#357 - Monday Motivation: "We must cultivate our own garden." - Voltaire

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

Three key takeaways you can expect from this episode:

The power of micro-adjustments: how small daily choices lead to big transformations.


Why investing in support, tools, and community can accelerate your journey toward freedom.

Listen in and discover how even one small action today can bring you closer to your dream life — however you define it.

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.

#367 - Monday Motivation: “The goal isn’t more money. The goal is living life on your terms.” – Chris Brogan

I'm excited to bring you today’s conversation — one that I know will deeply resonate with so many of you.

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel — running, juggling, hustling — yet still feeling like you never have enough time?

That constant pressure to do more, earn more, achieve more?

Well, what if I told you there’s another way?

In this episode, I chat with Lloyd J. Ross, author of Become Time Rich, who has made it his life’s work to intentionally step off that treadmill and design a life filled with freedom, peace, and true wealth — not just financial, but time wealth.

Lloyd’s story is fascinating.

From starting out as a lawyer to moving into property development, entrepreneurship, investing, and ultimately creating multiple income streams, he shares how he discovered that freedom is far more valuable than simply chasing money.

And how living intentionally allowed him to design a life where he works when and how he wants, enjoys time with loved ones, and builds businesses that work for him — not the other way around.

In this episode, you’ll discover:


🌿 Why true wealth is about owning your time, not just your bank account.


🌿 The three types of leverage you need to scale your income and your freedom.


🌿 How even small steps — like one hour a day — can lead you to your dream life.


🌿 Simple mindset shifts to move from overwhelm to empowered action.

If you're ready to break free from the constant busy-ness and start building a life you love, this episode will give you the tools, the mindset, and the inspiration to get started.

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 💛
