What happened to the little dreamer you used to be?

The one who believed anything was possible. The one who dreamed without limits, imagined big adventures, and found joy in the smallest moments.

In this episode of A Dreamer’s Guide to Life, Kristin reflects on how Disney stories have inspired her throughout her life and why they continue to remind her of something we often forget as adults—that the little dreamer inside us never truly disappears.

From Jasmine’s longing to explore beyond the palace walls to Moana’s call to follow what was placed on her heart, Kristin shares how these stories mirror our own journeys of overcoming fear, breaking through self-imposed walls, and rediscovering the hopes we’ve buried beneath responsibilities and self-doubt.

She also shares the simple practice that helped her reconnect with herself during one of the hardest seasons of her life: creating a Happy List.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you once were, this episode is your reminder that your dreams are still waiting for you.

The little dreamer inside you is still there.

Season 2 • Episode 1

Some dreams never leave us.

After nearly three years away, I’m returning to A Dreamer’s Guide to Life to share why this podcast has been calling me back and what finally gave me the courage to press record again.

In this first episode of Season 2, I’m opening up about the seasons that changed me—from postpartum depression and losing myself beneath the many roles I carry, to rediscovering the dreams that never truly went away.

This isn’t just the return of a podcast.

It’s the beginning of a new chapter.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself, questioned your purpose, or wondered if it’s too late to start again, I hope this conversation reminds you that your dreams are still waiting for you.

Because dreams don’t expire.

🌟 In This Episode

• Why A Dreamer’s Guide to Life went quiet for nearly three years
• My journey through postpartum depression and rediscovering myself
• Navigating motherhood, career, and the many roles we carry
• The fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome that kept me from coming back
• Why I believe it’s never too late to pursue your dreams
• What you can expect from this new season
• Building a community where dreamers belong

A HERO is SOMEONE who has given HIS or HER LIFE to SOMETHING BIGGER than oneself.

This episode I give a little insight on my time served in the military. This episode also includes a special guest, my first guest on this podcast and one that provides lots of entertainment.
