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 mindset shift around growth, desire and personal responsibility, inspired by a quote from Paul Arden:

‘It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be.’

Three key takeaways you can expect:


Why your desire to grow matters more than your current skills or confidence


How letting go of perfection and comparison unlocks progress


The power of one small habit to move you closer to your dream life

Listen in and reconnect with what you truly want, so you can take simple, meaningful steps towards living your dream life, in your own beautiful way.

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 💛
