  • #420 - Choose Your Word of The Year

    #420 - Choose Your Word of The Year
    Dec 18 2025
    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. 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.

    # 419 - Monday Motivation: Celebrate endings - for they precede new beginnings” - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
    Dec 17 2025

    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 Jonathan Lockwood Huie’s reminder to celebrate endings as the doorway to your next chapter :

    'Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings.'

    Three key takeaways you can expect:

    1. How to finish your year with reflection -> so you can carry the wisdom forward (not just the to-do list).

    2. How to release what no longer serves you -> to create real space for what you want next.

    3. How to take one tiny, encouraging step -> that builds momentum into your dream life.

    Take this opportunity to learn how to slow down, reset, and step into your new beginning with intention.

    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 💛

  • #418 - 5-YEAR CRUSADE with John Soforic

    #418 - 5-YEAR CRUSADE with John Soforic
    Dec 12 2025

    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. Join us!

    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 💛

    #417 - Monday Motivation: “To be calm is the highest achievement of the self.” - Zen proverb
    Dec 7 2025
    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 the beautiful Zen proverb that reminds us that calm is not passive, but a powerful inner achievement we can choose – even in the busiest season of the year: “To be calm is the highest achievement of the self.” Three key takeaways you can expect: How to create micro-moments of stillness in your day - in as little as 30 seconds - to gently reset your nervous system. How to lovingly lower the bar and simplify December, so it feels more present, joyful and aligned with what truly matters to you. How to protect your energy and prioritise intentional rest, so you can show up as your best self for the people and projects you care about. Listen in and feel inspired to slow down, breathe, and make small calm choices that move you closer to living your dream life - whatever that looks like for you.

  • #416 - IS 2026 GOING TO BE YOUR YEAR?

    #416 - IS 2026 GOING TO BE YOUR YEAR?
    Dec 4 2025
    As we edge towards a brand-new year, I want to ask you a simple – but deeply powerful – question: Is 2026 going to be your year? Not just a “pretty good” year, but a year you consciously design. A year where you stop postponing your dreams, get clear on what truly matters, and begin living a life that feels meaningful and aligned for you. In this solo episode, I’ll guide you through a gentle but honest reflection on where you’re at now - and who you want to be by the end of 2026. We’ll slow down together, breathe, and really consider: What do I want more of next year? What do I want less of? What are my top three dreams for 2026? I’ll walk you through a simple future-visualisation (you, at the end of 2026, feeling proud and alive), and then we’ll turn that into three powerful focus dreams for the year ahead. Not 20. Not 101. Just three - because three creates clarity, focus and momentum. If you’re feeling a little stuck, a bit on autopilot, or just ready for a fresh, intentional start, this episode is your invitation. Pop your headphones on, grab your journal, and let’s start making 2026 your year - by design, not by default. 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 💛 KK x Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

    #415 - Monday Motivation: “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
    Nov 30 2025
    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: How to gently accept the parts of this year you wish had gone differently - and turn regret into learning and self-compassion. Why tiny, courageous steps matter more than dramatic change - and how one small action today can shift the direction of your whole year. 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.

  • #414 - REST: WHY YOU GET MORE DONE WHEN YOU WORK LESS, with Alex Soojung-Kim Pang

    #414 - REST: WHY YOU GET MORE DONE WHEN YOU WORK LESS, with Alex Soojung-Kim Pang
    Nov 27 2025
    Before you dive into today’s episode, take a slow, deep breath with me… and let it go... Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, author of Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less. His book completely reframed how I think about productivity, creativity, and the rhythm of our days. Alex has a magical way of showing us that when we rest well - truly rest - we don’t fall behind. We rise. We think more clearly. We create better. And we step into our dreams with more energy, intention, and joy. Whether you’re closing out a big year, building something exciting, or simply wanting more ease in your days, this conversation offers the permission slip so many of us need: to slow down, breathe, recalibrate… and trust that rest supports your dreams. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did - and I encourage you to listen all the way to the end, because there is so much goodness you won’t want to miss. 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 💛 KK x Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.
