Manifesting, it’s the term that seems to pop up everywhere these days, but what does it actually mean?
On this week’s The Mind Full Podcast, I’m digging into the science behind manifesting, looking beyond the fluffy ideas to understand what really works when setting and achieving big goals. And who better to guide us than two powerhouse guests who live the science of manifesting in different ways, Will Ahmed, the CEO and founder of the groundbreaking health tech brand WHOOP, and Dr. Sabina Brennan, a neuroscientist and author of The Neuroscience of Manifesting.
With Will, we dive into the practical realities of building an empire from scratch, staying resilient, and overcoming self-doubt. Meanwhile, Dr. Brennan gives us a science-backed approach to manifesting so that we can set achievable goals without the need for crystals or wishful thinking. So if you’re ready to learn what real manifesting is all about and get inspired to chase your own dreams, keep reading.

This week on the show we look at Real Manifesting with entrepreneur American CEO & Founder of the global fitness and health brand WHOOP, Will Ahmed. WHOOP, a company that Will founded as a young man at Harvard, has become a worldwide success with the company valued at nearly 4 billion dollars. It is worn by elite athletes from footballer Christiano Ronaldo to golfer Rory McIlroy and basketball star Lebron James. I chat to Will at his company headquarters right in the heart of Boston and we talk about loads of fascinating stuff like never giving up on your dreams, overcoming anxiety, the power of meditation for success in business and how Amazon tried to steal his idea from under him. The cheek!
We are also so excited to be joined by author, psychologist, neuroscientist and manifesting expert, Dr. Sabina Brennan. Sabina has just published her brand new book, the Neuroscience of Manifesting and if you’ve been feeling stuck, if you have a dream that’s been sitting in the back of your mind, if you’re ready for a change in career, relationship, money or any of your goals, then do not miss this invaluable deep dive into the scientifically proven and utterly fascinating exploration of Real Manifesting.

A Chat with Will Ahmed, Founder of WHOOP
WHOOP is a name you might recognise if you’re into fitness or wellness, but the story behind it is even more inspiring. I first met Will Ahmed at WHOOP’s headquarters in Boston. WHOOP started as an idea Will had as a young man at Harvard. He wanted to create a device that would help people better understand their bodies and improve their health. Fast-forward to now, and WHOOP is worn by top athletes, from Cristiano Ronaldo to Rory McIlroy and LeBron James, and valued at nearly £4 billion.
During our chat, Will opened up about what it’s like to take a vision and turn it into reality through sheer determination. He shared some real insights into how to keep pushing forward, even when the odds seem stacked against you. From overcoming early anxieties to dealing with corporate giants like Amazon, Will’s journey with WHOOP is a testament to resilience, focus, and a little bit of faith. His take on manifesting? It’s all about doing the hard work and staying connected to your core purpose.
For Will, meditation and mindfulness play a significant role in managing stress and staying grounded. We also chatted about how these practices contribute to his success in business, a lesson I think we can all benefit from, especially if you’re juggling multiple priorities.
Dr. Sabina Brennan on the Neuroscience of Manifesting
Manifesting doesn’t have to be about ‘good vibes only’, it can actually be rooted in science. Dr. Sabina Brennan, a neuroscientist, psychologist, and best-selling author, brings a refreshing, no-nonsense approach to the topic. Her new book, The Neuroscience of Manifesting, takes us through the nuts and bolts of how our brain processes goals and how we can use these insights to bring about meaningful changes in our lives.
Dr. Brennan explains that manifesting is less about visualising a specific outcome and more about rewiring how we think and behave. She breaks down concepts like neural plasticity and cognitive flexibility, which might sound intimidating but are really about training your brain to make changes. For those of us who feel a bit ‘stuck’ or are ready for a change, whether it’s in your career, relationships, or health, Dr. Brennan’s insights offer a path forward grounded in real science, not just wishful thinking.
Practical Takeaways for Real Manifesting
Both of this week’s guests bring their own unique insights, but there’s one common thread, manifesting is about taking concrete steps towards your goals. Will Ahmed’s story shows us the importance of perseverance, while Dr. Sabina Brennan provides the tools to start rewiring your mindset in practical ways.
So, if you’ve got a dream on the back burner, maybe it’s time to stop waiting and start acting. The science of manifesting is about more than just hoping; it’s about believing in your potential and doing the work to make it happen. Listen to the episode for more, and let’s start taking those steps together.
Ready to learn how to take control of your future? Tune into this week’s episode of The Mind Full Podcast with Will Ahmed and Dr. Sabina Brennan for real strategies on making your dreams a reality.
