Manifestation era vs lucky girl syndrome

A broader phase of active intention-setting across any area of life.
lucky-girl-syndrome

Origin and context
Grew from the broader online manifestation and law-of-attraction community that gained traction on TikTok and Instagram from 2020 onward. The 'era' framing comes from the trend of calling personal phases eras, popularized in part by Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
