In this episode, Peggy Meyer shares a powerful mindset shift: your dream life isn’t something in the distant future — it’s already here, hidden in the good that’s working in your life today.

You’ll learn how to recognize the “wins” already happening in your life, build on them intentionally, and make the good even better.

1. Identify What’s Working: Write down your wins — big or small — in every area of life.

2. Practice Gratitude Daily: Focus on what you already have to attract more of it.

3. Choose One Area to Grow: Take one part of your life that’s already going well and make it even better.

“Your dream life isn’t a faraway destination — it’s something you’re already living. To make a dream life, make the good better.” – Peggy Meyer

In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer breaks down Maybe It’s You by Lauren Handel Zander — a no-nonsense, deep-dive workbook designed to help you face the truth about what’s really holding you back.

Through the Handel Method, Zander guides readers to uncover the thoughts, beliefs, and emotional patterns that shape their lives — often unconsciously. Peggy walks through the book’s key concepts, including:

• Designing your dream life in 12 core areas

• Identifying your inner saboteurs — the Weather Reporter, Chicken, Brat, Hide & Sneak, PR Agent, and Double Agent

• Understanding how theories become limiting beliefs

• Building personal integrity by keeping promises to yourself

• Facing your “dirty laundry” — past experiences, family patterns, and emotional hauntings that keep you stuck

This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation starts within. By getting honest with yourself, breaking your excuses, and keeping promises, you can rewrite your life story and finally live the dream you were meant to.

Key Takeaways:

• Awareness is the first step to change — you can’t fix what you won’t face.

• Your excuses protect your comfort zone, not your dreams.

• Integrity = keeping promises to yourself.

• Healing requires confronting your past, not avoiding it.

• True freedom comes when you take full responsibility for your life.

Zander’s message is simple yet profound:

“You are the common denominator in your life. The good news? You have the power to change it.”

In this episode of Positive Solutions 4 Life, Peggy Meyer explores a transformative idea from Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Blake Erickson’s book Time Is a Tool. What if time isn’t something that happens to you — but something you can use for you?

You’ll learn how to stop living life on repeat, break free from the habits of your past, and begin operating from your future self — today. Peggy walks through key insights from the book, including how to:

• Shift your mindset from working toward your goals to living from them now

• Understand “slow time” vs. “fast time” and why not all time is created equal

• Recognize how “time promotes or exposes you” through your daily choices

• Harness the power of deadlines for clarity and momentum

• Duplicate your time to multiply your impact

• Reframe your past as a tool for growth, not limitation

Peggy also shares practical reflection questions and challenges to help you live a more intentional, purpose-driven life where time becomes your ally, not your enemy.

1. Operate from your goal — Be your future self now.

2. Set bold deadlines — Deadlines create focus and urgency.

3. Duplicate your time — Leverage systems, people, and learning.

4. Reframe your past — Let it refine, not define, you.

5. Remember: Time will either promote you or expose you.

• What would your future self do right now?

• How much of your life is lived in deep time vs. shallow time?

• What’s one small decision today that will promote your future self?

Take one action this week your future self will thank you for.

Maybe it’s having that hard conversation, setting a bold deadline, or finally letting go of something that no longer serves you. Time isn’t waiting — it’s shaping who you become. Use it as a tool, and start living from your future now.
