For Sara, it is not about the money or starting a side-hustle; it is about serving and...2024-06-1017 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 115: Your Purpose Doesn't Need to be Your CareerIn this episode, Sara shared some “ah-ha’s” that she had recently as she has been serving on the board of One Tough Cookie, a non-profit that is on mission to support those battling cancer as well as the caregivers with care packages.  Her involvement in a recent fundraiser spurred her to experience some deep fulfillment that is alignment with her purpose.   Maybe you can relate to Sara who once believed that her career had to be in alignment with her purpose, which at times, left her feeling frustrated and lacking zeal.  This involvement with a local n...2024-05-2716 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 110: An Overwhelmed Mind says NO!We dive into the feeling of overwhelm in this episode and this is a welcomed reminder to us at Wake Up & Dream so we hope this episode resonates with you as well!    When tackling an overwhelming task - try breaking it down into smaller piece or achievable action items!

She noted that from age 26-46, we are most influenced by our co-workers and work community.  If you are interested in listening to her podcast, you can check it out here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mel-robbins-podcast/id1646101002?i=1...2024-03-1121 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 101: Hitting the Slopes! Facing your fears with your kids watching!In today’s episode, we get up close and personal with Sara on fears around snowboarding! Because of a broken arm she got her first season, Sara has been carrying around in her subconscious mind the fear of going too fast and falling. She enjoys ski season each year but feels like she’s missing out on some of the fun because of her fears. BUT…..not this year!     Maybe you don’t have a fear of skiing fast or falling, but our guess is that you do have something that causes anxiety and fear in your min...2024-02-1921 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 99: Do you like or hate SHOPPING?Ok, we seriously need to hear from YOU on this topic, because in today’s episode, we took a topic that is familiar to all of us, and dug into our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs around the activity of shopping!  Yep, this was such a fun discussion, because as Sara and Lisa shared their past thinking around shopping, they soon discovered that Kelly had the very opposite belief!  Amazing how the same task or experience can be approached in a totally different way because of what we are speaking to ourselves and what we are feeling and believing about it.2024-02-0523 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 98: 2024 Word of the Year or Not?Did you pick a “Word of the Year” for 2024?  This is the lively topic we tackled in today’s episode.   We always want to encourage you to do what works best for you!!!  Picking a word might just help to keep you focused and growing!  Kelly and Lisa both shared how their “word of the year” has been much better than doing resolutions, and really helped them to stay in awareness and unlock their potential and purpose.  Sara suggested putting your word of the year on your wall, and perhaps even words you have used in the past to remind you of w...2024-01-2931 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 95: Parenting with a PauseTo continue our discussion around the topic of awareness, Sara focused on how one tool has helped change some of her parenting approaches.  This tool we all learned in our Life Coach mindset certification program.  It is what has been named, “The Model.”  The basic premise is that we often can not control our circumstances, but we can control our thoughts and feelings, and that ultimately determines our actions and our results.  It all starts with becoming AWARE of our thoughts and feelings.  Our thoughts are often on auto-pilot and they become so habitual that we may even believe we are si...2024-01-0819 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 93: Let’s Chat Everything Routines!In today’s episode, we had a lively discussion about routines.  It was in some ways a review of the last 3 weeks.  We want to encourage you to embrace routines “your way.”  If that is a morning routine, an evening routine, or a routine that you start doing with your family. Do it your way! Lisa challenges the notion of routines with the notion of perfectionism.  Oftentimes, we don’t start a new routine because we believe we will not be able to be perfect at it, or be successful at it.  Sara and Kelly encouraged us to become awa...2023-12-2621 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 92: Start Your Day with this QuestionHow do you start your day?  We have been talking about creating a morning routine, and Kelly and Sara have shared some ideas in the last 2 episodes.  Today, Lisa takes a different angle with morning routines and encourages us to start the day with a question.  Before your feet hit the floor and your “to-do” list crowds in on your mental space, take a moment to take a deep breath, allow your body to relax, and ask yourself these questions: How am I doing?  How am I feeling about today? What can I do today for myse...2023-12-1820 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 91: Find a Habit Tracker that Lights You Up!In today’s episode, Sara takes a new angle on Morning Routines, as she shares something she has been using to stay focused, consistent, and motivated with her goal to exercise!  She shared her Habit Tracker and described how each day that she exercises she get to pick a different marker color and color in one box in the block letters spelling the current month!  She uses this as a way to hold herself accountable.  Here are a few highlights: Remember to find a tracker that “lights you up!”  This is key as it is more about your thoug...2023-12-1118 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 90: Start your Day with Gratitude!So much magic happens when you establish a “morning routine.”  In our last episode, we shared how “nothing changes if nothing changes,” and this is true.  You can create something new in your life by finding a little time in the morning for YOU!   In this episode, Kelly shared how starting a morning routine of  gratitude helped her in the middle of her battle with depression because of her unexplained secondary infertility.  During that time, she found Rachel Hollis’ journal on gratitude, and began to wake each day with gratitude for the little things that went well the d...2023-12-0418 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 89: Desires Energize You into Action!In this episode, you hear a lively discussion from all 3 of us on desires!  Here are some of the key points we shared: You first need to make the decision to change what you want out of your life and yourself.  Do you want to stay stuck where you are right now?  You have to DESIRE the change and then make a decision to do just that:  create a DESIRE for something new.  “Nothing changes if nothing changes.” Desire is not the answer, it is the fuel!   Desire helps you take ACTION, and TAKING ACTION fuels the...2023-11-2719 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 88: How Desires Impact your FamilyAre you stuck because you believe that your desire has to be some BIG idea that is linked to your life’s purpose or your job or occupation?   What if part of your desires are already very much a part of what you do and stem from the core values you hold dear?   In today’s episode, Sara takes a different angle on desires.  She shared how giving back has always been very important to her and her family, and recently that has been lived out with her connection and participation with an organization called One Tou...2023-11-2015 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 87: Lisa: Desires are in Your Heart not Your HeadDuring the last 90 days of 2023, we want to take a deep dive into what is behind our goals and dreams.  In today’s episode, Lisa shares more about desires as it relates to life and our goals and aspirations.   Key points: Desires are not goals, though they are the motivation and “fuel” that keeps us moving towards our goals and taking action. Desires are not your to-do list, not the tasks or expectations of ourselves or other’s expectations of us.  Desires are not selfish!  We were each born with unique...2023-11-1318 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 86: Listen to that Voice inside, Kelly shares about Desires!In today’s episode, we heard from Kelly as she shared more about how to achieve your goals by really getting connected with your desires.  What is a desire?  Kelly defined it as a strong feeling of wanting something or wishing for something to happen.  A true desire is deeply connected with your feelings, but we know that as busy moms, employees, business owners, it can be a challenge to even find the time to connect with what it is that you really want.  To get in touch with our desires, Kelly encouraged us to get quiet, really listen to the...2023-11-0621 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 85: Keep Connected to your Goals: Feeling is the SecretAre you writing your goals every day, yet it seems to not be working? Are you saying your goals on a regular basis yet they seem to fall flat?  We were created to connect our thinking mind, our feeling heart, and our body.  And so our goals need to evoke our mind, heart, and body!    In today’s episode, Sara and Lisa shared how important it is to evoke emotion when repeating your goals, to stir your positive feeling when you imagine your future self with your goal achieved. Our goals need to be connected to our...2023-10-3017 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 84: Keep Connected to your Goal: Using your ImaginationWe use our imaginations all the time!  Maybe you can’t remember the last time you used your imagination.  Perhaps the last time you really felt like you used your imagination was when you were a child.  But the truth of the matter is we are ALWAYS using our imagination, either for our good or not our good.  When we ruminate about the “what ifs” of a situation, we are using our imagination.  When we envision all the things that might go wrong, we are using our imagination!   Why not instead, start using your mental energy using...2023-10-2318 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 83: Keeping your goals in focus: The power of repetition!Lisa shared how she has been re-invigorated to write her Now-Goal 50 times a day!  This is not an academic to-do but more of a calming form of meditation which in turn energized her.  Writing her goals 50 times a day has become not a burden but something she looks forward to doing every day.  She has fallen in love with repetition and the idea of expanding her thinking and stretching her faith to believe in things that are far beyond what she has done in the past.  Auto-suggestion is when our conscious brain is suggesting a habit, routine, belief, etc. to o...2023-10-1616 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 81: Your Last 90 Days of 2023Are you waiting until the start of the next year to set your new dreams and aspirations?  Why are you waiting?  In today’s episode, your Wake Up and Dream girls are ready to make the last 90 days of 2023 ELECTRIC, and we want yours to be the same!  Don’t wait!  Instead of saying, “ONE DAY, I will do this or that,” make today DAY ONE.  See the difference in mindset and attitude?  Start writing down what it is that you want your life to look like 90 days from today?  How will you feel?  Envision you with your goal achieved?  How a...2023-10-0218 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 80: Anxiety, Part 2: A follow up!Anxiety is a real part of many of our kid’s lives, especially as they head back to school.  In today’s episode we did a “follow up” and checked in on how Lisa and Sara’s kids are now doing one week later.   In this episode, we covered: Gratitude for the “tools” the kids found within the school system. Teaching our kids to advocate for what they need and tap into the resources available to them. The emotional “W” and how to support your child during the emotional rollercoaster, but a...2023-09-2521 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 79: Helping Your Child with AnxietyWe mommas play a special role in our children’s lives, and they don’t come with a manual.  In this episode we get raw and real about our own kids and anxiety.  With the start of school, I think all kids experience some level of anxiety.  It’s hard.  And every child is different and we need to approach them based on their personalities and natural bend.    How we show up for them is so important, and they feed off our confidence.  Part of our job is to coach our children to work through these uncomfo...2023-09-1820 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 78: Falling in Love with RepetitionLast week we talked about the value and importance of creating routines, and today we took that discussion to the next level in talking about having a big, bodacious goal/dream and creating a “Now Goal” that becomes the central focus of your morning routine and throughout your day!   Lisa shared how she has been re-invigorated to write her Now-Goal 50 times a day!  This is not an academic to-do but more of a calming form of meditation which in turn energized her.  Writing her goals 50 times a day has become not a burden but something she loo...2023-09-1122 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 77: Wrestling with RoutinesEver feel like you are wrestling with your routines, trying to get the “stick,” establish routines that work for you and your family?   Well you are not alone!  We got you!   During today's episode we dove in and talked about the challenges of routines, especially during certain seasons of life, like being a new mom or having the kids home and on different schedules for the summer.  That is life, and it can definitely be frustrating, especially if you are someone that likes routines and order.  Here were the highlights from this episode: Allow for...2023-09-0417 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 76: Use Your ToolsRecently, Lisa was hiking in Colorado while on vacation, and she reflected back on how important it was for her hiking success to use her tools.  The tools she had access to were her hiking sticks, canned oxygen (didn’t know it was a thang!), and of course her knowledgeable friend that also had the All Trails map downloaded for our reference.  In this episode, Kelly and Lisa shared how important it is to “know what your tools are,” not only when in crisis, but also while on vacation or doing your everyday life.  Our “tools” may be physical resources or...2023-08-2822 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 75: Is Fear of Criticism Holding You Back from Your Dreams?Raise your hand if you answered YES to this question!  We see you.  We are right there with you, wishing it wasn't’ the case, but so often we allow our fear of criticism to stop us from pursuing our dreams, our passions, and this keeps us feeling stuck and unfulfilled!   In this episode, we took a raw and real look at why we “hold back” from talking about our dreams, our journeys, our struggles, our desires; why we “hold back” from showing up and taking action as our authentic self.  We care too much about what people mi...2023-08-2116 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 74: Symptoms of Lack of PersistenceDo you have goals and passions but have not taken action to “make them happen?”  Did you hit a disappointment or perceived failure and now feel stuck there?  This episode spoke to all 3 of us even as we were recording it. We dove into a section in the Chapter called “Persistence” in the book Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill.  Sara and Kelly shared how they have been feeling like they have not been taking action in the pursuit of their dreams, and feeling stuck in what to do to get rid of that feeling. Here are...2023-08-1419 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 73: Child-Like Faith; Believing with Eager AnticipationHave you been struggling to believe something will come true in your life?  Are your thoughts and beliefs actually working against you?  In today's episode, Sara shares how she put one simple mantra into work first in her mind and then in her actions.  During her recent trip to Italy, there was a train that went on strike, so they were not able to use their tickets, but didn’t get a refund.  And Sara made the decision to step out in belief that this money would be refunded to her, and it was!  She took action in alignment with he...2023-08-0716 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 72: Mama GuiltMama guilt is a real thing!  Whether you feel guilty for spending time away from your kids or feel guilty that you are not spending enough time with your kids, mama guilt can be a big weight on your shoulders.  But does it just come with the territory, or can we choose to think differently.   In today’s episode, our goal is to encourage you to create goals and give value to setting time aside for people connections.  We are made for connection.  Add connecting with certain people to your “to-do” list and choose to feel good about that. ...2023-07-3118 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 71: Growing your BeliefEpisode 71: Growing your Belief   We started off today with a Bob Proctor quote, “You don’t have to know how.  You just have to believe you can.”  Isn’t that the truth?  When we believe it will be done (and step out in faith/ belief it is already done) then the “how” will present itself.     That is what this episode is all about.     Lisa shared how she had been reinvigorated to write out her “now goals” and tape them to her bathroom mirror, and repeat them  several times a day, evoking the fe...2023-07-2424 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 70: Time to Reset, Restart or Refocus?Have you reached a goal recently and now wonder what is next?  Or have you been so busy with the “to-do’s” of family, parenting, job, etc. that you have forgotten about your own passions, desires, and goals?  If so, this episode will inspire you and remind you that you can always pause, reset, restart, and refocus on the things that matter most to you.   In today’s episode we encouraged our listeners to get back to “your roots” meaning, get back to getting quiet and listening to your thoughts, feeling, desires, and aspirations.  Get refocused on wha...2023-07-1724 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 69: Core Values, Part 2 Key Questions to Ask YourselfIn this episode, Lisa coaches both Sara and Kelly on questions that aid in helping them to discover and narrow in on what matters most to them based on past experiences in their life.  You can do this exercise through journaling or even using a voice memo app, but we modeled how a coach can play a role in reflecting back to you some of the key words you used and possible core values.   Here are the 3 questions Kelly and Sara were asked: What were some moments in your life that brought you th...2023-07-1028 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 68: Core Values, Part 1: What Matters Most to YOU!Maybe you have heard the words “core values” but do you know what your core values are, or the purpose of having core values?  In this episode, we introduced this valuable tool to help us discover and live aligned with what matters most to us! Lisa shared that being involved with a direct sales company first introduced her to dreaming and asking herself, “What is your WHY?”  This got her thinking beyond her present existence, but over time, the question lost its power, becoming trite and overused.  Since then, Lisa has taken several Core Values Assessments and has found t...2023-07-0323 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 67: Sara’s Travels, Part 3 Italian Adventures with Picco the Penguin!If you have been following this series, you have learned how Sara went from feeling overwhelmed, worried, and full of mom guilt to Sara doing the inner work we love to talk about, and it resulted in her anchoring her thoughts and emotions on one word: Excitement!   In this episode, Sara shares how by doing this inner work of shifting her thoughts and emotions prompted some incredible “flow” and creative ideas for things the boys could do while mom and dad were away, but how one little stuffed animal, name Picco created such incredible excitement and c...2023-06-2624 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 66: Sara Story, Part 2: How the word Excitement Made all the DifferenceIf you haven’t listened to Episode 65, we would encourage you to do so, as this is really Part 2 of a 3-part series where we have been getting a sneak peak into Sara’s life.   In Episode 65, Sara shared how she shifted her thinking around her upcoming trip to Italy with her husband.  Before, she was filled with feelings of anxiety, worry, mama guilt, and all the things.  But doing this inner work allowed her to shift her thinking and therefore shift her emotions around this trip, and ultimately created the results that she desired.  It is such a magical...2023-06-1917 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 65: Sara’s Story, Part 1: Shifting from Anxiety to ExcitementIt is so rewarding to see in someone the shifts because they are open to thinking new thoughts and feeling different emotions.  When Sara and her husband got married in Italy, they promised to make a return trip to celebrate their 10-year anniversary.  And that time has now come, but with it has come a lot of anxiety and fear, especially thinking of leaving their 7 year old twin boys for 10 days.     Sara gave us a up-close-and-personal look into the anxious thoughts and feelings of overwhelm that were plaguing her last month.  But Sara did not allow...2023-06-1224 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 64: Treat Yourself to a Retreat!Have you ever been on a private retreat?  Scheduled a weekend away for just “me, myself, and I?”  Checked into a hotel room for an overnight by yourself?   As a busy woman, mom, wife, employee, business owner, etc, we often forget to “refuel.”  Some of us “refuel” by spending time with people, yet some of us “refuel” by being alone.  The point is this:  we need to prioritize and create opportunities for us to “refuel” so that we can reflect, re-think, return to our true thoughts and beliefs, and feel centered and grounded again.  In this episode, Lisa shares h...2023-06-0536 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 63: What if You Release the Timeline?What if we allowed ourselves to release the timeline?  When we are so focused on the goal or the destination, we can miss all of the lessons, growth and memories that could happen on the way to the end goal.  In today’s episode, we take a closer look at the value of releasing the timeline on our goals, expectations, and dreams. Sara shared how expectations set by society and the academic benchmarks can add unnecessary pressure on kids to be successful and extra pressure on moms to make sure their kids are meeting these benchmarks.  And in th...2023-05-2922 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 62: Are you stuck in a fish tank?In this episode, we had fun with an analogy comparing our life to a baby shark living inside a fish tank.  Sara had read a LinkedIn article, shark-growth-theory-raman-dua and it said this, “Did you ever think what will happen if we grow a shark in a fish tank, will it still grow the same size. Nope, it’s not like that , a shark will grow not more than 8 inches if you put it into a tank and the same shark will grow 8 feet in the ocean . The shark will never outgrow its environment and the same is true about you...2023-05-2226 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 61: Release and Surrender, Part 2Today we took a look at emotions as it relates to release and surrender.  Oftentimes we have been taught or believe that certain emotions are good and others bad.  We tend to judge our emotions.  But what if we instead saw our emotions (all of them) as a gift, a way for us to release and surrender the things we are holding onto.   We see this release beautifully in nature, through rain.  These “tears from heaven” serve a purpose, as the clouds get too heavy and need to release the moisture.  It is necessary for growth and vital to th...2023-05-1526 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 60: Release & Surrender = Truly LivingAre you holding onto thoughts and feelings that are full of worry, fear, or “what if’s?”  In today’s episode, Lisa shares how learning how to let go of the things that she couldn’t control became magnified during her cancer journey.  Anxiety and fear gripped her and left her feeling totally out of control, and ultimately brought her to a place of surrender.  Can you relate?   It is a natural instinct to want to control the outcome or situation, but the truth is that we can’t control much of what happens in life, but we CAN...2023-05-0832 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 59: New Job means New Habits & Identity? Or Not?This episode is in response to one of YOU, our valued listeners.  This listener is starting a new job and wanted advice on how to NOT take old thoughts and habits into her new job environment.  Here are some tips from our chat around this topic: It all starts with your “inner work” of visualizing who you want to be when you show up in this new job.  Journal about it, write a script detailing how you want it to go, and then FEEL how it is going to feel when you show up, adding value to the com...2023-05-0122 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 58: Be Kind first to Yourself! YOU Matter!Sara started us off by sharing that she has had a tough week and came to this recording session “just not feeling good about herself” and all the things!  Kelly was quick to remind her of what was printed four times on the sweatshirt she was wearing:  Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind, Be Kind.   Why is it SO easy to be kind to others, to offer a kind word of encouragement to someone else, to have a positive thought about others and yet that same kindness is NOT given to ourselves.  Yikes!  That is a big “ah...2023-04-2424 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 57: Celebrating ONE year!We are celebrating ONE year as a podcast!  Yahoo!  So much has happened in the last year, and so much growth has taken place inside of each of us!  Never did any of us envision that when we met in person for the first time in November of 2021 that we would be podcast hosts, but here we are!   We are celebrating taking imperfect action and allowing the “path” to unfold right before our very eyes!  We are SO grateful for YOU our listeners!  We hope that you have been inspired to “wake up” and start pursuing the t...2023-04-1722 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 56: Take the Risk; Burn the Boat!On a scale from 1 to 10, where would you rate yourself if asked if you were a risk-taker?  In today’s episode we took a closer look at our comfort level with “stepping outside the box” and taking risks.  Sara shared how she saw herself more as a risk-taker in college and the years to follow, and how having a family has caused her to feel like she needs to consider her kids and family when making decisions (which is of course a good thing) but that is has also hindered her risk-taking in some ways. What influences whether...2023-04-1025 minWake Up and Dream!Wake Up and Dream!Episode 55: Why Wait til you Retire? Start Living NOW!Have you fallen prey to the thinking, “I just have X amount of years to hang in there until retirement.
