Today we had the privilege of chatting with certified Life and Mindset Coach, Lauren Dieckmann.  Lauren is a wife, mom, and former teacher that was on auto-pilot, checking off all the boxes with her life goals to become a wife, mom, teacher, etc. but then she “hit a wall” and started feeling like she had lost who she really was.  That was when she decided to invest in herself and hire a coach.  This was a turning point for Lauren, as she started to ask herself the important questions of “What do I want?”  

Lauren shared how she used to yell at her kids, and once she was able to heighten her awareness, with the support of a coach, she realized that she had a choice on how she was “showing up” for her kids, and then created a new narrative in her mind around how she would “show up” with her kids. One of her favorite quotes is, “I always thought that the "thriving" would come when everything was perfect, and what I learned is that it's actually down in the mess that things get good…If you can't find happiness in the ugliness, you're not going to find it in the beauty, either.”― Joanna Gaines

Because of the life-changing benefits Lauren experienced working with a coach, she decided to become a coach herself.  She is on a mission to help moms live a life they truly desire.  You can connect with Lauren on Instagram @laurendieckmann or email her at [email protected]

Is dreaming about your future and what you want your life to look like challenging for you?  For many of us, getting excited about our goals and life pursuits was easier when we were in high school and college.   First goals to graduate, then college, graduate, land a great job, get married and start a family….or some version of that.  But when we reach all of these goals, we can find ourselves in the midst of raising a family or a career, and completely forget how to dream!  

Kelly encouraged us to “peel the onion” to discover our inner desires and the things that are most important to us.  And the key to this is to visualize the details of your dreams, the sounds, smells and the feelings it evokes.  This is KEY!  This takes time and could be done through journaling or talking with a trusted friend.  We are here for you and want to help you uncover those dreams. So, if you want to talk to one of us and discover what is at the core of your biggest desires and dreams, schedule a Discovery Call - message us for the link!

Dreams are a big deal and we don’t want anyone to feel stuck in “Groundhog Day,” so please share this episode with a friend or family member that is desiring to uncover those buried dreams! Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!

Did you know that most people set wrong goals?  Yep, it’s true!

Last week we started this discussion with “What do you want your life to look like?” and learned about a great tool called the Wheel of Life, to help us become aware of where we are at with our goals and habits in the different areas of our life so we can then ask ourselves, “Where would I like to be?  How would I like my life to look like when my goal is achieved?”

In this episode we dive deeper into Goals.  Most people set “Should Goals” like “ I should lose 10 lbs. I should be more organized.” and the list could go on and on.  These types of goals are motivated by guilt and focus on changing a behavior, but this often doesn’t produce REAL growth.  Goals that bring about inner growth and transformation are the goals we want to focus on. And for more training, tools and connections, we invite you to join our FREE Facebook group here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/

Listen in to gain some valuable tools to do just that:

• How to Create Future Memories
• Focus on One Goal at a time

Sara shared 3 Action Steps you can take:

1. Craft that life vision of future memories
2. Pick one “soccer ball,” which is your NOW goal
3. Ditch the Drama and Do it!

Please share this episode with a friend or family member that is desiring to make 2023 amazing! Give us a “shout out” on your social media platforms!  Thank you!

We are so excited for the start of Season 2 because Season 2 is all about YOU!  All 3 of us have become certified Life and Mindset Coaches and we are taking our podcast to the next level, with YOU as our main focus!  In this episode we dive in and explore the question:  “What do you REALLY want?”  As women, it is almost like it is our default setting to make sure that everyone else has what they want, and often to downplay our own wants and desires.

During these first episodes we want to help you take a non-judgemental, objective look at the areas of your life, and evaluate how you are feeling about it right now.  We introduced the tool, The Wheel of Life, and invite you to reflect on the different areas of our life, and give it a rating from 1-10.  Some of the areas may include family and friends, health, personal growth, fun/recreation, business/career, romance, physical environment, selfcare, and finances.

We just started the conversation, but the real connection and continued support will be in our new Facebook community!  We want to create a safe space where you can go deeper into the topics, ask questions, get the support, tools, and ideas as well as connect with other women that are going through the same things.  In our Facebook Group, there will also be opportunities for further training as well as group coaching experiences.  Join us here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/

We are SO excited for 2023 and we can’t wait to tell you more!  Here is the punchline:  We’re expanding!  What do we mean by that?  Well, in Season 1 we focused on taking a quote each week and expanding on it, how it was impacting our lives, how we could relate to the content, and the challenges, shortfall, and successes we have had in our personal and professional lives around the topic the quote inspired.  You got to know us, our unique perspectives, and how we support and encourage each other to continue doing this “inner work.”  And our goal was to inspire and empower you to do the same.

But here is where it gets exciting!  Because of our own personal growth and development, our vision for this podcast has expanded!  This past year, each of us have become certified Life and Mindset Coaches, and we are ready to serve YOU, our listeners, even more.  We have created a FREE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wakeupanddream/ and we would LOVE for you to join us.  We have created this group with you in mind.  We will be diving deeper into the topics discussed each week in our podcast, plus a safe, positive and encouraging space for you to grow, to learn, and to connect with other women.  We know you will love this community, and our goal is simply to inspire, equip, and empower you to design a life you love, that you get excited about, and a life that causes you to “wake up and DREAM.”

If you are excited about Season 2, give us a shout out on your social media platforms!

We are so thrilled to be launching SEASON 2!  And we are pivoting and expanding all with YOU in mind!   In season 1, we used a quote each week to launch our discussion around how we have been applying this mindset to our daily lives and businesses.  We love that we each bring a unique perspective to this inner work and our goal each week was to encourage you to dig in and do the same…..and now we are prepared and better equipped to support and empower you in Season 2!

During this past year, each of us have become certified Life and Mindset Coaches, and we are so excited to help you with a strategic, systematic approach to “waking up and dreaming!”  It’s true!  So many of us are stuck in “Groundhog Day” doing the same thing day after day, with no real awareness as to what we really want out of our life.  Perhaps we are satisfied with how things are going for the most part, and grateful for all that we have, but still have this nagging feeling that there has to be MORE to this life.  THAT is what Season 2 is all about! 

PLUS, we are expanding our support and connection by adding a FREE Facebook Group!  Join us as we dive deeper into each week’s topics and offer more teachings, trainings, and coaching as we face the challenges of daily life, learn to be more mindful and aware of our thoughts/beliefs that either are serving us or NOT.  

As women, we believe it is vital to our personal growth to feel connected!  Our FREE Facebook group aims to be a safe, encouraging, and supportive space where we each will begin and/or continue this transformational process of BECOMING all that we were created to be.  And we are excited to have you joining us!

We are back with Criss Madrigal, mother of 3, and an incredible mindset coach for moms with children who have what she is calling “invisible disabilities.”  We had so much fun with Criss a few weeks back, and felt that our listeners could benefit from more of her practical, encouraging and beneficial “tools” for the WO-MOMS out there!

In our first interview, Criss shared her incredible “freebie” to help create a meaningful and beneficial connection between your child’s teacher and you!  If you missed that episode be sure to go back and listen to Episode 30.  This is an invaluable tool to help support not only your child(ren) but to aid their teacher in getting to know more about your child and how he/she learns.

Criss has created an online community for working mothers to connect, as well as coaching women to create a mindset that will empower them to be the best mom for their children.  We need to be a woman first, even before we “show up” in our other relationships.  This is where she came up with the term WO-MOM, meaning we need to be a woman first and take care of ourselves first, and that will then allow us to be the best mom we can be.  Criss is passionate about helping you to become this amazing wo-mom, to realize you have value and purpose independent of your role as wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend.   And she does this by empowering you to work on your mindset, because that is where it all starts!

We encourage you to connect with Criss in her FREE facebook community that is absolutely INCREDIBLE to learn more and get the support you are desiring from like-minded people.  Or you can reach out to her on Instagram @crissmadrigal or email her at [email protected].

Is this podcast helping you to grow?  If so, don’t be shy!  Share our podcast on your social media platforms, or send it to a friend that may need this encouragement!  And, be sure to reach out and connect with us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast

Quote:  " Make your vision so clear that your fears become irrelevant." ~Valerie L. Conley

We are nearing the end of 2022 and many of us are starting to think about our goals and aspirations for the new year!  Do you have a clear vision as to what you desire your future to be?  Vision is more than goal-setting;  it really becomes the “fuel” to help you set your goals.  So, how do we create a clear vision so that our fears become irrelevant?

Lisa shares a little bit about an acronym she has used with her team, to help them think about their vision or their ultimate desired “destination.”  The GPS is an acronym that provides the tools needed to create that clear vision.  The “G” stands for Goals that require Growth, the “P”  for Persistence, and the “S”  for “Stay in your Lane.”

Knowing what your default settings are is necessary so that we can begin to create NEW thoughts.  Kelly shared  how important it is to journal, pray, and/or talk with a trusted friend, as a means to get those thoughts out in the open.  Once we get honest with ourselves, we can offer our brain a NEW thought that can literally help us create a new default setting.  Sara talked about the importance of feeling this new truth and making it your own!  Kelly also shared how the Enneagram has helped her identify her past thinking and better understand why she thinks the way she does.  This awareness can propel us to adopt a growth mindset, and move us past the fear and in the direction of creating a life we love and design!

Stay tuned for the next episodes as we share our VISION for 2023 and the next NEW Season of our “Wake Up and Dream Podcast.”  We are super excited about what we have planned and can’t wait to share it with you…..

Are you naturally a visionary?  Do you have a clear vision about your future (personally and/or professionally) or are your fears holding you back?! Share with us, as we would love to encourage and support you in your vision!  Connect with us!  Drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast

Today we had an incredible conversation with the amazing and inspirational powerhouse, Lisa Guillot.  Lisa is a certified transformational mindset coach and personal branding expert.  She is also the founder of Be Bright Lisa Coaching and Clear Vision You.  Here is her quote:

“Change is a function of altering what you are doing, to improve something that is already possible in our reality.  Transformation is a function of altering the way you are being to create something that is currently not possible in your reality.”   ~From The Last Word on Power by Tracy Goss

Lisa has an amazing history of success in graphic design with some well-known companies such as Pottery Barn Kids, Sephora, Papersource and Gap, but in 2009 she decided to break out on her own and start her own company and had some great success there as well.  But Lisa describes how 2013 was the true beginning of her own personal transformation.  Lisa was introduced to this quote and this book The Last Word on Power by Tracy Goss during her Transformational Life and Leadership Coach training.  Within the book, the author describes the desire for transformation.  It uses the illustration of the caterpillar (your life is ok, but you are desiring more) and when you go into the chrysalis it is a time of vulnerability, darkness, struggle, yet the deep desire is that fact that they don’t want to emerge from the cocoon still a caterpillar!  They long to be transformed and become something totally different from who they were at the beginning.  This is what Lisa does with her clients, as she helps them to discover who they are at their core and then how to brand themselves in their life and business.

Lisa then goes on to explain her own transformation which you are going to LOVE!  Her story is incredible! If you are a high-achiever that rides on the stress of success, you will be so inspired by her personal story of transformation.  This journey greatly influences her mission to help women conceptually see the bright essence of who they are as their true self.  

Lisa is such an amazing transformational mindset coach and personal branding expert, and if you would like to learn more about what she offers or wants to work with her, follow her podcast:  Find Your Clear Vision.  You can also connect with her on Instagram @BeBrightLisa or her website: www.bebrightlisa.com
