This week has been a big one for me. I’ve just come home from delivering one of the most challenging keynotes of my life. I spoke in front of 1,500 event organisers from around the world. It stretched me. It scared me. And it reminded me of something so important that I want to share with you today. You do not start with 1,500 people. You start small. That's how every dream begins. In this episode, I want to talk to you about clarity. Because what I see again and again is not a lack of courage. It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of ambition. It’s overwhelm. We want to do so many things that we end up doing ...less than that. So today, I’m asking you a powerful question: If nothing changed between now and the end of 2026, would you feel proud… or slightly disappointed? In this episode, I share: Why clarity is more powerful than motivation The three reasons clarity changes everything How to stop drifting and start deciding If you are successful but restless… juggling everything but not lit up… or simply ready to move the needle in your life, this episode is for you. Your dream life does not happen by accident. It starts with getting clear. Let’s dive in. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.     …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛 Kristina Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

I'm so excited to share today’s episode with you, because this conversation really stayed with me long after we stopped recording. Today, I'm joined by James Laughlin, author of Habits of High Performers, and we dive deep into something that quietly shapes every part of our lives: our habits. Not the big dramatic ones, but the small daily choices that, over time, determine how we live, work and feel. What I love about James’ approach is that high performance is not about doing more. It is about doing what truly matters, consistently and with intention, while still protecting your wellbeing, relationships and sense of purpose. T This conversation felt so aligned with everything I believe in and teach, especially inside our GROW Personal Growth Book Club and DL Coaching programs. In this episode, we explore: Why getting radically clear on what you want is the foundation for everything else How your belief systems quietly shape your decisions, confidence and results The role of purpose in creating sustainable motivation and fulfilment We also talk about journaling, priorities, boundaries, and how to stay focused in a world full of distractions. It's a grounded, honest and inspiring conversation that gently invites you to reflect on your own habits and ask whether they are truly supporting the life you want to create. Listen with an open heart, a notebook nearby if you can, and a willingness to reflect. Sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest change.

In today’s episode, I share something very simple, but incredibly powerful. You do not need ten new habits. You do not need a perfect routine. And you definitely do not need to overhaul your whole life. What you really need is just one meaningful habit. One habit that truly supports the life you want to live.

If you have ever found yourself saying, "next year will be different", then this episode is for you. Today I want to talk about how to make 2026 your best year yet. Not a busy year. Not a year where you tick lots of boxes but still feel unfulfilled. I am talking about a deeply meaningful year. A year where you stop waiting, choose yourself, and finally begin creating the life you have been quietly dreaming about. Over the years, through dreaming, doing, failing, rebuilding and starting again, I've learnt one powerful truth. Your best year does not just happen. You create it. And you create it with clarity, intention and small, consistent steps forward. In this episode, I guide you through the most important foundational work that so many people skip.  The work that changes everything. So, if you want 2026 to be the year you stop waiting and start creating, this episode will gently guide you there. Grab a cup of tea, take a breath with me, and let this be the moment everything begins to shift. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.     …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛 Kristina Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

Today I’m sharing one of my favourite end-of-year practices - choosing a word of the year for next year. It sounds so simple, but truly… one word can become your anchor. It can guide the way you plan, the habits you build, and the decisions you say yes (or no) to in 2026. And because life gets busy (and sometimes a little noisy), I love having something I can come back to - a word that gently brings me home to what matters. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to choose your own word, how to use it, and why it’s such a supportive gift you can give yourself as you step into a new year. Here are three takeaways you can expect: Why your word matters (and how it becomes your “lens” for the year ahead). The simple questions that make your word rise up clearly - without pressure. How to use your word as a filter for planning, prioritising, and decision-making. And if you want extra support, here's a link to a free printable PDF with 100 words you can choose from.

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week...

Three key takeaways you can expect: How to finish your year with reflection -> so you can carry the wisdom forward (not just the to-do list). How to release what no longer serves you -> to create real space for what you want next. How to take one tiny, encouraging step -> that builds momentum into your dream life.

Today’s episode is a very special one. I'm chatting with someone whose work has deeply influenced me - and our Dream Life community - over the years… the incredible John Soforic, author of The Wealthy Gardener and now The Five-Year Crusade: The Easy Way to Achieve Your Impossible Goals. If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know just how much I love The Wealthy Gardener. So when John released this new book, I was beyond excited - and couldn’t wait to bring him back on the podcast to unpack it all with you. We talk about everything from dreaming big and structuring your life for success, to simplifying and slowing down in the pursuit of a more meaningful, purposeful life. And what I love about John’s approach is how grounded and practical it is. No fluff - just real wisdom that you can apply daily. So go grab a coffee or a cup of tea, settle in, and be prepared to rethink what’s possible for you in the next five years of your life. ...and we're reading Johns new book in my book club GROW this January.
