Today’s guest, multi-award-winning theatre director turned enterprise mentor, Simone de Haas, has a recurring dream of finding herself on stage in the wrong musical.

The cast is dressed for a different performance. The orchestra is not playing her tune.

There’s more to Simone’s dream, and she wonders if it’s an anxiety dream or if it has a deeper meaning. It does.

We begin by exploring Simone’s dream, relating it to her life, and finding helpful insight, before following the conversational muse and learning more about her life and work.

My guest today is Carolina Bakker, the Rat Race Recovery Coach, who dreamed of passing through a portal, a point of no return.

Carolina joins me from Porto, Portugal (yes, the portal does fit in there, doesn’t it?) There’s plenty of surreal dream action before she reaches the portal, and as we explore her dream, we discover what lies beyond the portal – and Portugal – in her life and work.

First up, we get to know Carolina through her dream, then we move on to talk about her life and work. As the Rat Race Recovery Coach, she helps women break free from the stress and burnout of toxic work environments. Carolina also shares her personal path of healing and recovery from the Rat Race she experienced during her corporate career.

Gemma Louise joins me from her home in Siem Reap, Cambodia, where she works as a spiritual coach and person-centred therapist helping people worldwide to create fulfilling lives in alignment with their values and soul’s purpose.

There’s more to Gemma’s dream, and we begin by exploring it and relating it to her life before she shares some case histories and deeper insights into the way she works with her clients. There’s plenty here to inspire and enlighten!

My guest today is Annabel Rolley, psychologist, professional golfer, and the founder of Interpretr AI, a dream analysis and conversation app.

Annabel’s passion for psychology and her fascination with the human mind have been major motivations throughout her career, most recently leading to the development of her app based on Freud and Jung’s philosophies.

We begin this episode exploring Annabel’s vivid dream about a shark attack. This one was for me – not for the dream analysis app. What does it mean, and how does it relate to her life?

We then chat about the app which offers dream interpretation, AI conversations to take you deeper, and visual art to illustrate your unique dream. And much more, which you’ll discover when you listen. We also return, toward the end of our conversation, to do some dream alchemy on Annabel’s shark dream.

You can visit Annabel’s Interpretr.ai website to try the app, and/or find her on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
