Four practical steps to help you reflect, reconnect, and align with your purpose. Why your purpose doesn’t need to be dramatic - and how small daily actions can create meaning.

I can hardly believe I’m saying this… episode 400! When I recorded my very first show I had no idea where it would lead - or the beautiful community of dreamers and doers it would create. Thank you for being here, whether this is your first listen or your 400th. Today I’m reflecting on what truly lights me up and how it all connects to one mission: helping you design and live a life you love. I take you behind the scenes of Dream Life Coaching, where I witness women take bold, beautiful steps toward their dreams every single week. We talk Grow Book Club and the new Dream Business Book Club - turning ideas into action together - plus our Habit Club (because dreams become real through small, consistent daily actions). I also share why I created our intimate Dream Life Retreats, and the joy of building The Dream Life Store after losing my first business. It’s all part of a meaningful, aligned, deeply fulfilling life - not perfect, but true. ...and I finish with two gentle questions to guide your next step - because every big dream begins with one small move. Pop your headphones in and let’s celebrate what you’re already living… and the next courageous step you’ll take today. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Welcome back! Today I’m chatting with the wonderful Carlii Lyon - author of Courage to Be and a woman whose story is such a beautiful reminder that tiny, courageous steps create big lives.

We chat on what courage really looks like in everyday life, why confidence is a consequence of action (not more qualifications!), how to reframe the three thoughts that stop so many of us from sharing our voice, and the magic of talking to your future self.

Do you know what your true purpose is? Not your job title or the roles you play for others, but that deeper reason you’re here. In this episode, I explore why purpose matters so much - and how connecting with it can shift everything. I’ll never forget my own “3am moment,” lying awake years ago, restless and uncertain about my future. I asked my partner Paul, “What am I going to do with my life?” That night, I grabbed a pen and scribbled down what really mattered to me - and it changed everything. That little list became the foundation for building my dream life and, eventually, inspiring others to do the same. Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode: ✨ Why discovering your purpose is the key to clarity, joy, and resilience. ✨ How your values act as a compass pointing you toward what truly matters. ✨ Simple, small steps you can start taking today to live with more intention. You’ll also hear about a powerful upcoming workshop I’ll be running inside the Dream Life Coaching Program this October, where I’ll guide you through tools and exercises to uncover and live your purpose. Life is short - even if we’re lucky enough to live a long one. You deserve to spend yours with meaning and intention. So grab your journal, take a pause, and join me in this conversation. I promise you’ll walk away feeling inspired, with practical steps you can take right away toward living your purpose and creating a life you truly love. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Hi There! As I recorded this episode, coffee in hand and a candle flickering beside me, I reflected on something exciting: we have just one quarter left in 2025. That means there’s still time - time to reset, refocus and reimagine what’s possible so you can finish the year feeling proud and energised. In this episode I guide you through the exact process we use inside DL Coaching to plan a powerful final quarter. We start by moving from overwhelm to clarity with a big, beautiful brain dump - getting everything out of your head and onto paper. Then we use my favourite reflection tool - Stop, Start, Continue—to decide what really matters. From there, we choose your Top 3 priorities for Q4 and map them into monthly goals, weekly steps and simple daily actions - and we help you craft a supportive morning ritual and dial in the habits that underpin it all. It really is transformative. So if you’d love to do this with me live in September - step by step with worksheets and support - join DL Coaching here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/course. Listen in, take notes, and give yourself this gift of clarity. Your dream life is built one quarter at a time - let’s make Q4 your strongest yet.

Hi there! If you’ve been feeling more tired than usual - not just physically, but emotionally too - this week’s podcast episode is for you. I’m joined by someone I deeply admire and trust when it comes to health & wellbeing: my dear friend, Dr. Libby Weaver. She’s a leading nutritional biochemist, 11-time bestselling author, and one of the most empowering voices in women’s wellness. In this conversation, we dive into her latest book, Fix Iron First: The One Thing That Changes Everything. And yes, that title is as powerful as it sounds - because iron really can change everything. Far too many women are living their lives depleted, being told by doctors that their blood tests look “normal,” while deep down they know something isn’t right. Four key things you’ll take away from this episode: ✨ Why iron is central not just to your energy, but also to your mood, focus, sleep, and even motivation. ✨ The real signs of iron deficiency (beyond tiredness!) and how to recognise them. ✨ Why “normal” test results might not be enough – and how to advocate for yourself. ✨ Practical advice on boosting your iron levels naturally through diet and smart supplementation. Dr. Libby has such a gift for making complex science feel simple - and hopeful. This episode is soulful, practical, and potentially life-changing - especially if you’ve been struggling with low energy and want to get your zest for life back. So, grab a cup of tea or pop on your walking shoes, and join us for this important conversation. I have a feeling it just might change the way you think about your health. Let’s start fixing iron first, so you can feel amazing again. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.
