• #359 - Monday Motivation: “Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.”
    May 18 2025

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

    Today, we explore a powerful reminder from Angela N. Blount about how unexpected changes can lead us somewhere magical...

    “Sometimes the most scenic roads in life are the detours you didn’t mean to take.”

    Three key takeaways you can expect:

    1. How to quickly shift your mindset when life doesn't go to plan.

    2. The power of reframing so-called ‘mistakes’ into meaningful redirections.

    3. Five practices to help you embrace detours and stay open to life’s surprises.

    Take this opportunity to learn how to turn frustration into discovery, and use those moments when things go “wrong” as invitations to explore something new.

    It's a great reminder that life’s magic often happens outside the plan—and those unplanned moments might just bring you closer to your dream life.

    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 💛

  • #358 - ACADEMIC MEETS AUTHENTIC: DREAM LIFE LESSONS FROM A LIFELONG LEARNER with Dr Anna York-Weaving
    May 15 2025
    Hi there, I'm so excited to share this week's episode — it’s a good one! This time, I’m joined by the incredibly inspiring Dr. Anna York-Weaving, a Cambridge PhD scientist, academic coach, podcaster, and fellow lifelong learner. Anna's passion for learning and growth is contagious, and I just knew I had to bring her on to share her real-life experience and wisdom with our community. In this insightful conversation, Anna shares her journey from growing up in Ukraine to earning a scholarship to study in the UK — eventually achieving her childhood dream of studying at Cambridge. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing [is it ever?!] She opens up about her early struggles at university, how she overcame failure, and the pivotal moment she decided to transform not just her results but her entire approach to learning. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: How to learn smarter, not harder — and why reviewing information matters more than cramming it in. The power of visualisation and writing down your dreams — with a surprising story involving one of my books! Why setbacks are not failures but stepping stones to your future strengths. How to build habits like morning rituals that support your dream life (even with toddlers in tow!). It's an episode full of practical strategies, inspiring mindset shifts, and warm encouragement. If you're feeling a little stuck or unsure of your next step, Anna’s story will give you a beautiful nudge forward. Tune in — and let’s keep dreaming big, 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.

  • #356 - ALONEMENT: HOW TO BE ALONE & ABSOLUTELY OWN IT WITH FRANCESCA SPECTER
    May 8 2025
    Hello! In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with the inspiring Francesca Specter—author of Alonement: How to Be Alone and Absolutely Own It. And wow, what a beautiful and important conversation this turned out to be. If the idea of being alone feels scary or uncomfortable - or maybe even a bit boring - then this episode is 100% for you. We’re diving into why solitude isn’t something to escape… it’s something to embrace. Francesca shares so honestly her own journey as an extrovert learning to love her own company, and how solitude has become a joyful, nourishing part of her life - how it can become that for you too - and how it benefits you. We talk about: The difference between loneliness and alonement—and why it matters. How to carve out alone time (even with a full life) without guilt. Practical tips to enjoy your own company and use solitude as a tool for creativity and clarity. How journaling, rituals, and walking in nature can become sacred acts of self-connection. You’ll likely walk away with a new perspective on what it means to be alone—and how choosing solitude can actually bring you closer to yourself, your dreams, and your deepest clarity. So light a candle, grab a cuppa, or pop in your ear buds and go walking... and press play on this warm and soul-nourishing chat. Whether you're an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, there’s something truly powerful here for you. Because you, my friend, are worth taking time for. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.

  • #354 - MANIFESTING MADE PRACTICAL: Turning Your Dreams Into Reality
    May 1 2025

    Hi There!

    Join me here to explore The Science of Manifestation. Yes — the real, evidence-backed, practical kind.

    If you’ve ever caught yourself wondering whether manifestation really works, or if it's just “wishful thinking”… this episode will completely shift your perspective.

    You’ll discover how neuroscience supports the power of your thoughts, emotions, and actions in creating your reality. And you’ll also learn how visualization, belief, and consistent small steps can help rewire your mind and heart — and turn your dreams into reality.

    Three key take away's:

    Why writing your dreams down activates powerful brain pathways
    The daily visualization habit that changes everything (in under 2 minutes)
    How to stay open to magic — and why your community influences what you manifest

    Whether you’re just beginning your dream life journey or deep on the way, this episode is a great listen.

    And if you’re feeling inspired to go deeper, I’d love to support you inside my May Dream Life Coaching Program - to get you manifesting with clarity, confidence and purpose.

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

    1. How to use imagination as a daily tool to manifest your dream life.
    2. Three practical ways to turn your imagination into inspired action.

    Take this opportunity to learn how to use visualisation, journaling, and aligned actions to reconnect with your dreams and make them real.

  • #352 - HOW I MANIFESTED MY DREAM LIFE — and How You Can Too
    Apr 24 2025

    Hi there 💛

    I’m so excited to share this quite personal episode with you - taking us back to when I was 22 — a little lost, close to broke, and unsure where life was heading.

    I was living in a new country, when a 3am moment of restlessness sparked something inside me. With a little nudge from my partner Paul, I wrote down a simple list of dreams.

    Nothing fancy — just heartfelt intentions like wanting a career I loved, a way to stay connected to my family in Sweden, and enough money to live and call back home.

    That small act of writing those dreams down changed everything. It was the beginning of what became kikki.K, and now Dream Life.

    In this episode, I’m sharing how that moment turned into what I call my dream life, and how you can begin manifesting yours — no matter where you’re starting from.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    Why writing down your dreams is so powerful (and what science says about it)
    The exact three steps I use to manifest (you can start today!)
    The importance of letting go of logic and dreaming from your heart
    Why progress, not perfection, is what brings dreams to life

    So if you’re feeling a little stuck, unsure where to begin, or just ready to take that next step — this one’s for you.

    Grab your journal, light a candle, and let’s go on this journey 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 weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛
