Have you ever let your birthday slip by as just another regular workday?

Maybe you’ve been too busy with responsibilities, planning celebrations for others, or simply haven’t thought about taking the day for yourself.

Well, in this episode, I’m here to encourage you to change that!

Your birthday isn’t just another day—it’s a milestone, a reminder of the beautiful journey you’re on. It’s a day to pause, reflect, and celebrate YOU.

I truly believe that taking your birthday off is one of the most powerful acts of self-love and joy you can give yourself. And it doesn’t have to be extravagant.

Whether it’s a quiet day with a journal and a coffee, a nature walk, a spa experience, or a day of pure adventure, the key is making it special in a way that fills your heart.

In this episode, I’ll share:
✨ Why taking your birthday off is an act of self-care and self-celebration
✨ Dreamy ideas for making your birthday truly magical
✨ The power of reflection and setting new intentions on your special day
✨ How to make this a tradition that brings joy for years to come

So, let this be your sign—next time your birthday rolls around, plan to take the day off. You deserve it! 💛

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 💛

Hi there!

I’m beyond thrilled to introduce you to someone who left me absolutely speechless after our first conversation—Tim Conolan, the founder of TLC for Kids.

Tim’s story is one of heart, hope, and humanity. I met him at a mutual friend’s podcast, and after what was supposed to be a quick chat turned into hours of deep, inspiring conversation, I knew I had to share his extraordinary journey with you.

Tim co-founded TLC for Kids with his partner Anna Darras, and what they’ve built is nothing short of remarkable.

Their nonprofit supports sick children and their families during the most critical times, providing not just practical help but emotional comfort that often means the world to those in need.

Tim’s passion is contagious, and I promise you’ll walk away feeling inspired, grateful, and ready to make a small change that could mean the world to someone else. 🎧💛

So, let’s dive into this truly life-affirming conversation.

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 💛

Hi there 💛

Have you ever thought about what life could look like without alcohol?

For decades, we’ve been sold the idea that alcohol is a reward—something we use to celebrate, relax, and unwind. But what if removing it could actually make us feel more energized, optimistic, and alive?

In this episode, I sit down with the inspiring Sarah Rusbatch, a Gray Area Drinking and Sobriety Coach and author of Beyond Booze: How to Create a Life You Love Alcohol-Free.

Sarah shares her powerful journey of quitting alcohol and how doing so unlocked an entirely new, fulfilling life.

If you've ever felt stuck in the cycle of drinking without realizing its full impact, this episode is for you.

Here’s what you’ll discover in our conversation:

1. What “gray area drinking” really means and how to recognize if you’re in it.
2. Practical tips to help you take a break from alcohol and explore a different way of living.
3. How alcohol affects sleep, hormones, and overall well-being—especially for women in midlife.
4. The incredible opportunities that open up when you remove alcohol from your life.

If you're curious about making a change or simply want to explore what life beyond booze could feel like, tune in for this inspiring discussion.

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 💛
