Big Conversations with Haley Hoffman Smith

What if your life could look completely different three months from now? Like… genuinely. 👀✨ I don't mean because you made a giant list of goals, felt wildly motivated for four days, and then quietly forgot about all of them lol (easy to dooo). I mean actually creating enough momentum in one area of your life that you can look back 90 days from now and KNOW something shifted. In this episode, I'm walking you through exactly what I do when I'm ready to lock in and make things MOVE - from choosing the one thing you're going all-in on, to setting yourself up to stay consistent when the initial motivation wears off, to working with the subconscious patterns that can quietly pull you back into what's familiar. Because sometimes you consciously want something SO badly…and then somehow find yourself falling off, procrastinating, getting discouraged, or snapping right back into old patterns. We're getting into alllll of that. (WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/HUVJw-GBuzE)

But this also isn't an episode about grinding your way into a new life. We're talking about the ENERGY of these 90 days too: getting yourself into what I call the "miracle frequency," putting things on your calendar that make you genuinely excited to be alive, tracking the tiny wins you might normally overlook, letting yourself get better as you go, and leaving some room for the HOW to completely surprise you. 🥹

P.S. If you want to go deeper into the subconscious piece with me, you can try Dreamaway free for 7 days! I specifically talk about the Boomerang Stabilizer session in this episode, which is SO juicy if you've ever wondered why you can be doing amazing, gaining momentum, feeling consistent…and then suddenly find yourself snapping back into an old pattern.

What if I told you that the fastest way to lose the magic in something you love is to start needing it to give you something back? In my official favorite episode I have recorded to date (Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/GOpceYfkVOs), we're talking about the difference between being fully in the LIVED experience of going for your dreams vs. constantly measuring whether they're working. Is it growing? Is anyone noticing? Am I getting the validation? Am I there yet?

I'm sharing some very emotional stories from my own relationship with music, creativity, and success - including real talk about the season when something I loved became consumed by striving and optimization, and what it took to find my way back to creating from joy, fulfillment, and truth. Because somewhere along the way, we can accidentally abandon the experience of our own lives while waiting for the outside world to tell us we've arrived. If no one else in the world ever validates this… can this still be enough for me? Maybe you don't need to try harder. Maybe you need to come home to you. You have the magic, after all! 💗

What if the way you experience your life has less to do with what's happening around you…and everything to do with the version of YOU who is interpreting it?

In this episode, we're doing a full-blown self-image rebrand!! My intention is that you actually start feeling different about yourself TODAY after listening. We're talking about the assumptions you hold about who you are, what you believe other people think of you, the old experiences that may have quietly shaped your identity, and why you can sometimes have incredible evidence right in front of you…and still struggle to actually receive it.

I Am Certain - Self Image Certainty: https://dreamawaymembership.com/programs/higher-self-i-am-certain-self-image-certainty-67c4e5

I'm sharing one of my favorite (and honestly WILD) stories from my own self-image work as a singer-songwriter, when I was convinced nobody cared about a song I had written......only to discover that the evidence I desperately wanted was quite literally sitting somewhere I "hadn't seen it." That experience completely changed the way I think about internal validation, assumptions, and the evidence our current self-image allows us to notice.

Then we're getting PRACTICAL. I'll walk you through creating new internal dialogue, giving yourself the evidence within first, making your own Future Self visualization, practicing the identity of the person you want to become, and going full Nancy Drew mode to start collecting evidence for your new story. You don't have to wait for the outside world to give you permission to feel confident, talented, magnetic, successful, worthy, iconic, or like the person you've always wanted to be.

Give yourself the evidence first. Then start noticing what changes.

What if you've spent years dreaming about more success, visibility, abundance, and expansion… only to finally start getting it and realize that part of you is a little bit terrified because of that whole BELONGING THING? 👀✨

In this episode, we're exploring one of the sneakiest subconscious fears around thriving: the fear of what success might cost us in our relationships and sense of belonging. We're talking about why you might find yourself shrinking your wins, downplaying your excitement, worrying about outgrowing people you love, or even unconsciously holding yourself back because some part of you has learned that being successful = being less relatable, less supported, or more alone.

I'm sharing some very real stories from my own "come up" era (including friendship dynamics I absolutely did NOT see coming 😂), why "lonely at the top" does not have to become your story, and the practices that helped me completely change my relationship with thriving - so that success, visibility, love, support, and belonging could all exist in the same reality. Because they CAN.

You are allowed to thrive.... and to be wildly, deeply loved & celebrated as you do.

90 MIN SESH - Safe to Thrive: Beyond the Gray | Saturday, September 26th 1-2:30pm ET

Back in 2022, I hosted a widely beloved Slingshot session called Going Beyond the Gray, all about the fears that can arise when we leave what Robin Sharma calls "the cult of mediocrity" and allow ourselves to become more successful, visible, and fulfilled. Because thriving can bring up surprisingly deep questions around belonging: What happens when we begin to thrive in areas where people we love are struggling?

Especially when we have big hearts, it can feel selfish or inconsiderate to fully inhabit our joy when someone else is going through a difficult season. We may shrink, downplay our achievements, or leave our own thriving energy in order to remain relatable. We may also FEAR thriving in the first place because of this. In this potent 90-minute session, we'll clear fears around standing out, being judged, outgrowing others, and what people might think or feel as you step into thriving. You don't have to choose between belonging and becoming everything you're meant to be.

MONEY DATE - Next Wealth Normal: Beyond the Financial Gray | Tuesday, September 15th 7-8pm ET

In the theme of feeling safe to thrive, we have to talk about what happens when our subconscious considers skyrocketing to a whole new level of income….and what we believe it might mean to start making significantly more money than the people around us. Because our subconscious minds are hardwired for belonging, we can accidentally adopt the financial ceilings of our families, friends, or communities simply because exceeding them can feel unfamiliar, isolating, or even unsafe. In this Money Date, we're going beyond the financial gray: exploring the invisible upper limits you may have inherited, releasing fears around what others might think or expect of you as you become wealthier, and beginning to make a whole new level of wealth feel normal, safe, and available to you.

What if the thing that didn't work out wasn't proof that your dreams aren't happening for you….just proof that you simply couldn't see the whole picture yet? In this episode, I'm sharing what I call The Doors Theory: a perspective that has completely changed the way I process rejection, disappointment, closed doors, and those painfully specific things I was sure had to work out. We're talking about healing the "hope wound," releasing our attachment to exactly how and when our desires arrive, rebuilding trust after disappointment, and remembering that we never actually know what's waiting behind the door that didn't open. Maybe the vision wasn't wrong. Maybe the "casting" was. This is your invitation to hope again, surrender the specifics, and trust that what is truly meant for you can arrive in a way even better than the one you imagined. 🌟

What if your "full potential" isn't the perfectly optimized version of you who wakes up at 5am, never misses a workout, checks every box, and somehow does it all… but the version of you who feels the most *alive*?

In my FIRST VIDEO episode (!!!) (see on YT here: https://youtu.be/kLj515XsV-8), I'm rethinking everything we've been taught about reaching our potential....and exploring the difference between optimizing your life and actually, deeply meeting it/yourself. We're talking creative flow, alignment, discipline vs. self-connection, the seasons where your potential might look completely different than you expected, and why the moments you feel most expressed, connected, and like *yourself* may be the moments you're already living it. Your full potential called… and would really like to clear some things up!

What if the season you're worried about right now is one you'll someday look back on and think, little did I know? In this faith-boosting episode, I dive into why our brains project the past onto the future, how fear fills in the blanks of what we can't yet see, and the beautiful possibility that things are already lining up in ways we could never predict. Through incredible full-circle stories from my own life, I'm intending to help you loosen your grip on the "how," trust the unknown, and remember: you have no idea how much good could be ahead.

This episode is inspired by August 2026 in Dreamaway and the session I hosted on Saturday called "The Best is Yet to Come: Releasing Fear of the Future." We're now in DREAMAWAY 2.0!

My new YouTube vlog with the reveal for this podcast's UPLEVELLL (Coming majorly soon) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsVO-E4ZsV4

Your girl is in one of the most transformative seasons of her life - including my Saturn return gettin' started, a complete identity unraveling (back to 'factory settings' and who I really am), and (yay happy news!!)- getting engaged. And in the midst of it allll since last Fall, I realized something I never saw coming: I had become so good at optimizing my life/success that I accidentally optimized myself out of my true 100% genuine self expression & joy. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the surprising subconscious patterns that shaped my ambition, how/why my body started speaking louder than my mind ever could, and the profound difference between your survival identity and your true essence. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of fully living it, or existing too in your 'head' and the 'strategy' of it all instead of the authentic pleasure of this life experience for the sake of LIFE ITSELF, this conversation will help you come home to the version of you that is TRUEST.

PSSST - some serious breakthough questions at the end of this episode for ya, GRAB YOUR JOURNAL!!!!!

I ALWAYS KNEW: From Who You Had to Be, to Who You Always Were | Saturday, June 20th 1:00-2:30pm ET

This session is about returning to YOU. Not the optimized version of you… not your 'survival identity' who learned to perform, succeed, people-please, shape-shift, or stay palatable. We're talkin' the REAL you. The one who has existed underneath all the conditioning the entire time and looks a lot like your preteen self, dreaming big for your beautiful life.

We're going deep on the subtle identities we unconsciously built in order to be loved, chosen, safe, impressive, productive, "good," or successful… and clearing the exhaustion of carrying versions of yourself that were never fully true. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to disconnect from our natural desires, our creativity, our softness, our weirdness, our joy, our bigness, our voice in order to 'win approval' or 'stay safe'. This session is the return…. And the reactivation of best case scenario future envisioning, on YOUR unique terms. No one else's. Time to step back onto your custom blueprint life timeline and experience more success and bliss than ever as a result. 💋✨

The Responsibility Wound: Money Ease & Lightness | Monday, June 29th 7-8pm

This Money Date is for the people who secretly feel like they have to hold everything together or that it's 'all on them' in money matters. This is for you if being responsible meant overworking, over-carrying, overthinking, over-functioning… and perhaps you now struggle to let money feel EASY and RELAXED. We're clearing the identity that believes you always have to be the strong one, the fixer, the saver, the responsible one carrying the emotional or financial weight. Because maybe just maybe, when we plug into Source, we plug into overflow, ease, and support. 💸✨

In this episode, we're getting back to a BIG conversation....big moves! Big AUDACIOUS moves! Like, stepping into a version of you who doesn't wait to feel ready, doesn't ask for permission, & doesn't overthink if it will work… you just MOOOVE. And that's how things start moving with you.

When I really look back at my life, every major shift came from that type of audacity. NOT from certainty. NOT from having it all figured out before I dove in. Just from going and being brave. I had so much fun recording this episode and reminiscing.

This episode is really about that shift - choosing the version of you who just goes for it, even while fear is still very much present. Because spoiler: fear doesn't go away. You just stop letting it be in charge!!

May is AUDACITY MONTH in Dreamaway. (Schedule below)

90 MIN SESH: AUDACITY. SATURDAY, MAY 23RD 11AM-12:30PM ET.

MEOW!!! This session is a full reset around how boldly you show up to your life and those BIG DREAMS. We're clearing the hesitation, self-doubt, overthinking, and that subtle feeling of "am I allowed to do this?" at the root. Because it's NOT a lack of ambition - you know what you want!!!… it's a lack of permission & full throttle confidence to do the bold, WOW thing. We'll install a new baseline where boldness feels natural, action feels exciting, and going after what you want feels like a given…like, shut your laptop, and you're off to the races! Time to send that cold email, promote yourself boldly, make the ask, share the thing, and put yourself fully in the running. 💋✨

VISUALIZATION: DIVINE PERMISSION SLIP | AIRING SUNDAY, MAY 10TH IN SUNDAY SLUMBER PARTY

We have 100fold the confidence when we know we aren't pursuing our big dreams alone. This faith deepening visualization allows us to receive permission from God/Universe/Source FIRST…knowing our steps forward are blessed.

MONEY DATE: WHEN I ASK, IT'S GIVEN. | WEDNESDAY, MAY 13TH 7-8PM ET

This money date is your permission slip to ask for what you actually want financially! We're clearing the hesitation around saying the price, making the ask, going for the raise, and releasing that quiet "what if they say no?" X "this might be too much….." energy at the ROOT. Through tapping, we install a new baseline where asking feels clean, direct, and honestly kind of fun!!…. because you're certain of your worth and ready to make a big number that lights you up. Expect to leave this session feeling bold, certain, and very "I'll take THAT, actually." ✨ This is the Big Bold Sister of the 'You are Worth it' 2024 Money Date.

What if I told you that the key to feeling calm, clear, intuitive… and even magnetic was all in your HEART? In this episode of Big Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Rozman, behavioral psychologist, author, and CEO of HeartMath Institute, which is a pioneering research organization studying the connection between the heart, brain, and nervous system. We dive into the science behind heart coherence, which is a measurable state where your heart rhythms can shift from chaotic and jagged into smooth, flowing patterns. This directly impacts your emotional state, intuition, health, and even your ability to manifest. Guided by Dr. Rozman's wisdom and research, you'll learn how your emotions are literally creating physiological patterns in your body, why stress keeps you stuck in reactive cycles, and how you can shift your entire internal state in under a minute. We also talk about: What your heart rate variability (HRV) actually means (and why you shouldn't panic about the number, LOL mine is def on the lower end!!!) The real relationship between your heart, brain, and intuition Why your emotional state assists manifestation How your heart's electromagnetic field influences not only your body...but the people around you!! (THE REAL MEANING OF A VIBE!) A simple, science-backed technique to regulate your nervous system on the spot in sixty seconds This conversation is where spirituality meets physiology - where "vibes" become measurable, and where inner peace becomes a skill you can actually train. I've been applying the goodies from this episode since we recorded the conversation and it's AMAZING how much it helps!
