MIND OVER MATTER
How This Mindful Millennial Tapped into Her Zen Zone and Manifested Millions
From couch surfing to motivational coaching, Ukranian-born Kathrin Zenkina went from being broke to making bank in just three short years. Here’s how she learned to master her mindset to make her dreams come true and how you can, too.
Who doesn’t dream of living a life of luxury, unlimited abundance, and prosperity? One filled with financial freedom, being the boss of a booming business, emotional vitality, personal empowerment, and living life on one’s own terms? Most everyone. However, why does it seem only a lucky few get to reap such seemingly unattainable achievements, while others seem to “settle” for, well, whatever? Unfortunately, few ever really achieve the level of success that warrants endless stints of spontaneous globetrotting, fast and fancy cars, homes all over the world, celeb status, or a spot on Forbes’ covetous 30 Under 30. How about manifesting millions in just a few years?
Kathrin Zenkina is here to tell you it doesn’t have to be this way. Everyone has the power within themselves to manifest their deepest desires. Everyone.
The CEO of multimillion-dollar brand Manifestation Babe, number one Amazon bestselling author, host of a top 100 podcast in the Health and Self-Help category, and a voracious leader to a dedicated online community of over 200,000 hungry, millennial women, is here to tell you that YOU can achieve all your wildest dreams. You just need to learn how to shift your mindset and watch the magic happen. The 26-year-old Ukranian immigrant has already attained self- made, multimillion-dollar status, after barely being able to make ends meet working minimum wage-paying gigs just three years ago.
The Cinderella Syndrome
The daughter of a hardworking, traditional family who fled the Ukranian mafia in the middle of the night with only $900 dollars to their name, leaving behind their high income, posh lifestyle, to seek refuge in Los Angeles, Zenkina was raised with the expectation to get good grades, work hard, and eventually become a doctor. This was the plan. Deeply wanting to make her family’s unceremonious escape to America worth the trouble, Zenkina acquiesced and followed the dreams of her family.
Following her parents’ unamicable split when she was still very young, Zenkina withdrew both mentally and socially, gaining 30 pounds and enduring years of merciless bullying. Unbeknownst to her at the time, it was her coping mechanism of incessantly escaping into daily, “happy place” reveries that would soon become the portal to her life of success.
An Overdue Rude Awakening
The daughter of a hardworking, traditional family who fled the Ukranian mafia in the middle of the night with only $900 dollars to their name, leaving behind their high income, posh lifestyle, to seek refuge in Los Angeles, Zenkina was raised with the expectation to get good grades, work hard, and eventually become a doctor. This was the plan. Deeply wanting to make her family’s unceremonious escape to America worth the trouble, Zenkina acquiesced and followed the dreams of her family.
What followed was a long-overdue break-up with a long-term, stagnant relationship and finally telling her parents she was not going to pursue their dreams of her becoming a doctor. Instead, she maxed out credit cards and invested fifteen thousand dollars in private life coaching and attending even more inspirational and motivational events like the one she attended with Tony Robbins earlier that summer. It was now or never and she was all in.
But, as with the best-laid plans, things got way worse before getting any better.
Crashing on her grandmother’s couch because she couldn’t afford the exorbitant Los Angeles rents, Zenkina reluctantly picked up a nine-to five receptionist gig for a meager $15 bucks an hour. Feeling more and more disenchanted with each passing day, despite experiencing her life-changing epiphany a few months back, was an understatement, to say the very least.
An Overdue Rude Awakening
Zenkina went from a paltry $9K to a hefty $600K net worth in less than a year’s time. What was her secret to such stealth wealth in such a short amount of time? She stayed the course of committing to mastering her mindset.
“The actions you take on a daily basis are driven by the beliefs and attitudes you hold about your business.” - Kathrin Zenkina
Her mindful trajectory included continuously consuming content that generated only powerful positivity, personal empowerment, and productivity, whether it be in the form of podcasts, audiobooks, social media, YouTube videos, etc. No exceptions. No detours. No excuses. Zenkina spent a least two hours daily engrossed in the timeless, enduring works of inspirational leaders, such as Napoleon Hill, Oprah, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Tony Robbins, and other manifestation mentors. These legendary thought leaders taught her that rewiring her brain is crucial to attaining any level of life-changing success.
What soon followed was the creation of a website, an official Instagram account, and private Facebook group “Manifestation Babe” where Zenkina shared free content to all her fans and diehard followers seeking a more purpose-driven, meaningful, mindful life. By mid-2017, Zenkina surpassed 25,000 followers and within three years, 200,000. Offering both private and group coaching packages, self published workbooks on Amazon, and innovative, digital courses, the Manifestation Babe brand grew to incorporate 10 different, success-seeking services, leading to an income of $600K that following year.
Now, You Try It!
Let the power of positivity create a path to a life well-lived and attain the brand of success you desire with these quick tips from the Manifestation Babe:
• ONLY Consume Content Conducive to a Purposeful and Fulfilling Life
Whether it be through audiobooks, podcasts, Instagram scrolling, make sure the content you consume is positive, empowering, and uplifting. This will set the tone for every decision you make in life and in business, so make sure you’re setting a positive foundation for your impending empire.
• Live Life As if “You’ve Already ‘Made’ It” and Repeat After Me…
Tap into positive affirmations to combat negative thoughts that will always try to find a way to pop up in your head. When these “negative Nancy’s” make an appearance, literally shut them down!
• Visualize Your Life and Business EVERY DAY as if It Already IS
Picture the “end result” as if it’s already yours for the keeping, because the subconscious mind cannot discern between what’s real and what’s imagined. Dr. Richard Suinn, who observed that Olympic athletes’ brains lit up whether they were actually skiing or just visualizing skiing, you, too, have the power to trick your brain into manifesting the seemingly unattainable. Try creating a mental movie in your mind every day and/or night - even for just 10 minutes! This mindful, purposeful practice resets the neural connections in the brain, mapping a fresh blueprint to success. Consider it wishful thinking, hardwired.
Bear in mind, this will all take time. After all, many of us were not raised with this powerful way of believing in oneself. Most of us were taught that hard work and graduating from college are the only keys to long-term success and that financial freedom is completely indiscriminate and the luck of the draw.
Believe that you ARE worth it, that anything you want to achieve is possible, and that it all lies in the power of your mindset. When you work in shifting your mindset more than anything else, you’ll discover your mindset will return the favor.
Thanks, Babe!
