Badassfirmations: The Art of Belief and Manifesting
Badassfirmations are where belief, appreciation, and soul meet to shape a life you love.
Beyond mantras and mood boards, beyond affirmations and airy mindfulness, does any of it really work?
If you’ve ever tried to meditate and ended up frustrated, skeptical, or rolling your eyes, we’ve met in spirit.
After years of chasing one practice after another, I found myself at an impasse of inaction and disappointment. Then, somewhere between exhaustion and curiosity, a single word found me: appreciation.
Not gratitude. Appreciation.
At first, I resisted it (hello, Doubt Goblin). But over time, something softened. Appreciation wasn’t another thing to do. It was a way to be.
And that’s where the idea of Badassfirmations was born.
What’s a Badassfirmation?
A Badassfirmation isn’t a shiny sentence you whisper to trick your brain.
It’s a truth your heart already knows, spoken with belief.
The “B” stands for Badass and for Belief because real change doesn’t come from the brain down to the heart, but from the heart outward to the brain.
It’s a declaration you can feel in your bones. A statement your whole self says yes to.
How Badassfirmations Work
Badassfirmations are easy to craft, and they work because they’re rooted in honesty and embodiment. They help us manifest the lives we dream of and desire, not through forcing or wishing, but through belief that reshapes what we attract and allow.
Two of my clients recently had powerful breakthroughs using them (see Liora’s Story for one example).
And me? I met my forever beloved because of one.
My Badassfirmation was simple:
I am Loved. I am Loving. I am Lovable.
It wasn’t about saying the words. It was about feeling them.
I let those words fill my chest as I breathed. I felt the love of my children, my friends, my community. I felt the warmth of being love itself. Not waiting for it, not wishing for it, but being it.
There was no expectation of what romantic love would look like or when it would arrive. I simply basked in the love that already surrounded me.
I did this for about six months, most mornings right when I woke up (this is an ideal time for bio-rewiring our brain).
And then, one day, I swiped right and met the man who matched that vibration.
This practice changed my perception of the men I was meeting. More importantly, it changed me, my vibration, my signal to the world of who I am and what my heart’s desires are. Today, I’m married to my beloved, evidence that our vibrations create our reality, if we can get out of our own way by hushing the Doubt Goblins.
The Evolution of Badassfirmations
Over time, I created different types of Badassfirmations. There are Badassfirmations that align with the body’s energy centers (think “I am,” “I create,” “I do”) and lighthearted ones like “Today is a great day to be a badass,” followed by whatever your soul needs most.
One of my favorite practices is a morning appreciation ritual I do with my husband. As soon as we wake, while our minds are still soft and open, we name what we appreciate. The comfort of the bed. The sunlight streaming through the window. The quiet of the morning.
I often gaze at the sunrise while doing this, feeling the day greet me with warmth and possibility.
These small practices may seem simple, but they rewire the brain and soften the heart. Over time, they build belief from the inside out.
And for clients, they’ve been monumentally transformative. As one said to me this week, “This is the best gift you have ever given me.”
Why It Matters
Badassfirmations remind us that belief isn’t performance. It’s permission. You don’t fake your way into faith. You feel your way into it.
They’re not about who you’re trying to become. They’re about remembering who you already are.
If this speaks to you, it’s time to meet your Doubt Goblins — those sneaky voices that whisper you’re not ready, not worthy, or not enough. They’re not your enemies. They’re invitations to return to belief.
I created a free guide, How to Tame Your Doubt Goblins, to help you start that shift. It’s playful, practical, and powerful — a perfect companion to your first Badassfirmation.
