From Rock Bottom to Manifestation: How Nervous System Healing Transformed One Entrepreneur's Life
In this powerful episode of The Flow State podcast, hosts Monica Grohne and Norah Candido sit down with Mayssa Chehata, founder of Behave Candy, to explore her transformative journey from entrepreneurial rock bottom to nervous system healing and authentic manifestation.
The Misconception of Quick-Fix Manifestation
Mayssa's story begins like many others - discovering manifestation through popular books like "You Are a Badass" and believing that simply writing a check for $10 million would make it manifest. However, her experience running a business revealed a crucial truth: "You don't manifest from your conscious beliefs," she explains. "If somewhere in your subconscious you believe that you would never be a person who will have a million dollars, you will never be able to manifest that."
When Manifestation Backfires
After raising close to seven figures for her candy company, Mayssa experienced what she calls a "Pandora's box of chaos." Despite achieving her conscious goals, her unhealed subconscious beliefs about worthiness and success created a dysregulated nervous system that led to years of struggle. Her business barely survived, and she found herself unable to leave her apartment, experiencing extreme fatigue and spiraling thoughts.
The Physical Symptoms of Nervous System Dysregulation
Mayssa's rock bottom manifested in various ways:
- Extreme fatigue and inability to complete basic tasks
- Frequent illness correlated with emotional avoidance
- Reactive skin issues
- Emotional eating patterns and sugar addiction
- Complete disconnection from her body's signals
These symptoms highlight the crucial mind-body connection that impacts overall health and success.
The Breakthrough: To Be Magnetic Program
When traditional therapy wasn't enough, Mayssa discovered the "To Be Magnetic" program - an affordable $30/month investment that became life-changing. The program focuses on:
- Deep meditations targeting childhood memories
- Reparenting inner child work
- Subconscious reprogramming
- Processing stored emotions in the body
"I processed like 30 years of stuck emotion in really the first six months," Mayssa shares, emphasizing that healing doesn't have to be a decade-long process.
Nervous System Regulation Through Breathwork
Complementing her meditation practice, breathwork became essential for releasing stored emotions, particularly anger that women are often socialized to suppress. These sessions included "sacred screams" and emotional release that helped clear decades of suppressed feelings.
The Investment in Healing
Despite being in financial crisis, Mayssa invested heavily in spiritual coaching and healing modalities. Her perspective: "If I don't do this work now, I'm stuck here." This investment mindset proved transformative, as she eventually paid off over half her debt seemingly overnight once her nervous system regulated and her manifestation abilities aligned.
Maintaining the Practice
Now on the other side of her rock bottom, Mayssa emphasizes that healing is an ongoing practice requiring:
- Continued meditation and breathwork
- Regular spiritual coaching sessions
- Therapy for additional support
- Awareness of old patterns trying to resurface

Key Takeaways for Manifestation and Healing
- True manifestation requires subconscious alignment - conscious desires mean nothing if your deep beliefs contradict them
- Rock bottom can be a catalyst - sometimes we need to hit our lowest point before we're ready to do the deep work
- Healing has a timeline - while individual experiences vary, significant shifts can happen within months of dedicated practice
- Investment in healing pays dividends - both financially and emotionally
- Trust your body and intuition - even in the darkest moments, your inner wisdom knows what you need
Mayssa's journey demonstrates that true transformation requires diving deep into subconscious patterns, regulating the nervous system, and developing an authentic relationship with manifestation that goes far beyond vision boards and affirmations.
