Hi there 💛

I’m so excited to share this quite personal episode with you - taking us back to when I was 22 — a little lost, close to broke, and unsure where life was heading. 

I was living in a new country, when a 3am moment of restlessness sparked something inside me. With a little nudge from my partner Paul, I wrote down a simple list of dreams.

Nothing fancy — just heartfelt intentions like wanting a career I loved, a way to stay connected to my family in Sweden, and enough money to live and call back home.

That small act of writing those dreams down changed everything. It was the beginning of what became kikki.K, and now Dream Life.

In this episode, I’m sharing how that moment turned into what I call my dream life, and how you can begin manifesting yours — no matter where you’re starting from.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨ Why writing down your dreams is so powerful (and what science says about it)
✨ The exact three steps I use to manifest (you can start today!)
✨ The importance of letting go of logic and dreaming from your heart
✨ Why progress, not perfection, is what brings dreams to life

So if you’re feeling a little stuck, unsure where to begin, or just ready to take that next step — this one’s for you.

Grab your journal, light a candle, and let’s go on this journey together 💫

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛
