Kristina Karlsson says purpose turns challenges into stepping stones and energizes everyday moments.

ANECDOTE

The 3am Moment That Changed Everything

Kristina describes a 3am moment when she asked, “What am I going to do with my life?” and wrote a list.
That list seeded her global brand, book, and podcast.

ADVICE

Start By Writing Your Values

Reflect on what matters most and write your values in a journal.
Use values as a compass to point you toward purpose.

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. 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 💛
