Hello & welcome back! If you’re a frequent listener to my podcast, you know that I’m all for inspiring you to live your dream life – whatever that means for you. It’s different for all of us – with one exception. To live our dream lives, we all need health and wellbeing. Wellness. But how do you start a journey to glowing, sustained wellness? There are so many things that you can do - so many tips and so much advice out there - but I believe that the best place to start is with self-awareness. Exploring where you’re at- and taking small steps to explore key aspects of your own wellness - and what works for you. Because wellness is unique to everyone. So, I'm really excited to share that we’ve created a wonderful Wellness Journal that will guide you gently on that exploration - over a 10-week period of simple daily journaling. Nudging you to find what works for you. And in today's episode, I'm going to share insights into how to start your journey to vibrant wellness - so you can create your dream life. Listen in to learn: How wellness plays a crucial role in creating and sustaining your dream life - providing the energy and foundation needed. The significance of beginning your wellness journey with self-awareness - and taking small, meaningful steps to explore key aspects of your wellbeing. How journaling can guide you through daily reflections, weekly and monthly check-ins, and intentional actions in areas like mindfulness, sleep, exercise, nutrition, and more. The importance of focussing on seven pillars of wellness; mindfulness, sleep, meaningful relationships, nutrition, exercise, self-care, and future dreaming. The importance of progress rather than perfection. …and much more.    You’re going to love the insights in this episode - and when you finish listening, I want you to ask yourself, what is one action that you can take today to improve your wellness so you can move closer to creating your dream life? As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you – and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Hello & welcome back! Do you ever find yourself hoping that someday, life will be less hectic?!  ‘One day’, you say, you'll ‘finally have time for the activities that you love’. Writing that book, more time for you, chasing your dreams, traveling with friends…  But life is unpredictable – and full - and if we're not careful, dull, unfulfilling tasks can quickly occupy our precious hours, derail our best-laid plans, and make life feel like a slog.In her latest book Tranquility by Tuesday, my podcast guest Laura Vanderkam explains that if you want something to happen, you need to design your life to make it happen – and you’re going to love taking a front row seat on this inspiring conversation as we talk through how to do just that. Laura is a world leading expert in time management & productivity, and her practical ideas will inspire and challenge your thinking in equal measure. Key Takeaways: (1) Being Intentional About Time Management is Essential for You: Laura emphasizes the importance of intentional time management in creating a fulfilling life and spending time on what matters. (2) You Need a Weekly Planning Practice for Success: Implementing a weekly planning practice is a high-impact strategy for you. This practice involves dedicating around 20-30 minutes on Fridays to plan the upcoming week, identifying important professional & personal tasks, and allocating time for them in your diary. (3) Your Mindset Shapes Your Productivity: Cultivating a positive mindset is key to productivity – and getting time to spend on what matters - and it takes focus. Starting the day intentionally will foster a productive mindset, setting you up you to tackle tasks and interactions with enthusiasm and joy. (4) Embrace Your Passions and Prioritize Them: Finding and pursuing your passion enhances time management. Integrating activities that bring joy and align with personal interests into daily routines creates a sense of purpose and fulfillment. (5) Outsourcing and Delegation for Efficiency: Delegating tasks that don't align with your strengths or passions is crucial for time optimization (and your own joy!).   You’ll going to love the insights in this episode - and when you finish listening, I want you to ask yourself, what is one action that you can take today to improve how you use time so you can move closer to creating your dream life? As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you – and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Hello and welcome back! If you listened to my episode last week, I shared how amazing it is to go on retreats and the many benefits. It's very much part of my life and there are a few ways of doing it, so listen here to the last episode if you haven’t already. And in this episode, I’ve gathered the three amazing humans that I'm running a Fiji retreat with at the end of October 2023. It’ll give you deeper insights into the benefits of incorporating retreats into your dream life – whether or not you’re able to make it to this one (…btw we will likely run some closer to home too). For anyone thinking of coming to Fiji with us (or dreaming of coming to a future retreat) we’ll talk about the things we’ll cover – to give you a sense of what a retreat can be like - and give you a chance to get to know the hosts a bit. I am AS excited to attend this retreat with these amazing humans, as much as I am co-delivering it. I love learning and I love to implement what I learn. And I love spending time with like-minded people …and it’s a plus that this is in the beautiful tropical location of Fiji. There are only 16 spots left at the time of recording this episode so if you are interested in joining us learn more here… and if you have questions please don’t hesitate to email us at info@yourdreamlifestartshere.com and we can book in a call. Whether it's a dreamy tropical group getaway like our upcoming Fiji retreat - or a solo reflective journey close to home - retreats offer profound benefits. Delve deeper into the world of retreats with me on this week's podcast and learn how they can transform your life.

Hi & Welcome Back!In this week's podcast episode, I'm thrilled to share something truly soul-nourishing and inspiring: the concept of retreats. Over my 25 years of attending various retreats, I've come to realise that they aren't solely about group settings or lots of people. Retreats can take various forms, even for introverts like me. Listen in here as I explore how to embark on a retreat that suits your style.I regularly go on retreat on my own. Booking an inspiring place close to home to stay and soaking up being alone for a short period of time. And I get so many amazing ideas when I do. On one retreat years ago I developed the idea for Dream Life. And here we are!Right now I'm in the middle of planning a group retreat alongside three incredible women, taking a group to the tropical paradise of beautiful Fiji for a Dreaming, Brand & Design Mastermind experience. Centred around inspiring and then planning for brand or personal brand reinvention. A theme fitting for our rapidly evolving world.I've learned that dreams can come to life sooner than expected when shared and pursued - and with the right support crew around - and group retreats like the one we're planning can be amazing for kick-starting that. ...and I've found that combining some solitude with workshops and learning experiences can be life-changing. Life's busy pace often leads us to not have time to focus on ourselves and the important stuff. Even vacations can be hectic. So, maybe it's time to consider a retreat? Whether it's a dreamy tropical group getaway like our upcoming Fiji retreat - or a solo reflective journey close to home - retreats offer profound benefits. Delve into the world of retreats with me on this week's podcast and learn how they can transform your life.As you contemplate crafting your own retreat or joining one, remember that each year offers a chance to reinvent yourself. Stay inspired and Dream Big!KSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there and welcome back to another episode. I’m currently working from Sweden - which is my home country - and every day I go for a walk and share an insight on my Instagram stories (if you want to check it out my insta handle is @kristinadreamlifeOn todays walk I was thinking a lot about how mentors had such an impact on my life so I wanted to share the power of mentors with you today.I think all of us should have and use mentors. There are a lot of different ways of using mentors & there is of course no right or wrong way. I just want to share from my own experience - which I believe you will find powerful.Having mentors in your life is a game changer as you learn from others success and failures - and you learn things and make progress so much faster. Enjoy!Love, KKSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there and welcome back!I'm currently living one of my dreams, and that is I am based in Sweden over the Swedish summer, which is simply amazing. I get to see my family and friends.The reason for sharing that, is that today I want to talk about ‘what to do when you don't know what to do’.Embarking on the journey towards your dream life - whatever that is for you - can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. There are countless possibilities and so many things that we can do, so it's no wonder that many people find themselves unsure of where to begin.In fact, this week we ran a quiz – aimed at helping people understand if they’re on track to living their dream life – and out of nearly 300 respondents the vast majority, 78%, scored low in the "Clear on Where to Start?" category.It confirms my experience, that many people feel uncertain or lack clarity when it comes to taking the first steps towards what they would consider 'their dream life'.I've been there myself - I know how that feels - and I'm excited because I know that I can help by sharing my own experience and knowledge with people.So, listen in and I’ll share where to start…Dream Big! SHOW NOTES:Take the Quiz here… "Discover How On Track You Are to Living Your Dream Life" and uncover valuable insights into where you're at and how your own path forward can look.Join my virtual book club GROW. Learn more here…Want to transform your life with help from me?
