Today’s episode will change how you think about your dreams and your entire life.

Do you ever wake up from a dream and wonder: What did that mean?

Or maybe you’ve had a nightmare and asked yourself: Why did I dream that? Could I stop it? Is my brain trying to tell me something?

Maybe you keep having the same dream over and over again.

Or maybe you’re the person who says, “I don’t dream.”

According to today’s expert, you’re wrong. We all dream.

And once you understand what your brain is doing while you’re dreaming, you’ll never think about sleep, your mind, or what’s possible in the same way again.

Today, for the very first time on the show, Mel is diving deep into the science of dreaming, nightmares, what your dreams mean, what they’re trying to tell you, and more importantly, how to harness your dreams to unlock the full power of your mind.

You’ll also learn how to tap into the power of your dreams to create deeper connections, solve problems, unlock more creativity, and better understand yourself.

In this episode, Dr. Jandial will show you that dreaming is not random. It is not meaningless. And it is not something to ignore.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- What your dreams are really trying to tell you

- How to know which dreams are worth paying attention to

- What recurring dreams and nightmares may reveal about your emotional life

- Why nightmares can be an early warning sign that something deeper needs your attention

Carla Harris is here to make sure you’re not one of them.

Carla is one of the most respected leaders on Wall Street. She’s spent 35 years in the rooms where decisions get made: who gets promoted, who gets picked, who gets overlooked, and why.

When the world changes, you must change with it, or as our expert will caution you – you’ll “become a fossil.”

-How to figure out what you want next using Carla’s “blank sheet” method

-How to build a timeline to escape a toxic job without blowing up your life

You’ll also hear Carla coach real listeners through layoffs, rebuilding confidence, and returning to work after years at home.

Carla calls this next chapter Me 3.0. This is the phase where you stop living by someone else’s report card and start designing a career (and life) you want to wake up for.

Today, she’s giving you the career coaching session of a lifetime – one that no amount of money could buy, because she doesn’t offer one on one sessions.

She says, this is not the moment to sit back – it’s time to put your foot on the gas.

And if you use what Carla teaches you in this episode, you won’t just feel more confident.

You’ll be positioned to win.
