“Dreaming is good. That space is where you can live the best version of yourself and your most vibrant life.”

In this episode, Mike Zaccariello shares how coaching helped him rediscover his dreams and find the courage to chase them. A certified Dream Manager, military veteran, and pediatric neuropsychologist, Mike once resisted the idea of coaching. When he finally gave it a try, everything changed.

He opens up about leaving a 17-year career to start his own practice and learning to lean into resistance instead of avoiding it. Mike also reflects on The Dream Manager Program and how it’s allowed him to become a better therapist, deacon, and husband. His story is a reminder that coaching doesn’t just help with professional growth, it helps people live more intentional lives.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why coaching is essential for personal and professional growth
• How dreaming helps you overcome fear and resistance
• The ripple effect of living with purpose and intention
