    #244 - THE POWER OF SOLITUDE: DISCOVERING CLARITY & CREATIVITY WITHIN

    #244 - THE POWER OF SOLITUDE: DISCOVERING CLARITY & CREATIVITY WITHIN

    Hello & welcome back 😊

    In today's hyper-connected world, finding moments of true solitude can feel like searching for rare treasure.

    Yet, it's within these precious moments of quiet that we uncover the deepest insights about ourselves, our desires, and the path to creativity, productivity and genuine fulfillment.

    Listen in as we delve into the transformative power of solitude and solo retreats - the practice of intentionally embracing personal space and silence to connect deeply with ourselves, reflect, dream and plan.

    If you're seeking clarity, creativity, or simply a break from the noise of everyday life, tune in and let this be the nudge you need to carve out that essential space for yourself.

    Because in the quiet, you might just find what you've been searching 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.    

    Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛

    #242 - WORK BACKWARDS: HOW TO DESIGN THE LIFE YOU WANT, with Tim Duggan

    #242 - WORK BACKWARDS: HOW TO DESIGN THE LIFE YOU WANT, with Tim Duggan

    Hello & welcome back!

    If you're reading this, I know that you're someone interested in the concept of living a life by design, not by default.

    Tim Duggan is an author and entrepreneur, who has a great story of turning his childhood dreams of writing into his reality as an adult - illustrating the power of persistence, creativity, and early experimentation.

    And I think you'll find this conversation to be a roadmap you can follow if you're looking to move your life towards a more fulfilling direction.

    Listen in to discover:


    How your early endeavors in life can help set the foundation for later success.
    How pivotal moments in one area of life can lead to a life of purposeful independence if that's what you want.
    Strategies for dealing with imposter syndrome and the importance of taking action towards your dreams, regardless of fear.
    Insights into Tim's latest book, "Work Backwards: How to Design the Life You Want," and how it serves as a guide for rethinking our relationship with work, prioritizing well-being, and living more intentionally.

     

    Join this conversation as we explore how to break free from societal expectations and design a life you love.

    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.

Drifting with dahlias ,

Thank you for your words, and the many introductions.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for as long as it’s been running, and I’m so thankful to have Kristina in my life. I feel like she’s a good friend, and one of my dreams is to meet her one day.

I have found searching for my dream life thought provoking. Since I’ve been building Kristina’s words of wisdom into my life, I’ve found the courage to start my own small micro business (side hustle), continue to study which has just opened my door to a job that I’ve been dreaming of having for years.

None of this has been easy or without challenges, but tuning into this podcast has helped me make sense of the life I want.

Happy, healthy midlife ,

The perfect podcast for me 🙌🏼

Love everything about this podcast, the topics, the guests, the take-always and Kristina’s positive attitude 🖤

xanthe rose ,

New favourite!

I love that the episodes tend to be on the shorter side, a great quick listen but always jam packed with valuable information! 💓
