November 17, 2025When You Think You’re Going Backwards (You’re Not): How to Recognize Progress When Old Patterns Resurface (Ep 58)(Ep 58)
This episode explores why old emotional patterns resurface during periods of personal growth, emphasizing that these moments are not regressions but signs of evolving to a deeper level. Using the metaphor of a spiral to illustrate how growth revisits familiar issues with increased awareness and maturity, it teaches listeners to see these patterns as opportunities for deeper integration and expanded capacity, rather than failures. Practical steps are provided to support the nervous system, ensure emotional regulation, and guide self-reflection, reinforcing that progress is a layered journey where each cycle offers new insights and strengths.
From the Episode:
" You are hitting a dip deeper layer of the same pattern, which means that you're actually ready for the next level that you've been asking for."
" Healing is not linear. Growth happens in a spiral. We come back to familiar triggers, wounds, fears. Not because we're failing, but because we're ready to meet them with more awareness and more capacity and more maturity and more truth."
" It's a reorganization of identity. You are literally becoming someone who can hold more—your capacity has expanded. Not just more success—more intimacy, more truth, more alignment, more life."
"...sometimes that's what it feels like you're going around in circles. Okay? Shift your perspective. You look at it from the side instead of the bird's eye view. You're going up, you're going up, you're moving, you're going up."
" If you panic, you sink deeper. If you shame yourself, you reinforce the pattern. Please hear that."
" Regulation is self-love in action...and then return to choice because this is ultimately where your power lives. In this moment, I get to decide who I am. In this moment, I might not be able to control the things that are happening, but I can control the way I choose to respond, the way I choose to show up."
" Your next level does not arrive when you're fully ready. I can tell you that it arrives when you decide to allow it."
" I want you to think of it like renovating a house that you're still living in. You don't bulldoze the whole thing and start from scratch. You're updating one room at a time."
" The real sign of success is a regulated nervous system."
" And guys, if you're listening, there are some of you out there who want transformation, but fear being seen. You still have those visibility wounds to work through and hey, been there, done that."

November 10, 2025Year Two Starts Now — The Embodiment Era (Ep 57)
In this special one-year anniversary episode, the 'Dreamed it, then Real Life did' podcast reflects on its transformative journey and how it has reached and supported listeners across the globe. This episode is not just a look back but a gateway into a deeper journey of self-love and embodiment. Announcements for the second year include more guest appearances, a new video series called 'Unmasked,' and weekly and bi-monthly emails focusing on reflection, action, and personal growth. The podcast will also feature a revitalized blog to help listeners easily find resources and further support their journey. This next chapter promises richer conversations, real-world applications, and a commitment to personal growth and community. Tune in to be a part of this evolving journey and embrace your own transformation.
From the Episode:
" It felt like stepping forward without a map, only a knowing, and somehow that was enough."
" This year required you to dig deep and to really, really, really, really ask yourself. The big questions and be willing to sit with yourself as the answers reveal themselves."
" Yes, you have arrived. You are here, right here, right now. You are the embodiment of all of this work. You've been doing all of this intention. Right now. Feel that, feel that moment, feel that gratitude for every single thing that you have overcome and that you have endured and that you have come up against, that has not broken you, it has not stopped you."
" We're in a moment when playing small is no longer an option. The old ways of shrinking and pleasing and hiding, and numbing and distracting and pretending are exhausting, and they're starting to feel impossible to maintain."
" Your subconscious mind will never outperform your self image—who you believe yourself to be—and your subconscious mind runs the show. 95% of everything you do say and think's coming from the subconscious mind."
"And threshold moments are where identity shifts happen."
"This is the year that you stop admiring the idea of your highest self. And you actually embody it— fully, totally, completely embody it."
" Year two is where we stop consuming inspiration and start living it. You know, this is not self-love as a concept. It's self-love as a daily identity... We love ourselves. We show ourselves how we love ourselves by the way we show up for ourselves."
" We are not here to repeat old cycles. We are not here to stay small to dim. Quiet or careful. We are not here to protect old identities that were built on survival."
" This is the year where you stop shrinking to fit old versions of yourself, and you stop negotiating your worth, and you stop waiting for permission to be who you were meant to be— who your soul came here to be."

November 03, 2025Seeing Life Clearly: The Metaphysical Insight (Ep 56)
Kelly Jackson delves into the concept of metaphysics and how it has transformed her life and can transform yours. She explores the idea that every life experience, physical symptom, and environmental factor carries a deeper, metaphysical message. Through personal anecdotes and client stories, Kelly illustrates how adopting a metaphysical perspective can turn pain into a teacher, patterns into maps, and everyday moments into divine guidance. She also covers the importance of self-awareness, holistic health practices, and the powerful link between our inner state and our outer environment. Listeners are guided through practical steps to begin interpreting these metaphysical signs for a richer, more aligned life, encouraging a shift from living on autopilot to living with intention and purpose.
From the Episode:
" Imagine if every ache, every random encounter, every season of life wasn't random at all. It was a message. What if the universe was constantly speaking to you through your body, your surroundings, your experiences?"
"When you learn to view life through a metaphysical lens, nothing feels wasted. Pain becomes a teacher and patterns become maps, and everyday moments become divine guidance."
" Sometimes we just need a reminder to, ah, relax. You don't have to hold onto all of that."
" ...our body has a yin and a yang side. So the right side of your body is the masculine energy, the yang energy, and the left side is the feminine and the yen energy. And so depending on the side of your body that something is happening on, that can tell you something "
" I once was blind and now I see hello. This is like the story of my life. I was so blind to the possibility of the magic of us, of humans, of this world, of this universe, of everything."
"I used to be highly medicated and now I'm highly meditated. That was a shift and a shift that made a really big difference."
" A healthy liver is linked to a sense of purpose and clear planning and ambition. It's the flow of life. So the metaphysical message is to adapt and go with the flow like a flexible plant would bend with the wind."
"Instead of rushing past discomfort, ask, what is this really about?"
" Patterns are your soul's curriculum, and again, if something keeps repeating, it's not random and sometimes, it just helps to have someone else hold up that mirror for us so we can see."
" You have to ask the right question. You know, it's moving from 'why me?' to, 'what is this teaching me?' From 'why is this happening to me?' to 'this is happening for me'..."

October 27, 2025Unmasking Shadows: Halloween's Hidden Lessons (Ep 55)
Kelly Jackson delves into the deeper meanings of Halloween, exploring how the shadows, costumes, and masks we associate with this holiday can reveal hidden aspects of ourselves. Through personal anecdotes and insights on self-growth, Kelly shares her journey of using Botox as a metaphorical mask and how she learned to remove it to embrace her true self. The episode tackles the idea that facing our fears and shadows can lead to personal empowerment and growth. With practical advice on how to unmask yourself and embrace your shadows with compassion, Kelly invites listeners to transform their pain into possibilities and live more authentically. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that aims to help you reclaim your power and step into your true self.
From the Episode:
"What if the monsters that we run from are actually teachers in disguise?"
"... avoiding shadows keeps you stuck and facing them sets you free."
" Today I'm going to show you how what you're most afraid to face could be the exact thing that makes you magnetic, whole and powerful."
" And the one that you give your energy and attention to is the one that grows and multiplies."
" When you learn to meet your shadows with love instead of fear, you stop living on autopilot and you start living in alignment."
" Your shadows, those dark parts of yourself, those shadow aspects of yourself are asking you to become consciously aware that they are a part of you without denying them, without repressing them, without disowning them..."
" Spoiler alert, it didn't ruin me and it wasn't the worst thing that happened to me either..."
" I'm hoping with sharing these stories and providing some insight, that you will have the courage to get that flashlight and shine the light of your consciousness on some of your shadows as well."
" That is exactly what shadow work is. Our shadows feel terrifying because we're meeting them in the dark. But when you shine the light of awareness, you see that they're not here to destroy you. They're just parts of you that are playing roles."
" We have all seen people who are haunted by their past because they won't face it. That doesn't have to be your story though."

October 20, 2025Rising Through the Roots: Life Lessons from Landscaping (Ep 54)
In this heartfelt episode, Kelly Jackson shares her multifaceted journey through various careers, including a decade in the service industry, over six years running a landscape contracting company, and five years as a professional artist. Kelly reflects on the lessons learned from her time as a landscape contractor, including the importance of vision, design, leadership, and alignment. She dives deep into transformative stories, such as the challenges of growing a business, the significance of pruning in life and nature, and the hidden strengths found in different root systems. Kelly's narrative highlights the importance of trusting the process, even when the path is unclear. This episode offers inspiration, wisdom, and a chance to get to know Kelly on a more personal level. Tune in to explore how embracing life's twists and turns can lead to profound growth and understanding.
From the Episode:
" I used to own a landscaping company and while it was sweaty and dirty and exhausting work, it was also a masterclass in vision, design, leadership, and alignment."
" I made a lot of mistakes and I learned a lot of lessons and it was one of the most beautiful and transformative times of my life. And I'm excited to share more about this with y'all."
" If that bobcat were to slide off... like every scary, negative, panic thought that you could have, I was having— this is all coming flashing back to me. Oh my gosh. I just realized my nervous system is still holding this in my body."
" ... we did really big jobs. We did. When I say really big jobs, like... I didn't even know what I didn't know. I was like, yeah, we can do it... and I'll figure out how to do it later. I'll learn what I need to learn and do what I need to do."
" ...you have to cut things back so that they can grow. You have to prune to promote new growth."
" We have to prune back the dead, dying, diseased in our life too; maybe it's a habit, maybe it's a friendship, maybe it's a relationship..."
"By pruning your plants thoughtfully, you can help your plants thrive and enjoy healthy, vigorous growth. And by pruning your lifestyle thoughtfully, you can help yourself thrive and enjoy healthy and vigorous growth."
" It's a dark night of the soul. It's an ego death, it's a transition, it's an awakening. It's a rebirth."
" Some of us grow fast and some of us need more time underground before anyone even sees us bloom. And some of us branch wide and some of us dig deep and neither is better, guys."
" Just like plants, your growth is perfectly designed for you. You have to trust your root system."

October 13, 2025Trailblazing Wellness: Shelly Mullenix and Holistic Health at LSU (Ep 53)
In this episode of the podcast, host Kelly Jackson sits down with Shelly Mullenix, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Health and Wellness at LSU. Shelly brings her decades-long experience in sports medicine and athletic training to discuss her pioneering work in integrating mental health and wellness programs within collegiate sports. As the first female athletic trainer in the SEC and a recent inductee to the Louisiana Athletic Trainers Association Hall of Fame, Shelly shares invaluable insights into the holistic approach to athlete development. From navigating high-pressure transitions to supporting student-athletes through mental health challenges, Shelly’s unique perspective is both inspiring and educational. Tune in to learn more about the dynamic initiatives at LSU and how they set a new standard in athletic care.
From the Episode:
"...they just don't show up here at 18 years old and we assume that they're an elite, five star athlete, and we treat 'em as such. They're children, and they're children with parents, and they're children with parents who just lost their parents. So they've got a lot of baggage that they bring with them."
" ...every day that you can keep someone alive is a day that they can learn more about themselves."
" I wanna know when you're smoking weed, what does it make you feel? You know, that's not a question you typically ask someone who's 18 or 19 'cause they're not used to talking about that."
"Everyone's just not brave enough to talk about it."
" ... we all can say something and we may not say the right thing, and it doesn't matter; because in the absence of what you say, they're isolated."
" They don't care if you never step on the field. They'd love to see that, but they don't care if you do or not. They're here to really basically help mold you, help you grow, help you kind of not feel so alone when you are in fact alone."
" It's amazing when you ask these people, what do you love about yourself? The pause. They can't even think, they can't even come up with the words. 'Cause they don't know themselves in any other way other than being an athlete."
" If you were to ask an old player what they miss most, they miss the locker room, they miss the training room, they miss those things, 'cause that's where life happens."
" If you haven't seen the mental health professional, you've not reached your capacity. You have not reached your peak."
" Mental health is not a taboo topic here. No. And, for anyone who is still living in that old, outdated paradigm that this is hush hush and that you don't talk about this, guys, wake up because this is what we're talking about now."

October 06, 2025From Depression to Empowerment: My Mental Health Story (Ep 52)
In this episode of 'Dreamed It Then Real Lifed It,' host Kelly Jackson shares an intimate look into her mental health journey. Expressing gratitude to her listeners, Kelly introduces a shift in her usual format to share personal stories and insights in a new way. She recounts her diagnosis with clinical depression at age 11 and the subsequent years of medication. Kelly then discusses her transformative journey that began in 2016, which led her to embrace holistic practices like meditation and breath work, leading to significant improvements in her mental and physical health. She emphasizes the importance of removing the stigma around mental health and encourages open conversations. Kelly also hints at an exciting guest for the next episode, promising more inspiring content.
From the Episode:
" I don't even have a piece of paper in front of me. I have nothing. And I'm sitting here, have the microphone in front of me, and I'm gonna share some personal stories. I'm just going to share. It's gonna be a conversation."
" I was first diagnosed with clinical depression at the age of 11. I was in. Middle school, they said I had a chemical imbalance, that my body didn't produce enough serotonin. This is the story that I was told. I started being medicated for depression at the age of 11, and then soon following that it was ADHD medication, anxiety medication. There were also physical things that were happening at the same time in my life at age of 11."
" ...mental health needs to be talked about even more until people don't put it in the same category as having diarrhea."
" If you want something you've never had, you have to do something you've never done."
" The whole thing about that though is just because...it's your belief system and you believe it to be true, doesn't mean it's actually true."
" ... because the quality of your life depends on the quality of the questions you ask yourself."
" Guys, it's nothing to be ashamed of, and it's something that needs to be prioritized. "
" It's a dark night of the soul. It's an ego death, it's a transition, it's an awakening. It's a rebirth."
" But I am here to tell you, I haven't taken any pharmaceutical medicine in over eight years and I'm thriving and my health is better than ever. And so it's possible. It's possible. And if I can do it, you can do it..."
"...there's a saying that says that the branches of a tree can't reach heaven if the roots don't reach hell. And maybe one of the reasons that I feel so fricking grateful for this life that I feel so blessed to be living and experiencing today, it is beyond my wildest imagination... and I don't think that I could experience this level of bliss and peace and joy had I not also experienced such low, low, low, low, low lows."

September 29, 2025Q4 Momentum: Aligning Your Business with the Season of Harvest + Finish Strong (Ep 51)
In this episode of 'Dreamed It Then Real Lifed It,' host Kelly Jackson guides entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and dreamers through strategically aligning their businesses for Q4. Kelly emphasizes the importance of viewing Q4 as a harvest season for evaluating progress, shedding unproductive elements, and setting the stage for the new year. Key topics include reflection, resetting boundaries, nurturing holistic health, playful productivity hacks, and planning for Q1 from Q4. Strategies for maintaining self-trust and alignment are central to finishing the year strong without burnout.

From the Episode:
" Q4 is more than just another three months on the calendar. It is an energetic threshold. It's symbolic of both completion and preparation."
" When you see your business through the lens of seasonal rhythms, you'll find a sense of grounding and flow that no to-do list can offer."
" Nothing is wasted. Even mistakes become compost. And failures are actually rich soil for what you'll do differently in the rest of 2025 or even moving forward. Because sometimes your best ideas are born from what didn't work, and that becomes fuel for the next season."
" Let go of what drains you, so your energy is freed up for what truly."
" Sometimes the biggest transformation isn't in what you add, but it's in what you stop leaking away."
" You don't need gimmicks, you need alignment. Share your offers with heart. Why it matters, who it's for, what transformation it delivers."
" You are not a machine. You are a human being; and not even a human doing... a human being."
" Stop multitasking. Maybe you weren't expecting me to say that, but I said it. Stop multitasking."
" Success isn't about more hustle guys, it's about more alignment."
" Planning from Q4 doesn't just create ease, guys. It creates momentum that carries you straight into the new year. Who doesn't want that?"

September 22, 2025The Beauty of Letting Go: Autumn Lessons for the Soul (Ep 50)
Join host Kelly Jackson in this transformative episode as she delves into the art of letting go, releasing just in time for the autumn equinox. Discover how nature teaches us to release with grace and find beauty in endings. Kelly uncovers the emotional, psychological, and energetic layers of letting go and explains why it's so challenging yet essential for personal growth. Through modern-day parables and actionable tips, learn how to shed old habits, relationships, and mindsets that no longer serve you. Tune in to unburden yourself, create space for new opportunities, and experience deeper self-love. Don't miss out—step into a lighter, freer you!

From the Episode:
" Trees don't cling to their leaves out of fear. They let them go and maybe that's the lesson that we're here for. How to release with grace, how to find beauty in endings, and how to trust what's coming next."
"Releasing feels poetic in theory and terrifying in practice. Why? Because we equate release with loss. Humans clinging to the familiar, even if it hurts. Familiar chaos often feels safer than the unknown. Isn't that wild?"
" Endings are not failures. They're transitions. Nature doesn't fail when a leaf falls. The void that we fear is actually fertile ground."
" Burnout is often a sign of holding on too tightly. When you are physically and mentally drained, it's your body saying, 'uh, this attachment, it's gonna cost you. This attachment is gonna cost you. This attachment is costing you.' "
" What weight can you let go to lighten your energetic load? Emotional and energetic release is liberation; when energy moves, life moves."
" Some things or people must leave to make room for growth."
" Love is not about clinging, it's about flow and release, creating space for deeper, more aligned love, starting with yourself."
" ...and when you release, that energy returns to you. It's like money back in your wallet. Suddenly you can spend it where it matters. Joy, creativity, presence, you name it."
" Release is not just about loss. It's about creating space for everything beautiful that's waiting to arrive. It's about allowing."
" Autumn isn't a story of loss. It's a story of rhythm, of trust, of preparing for what's next.Trees don't mourn their leaves, they trust spring will return."

September 15, 2025The Hero: Becoming the Champion of Your Own Story (Ep 49)
In this episode, Kelly Jackson dives deep into the concept of the Hero's Journey, emphasizing that each of us is on our own personal journey of transformation. Drawing parallels to classic storytelling, she explores the stages of the Hero's Journey—from answering the call to adventure and facing internal dragons to seeking allies and mentors. Kelly underscores the importance of self-love as the ultimate guide through life's challenges. She advocates acknowledging and integrating our shadows, overcoming resistance, and recognizing that our journeys are not punishments but pathways to growth. She provides personal anecdotes and encourages listeners to see their current struggles as parts of a larger transformative process.

From the Episode:
" Every hero begins in the ordinary world, the familiar, the safe, the routine, right? And then something whispers or maybe shouts. It's a call to step out, to grow, to change."
"Growth never waits for perfect timing. So because of that, because it's rarely convenient, right? It's often inconvenient. Many of us resist the call. At first we pretend we didn't hear it, but the call always returns louder each time until we acknowledge it."
" The call to adventure is simply your soul asking you to wake up, pay attention, and start walking toward who you want to be."
" Resistance is natural because change feels like death to the ego."
" Many people get stuck here forever. They live a whole life refusing the call. And deep down they know it. That's where bitterness lives."
" If you are in resistance right now, I want you to remember this: Resistance doesn't mean stop. It means something big enough is calling you that fear had to show up too."
"This stage — the ordeal stage — is messy and raw. Yes, it is. However, it's also where the deepest transformation happens. Okay? So if you are in the thick of it, remember this isn't a detour. This is the path. Every scar becomes part of your power."
" The truth is that every challenge in your life has been training you. You're not waiting for a hero to arrive. You are the one. You, yes, you."
" ...heroes rise, but they rarely rise alone. You don't have to do it all alone."
" Being your own hero means you stop outsourcing your power. You stop waiting to be rescued. You stop waiting to be chosen. You realize you were the one holding the sword the whole time."
