Building a Life You Love

Welcome to Part 2 of the Create a Life You Love Series.On the podcast today Kristin talks with Laura Cruise, Author, Speaker, Coach and Podcast host of Your Dream or Mine, about how we can step into the driver's seat of our own lives and go from thinking about our dreams to actualizing them (this is a replay from last year).

If you are ready to take action and go after your dreams this is the perfect episode for you. Kristin and Laura also talk about getting clear on who you are, what you stand for and what makes you happy.

Laura shares her personal story, starting from her decision to leave a corporate job after a decade of stability, driven by the desire for greater autonomy and fulfillment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing what truly matters in life, urging listeners to reflect on their own dreams and desires. Kristin and Laura discuss the societal pressures women often face, particularly the tendency to prioritize others over their own needs and aspirations.

They highlight the significance of self-focus—not as selfishness but as a necessary practice for personal growth and happiness. Throughout their discussion, Laura encourages listeners to explore their 'magic'—the deeper motivations behind their dreams—and to embrace the idea that it is never too late to make a change. This episode serves as a powerful reminder that pursuing one's passions can lead to a more fulfilling and enriched life, while also inspiring those around us to do the same.

Takeaways:

• It's essential to identify what's holding you back from pursuing your dreams and desires.
• Embracing self-focus instead of selfishness can empower women to prioritize their needs.
• The journey to self-discovery and fulfilling dreams takes time and requires patience.
• Understanding your 'why' behind your dreams can provide motivation and clarity in your pursuits.
• Don't be afraid to ask for what you need in your career or personal life.
• It's never too late to start exploring new possibilities and reinventing your life.

Too often we get stuck in routine and obligation and wonder why were fell uninspired, worn out and lost. We have got to tap into the way God made us and what we enjoy, and are drawn to because those things aren't random- they are little signs of which direction to go- of what work or ways we can show up in the world uniquely us. And we've got to say no to overscheduled and start living our lives at a pace that feels good - because God didn't intend for us to fit so much in every single day. Replay from May 12, 2023.

It's time to take inventory. It's time to be intentional. And it's time to follow our Joy.

The question for today is are you spending your time and money on the things that matter most to you? If we are not careful or being intentional we can know what's important to us and yet not make time for those people or things regularly. And we can often spend our money elsewhere instead of on the things and people we most care about.
