Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson

It’s a very challenging time right now, and my heart goes out to the people in Ukraine - and all of you who are impacted in various ways by recent events.It’s so hard to hear the news and see how people are suffering, while trying to work out what we can do as individuals as well as continuing with the challenges in our own lives. I don’t have the answer, but I do know that my Podcast episode this week will help you build resilience while dealing with what is happening in the world - and being your best for yourself and others who depend on you.My guest is the amazing Hugh von Cuylenburg - founder and author of The Resilience Project - who has recently launched a new, very timely book called Let Go – It’s time for us to let go of shame, expectation, and our addiction to social media. Listen as Hugh goes deep in sharing his personal journey of how during the height of the Covid pandemic he realised he just wasn't coping well – and felt broken - at a time when he was trying to support thousands of others through his role as a ‘go to’ educator.Like millions of others around the world, Hugh was forced to reassess life as world events undermined our sense of safety, strangled our personal connections and saw levels of happiness plunge.His insights on letting go as a way of building personal resilience are particularly timely and relevant now given the situation we're watching unfold in the Ukraine.It’s such a wonderful conversation and timely. I hope you enjoy.Please let me know in my Podcast Facebook group what you will let go of, so we can all support each other.Dream Big!Love,Kristina SHOW NOTES:Let Go by Hugh Van Cuylenburg Stolen Focus by Johann Hari (the book Hugh referred to)Learn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here. Learn more about my Habit Club here.Join my Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers …and why not join the discussions with like-minded people about the podcast happening in my Facebook Podcast Community here RESOURCES:Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here book, by Kristina Karlsson: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Buy your Dream Life Journal: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on Facebook My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there and welcome to another episode! Things don’t always go to plan, right? Well, my plan to interview the inspiring Hugh Van Cuylenburg for this episode didn’t work out… however, instead I’ve decided to review his wonderful new book Let Go – and we’ll have Hugh as a guest on a future episode. So, have you ever had something eating you up inside with frustration, anger or hurt, and thought 'I need to let go of that!'? I sure have - which is why I'm really excited about the latest book I've been reading, Let Go by the inspiring Hugh Van Cuylenburg (founder of The Resilience Project). We're also reading it in GROW - my personal growth / book club - in March – and that is exciting! The dictionary defines 'letting go' as 'to stop thinking about or being angry about the past, or something that happened in the past' - and research shows there are many benefits for us when we let go.  ...so, there is a lot to be gained by letting go of things that cause us pain!   Hugh starts the book talking about things he needed to let go of - which he'd initially started to write down in a journal. Things including: Shame; Expectation; Perfection; Control; Fear of failure; Social media; and Ego. Maybe you can relate to needing to let go some of the above, along with pain from specific experiences you may have had. I hope you enjoy my review of Hugh’s wonderful book which combines powerful insights with research and his own candid and honest storytelling to show how it is possible to let go and rediscover joy.  And if you feel you'd like to read and discuss this great book with like-minded people, why not consider joining us in GROW for March where Hugh's book will be our focus. To find out more click here...  Dream Big! Love KSHOW NOTES:Let Go by Hugh Van Cuylenburg Learn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here. Learn more about my Habit Club here.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers …and why not join the discussions with like-minded people about the podcast happening in my Facebook Podcast Community here RESOURCES:Download a review of Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here book, by Kristina Karlsson: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Buy your Dream Life Journal: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on Facebook My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hi there and welcome to another episode! Oh my, I got so much great feedback from the last episode with the incredible Dr James Rouse – so you haven’t listened to that yet, make sure you do. It’s so good and he is just such a special human. So so inspiring.  Following that, today is a short episode where I talk about the importance of getting our thinking right – inspired by the book written by Dr James and his partner Dr Debra Rouse – Think Eat Move Thrive.We’re currently reading it in GROW – my online personal growth/book club – and last week in our weekly GROW catchup on Zoom we read and talked through the THINK part of their book. I’ve done a lot of work on my own thinking – particularly after all the negative experiences of the last two years – and my experience has reinforced yet again that when we change our thinking, we change our lives.I hope this episode inspires you think about how you think, and to contemplate working on your thinking as a way of enhancing your experience of life.I do hope you enjoy the episode, and if you do share it with your friends.Dream Big!Love KSHOW NOTES:Think Eat Move Thrive by Dr James Rouse & Dr Debra RouseLearn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here. Learn more about my Habit Club here.If you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …and if you’re new to my podcast, and are looking for a world of inspiration, be sure to check out my previous episodes of Your Dream Life podcast.…please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers …and why not join the discussions with like-minded people about the podcast happening in my Facebook Podcast Community here RESOURCES:Download Kristina’s Top 10 Favourite books of all timeBuy Your Dream Life Starts Here book, by Kristina Karlsson: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Buy your Dream Life Journal: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on Facebook My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I loved chatting with Dr James Rouse for this episode – and I think you’ll love having a front row seat on our conversation.I’ve known James for years and enjoy every chance I’ve had to catchup with him around the world over the years. We’re both big optimists and both of us want to change the world for the better.As a child growing up ‘without much light’ he dreamed about a life that would have him belonging to something bigger, rather than just trying to fit in.I love how he talks about ‘belonging’ being a super-power of the future and the insights he gives on growing up in a challenging situation and making the most of it as he grew and found his own way in life are wonderful.Dr. James is a highly authentic, energized, and purpose-driven leader - a naturopathic doctor, entrepreneur,athlete, husband, father and author.In fact, in my personal growth / book club GROW we’re reading and learning this month from his book Think Eat Move Thrive. A fantastic book to help us all feel better and find lifelong wellness.Dr. James has personal, clinical and professional understanding of what it takes to create and sustain a life we love and dream of and his enthusiasm for helping us all realize our potential is contagious.Enjoy this wonderful episode!SHOW NOTES:Think Eat Move Thrive by Dr James RouseLearn more about my Habit Club here.Learn more about my Personal Growth Club - GROW here. Here is the new Dream Life planning bundle...Plan Your Year Bundle downloadable PDFContains my Review Your Year booklet plus 19 of my other annual planning tools (…over 60 pages)https://www.thedreamlifestore.com/collections/planning/products/plan-your-year-bundle-downloadable-pdfsIf you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …and if you’re new to my podcast, and are looking for a world of inspiration, be sure to check out my previous episodes of Your Dream Life podcast.…please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers …and why not join the discussions with like-minded people about the podcast happening in my Facebook Podcast Community here RESOURCES:Download Kristina’s FREE 66 Habit Ideas You Can Start TodayJoin Kristina’s 66-Day Habit Challenge Club here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/Buy Your Dream Life Starts Here book, by Kristina Karlsson: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Buy your Dream Life Journal: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on Facebook My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy first week of February! I love February because it's the month that I look at my habits and add some new healthy ones and remove the ones that are no longer serving me. Most of us enjoy the festive season and some of us take some time off which often means indulging in food and drinks a bit more than normal. And that's the fun part of life. One of my Dreams is to be healthier and fitter each birthday so every birthday I reflect and plan for the year ahead to become healthier. Some of you may be doing FEB FAST and some of you may be needing some inspiration to get started. I have a very inspiring guest on my podcast today, The Healthy Chef Teresa Cutter. Teresa's main goal at The Healthy Chef is to get people cooking and eating healthier. Eating natural foods, focussing on fresh fruits and vegetables, and just keeping it simple. I love that goal and it's a perfect time to listen to this episode to get inspired to become the healthiest version of you as part of making 2022 your best year EVER! ENJOY!    SHOW NOTES:The Healthy Chef website - https://thehealthychef.comLearn more about our February ‘Think, Eat, Move, Thrive’ theme in my Personal Growth Club - GROW here. Here is the new Dream Life planning bundle...Plan Your Year Bundle downloadable PDFContains my Review Your Year booklet plus 19 of my other annual planning tools (…over 60 pages)https://www.thedreamlifestore.com/collections/planning/products/plan-your-year-bundle-downloadable-pdfsIf you love this episode, don’t forget to subscribe for more inspiration – and please tell us what you thought by leaving us a review! …and if you’re new to my podcast, and are looking for a world of inspiration, be sure to check out my previous episodes of Your Dream Life podcast.…please help up spread this inspiring message to even more people by sharing our podcast on social media with the hashtag #101milliondreamers …and why not join the discussions with like-minded people about the podcast happening in my Facebook Podcast Community here RESOURCES:Download Kristina’s FREE 66 Habit Ideas You Can Start TodayJoin Kristina’s 66-Day Habit Challenge Club here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/Buy Your Dream Life Starts Here book, by Kristina Karlsson: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Buy your Dream Life Journal: https://www.kikki-k.com/au/shop-by/collection/dream-life/Follow Kristina on Instagram Follow Kristina on Facebook My dream is to inspire and empower 101 million people around the world, just like you, to write down three dreams, and go chase them!

Welcome to what is nearly the end of January!I know a lot of people take a long break in January - which is so nice - and it often means that we don't get started on our dreams and goals until now. So today is a perfect time to get started! I love February and my focus for February is always health. One of my dreams is to be fitter and healthier every birthday ...and my birthday is in February, so it’s a great time for me to check-in and see where my focus needs to go when it comes to all things wellness in the next 12 months, until my next birthday.So, in case it's helpful, I thought I'd share some tips in this episode to get you started.I'd love you to book in an hour for yourself before February starts (yes, go on... put it in your diary now. You are worth it!), and ask yourself the following questions – which I expand on in the episode.Enjoy! 1. Am I clear on my top 3 dreams & goals for this year? If you're not, take some time to work out how and when you will be clear. It's really important to know what you want so you know where to put your focus.   2. What habits do I need to put in place to support my dreams & goals for this year? It's one thing to be clear on our dreams & goals but having a system for taking action is probably more important.I feel so passionate about habits that I created a Habit Club, in which we all support each other and help each other be accountable. Click here if you want to find out more about it and join.   3. What do I need to do this year to get my health to where I want it and have energy to tackle my dreams & goals for this year? I think we all know what we need to do (eat better, quality sleep, move daily, drink less - it’s pretty simple), but not easy. So take some time to work out what you need to do for your health and just start with something that will move you towards it. You've got 11 months ahead of you to focus on it. Take small steps. 4. I want you to imagine it's New Years eve 2022 and write yourself a letter in the present tense as if it is really NYE 2022...Write all the great things you did this year what dreams & goals you worked on and made happen. Then read the letter daily to remind you of what you really want to make happen this year.  5. Last but not least, and so important! Surround yourself with like-minded people! There is nothing more draining than being around negative people and dream killers! To make your dreams and goals happen takes hard work, and it helps so much if you are around inspiring like-minded people.  If you join my Dream Life guided digital course - which starts next week - we have the most inspiring community to support you. For more information or to enrol in my Digital Dream Life Course now, click here.
