#207 - Monday Motivation: Your Focus Determines Your Reality

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

Today, we explore the powerful truth that motivation may start us, but discipline is what creates real and lasting change, inspired by a quote from John C. Maxwell:

"Motivation gets you going, but discipline keeps you going."

Three key takeaways you can expect:


Why motivation is unreliable and why discipline is the real foundation of your dream life


Five gentle, practical ways to build habits that actually stick


How small, loving daily actions compound into extraordinary change over time

Take this opportunity to learn how to create habits that support your dream life, even on the days you don't feel motivated.

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 💛

How letting go of perfection and comparison unlocks progress

#427 - Monday Motivation: "It's not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be".

Today, we explore the idea that the year ahead does not need to be perfect, it simply needs to be intentional:

‘The year ahead does not need perfection. It just needs intention.’

Here are three key takeaways you can expect:


Why real, lasting change comes from pausing and listening, not pressure or perfection.


What it truly means to live intentionally, and how alignment changes everything.


Simple ways to begin creating an intentional year, starting right now.

Take this opportunity to learn how to slow down, reconnect with what truly matters to you, and make calmer, more aligned decisions as you move through the year.

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.
