    Her speaking about love was interesting. How romantic love isn’t the only type of love, but icing on top of other forms of love while loving yourself is good way to think about relationships. Well said

    • @wesf6758

      February 14, 2025 at 6:25 pm

      Agreed, I love how other languages like Greek have many different words for all the different types of love 🙂

      Platonic love needs more love and attention in Western society.

    I’ve read so many manifestation books, but Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane is different. It finally explained the missing piece, and now things are happening in ways I can’t even explain.

    • @apoorvasingh9688

      February 15, 2025 at 5:28 pm

      Hi where to find this book .

  14. @kmpriyanshikumari3972

    February 14, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    Saw Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane mentioned in so many comments and finally bought the book. It’s not like other manifestation books—it actually breaks down why most people stay stuck and how to fix it, and it seriously works.

  15. @Shyam__ff-oe3uo

    February 14, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    I kept seeing people talk about Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, so I finally gave in and bought the book. Honestly, I didn’t expect much, but it completely changed how I see manifestation—it actually works.

  16. @VenuGopal-wn6fw

    February 14, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    Wasn’t expecting much when I bought Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, but wow. Never had a book explain manifestation like this before, and after making just one change, I’m already seeing results.

    Yaaaasss!! The brilliantly beautiful, erudite Miss Rothwell!I utterly and totally love you. A refreshingly honest Ted Talk I can relate to on several levels. I will always relish the opportunity to see you use your voice and take up space.🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤

    TED talks have a way of igniting a fire within us! These thought-provoking ideas are not just inspiring, but also life-changing. I love how TED bridges the gap between innovation and accessibility. Each talk is a testament to human curiosity and the pursuit of excellence. Keep spreading knowledge and empowering minds, TED!
