What if that harrowing nightmare that makes you jump out of bed was actually a blessing in disguise?

This week, I'm joined by Kelly Sullivan Walden, the "Doctor Dream". Kelly is an Inspirational Speaker, Award-winning Dream Expert, Celebrity Dreams Analyst, International Best-Selling Author, and Host of the Kelly Sullivan Walden Show podcast. For Kelly, nightmares are just unfinished dreams, and she developed a system to get back at them, even without falling asleep, finish them, and walk away empowered.

Throughout our conversation, we go through Kelly's background and how she became the "Doctor Dream". We discuss how magical generating empathy through vulnerability can be, what inspired Kelly to write about dreams and nightmares, and we learn an innovative way of looking at tragedies.

In addition, Kelly dissects the OGLE method that transforms challenges into blessings, explains how to get into the habit of using OGLE, and so much more.
