What if you didn’t have to quit your job to start living the life you actually want?

Seriously.

What if the dream you keep pushing to “someday” could begin… today?

In this episode, I sit down with Kate Volman, executive coach, certified Dream Manager, speaker, and author of Do What You Love, and we unpack something most people quietly struggle with:

They’re waiting.

Waiting for clarity.
Waiting for confidence.
Waiting for the “right time.”
Waiting for inspiration to strike.

And Kate gently but powerfully challenges all of it.

We talk about why “dream big” doesn’t have to mean yachts and Europe three times a year. Sometimes the dream is buying your first home. Getting out of debt. Writing 250 words a day. Learning piano at 40. Starting a podcast. Crocheting a baby blanket that takes eight years to finish and still counts.

This conversation goes deeper than motivation.

We explore:

  •  How to figure out what you actually love when you feel completely unclear
  •  The difference between purpose and passing interests
  •  Why pursuing a dream matters even if you never achieve it
  •  How to leave a job strategically without financial panic
  •  The myth that inspiration just magically appears
  •  Why mentorship and coaching accelerate everything
  •  How to break big dreams into small, momentum-building steps
  •  And why you do not need anyone else’s permission to begin

Kate shares the exact process she uses with clients, including the powerful “100 Dreams” exercise and how to narrow that list down to what truly matters right now.

And one of my favorite takeaways?

Inspiration doesn’t strike.

It shows up after you start.

If you’ve ever said, “I’ll do it when…”
If you’ve ever felt stuck between paying the bills and chasing the dream
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late or too unrealistic

This episode is your nudge.

Your reminder.

Your permission slip.

Hit play.
Because the dream isn’t waiting for perfect conditions.
It’s waiting for you to move.
