034: Balance or Connection?
January 22, 2021 23:06 - 37 minutes - 70.3 MBIs the opposite of burnout, balance? Or is it connection? Maybe it's both.

020: Shifting Jenga Pieces
January 25, 2020 09:03 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBBe sure to "check in" with yourself to notice when your support system (aka: your Jenga tower) shifts. Shifts will happen. And if your entire Jenga tower falls down, you'll be okay. You will rebuild. I know because that's what happened to me. One of the things that really helped me heal during the worst of my trauma and grief was watching videos on YouTube: ASMR, sound bath, distant Reiki healing, and meditation videos.

December 31, 2019 23:41 - 1 hour - 112 MBLet's look back and pick up the jewels of hard-earned wisdom from the previous year and maybe, just maybe, identify a fatal flaw in us that stops us from either manifesting our dream or enjoying what we manifest.

011 - You Have To Change
April 30, 2019 07:57 - 37 minutes - 70.7 MBIf you do not change, you will not achieve your goal. The traits in you that got you to where you are right now will not be the same traits that will help you get to the next level. You MUST change. Are you holding on to the past? Are you sabotaging your dream and not even realizing it? What do you NOT want to do? Go TOWARDS the fear and discomfort. Your dream lives in the center of that fear.
010 - Your Dream vs. Reality
April 23, 2019 04:00 - 42 minutes - 79.3 MBThe reality of living your dream will be very different than the dream that was in your mind. But that's not a bad thing. The reality of the dream can be BETTER than the dreamed dream! Instead of getting discouraged when reality kicks your butt, go back to the "dream blueprint" and see what you can tweak so that your dream is more in alignment with what makes you come alive as it lives outside of your head.

009 - Your Dream Won't Make You Happy
March 26, 2019 09:08 - 17 minutes - 32.1 MBThe realization of your dream won't make you happy. Well, it will, for a day, week, or month. But it won't last forever. So you must prepare your mind for how you will feel when you reach your goals. Get ready for the "creative crash". Expect the drop off. And then get back out there. Formulate new dreams. Or let the original dream evolve. Continue to follow that feeling that is inside of you that makes you come alive! I HAVE DREAMS DAMMIT! Links: http://ihavedreamsdammit.com...

007 - Friends and Dreams
March 12, 2019 21:05 - 1 hour - 116 MBFriends & Family who support our dreams are like healthy soil. They encourage us, they support us, they are happy for us. They ask us how it's going. They support our posts on social media. They are genuinely happy for us because we are happy and that's what friendship should be all about. But what if they don't support us? What if we always have this weird feeling when we spend time with them? What if they NEVER ask us about our dream? What if they NEVER like any of our posts on social med...

February 19, 2019 13:30 - 15 minutes - 28.4 MBIf you don't listen to yourself all along the path for when you need a break, you will be headed for a burnout. I know because it happened to me. I now listen to myself when I need a break. It usually manifests as fatigue, body aches, and mental confusion/cloudiness. I'm in the middle of one of these phases right now but I didn't want to not talk to you this week so I just talked to you about what I'm experiencing! I hope you get something from today's show.

004 - Groundhog Day Redemption
February 12, 2019 13:05 - 20 minutes - 37.2 MBNo matter what it looks like or feels like, nothing is the same as long as we are alive. It may feel like Groundhog Day but we can change our circumstances at any moment, even if it's just a thought, actually, it all has to start with the thought. When we break out of just reacting to things and instead become aware of ourselves in THIS MOMENT, that is when we will embrace our true power. I HAVE DREAMS DAMMIT!

002 - Dreamer Scarification
January 28, 2019 09:08 - 31 minutes - 56.9 MBWe can view the obstacles we come up against on our Hero's Journey towards the manifestation of our dreams just like a seed that is banged around on rocks in the river. The banging around is necessary for the seed to lose its tough outer shell in order to germinate. This process with seeds is called "scarification". Another method of seed scarification is fire. The Sequoia tree requires fire to release the seeds from its cones and the opening of the canopy that the fire creates also helps ...
