Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

Hello & welcome back!This week I made a dream come true - and in todays podcast episode I talk through how.In particular I talk about the power of asking yourself 'WHAT IF?' They're two simple words, but when put together with a question mark, they become so powerful for you - and life changing. Like they have been for me. "WHAT IF?"WHAT IF you decided to change career? WHAT IF you decided to start a side hustle? WHAT IF you started exercising every day to feel better? WHAT IF you decided to be around like-minded people more often, who are chasing their dreams? WHAT IF you prioritised your health?WHAT IF you started saying no to things just to please other people? WHAT IF you decided you deserve more? It's the start of more questions that invite possibility, curiosity & growth into your life. Questions that can open you up to a whole new way of being.I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode – so please let me know either in the comments below or in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here.And please share it with anyone who you feel may benefit from it.

Hi There, Welcome back to another wonderful episode. I love real-life stories of transformation. Not that I don’t like a good Hollywood movie – but give me a real-life story any day. Particularly if it starts with dreaming, ends with dreams being achieved and contains relatable real-life struggles in between.And that’s what I’ve got for you in this episode.Join me in conversation with the wonderful Jane Treloar, and take a front row seat as she shares her heart-warming and inspiring story of personal transformation. From working in a job she describes as “draining and toxic” to now living a life she just loves. You’ll hear how losing a dear friend at a young age was a catalyst for her – but how it took some time to make a decision that “Enough was enough. It was time to chase her dreams.”Jane’s is a wonderful real-life story of personal transformation that we can all relate to - and highlights the value of working with a coach and being part of a supportive community.It’s so very normal for sports people to have coaches – and I’ve always been a fan of having a coach in things I want to get better at - but have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a coach to support you creating your Dream Life?This episode contains valuable insights into how with a little support, anyone can discover, chase, and achieve their dreams. Getting clear on their Values, Passions & Purpose and transforming in the process towards living their Dream Life, whatever that means to them.I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode – so please let me know either in the comments below or in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here.And please share it with anyone who you feel may benefit from it.

Welcome back to another episode!Today I’m really excited, because the day of recording this episode I’m making a dream come true! And in this episode, I want to share two stories to illustrate my experience of how & why some people create amazing outcomes for themselves and loved ones in life - making dreams come true - and others don’t.How and why some people say they’ll do something. And then do it. And how others say they’ll do something, but don’t get it done.You know them. The people who talk about changing careers, starting a new business, doing a side-hustle, running a half marathon (when they haven’t run 5km since high school!) or the person who has a health challenge and needs to come up with a solution after numerous doctors visit with no result for a solution. Then they do it. So what is the difference between the do-ers - and those who don’t follow through? And what can we learn to help us be a do-er?That’s what you’ll learn in this episode. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode – so please let me know either in the comments below or in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here.And please share it with anyone who you feel may benefit from it.

Hi there & welcome back!Four years ago, I wrote my first book, Your Dream Life Starts Here. It was my answer to the thousands of people who were regularly asking me “I’m inspired by your story, but where do I start if I want to live my best life too?”…and my reason for writing it was to inspire & empower as many people as I can to discover and chase their dreams. It’s a dream of mine to inspire 101 million people to write down three dreams on paper and go chase them.I’m so grateful that it’s now sold over 120,000 copies all over the world – and has inspired thousands and thousands of readers to make wonderful positive changes in their lives.Just the other day I bumped into David Lee-Schneider who told me he’d read my book and thanked me for the impact it’s had on his life. So, I invited him onto the podcast for you to hear his story… which contains some great learnings for us all!Listen in to this episode to learn:Why it’s so important to know that it’s possible for you to design & create the life of your dreams.Why the best place to start is to take time out to dream up how you want your future to look.How knowing what your highest values are will guide you to make great decisions in all areas of your life.How sometimes all you need is a little spark of inspiration from a book, a workshop or a trusted friend.How my book Your Dream Life Starts Here is a great place to start.The importance of travel.How supporting your children’s dreams can have a massive impact on their lives.How amazing it is to do what you love every day.How to turn a daily walk into a great learning opportunity.The amazing power of sharing your dreams with others.…and how important it is to listen to your heart. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode – so please let me know either in the comments below or in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here.And please share it with anyone who you feel may benefit from it.

Hi there and welcome back to another episode!I just got back from my morning run & walk – as you may know if you are listening to this podcast that I’m doing a 100 days of daily running challenge and today I did run 70! And I was thinking about how quickly 70 days goes and how easy it would have been not to run today - but realised clearly that it’s just all about showing up each day.There are days (in fact most days) where I don’t feel like running, but I just show up and I get it done. And that made me think about how time will pass anyway, so you may as well do the things you always wanted to do. And that prompted me to create this podcast covering what I know about how to change your life in one year.Do you ever get to the end of the year and wonder what you actually did and more importantly – what you achieved? And if you take one step further, did you achieve what you set out to achieve?Listen in to this episode to learn: How to avoid another year slipping by of doing just the same things.How to get clear on your long-term Dreams & Goals.How having a clear and compelling ‘WHY’ is crucial.How to ‘just start’ – and then keep momentum.Secrets for staying inspired.How to get the support you need – so you can achieve much more than you think.…and how my free live online workshop in October - Make 2023 Your Best Year Yet! Start now... - could be the best place to start. Learn more here. I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode – so please let me know either in the comments below or in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here.And please share it with anyone who you feel may benefit from it.

Hi there & welcome back to another episode.Today’s inspiring guest is someone whose book I stumbled across – and I’m so pleased I did.Titled The 12-Hour Walk, Collin O’Brady’s book captured my attention because I just love walking – and I’m so glad I bought and read it. It’s SO much more than a book about walking…Colin is a remarkable human. 10-time world record breaking explorer, New York Times Bestselling author and entrepreneur. A world-renowned expert on mindset, Colin has worked with the biggest brands and brightest minds including Nike, Google, Amazon, JP Morgan, Harvard and Yale.From overcoming a severe burn injury that left him nearly unable to walk, to becoming the first person to cross Antarctica solo (unsupported and fully human powered), rowing a boat across the treacherous Drake Passage, and summiting Mount Everest twice, Colin knows firsthand how to harness the power of the mind.…and he created The 12-Hour Walk to help others overcome limiting beliefs and cultivate a Possible Mindset – empowering people to step (literally!) into their best life.Most of us can walk regardless of level of fitness or any health-related issues. You can walk anywhere - and its free!Some of the things you'll learn in this episode:How The 12-Hour Walk came about and why you should consider doing it yourself.How taking the 12-Hour Walk can be a breakthrough challenge for you – a transformative one day journey to conquer your mind and unlock life’s limitless possibilities.The benefits of giving yourself time & space away from distractions.The many benefits of challenging your mind & will.…and much more!I hope you’ll be as excited about The 12 Hour Walk as I am! I’ll be doing it on the 10th September and I just can’t wait.Walking stimulates so many ideas for me and every time I go for a walk, I take notes. Sometimes on my phone, other times in a small notebook. Then on my return, I take a little time to use my Dream Life Walking Journal to record my experience, thoughts, and ideas – making it a beautiful ritual - which is what I encourage you to do too. Check out our Dream Life Walking Journal here …and keep it handy for when you come back from a walk, creating a beautiful walking & journaling ritual of your own.I can’t wait to hear what you think of this episode and would love to hear if you love walking too – so please let me know in our Dream Life Podcast Facebook group here or in the comments section below.Have a wonderful week!I’ll be back next week with another guest so be sure you’re subscribed to the podcast, so you don’t miss. Love,Dream Life Founder   SHOW NOTES:Purchase our beautiful new Dream Life Walking journal for yourself or as a thoughtful gift here…Buy The 12-Hour Walk book here...Learn more about The 12 Hour Walk here…Join the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here - and jump into discussions and learning with like-minded people.  RESOURCES:Buy my book Your Dream Life Starts Here.Take your first step to getting clarity on what you want from life with this free bonus dreaming exercise here 101 Dreams Audio Guide Learn more about my Habit Club here.Learn more about my Personal Growth / Book Club - GROW here.Help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeShop inspiring & meaningful products at The Dream Life Store here.Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on FacebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
