Description

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 this powerful quote about not being able to change the beginning of your story, but choosing to change the ending - and how you can apply it to the final month of the year:

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis

Here are three key takeaways you can expect from this episode:

  1. How to gently accept the parts of this year you wish had gone differently - and turn regret into learning and self-compassion.

  2. Why tiny, courageous steps matter more than dramatic change - and how one small action today can shift the direction of your whole year.

  3. A simple December reflection practice to help you design how you want the year to end and start stepping into your Future 2026 Self now.

Take this opportunity to learn how to turn reflection into momentum, and use the final weeks of the year to consciously create the ending you really want.

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 💛
