What We're Covering:

• Why we lose the ability to dream as we get older
• My realization at 34: I've been dreaming small and being "realistic" (barf)
• How life events (shutting down business, family mourning) made me stop dreaming big
• Why you're allowed to dream after responsibilities, age, and life changes
• The balance between responsibility and dreaming (you can do BOTH)
• How to start cultivating dreams again through vision boards and collections

Your Empowerment Tools:

✨ Breath Practice: Three deep breaths (inhale, one more sip, exhale completely) - reminds us all is well and we have everything we need inside

✨ Dream Permission: You get to dream AND dream BIG dreams, no matter your age or what's happened in life

✨ Desire Test: If it's a desire in your heart and you feel fulfilled/alive doing it, it IS possible for you

✨ Mom Dreams: If you're a mom, don't just dream for your kids - think BIGGER dreams you can give them. They'll be grateful you did.

Key Reframe: My 20s was constantly dreaming massively. Then life happened - shut down business, family mourning, intense life things. I lost the spark to dream. Last night I realized: I'm dreaming SMALL. Being "realistic." I felt like I wasn't ALLOWED to dream after a certain age or after certain things happening. But that's what made me happy in my 20s - that's what life is ABOUT.

Truth Bomb: The moment you stop dreaming, life gets mundane. You feel like you're dragging on. The spark goes away. Before you know it, 10 years passed and you're like "whoa, what happened?" I want to catch us BEFORE those 10 years pass.

Day's Action Step: CREATE A VISION BOARD today!

Option 1 - Old Fashioned: Pen to paper, magazines, all that jazz

Option 2 - Digital:

• Go on Pinterest, save things, put on Canva or PowerPoint
• TikTok collections: someone traveling to Italy? Save it under "manifesting this" or "dreaming of this"
• Make it your desktop background or phone background
• Look at it every day

Daily Practice: Tell yourself: "I get to dream and I get to have this."

Start cultivating dreams again. Begin to reclaim the power you have within. See where it takes you.
