Ep 2: From Survival to Dream Mode: Creating Space to Thrive


Listen Later

“You can’t dream when you’re in survival mode.”


In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my therapist, Kyla, to unpack the journey from living in constant burnout to creating the space to dream big again.


We talk about:

✨ What survival mode really is — and why it’s not just about money

✨ How unmet needs and nervous system regulation impact our ability to dream

✨ My own therapy journey and the turning points that shifted everything

✨ The difference between surviving and thriving (and why it can be scary to make the leap)

✨ Practical tools for sustaining “dream mode” in life and business

If you’ve been stuck in go-go-go mode, waiting for “someday” to feel happy or successful, this conversation will help you see that you can start creating your dream life now.
