Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

#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.    

…and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛

#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.

#422 - HOW to MAKE 2026 YOUR BEST YEAR YET

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 and slightly uncomfortable reminder from John D. Rockefeller about releasing 'comfortable' in order to create something truly meaningful:

“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”

Three key takeaways you can expect:


How to recognise the areas of your life where you may be settling for good instead of what truly lights you up


How to reconnect with your own definition of great without pressure or comparison


How small, courageous steps can gently move you toward your dream life

Listen in and reconnect with the part of you that knows you are meant for a life that feels aligned, fulfilling and deeply yours.

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.
