Welcome back to Your Dream Life Podcast! I’m genuinely so happy you’re here because the fact that you are tells me something powerful - that deep down, you know you’re meant for more. You’re not content to drift through life on autopilot. You want to live by design - your design. And that means you are in the right place 💛 In today’s episode, I’m sharing a truth that changed my life forever: If you want to live your dream life, it will cost you your old one. That might sound a little confronting, but it’s actually liberating - because it’s not about loss; it’s about growth. Living your dream life means releasing the old patterns, fears and habits that once kept you safe, so you can step into the version of you who’s ready for something extraordinary. We explore: The mindset shifts that help you move from comfort to courage Why letting go of the old you is the greatest act of self-love Practical journaling prompts to start building your 2026 dream life now How to take small, simple steps today that create big, lasting change And I’ll share some personal insights and tools from my Dream Life Coaching Program - especially as we move into mindset month this November. So, if you’ve been feeling ready for your next chapter but not sure where to begin - this episode is your gentle nudge forward. You deserve a life filled with freedom, joy, and purpose. So grab your journal, get comfy, and let’s start creating it - together. 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 week …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛 Kristina x Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

Can you believe 2026 is just around the corner? Today I’m diving into the one thing that changes everything: mindset. From building my dream life through all the highs and lows - even the reinventions - one truth keeps showing up: the life you’re living 12 months from now will mirror the thoughts you choose and the beliefs you practice daily. You’re in the driver’s seat. No permission slips required. In this bite-sized, practical episode, I share three simple shifts you can start today: Begin with gratitude: write three things you’re grateful for each morning to open your heart to abundance. Catch your self-talk: when you hear “I can’t” or “I’m not ready,” pause and reframe - “I’m learning. I’m proud I showed up. Progress over perfection.” Visualise your best self: it’s December 2026… you’ve honoured your goals, upgraded habits, and you feel proud, aligned and joyful. Borrow that version’s beliefs today. If you’d love guidance and a likeminded community, join me inside Dream Life Coaching - we’re running a special Mindset Workshop in November to set you up for an incredible 2026, then December is for dreaming big and January for planning it all out.

Today I’m thrilled to introduce you to a truly inspiring woman - Jacinta Duffy, founder of Life Shared. After two decades across nursing, healthcare and aged care - and supporting her own parents - Jacinta saw the human cost of loneliness and the pressure on families. So she set out to reimagine care and connection through intergenerational home-share.  In our conversation we explore the sliding-door moments that shape a dream life - redundancies, pivots, and the courage to “shine your light” even when media or public speaking feels uncomfortable. We also talk about the power of doing the work - daily rituals, weekly reflections, and stacking quarters of progress - something our Dream Life Coaching community knows well. Three takeaways you’ll love: Mindset shift: Why setbacks can be setups for comebacks - and how to keep walking through hard seasons. Rituals that work: The simple planning + reflection cadence (daily/weekly/quarterly) that fuels momentum. Start before you’re ready: The gentle nudge to share your message, say yes to media, and connect with the right people. Pop in your earbuds and enjoy this heart-opening, practical episode. It might just spark the match you’ve been waiting for 💛 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.     Dream Big 💛 Kristina Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

I can hardly believe I’m saying this… episode 400! When I recorded my very first show I had no idea where it would lead - or the beautiful community of dreamers and doers it would create. Thank you for being here, whether this is your first listen or your 400th. Today I’m reflecting on what truly lights me up and how it all connects to one mission: helping you design and live a life you love. I take you behind the scenes of Dream Life Coaching, where I witness women take bold, beautiful steps toward their dreams every single week. We talk Grow Book Club and the new Dream Business Book Club - turning ideas into action together - plus our Habit Club (because dreams become real through small, consistent daily actions). I also share why I created our intimate Dream Life Retreats, and the joy of building The Dream Life Store after losing my first business. It’s all part of a meaningful, aligned, deeply fulfilling life - not perfect, but true. ...and I finish with two gentle questions to guide your next step - because every big dream begins with one small move. Pop your headphones in and let’s celebrate what you’re already living… and the next courageous step you’ll take today. 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 💛 Dream Big 💛 Kristina Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

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

Welcome back! Today I’m chatting with the wonderful Carlii Lyon - author of Courage to Be and a woman whose story is such a beautiful reminder that tiny, courageous steps create big lives. She went from building other people’s brands behind the scenes to stepping into her own light as an author, speaker and coach. We chat on what courage really looks like in everyday life, why confidence is a consequence of action (not more qualifications!), how to reframe the three thoughts that stop so many of us from sharing our voice, and the magic of talking to your future self.

Do you know what your true purpose is? Not your job title or the roles you play for others, but that deeper reason you’re here. In this episode, I explore why purpose matters so much - and how connecting with it can shift everything. I’ll never forget my own “3am moment,” lying awake years ago, restless and uncertain about my future. I asked my partner Paul, “What am I going to do with my life?”  That night, I grabbed a pen and scribbled down what really mattered to me - and it changed everything. That little list became the foundation for building my dream life and, eventually, inspiring others to do the same. Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode: ✨ Why discovering your purpose is the key to clarity, joy, and resilience.✨ How your values act as a compass pointing you toward what truly matters.✨ Simple, small steps you can start taking today to live with more intention. You’ll also hear about a powerful upcoming workshop I’ll be running inside the Dream Life Coaching Program this October, where I’ll guide you through tools and exercises to uncover and live your purpose. Life is short - even if we’re lucky enough to live a long one. You deserve to spend yours with meaning and intention. So grab your journal, take a pause, and join me in this conversation.

Today I’m joined by the brilliant and very real Lisa Teh - author of Get Real: 30 Stories of Female Founders & Other Lessons in Business. Lisa doesn’t sugar-coat the entrepreneurial path; she shines a light on the wins, the wobblies and the in-between moments that shape us. We talk about her unconventional journey from tax law to Witchery’s marketing team, and how curiosity pulled her into building digital agencies in the early days of social media. It’s a reminder that your first chapter doesn’t define your future - that enthusiasm and initiative open surprising doors - and it could just be your inspiration to find a side hustle or business that's right for you. We also dive into selling with heart (start with vision and purpose), why embracing “failure” speeds your growth, and the power of simplifying your decisions so you can focus on what matters. Expect practical wisdom and plenty of energy - plus a fun side note: Lisa converted me to strawberry matcha!😂 If you’re ready to build momentum on your dream or business idea, pop in your earbuds and press play. And if you want hands-on support, a wonderful learning community and accountability, explore our new Dream Business Book Club here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/businessbookclub - I’d love to help super-charge your effort and cheer you on.

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week... Today, we explore Howard Thurman’s powerful call to action - a quote that ignites something within us and encourages a different way to live: “Don’t ask what the world needs.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about purpose - how it quietly shapes the way we show up and how deeply it affects our sense of fulfilment. We often chase productivity, balance, or the “next” milestone… but without purpose, those wins can feel strangely hollow. In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple, practical way to reconnect with what matters and start living more on purpose - right where you are. Purpose isn’t a lightning bolt you wait for; it’s something you create through small, aligned choices. Listen in and I’ll walk you through three gentle, powerful steps: noticing what lights you up, aligning your daily actions with your values, and beginning exactly where you are - without waiting for perfect timing.  It'll give you clarity, energy, and a brave nudge forward. If this resonates, you’ll love diving deeper with me inside DL Coaching - our next monthly theme is Living Your Purpose.

Today’s episode is a beautiful reminder that creating a life you love doesn’t need to be overwhelming. I’m joined by the inspiring Cooper Chapman - former pro surfer and founder of The Good Human Factory - to dive into the simple daily practices behind his new book, The 1% Good Club, out October 1st, 2025. Cooper’s philosophy is delightfully doable: give just 1% of your day (14 minutes) to your mental health and watch small, consistent actions compound into a happier, more resilient life. We talk about how he shifted from chasing external validation as an athlete to living by personal values; the origin of his 1% Good Club community; and ten science-backed habits that anchor his wellbeing - from breathwork and gratitude to getting into nature, moving your body, and setting kinder phone boundaries. You’ll hear real stories, practical exercises you can try today, and a gentle nudge to focus on progress, not perfection. Four takeaways you’ll love:• Why tiny, repeatable actions beat big, unsustainable goals.• A 14-minute daily rhythm (meditation + gratitude) to reset your nervous system.• Five foundational values for steadier self-worth: responsibility, gratitude, empathy, mindfulness, and kindness.• A realistic way to track habits weekly so you can see your progress at a glance. Pop in your earbuds for a walk, or make a cup of tea, and let this conversation brighten your day. When you’re ready to go deeper, explore our DL Coaching at https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/course - I’d love to support you to weave these small shifts into your own dream life. Enjoy!
