Today I’m thrilled to introduce you to a truly inspiring woman - Jacinta Duffy, founder of Life Shared.

After two decades across nursing, healthcare and aged care - and supporting her own parents - Jacinta saw the human cost of loneliness and the pressure on families.

So she set out to reimagine care and connection through intergenerational home-share. 

In our conversation we explore the sliding-door moments that shape a dream life - redundancies, pivots, and the courage to “shine your light” even when media or public speaking feels uncomfortable.

We also talk about the power of doing the work - daily rituals, weekly reflections, and stacking quarters of progress - something our Dream Life Coaching community knows well.

Three takeaways you’ll love:


Mindset shift: Why setbacks can be setups for comebacks - and how to keep walking through hard seasons.


Rituals that work: The simple planning + reflection cadence (daily/weekly/quarterly) that fuels momentum.


Start before you’re ready: The gentle nudge to share your message, say yes to media, and connect with the right people.

Pop in your earbuds and enjoy this heart-opening, practical episode.

It might just spark the match you’ve been waiting for 💛

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.    

Dream Big 💛
