Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

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.  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 💛 Dream Big 💛 Kristina Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

This engaging discussion dives into a thought-provoking quote from Aristotle about criticism and living authentically. It highlights how criticism often reflects others' fears rather than your truth. The importance of aligning actions with personal values is emphasized, along with the necessity of protecting your energy from unhelpful feedback. The conversation inspires listeners to embrace imperfection and take small, brave steps toward their dreams, ultimately transforming criticism into a guiding compass for their journey.

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. She went from building other people’s brands behind the scenes to stepping into her own light as an author, speaker and coach. 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. If you’re ready to take one small step toward your big life, pop in your earbuds and join us.

Today I’m joined by the brilliant and very real Lisa Teh - author of Get Real: 30 Stories of Female Founders & Other Lessons in Business. Lisa doesn’t sugar-coat the entrepreneurial path; she shines a light on the wins, the wobblies and the in-between moments that shape us. We talk about her unconventional journey from tax law to Witchery’s marketing team, and how curiosity pulled her into building digital agencies in the early days of social media. It’s a reminder that your first chapter doesn’t define your future - that enthusiasm and initiative open surprising doors - and it could just be your inspiration to find a side hustle or business that's right for you. We also dive into selling with heart (start with vision and purpose), why embracing “failure” speeds your growth, and the power of simplifying your decisions so you can focus on what matters. Expect practical wisdom and plenty of energy - plus a fun side note: Lisa converted me to strawberry matcha!😂 If you’re ready to build momentum on your dream or business idea, pop in your earbuds and press play.
