In this episode, I’m sharing a fresh perspective to kickstart your creative journey and tackle those big dreams you've been holding close. Together, we’ll explore how to make your goals feel actionable and achievable by asking five pivotal questions.

Big dreams often feel overwhelming, but the key to pursuing them lies in breaking them down into meaningful, manageable steps. I share my personal story of taking small, consistent actions toward my dream of becoming a fabric designer, turning a once-daunting idea into a thriving career. Along the way, I highlight the importance of connecting with supportive individuals, making consistent progress, and creating an environment that fosters creativity and focus.

Here are the five key questions I pose to help you fine-tune your vision and ignite action:

• Who can I look to for support? Big dreams thrive with encouragement, accountability, and mentorship. Surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you.

• What can I commit to? Consistency matters more than intensity. Even 15 minutes a day can snowball into significant progress.

• Where will I cultivate this dream? Set up a space and routines that make showing up for your dream easy and inspiring.

• What is my why? Anchor yourself with purpose, and let your bigger vision carry you through challenging moments.

• Am I ready to let go of perfection? Embrace mistakes as part of the journey and let experimentation fuel your growth.

I also share a special invitation to my free event, Pattern Week, where I’ll teach you how to create a repeating pattern in just five days. Whether it’s designing your first fabric or completing a long-held creative project, this event is all about turning dreams into tangible results.

As we embark on this new year, let’s embrace the power of small steps, intentionality, and a belief in the value of our dreams.
