spirit has its own desires for us. How do those ideas work together?

Nancy Ebrahim: In a way, yes—the universe does always say yes. Everything is available to us. Fast food, healthy food—it’s all right there.

If I want a burger, I can get one. But is it good for me?

You can find out by eating burgers every day and seeing how you feel afterward. Or—you can save yourself the time, the pain, and the lesson, and simply ask Spirit for guidance.

You can say, Please save me the headache. Help me manifest something actually good for me.

When you do that, Spirit will guide you toward nourishment instead of excess.

So it sounds like there are different approaches. One is asking Spirit, “Show me what’s best for me,” and then manifesting from that place. Another is being more general—“I need a car,” or “I need a job,” and trusting Spirit to provide. How do you see this working most effectively for your clients?

Nancy Ebrahim: When I teach manifestation, I always tell my clients: Be specific. As specific as you want.

If you want a car, name the type. Toyota, Honda, whatever it is. Be clear. Then look at the actions you’re taking to get there. If obstacles appear—maybe it’s too expensive or too stressful—then you reassess.

But don’t limit your desires. Dream big. If you want a million dollars, write it down. The power of writing is one of the most important techniques I teach. Write as if it’s already happened:

I am so happy and grateful that I have this beautiful home by the beach.
I am so happy and grateful that I drive this car.

Vision boards help, too.

Then I take them deeper. I say, Now let’s align your chakras.

Once we align their chakras, something shifts. They’ll suddenly say, You know what, Nancy? I don’t actually want my ex anymore. Or That thing I thought I wanted doesn’t feel right now.

Alignment reveals truth. I already know it, but chakra alignment allows them to realize it themselves.

How do you help them align their chakras?

Nancy Ebrahim: That’s actually why I wrote my second book, Unlocking the Power of the Law of Attraction: A Beginner’s Guide to the 7 Chakras Cleansing and Alignment. It’s very simple—nothing complicated.

I usually start with the heart chakra, because most people come in heartbroken. That pain might be from a relationship, from money loss, from grief—there’s always something there.

We begin with release. Healing always starts with letting go of past trauma, pain, and resentment. Then we move into activation.

Each chakra has a chant, or mantra. For the heart chakra, it’s Yum.

The heart chakra is a beautiful green energy, right in the center of the chest. In Sanskrit, “chakra” means disc. I often describe it as a spinning ball of green light.

There’s also a mudra—a hand position—to help activate it. And if you have crystals, rose quartz or jade are especially supportive for the heart.

I’ve never done chakra healing before.

Nancy Ebrahim: Oh, wow. Then let’s do a short one together—just two minutes.

Close your eyes for a moment.
Imagine a beautiful green light in the center of your chest.

Take a deep breath in…
And as you breathe out, release anything that no longer serves you—pain, old trauma, resentment, or someone you need to forgive.

Now gently chant with me: Yum.

Again. Deep breath in…
Breathe out…
Yum.

Feel that green energy expanding—filling every cell with compassion, kindness, and love.

Imagine that green light flowing down from your spirit guides, surrounding your heart, reminding you how deeply loved you are.

Love yourself the way Spirit loves you.

One more time…
Yum.

And when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes.

Thank you. That was wonderful. It actually feels really good—even just the vibration moving through my body feels powerful.

Nancy Ebrahim: Yes. When you place your hands there and chant, you can feel the vibration moving through you.

Each chakra has its own chant—the root, the sacral, the solar plexus, the heart, the throat, the third eye, and the crown. When you activate them, especially the third eye, you start to feel more connected, more motivated, and clearer about going after your dreams.

I know you offer several different sessions—chakra clearing and healing, tarot readings, and manifestation work. There are so many ways people can work with you. What’s the most common reason people come to you?

Nancy Ebrahim: They usually come with questions.

Is my partner the one for me?
Am I going to be successful in my business?
Should I leave my job?

And they’re looking to you to use tarot as part of that guidance?

Nancy Ebrahim: Yes—and energy as well. I read energy too. Most of my sessions are on Zoom, but if someone is shy, we can do a phone call.

Through their energy and the tarot cards, I can see what’s happening beneath the surface. I can see pain. I can see where healing is needed—sometimes in the cards, sometimes in their eyes, sometimes just in the feeling.

That’s when I’ll say, Before you make a big decision—leaving your partner, leaving your job—let’s heal first.
Let’s start with the heart chakra. Let’s clear what’s blocking you before you take action.

Sometimes we go straight into manifestation. Other times, we focus on healing first. But in every session, there is healing—always.

I see it like this: if your closet is full of clothes, and you keep buying more, eventually it’s chaos. You don’t even know what you own anymore. You have to clean the closet first. You decide what stays, what goes, and then you make space for something new.

Manifestation works the same way. If you don’t make space, how can anything new come in?

That’s why I always begin with the heart chakra. The heart is your compass. It guides you toward your next step—toward love, purpose, money, healing.

But if that compass is covered in dirt—old wounds, pain, resentment—how can you see which direction to go?

Healing clears the dirt. And once it’s clear, the guidance is already within you. Everyone has that inner knowing.

Sometimes we just need a little guidance to help us access it.

You are amazing on video! Truly. I’m watching you and thinking back to what you said about your friend, because it’s true: there is something magnetic in your voice. It’s powerful. And you tend to start your videos the same way each time. You’re doing a tarot reading—would you call it a collective tarot reading? How would you describe it?

Nancy Ebrahim: Yes, it’s a collective tarot reading.

Okay—say the two or three sentences you always open with. You know the ones I mean.

Nancy Ebrahim: I don’t believe in coincidences. I believe in divine alignment. If you’re here, it’s because you’re meant to hear this message today.

Yes—that’s it. When you say that, it’s so powerful. And I see the world through a marketing lens, because that’s my background. The way you say it pulls me in as a listener. I’m like, She really believes this is meant for me—I better listen. And you do believe that. You trust that the right person will hear the message. That’s the wild thing about the algorithm—the right people find it.

So tell me about how you approach your readings, and why you think they’re so successful.

Nancy Ebrahim: You know, I’ve even said to God, If you look at other tarot readers, they talk about everything—career, money, life. But all I talk about is love. Love, love, love.

And I’ve said, God, aren’t people going to get tired of me talking about love?

But God knows what people actually need.

If you’re in pain, you can’t truly thrive. You can’t build a successful business. You can’t fully help others. Everything starts with the heart.

So my readings are about love because that’s where people are hurting the most. I attract a lot of heartbroken people—people who feel isolated. There’s so much connection online, yet so much loneliness. People don’t know where to go.

Some don’t want to go to church. They won’t find their truth there. Some don’t want to see a psychologist or therapist. And I’m accessible—right here, right now.

Most people don’t know I’ve written books. They don’t know my education. They don’t know my full story—which is now being shared through this conversation. I also have a podcast that I’ve started creating.

When clients come to me, I always ask, What made you choose me over someone else? And every single one of my clients has found me through YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram. I’ve never advertised my website—never.

I don’t know much about marketing. What I know is that sharing my gift and trusting it will reach those who need it.

Many people have told me they’ve healed just by listening to my readings. I don’t just pull cards—I convey messages. I tell them things like: Don’t chase. Be in your feminine energy. Be empowered.

In one minute, sometimes two, I aim to elevate them.

I invite them to participate—Write this below:
I am so happy and grateful to be abundant.
I am so happy and grateful that love is already on its way to me.

That involvement matters. They feel the difference.

And even if they never book a session with me, healing still happens. Just as I was healed years ago by listening to people online, now I get to be that for someone else.

Speaking to those who are listening or watching, who are conscious leaders—healers, coaches, readers—people like yourself who may not be as far along yet: how do you motivate yourself to create content consistently? Videos, podcasts, posts… You have so much out there. How do you stay motivated to do it regularly?

Nancy Ebrahim: Discipline. When you have a calling, discipline becomes like food. You wouldn’t ask yourself, How do I find time to eat? or How do I find time to get dressed or buy groceries? It’s just part of who you are.

When your work becomes part of your identity, you don’t overthink it—you just do it. This is my livelihood. It’s my only income. Everything I do comes through social platforms—YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

I wake up, make my coffee, do my chakra work because I need to meditate first, go for a walk, do some movement, and then I create my videos. It’s a routine.

I think back to when I was writing my book. I only had one hour while the kids were sleeping, and then I had to wake up at three in the morning. I had a daycare, two young kids, a husband, twelve children to care for—and I still wrote a book.

When there’s a will, there’s a way. There are no excuses.

Now it’s just rhythm. I create my videos, and my website takes care of the rest. People book directly—it’s my secretary. I don’t have time to manage endless messages. If someone reaches out, I send them to the website.

People feel safe with me. They feel stability. And that’s important.

So really, it’s discipline—and not thinking too much about it. You just do it.

I hear discipline, but I also hear mission—and livelihood. It’s all connected. Tell me about your podcast. It’s relatively new—Dream and Manifest with Nancy. What is it, and where can people find it?

Nancy Ebrahim: I realized that in my tarot readings, I don’t really have space to tell my full story. So the podcast became that place. You can find it on YouTube and Spotify.

My first episode was about awakening—what the signs of awakening are. People want to know more about me, but I don’t talk about myself on social media platforms. God told me, There needs to be another space.

So I created the podcast as a sacred place—somewhere people don’t feel alone. I’ve lost everything before. I know what it feels like to hit rock bottom. Even my own parents didn’t believe me when God began speaking to me. I lost a lot.

The podcast is where I share my story openly. Eventually, I want to invite guests and ask them about their awakening journeys. Stories are how people relate. When you hear someone say, I went through that too, something heals.

If I could do this for ten years in isolation—no seminars, no mentors, just me and God—then anyone can do it.

The podcast shows the path I took and how it helped me manifest my dreams in alignment with Spirit. I talk about dreaming big, manifesting love and money—but always aligned. Not chasing things that impress others but leave you stressed and exhausted.

Maybe your dream isn’t a mansion. Maybe it’s a quiet cottage—but you forgot because you were trying to impress someone else.

That’s what the podcast is about: remembering your true desires and aligning them with Spirit.

What’s the best place for people to book a session with you and follow your work online?

Nancy Ebrahim: My website is AlignedManifestations.com. You can also find the link in my bio on all platforms. Everything is there—sessions, email, bookings—it’s all open and accessible.

If someone is reading right now and struggling with love, money, relationships, family—what encouragement would you want to leave them with?

Nancy Ebrahim: First, you’re not alone. Even if you feel alone, you’re not. You have Spirit, God, your ancestors, your guides, loved ones who’ve crossed over—they’re all around you. You just need healing to feel their presence and guidance.

Second, if it feels like you’ve lost everything, it’s not the end—it’s a beginning. There is always a way out. There is always hope.

And finally, learn detachment. Attachment to people, outcomes, or possessions can block the path you’re meant to walk. When you release attachment, clarity comes.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel.

Thank you, Nancy, for sharing your story. It’s incredibly powerful. Thank you for the impact you’re making in people’s lives—and it will be amazing to watch your work continue to grow.

Nancy Ebrahim: Thank you, David. It was such a pleasure.
