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 a powerful reminder that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why - a quote often attributed to Unknown but carrying timeless wisdom:

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

Three key takeaways:


How discovering your 'why' can transform your everyday life.


Four practical steps to help you reflect, reconnect, and align with your purpose.


Why your purpose doesn’t need to be dramatic - and how small daily actions can create meaning.

Listen in and be inspired to create more clarity, alignment, and joy as you move through your week - and your life - on purpose.

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 💛

Dream Big 💛

Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

#401 - Monday Motivation: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”

#424 - What to stop, start & continue in 2026

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 trusting the magic of new beginnings, inspired by a beautiful quote from Meister Eckhart that speaks to the quiet inner knowing that it is time to begin again:

‘And suddenly, you know it’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.’

Three key takeaways you can expect from:


How to reflect on the year that's been and honour what it has taught you.


Why new beginnings don't need to be big to be powerful.


How to trust yourself and take one small aligned step forward.

Take this opportunity to learn how to create space, clarity and intention as you step into a new chapter of your life.

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.

#423 - Monday Motivation: “And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.”

If you have ever found yourself saying, "next year will be different", then this episode is for you.

Today I want to talk about how to make 2026 your best year yet.

Not a busy year. Not a year where you tick lots of boxes but still feel unfulfilled. I am talking about a deeply meaningful year. A year where you stop waiting, choose yourself, and finally begin creating the life you have been quietly dreaming about.

Over the years, through dreaming, doing, failing, rebuilding and starting again, I've learnt one powerful truth.

Your best year does not just happen. You create it. And you create it with clarity, intention and small, consistent steps forward.

In this episode, I guide you through the most important foundational work that so many people skip. 

The work that changes everything.

So, if you want 2026 to be the year you stop waiting and start creating, this episode will gently guide you there.

Grab a cup of tea, take a breath with me, and let this be the moment everything begins to shift.

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.
