    DB 399: Gabby Bernstein's Guide to Thriving in Tough Times: Happiness, Hope, and Healing

    DB 399: Gabby Bernstein's Guide to Thriving in Tough Times: Happiness, Hope, and Healing

    In today’s rebroadcast, Eva welcomes Gabby Bernstein, a #1 New York Times Bestselling author (many times over),  and one of the world’s leading authorities on happiness.   https://dreambigpodcast.com/399
    We are longtime admirers of Gabby’s work, and actually did an entire solo episode about her work (Episode 208) about her famous “comeback rate” concept.  
    And now, the Big Dreamers get the gift of hearing directly from Gabby about why the “comeback rate” is so important and so many other practical tips on how to be and stay happy -- especially during life’s crazy times.   
    Gabby’s book, You Are The Guru: 6 Messages to Help You Move Through Difficult Times with Certainty and Faith, available on Audible.com.  Like all of Gabby’s content, this book is incredible and we would love it if you support her and follow her accounts for never ending inspiration and positive vibes.  You can check it out here.
    Here’s what you’ll learn from this episode.
    The difference between achievement and being happy as a person.
    Why it’s never a good idea to judge people and yourself as well.
    Gabby’s advice for students who are feeling overwhelmed.
    How Gabby responds when people ask her if she’s always happy.
    The importance of having a “comeback rate.”
    How long Gabby visualized working with Oprah and Deepak Chopra before that dream actually became a reality -- and how she made it happen.
    Gabby’s advice to her 11-year old self.
    Gabby’s Big Dream for the future.
    And so much more!

    #398: Defying the Odds: The Wilma Rudolph Story

    #398: Defying the Odds: The Wilma Rudolph Story

    Roll into Women's History Month with Sophia Karpman in an epic episode of the Dream Big Podcast that's all about sprinting towards your dreams! This special episode shines a spotlight on the lightning-fast Wilma Rudolph, a hero who raced against all odds to become an Olympic legend. 🌟
    Hop over to: https://dreambigpodcast.com/398
    Why Wilma Rudolph, you ask? Well, it kicked off with a school project about amazing women who've made history. And boom! Wilma Rudolph raced into Sophia's mind. But wait, there's more! Sophia's sister Eva, just joined the school track team, totally loving the run, which zapped us right back to Wilma's incredible journey.
    Imagine being told you might never walk, but instead of giving up, you tie those shoelaces tight and zoom past every single "no" to snatch your dreams right at the finish line. That’s Wilma for you! Plus, we've got a secret about her super speed waiting to be uncovered.
    Wilma wasn't just any girl; she was the 20th kid in a big, loving family, facing huge hurdles right from the start. Despite serious health battles, including polio, she never let anyone's doubts slow her down. With her family’s unshakable support and a spirit that just wouldn't quit, Wilma took her first steps alone at nine years old, smashing every doubt along her path.
    From a shaky start to becoming the fastest woman on the planet at the 1960 Rome Olympics, Wilma’s story isn’t just about winning gold; it's about breaking barriers and proving that big dreams do come true, no matter what.
    As we celebrate Women's History Month, let’s dive into Wilma Rudolph's journey from a determined little girl to an Olympic powerhouse. And hey, Big Dreamers, we’ve got a challenge for you! Chat with your folks about the lessons Wilma teaches us. What sparks your interest? How does her story inspire you?
    Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! Share with us on social media or drop an email at olga@dreambigpodcast.com. Remember, no matter the hurdles, keep sprinting towards your dreams with all you’ve got, just like Wilma did. Keep dreaming big, keep believing, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll be the next big change-maker.

BEST PODCAST EVER!!!

I love The Dream Big Podcast so much. It’s so inspirational, and interesting, and whenever I’m looking for something to listen to, The Dream Big Podcast is always my top pick! A big thank you to to Eva, and now Sophia, and Olga for inspiring me, and many others.

Kind cat ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🐈‍⬛

Can you make a episode about superhero’s? As in fire fire fighters and nurses and more? Love your show! Bye!

Excellent Podcast For Everyone

I have listened to all 144 episodes and have loved them!! Eva who just turned 10 and her mom, Olga, have guests who have inspired me, taught me, and entertained me. Eva also has podcasts where she talks about her experiences and what she has learned from them. If I were still teaching, I would make The Dream Big Podcast one of my weekly activities with my students. It’s a great opportunity to listen to the podcast as a family and talk to your children about what makes each guest so special. 3 years have gone by since my last review. The podcast has changed. Sophia is now getting her chance to be a host along with Olga and they are doing an excellent job. I will continue to listen every week and learn something new. I will also take the challenges and try new things. Just because I’m 77 doesn’t mean I stop learning and don’t do anything new. 😄❤️❤️😄
