Do you know what your true purpose is?

Not your job title or the roles you play for others, but that deeper reason you’re here.

In this episode, I explore why purpose matters so much - and how connecting with it can shift everything.

I’ll never forget my own “3am moment,” lying awake years ago, restless and uncertain about my future. I asked my partner Paul, “What am I going to do with my life?” 

That night, I grabbed a pen and scribbled down what really mattered to me - and it changed everything.

That little list became the foundation for building my dream life and, eventually, inspiring others to do the same.

Here’s what you’ll take away from today’s episode:

✨ Why discovering your purpose is the key to clarity, joy, and resilience.
✨ How your values act as a compass pointing you toward what truly matters.
✨ Simple, small steps you can start taking today to live with more intention.

You’ll also hear about a powerful upcoming workshop I’ll be running inside the Dream Life Coaching Program this October, where I’ll guide you through tools and exercises to uncover and live your purpose.

Life is short - even if we’re lucky enough to live a long one.

You deserve to spend yours with meaning and intention. So grab your journal, take a pause, and join me in this conversation.

I promise you’ll walk away feeling inspired, with practical steps you can take right away toward living your purpose and creating a life you truly love.

As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.    

Have a wonderful weekend …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛

Today I’m joined by the brilliant and very real Lisa Teh - author of Get Real: 30 Stories of Female Founders & Other Lessons in Business.

Lisa doesn’t sugar-coat the entrepreneurial path; she shines a light on the wins, the wobblies and the in-between moments that shape us.

We talk about her unconventional journey from tax law to Witchery’s marketing team, and how curiosity pulled her into building digital agencies in the early days of social media.

It’s a reminder that your first chapter doesn’t define your future - that enthusiasm and initiative open surprising doors - and it could just be your inspiration to find a side hustle or business that's right for you.

We also dive into selling with heart (start with vision and purpose), why embracing “failure” speeds your growth, and the power of simplifying your decisions so you can focus on what matters.

Expect practical wisdom and plenty of energy - plus a fun side note: Lisa converted me to strawberry matcha!😂

If you’re ready to build momentum on your dream or business idea, pop in your earbuds and press play.

And if you want hands-on support, a wonderful learning community and accountability, explore our new Dream Business Book Club here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/businessbookclub - I’d love to help super-charge your effort and cheer you on.

Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week...

Today, we explore Howard Thurman’s powerful call to action - a quote that ignites something within us and encourages a different way to live:

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Here are three key takeaways you can expect from this episode:

1. The transformative power of tuning inward and asking yourself what truly makes you feel alive

2. Three practical steps to begin aligning your daily life with your unique sense of purpose

3. How choosing purpose over perfection can create positive ripple effects for yourself and others

Listen in and discover how living your purpose can energise you, inspire others, and bring you one step closer to your dream life—whatever that looks like for you.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about purpose - how it quietly shapes the way we show up and how deeply it affects our sense of fulfilment.

We often chase productivity, balance, or the “next” milestone… but without purpose, those wins can feel strangely hollow.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple, practical way to reconnect with what matters and start living more on purpose - right where you are.

Purpose isn’t a lightning bolt you wait for; it’s something you create through small, aligned choices.

Listen in and I’ll walk you through three gentle, powerful steps: noticing what lights you up, aligning your daily actions with your values, and beginning exactly where you are - without waiting for perfect timing. 

It'll give you clarity, energy, and a brave nudge forward.

If this resonates, you’ll love diving deeper with me inside DL Coaching - our next monthly theme is Living Your Purpose.

Explore the course and coaching here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/course

Pop your headphones in, take a walk, and let’s get intentional together.

It's your invitation to design days that feel meaningful, not just busy - and to fuel your beautiful dream life with purpose.

Press play and let’s begin...

Today’s episode is a beautiful reminder that creating a life you love doesn’t need to be overwhelming. I’m joined by the inspiring Cooper Chapman - former pro surfer and founder of The Good Human Factory - to dive into the simple daily practices behind his new book, The 1% Good Club, out October 1st, 2025.

Cooper’s philosophy is delightfully doable: give just 1% of your day (14 minutes) to your mental health and watch small, consistent actions compound into a happier, more resilient life.

We talk about how he shifted from chasing external validation as an athlete to living by personal values; the origin of his 1% Good Club community; and ten science-backed habits that anchor his wellbeing - from breathwork and gratitude to getting into nature, moving your body, and setting kinder phone boundaries.

You’ll hear real stories, practical exercises you can try today, and a gentle nudge to focus on progress, not perfection.

Four takeaways you’ll love:
• Why tiny, repeatable actions beat big, unsustainable goals.
• A 14-minute daily rhythm (meditation + gratitude) to reset your nervous system.
• Five foundational values for steadier self-worth: responsibility, gratitude, empathy, mindfulness, and kindness.
• A realistic way to track habits weekly so you can see your progress at a glance.

Pop in your earbuds for a walk, or make a cup of tea, and let this conversation brighten your day.

When you’re ready to go deeper, explore our DL Coaching at https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/course - I’d love to support you to weave these small shifts into your own dream life. Enjoy!

Hi There! 

As I recorded this episode, coffee in hand and a candle flickering beside me, I reflected on something exciting: we have just one quarter left in 2025. 

That means there’s still time - time to reset, refocus and reimagine what’s possible so you can finish the year feeling proud and energised.

In this episode I guide you through the exact process we use inside DL Coaching to plan a powerful final quarter.

We start by moving from overwhelm to clarity with a big, beautiful brain dump - getting everything out of your head and onto paper.

Then we use my favourite reflection tool - Stop, Start, Continue—to decide what really matters.

From there, we choose your Top 3 priorities for Q4 and map them into monthly goals, weekly steps and simple daily actions - and we help you craft a supportive morning ritual and dial in the habits that underpin it all.

It really is transformative.

So if you’d love to do this with me live in September - step by step with worksheets and support - join DL Coaching here: https://www.yourdreamlifestartshere.com/course.

Listen in, take notes, and give yourself this gift of clarity.

Your dream life is built one quarter at a time - let’s make Q4 your strongest yet.
