Hi there!

Five hundred episodes. I can't quite believe it.

When “podcast” first came up on my dream list, I straight away thought, I can't do that. English is my second language, I'm not a journalist, and I had never interviewed anyone. I wrote it down anyway, and I started.

In this episode, it's just you and me. I share the 12 lessons that have turned my dreams into reality, grouped into what I call the Dream Life Momentum Formula: clarity and belief, courageous and consistent action, and an experienced mentor and a supportive community.

As you listen, ask yourself: which of these is strong for me, and which one needs a little love?

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 Grouphere.

Have a wonderful week ...and remember, it all starts with a dream.

Enjoy!

#500 - 500 Episodes Later: The 12 Lessons That Turned My Dreams into Reality

Hi there!

When were you last in flow?

That one question, heard on a podcast, was a turning point for my guest this week.

Emma Small is an occupational therapist, a ceramicist and one of our Dream Life Coaching members, and she is in the middle of a big career change in midlife.

In this episode, Emma shares how she went from feeling stuck to making time for the work she loves, alongside the job she already has. We talk about why mindset became her word for the year, why she writes her three goals down every single morning, how she made room for ceramics by letting some things go, and why it matters to stop and celebrate the progress along the way.

She also shares her morning routine, the novel that shaped her at 11, and the advice she would give her younger self.

Is there something you loved once, and lost sight of along the 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 Grouphere.

Have a wonderful week ...and remember, it all starts with a dream.

Enjoy!

#501 - Emma Small on Mindset, Routines and Creating Her Dream Life

Hi there!

What would you build if a hard season showed you exactly what was missing?

In this episode, I sit down with Jess Armstrong, founder of the skincare brand FUCA. Jess was diagnosed with breast cancer at 35, with a five-year-old and a three-year-old at home, and she started creating FUCA while she was still in treatment.

She shares why she couldn't find skincare she felt safe using, or a beauty industry she could see herself in, how many rounds it took to get her first moisturiser right, and how MECCA came on board before she had sold a single product.

We also talk about what helped her through the hardest days: time by the ocean, stepping away from social media, and one simple morning ritual.

What's the thing you've been waiting to feel ready for?

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 Grouphere.

Have a wonderful week ...and remember, it all starts with a dream.

Enjoy!

#499 - Starting Before You’re Ready: How Jess Armstrong Built Fuca Through Chemo

Hi there!

Have you ever finished a podcast episode feeling inspired and ready to change, only to realise a few weeks later that your life looks much the same?

In this episode, I'm speaking especially to those of you who have been listening for a long time.

I explore why understanding something can feel so much like progress, why the promises we make to ourselves are the first to go in a hard week, and why support isn't a sign you've failed. It's the structure that helps change last.

I also share a decision about the future of my Monday Motivation episodes, and why I'm moving that work into a space where inspiration can turn into action.

What have you known for years, but never had anyone beside you to act on?

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 Grouphere.

Have a wonderful week ...and remember, it all starts with a dream.

Enjoy!
