You had a dream once. Maybe you still do — buried under “being realistic,” other people's opinions, and the quiet voice that says “who do you think you are?”
In this episode, Stephanie and Maren share their own stories about dream killers — both the external ones (threatened bosses or co-workers, well meaning parents, etc) and the internal ones (our own fears and doubts, the stories we tell ourselves).
If you've ever talked yourself out of something big, felt pressured by someone else's success, or quietly put a lid on your own potential to stay comfortable — this one's for you.
There’s a truth you may not realize: you cannot have a longing that doesn't already exist in your future. Your dream is there for a reason. The challenge is continuing to choose it.
That’s what today’s episode will help you do – find the support you need to claim your dream and stop the dream killers.
🙌 If this episode stirred something in you — a dream you've been sitting on, a longing you've been dismissing — we want to hear about it.

✍️ Here’s a great question to consider this week: If no one in your life would ever know what you chose, what would you choose?
Content note: This episode includes open conversations about self-doubt, playing small, and the emotional weight of going after your dreams. Approached with warmth, humor, and a whole lot of heart.*
