#346 - A NEW QUARTER, A NEW CHANCE TO RESET & REFLECT

Hello lovely friends 💛

Today’s episode is a little different — and honestly, a little more personal.

I had a guest interview planned, but life had other ideas. Instead of scrambling to find a replacement, I listened to my gut and sat down with my journal. And what flowed out felt important. So, I decided to record a solo episode. Just you and me, sharing from the heart.

This week, I found myself deeply moved by the news of someone I knew passing away far too soon.

While we weren’t really close, her death shook something in me — a reminder of how precious and fleeting life really is. It led me to reflect on the importance of living intentionally and consciously creating a life that truly lights us up — what I call 'our Dream Life'.

As we step into a brand new quarter — Q2 - like a fresh mini New Year it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect, reset, and ask yourself:

Am I living a life I love? Or am I just ticking off to-dos?

In this episode, I share:

✨ A powerful mindset shift that came through journaling after a personal loss
✨ What a Dream Life really means — and how it looks different for everyone
✨ Why being “busy” isn’t bad, as long as it aligns with your purpose

I also open up about a magical in-person coaching day in Melbourne that reminded me just how powerful community and aligned dreams can be. 💛

If you’re craving a moment to realign and set some fresh intentions — this is your sign.

Take a deep breath… and come join me for this honest and heartfelt chat. I truly believe there’s something here for you.

With love,

TRANSCrIPT:
Hello and welcome. Today’s episode was meant to be an interview with a guest… but, as life often reminds us, not everything goes to plan. Normally, I have a backup ready, but this morning I felt something different — a quiet pull in a new direction.

So I listened. I journaled, and after pouring my thoughts onto paper, I decided to sit down and simply share what’s on my heart. Just you and me, having an honest chat. And I hope this episode inspires you to pause, reflect, and maybe even take one small step toward your Dream Life.

This morning’s journaling felt especially powerful.

A few days ago, I received news that someone I knew had passed away — far too soon. We weren’t close, but her death has stayed with me all week. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her, her family, the life that ended so early.

It’s deeply sad. It feels unfair.

But within that sadness came a powerful reminder — of how precious this one life is. None of us know how long we have. Which makes it even more important to make the absolute most of the time we do have.

And I know — that’s not always easy.

There’s so much happening in the world right now. Heartbreaking things. Overwhelming things. It’s easy to feel small… like we can’t make a difference.

But here’s something I believe with all my heart:
We don’t have to fix everything. But we can each do something.

That’s where my big dream comes in — to inspire 101 million people to create and live their Dream Life.

Because imagine this:

If each of us lived a life we love — a life filled with meaning, joy and purpose — our energy would radiate. It would ripple outward. It would be contagious in the best possible way. And that would make the world a better place.

So what is a Dream Life, really?

It’s a life you’ve chosen. A life that’s true to you. There’s no one-size-fits-all. No right or wrong way. It’s about aligning your dreams, values, passions and purpose into a life that feels meaningful, authentic and alive.

For me, it’s waking up excited about the work I do. It’s recording this podcast. Coaching incredible women around the world. Creating beautiful products that inspire. It’s traveling — wandering new cities, staying in unique Airbnbs, discovering amazing food, walking for hours with no destination in mind…

It’s all part of my Dream Life.

And of course, there are challenges — because life is life. But when you’re aligned with your purpose, those challenges feel a little easier. There’s something deeper guiding you through.

Speaking of purpose, I hosted an in-person catch-up in Melbourne last weekend with some of our Dream Life Coaching members — and it was magical.

Everyone had different dreams. Different journeys. Different challenges. But the energy in the room, the like-mindedness — it was beyond inspiring. I left feeling so lit up. And I know everyone else did too.

One of my dreams is to take those gatherings global — Dream Life Coaching circles in cities around the world. That’s a dream I’m working toward. And how exciting is that?

Now here we are — stepping into a brand new quarter. A fresh chapter. A mini new year. I love this time.

So I want to ask you something…

What do you want to focus on this quarter?
What dreams are calling for your attention?
What habits will support those dreams?
And most importantly, are you living your Dream Life — or working toward it?

As I was planning our next coaching workshop — which is all about productivity, and I can’t wait — something really stood out. Nearly everyone I speak to says they’re “so busy.”

And there’s nothing wrong with being busy. As long as you’re busy with the right things. The things that matter to you.

We live in a world that’s always online. Constant notifications. Emails. Social media that can swallow up every spare minute. But that’s not a Dream Life.

A Dream Life means consciously choosing how you spend your time.

For me, that means walking in nature. Journaling. Creating content. Sipping coffee in silence. Watching the sunrise. Reading books. Exploring cities. These are the things that give me joy and energy. They fill my cup.

So, what gives you joy and energy?

And are you carving out time for it?

In April, we’re diving into all of this in the Dream Life Coaching Program. And our April habit? Conscious breathing.

Yes, you already breathe — but are you doing it consciously?

Just a few deep breaths can shift your nervous system, your sleep, your focus, your whole state of being. It’s a game changer. And we’ll be exploring that together in our upcoming workshop.

If you’re not in the Dream Life Coaching Program yet — I’ve created a special intro offer just for you. It’s the perfect chance to come in, try it, and see if it’s for you.
