#437 - Monday Motivation: "When you are clear about what you want, the world responds with clarity."

This week has been a big one for me.

I’ve just come home from delivering one of the most challenging keynotes of my life. I spoke in front of 1,500 event organisers from around the world. It stretched me. It scared me. And it reminded me of something so important that I want to share with you today.

You do not start with 1,500 people.

You start small.

That's how every dream begins.

In this episode, I want to talk to you about clarity. Because what I see again and again is not a lack of courage. It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of ambition. It’s overwhelm.

We want to do so many things that we end up doing ...less than that.

So today, I’m asking you a powerful question:

If nothing changed between now and the end of 2026, would you feel proud… or slightly disappointed?

In this episode, I share:


Why clarity is more powerful than motivation


The three reasons clarity changes everything


How to stop drifting and start deciding

If you are successful but restless… juggling everything but not lit up… or simply ready to move the needle in your life, this episode is for you.

Your dream life does not happen by accident.

It starts with getting clear.

Let’s dive in.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

…and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛

#436 - The Importance of Getting Clear on What you Want

Welcome to another short and empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week...

Today, we explore the powerful truth that real change is created through small, consistent actions over time, inspired by a simple mantra:

'Little by little, a little becomes a lot.'

Three key takeaways you can expect:


Why small, repeatable habits matter more than big bursts of motivation.


How to let habits carry you forward, even on tired and imperfect days.


How to recognise progress by noticing who you are becoming, not just what you are achieving.

Listen in and reconnect with the idea that your dream life is created through small, intentional choices made day by day, helping you move forward in a way that feels supportive and sustainable for you.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

…and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛
