When someone with 22 years of online business experience, 1 million podcast downloads, and thousands of clients worldwide says they're switching platforms—you take note. Glenyce Hughes, founder of Manifestation Lab, didn't make the decision to leave Kajabi lightly.

She'd been running her membership on the platform for years, paying premium prices for what she thought was premium functionality. But as her business evolved, the cracks in Kajabi started to show: "I was paying a premium and still trying to make it do things it wasn't actually built to do."

The breaking point? Yet another price increase for a platform that still required constant workarounds. That's when she started seriously looking for an alternative—and discovered Movement, an all-in-one platform actually built for memberships that grow and evolve.

Can you tell us about our business and who you help?

I'm the founder of Manifestation Labs, and I've been helping people reinvent themselves since 2002. My work is all about guiding clients to release the limits they've been taught, trust their own energy, and create lives that feel expansive, aligned, and full of possibility.

If you've ever been told you're "too much" or that your dreams are unrealistic, I'm here to show you the truth: there is always more that's possible. I work with people around the world who are ready to make bold choices and create their dream lives—whether that's through my podcast (which has over a million downloads), my programs and courses, or direct coaching.

I used to believe my only option was to suffer through life. Everything changed when I discovered the power of energy, shifted my beliefs, and started taking courageous action. That transformation led me to start my business over 22 years ago, and I've been helping others do the same ever since.

What problem were you facing before using Movement?

I'd been running my membership on Kajabi, and it worked until it didn't. I was paying a premium and still trying to make it do things it wasn't actually built to do. When the recent price increase hit, it just didn't make sense for the level of functionality that I actually needed.

The price increases were one thing, but I was also constantly wrestling with the platform. I needed something robust—multiple tiers, organized trainings, clean user experience, room to expand. I did not want to have to move platforms again in a year. That's when I started seriously looking for an alternative.

What made you choose Movement over other platforms?

I came across Movement and I was intrigued right away. It looked clean, it looked structured. It looked like it was built for memberships that actually grow and evolve.

Of course, I was skeptical. I needed something robust and I did not want to have to move platforms again in a year. But I decided to try it, and the moment that I started building inside of Movement, I knew this was it.

It was simple in the best way—logical, flexible. What really stood out was the team, the responsiveness. They actually care about the creators building on their platform.

How has Movement helped you grow, simplify, or scale?

Since moving to Movement, my business feels lighter. I'm not wrestling with tech. I am not overpaying for features I don't use. I can build quickly. I can pivot quickly. I can test ideas fast.

Financially, it's been a much smarter choice. Operationally, it has saved me time. If I didn't have Movement, I would probably still be forcing a platform to fit instead of building exactly what works for my membership.

What would you tell another coach or creator considering Movement?

If you are building a membership, digital school or layered program and you're tired of making things work that just don't, I recommend trying Movement. It simplified my backend and gave me the space to focus on what I actually do best: teaching and creating.

Looking back, Glenyce is clear about what would have happened without Movement: "If I didn't have Movement, I would probably still be forcing a platform to fit instead of building exactly what works for my membership."

After 22 years running successful online businesses, she's learned that the right tools don't just make your work easier—they give you space to do your best work. "It simplified my backend and gave me the space to focus on what I actually do best: teaching and creating."

For Glenyce, that means guiding clients to create expansive, aligned lives—not wrestling with platforms that weren't built for how her membership business actually grows and evolves.
