The Reclaim Marathon is a special mini-series for Ordinary Talks with Extraordinary Women, featuring a collection of short, 10-minute conversations with women who offer honest reflections on what it means to reclaim yourself in everyday life.

Each episode explores reclamation in a different way—energy, presence, creativity, identity, boundaries, joy, or simply the space to breathe again. There’s no single definition here, because reclaiming is deeply personal and often shaped by the season you’re in.

These conversations are brief by design, yet rich in insight. Think of them as gentle pauses—small moments of clarity and connection you can return to whenever life feels full or noisy.

Whether you listen to one episode or move through the entire marathon, my hope is that you’ll hear something that reminds you:
this part of you still belongs to you.

Welcome to the Reclaim Marathon.

What if your dreams aren't just random nighttime wanderings, but a profound mirror reflecting your deepest consciousness back to you?

In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Grace Boda - spiritual guide, practitioner, and dream work pioneer - to explore the transformative power of presence and the hidden wisdom within our dreams. Grace takes us on a journey that began with a life-altering experience at age six, one that opened a doorway to lifelong spiritual exploration and a radically different way of seeing reality.

At the heart of this episode is Grace's powerful distinction between two ways of being: the "mastery-seeking mind" that craves control and certainty, and the "mystery-seeking mind" that embraces the unknown and allows transformation. Rather than treating dreams as puzzles to be solved with generic interpretations, Grace invites us to engage with them as living symbols—dynamic, personal, and endlessly unfolding.

Beyond dreams, Grace offers practical wisdom for cultivating unshakable inner peace in our chaotic world. From simple meditation practices to the transformative power of awe, she illuminates the path to accessing the wellspring of wisdom that already exists within each of us.

Key Takeaways:

Dreams as a Mirror of Consciousness – Your dreams aren't random noise; they're consciousness reflecting itself back to you, unfiltered by the constraints of waking life.

Mastery vs. Mystery – Learn to recognize and balance the rational, control-seeking part of your mind with the part that's drawn to wonder, transformation, and the unknown.

Symbols Over Signs – Discover why dream dictionaries fall short and how to engage with dream images as living, evolving symbols through active imagination and dialogue.

Creating a Worthy Vessel – Why healing past wounds, integrating emotions, and reconciling relationships creates the inner capacity to hold expanded awareness without being pulled off-center.

Growth Through Challenge – Why life's most shaking experiences often become our greatest teachers, revealing who we truly are beneath the surface.

In this relaxed, yet soul-stirring conversation, designer and artist Kelly Lynch opens a window into her world—a place where instinct, beauty, and connection weave together to create a life rich with meaning. Kelly shares how trusting her inner compass has carried her across continents, from Europe to New York, and into projects that marry curiosity with courage.

With two newly released non-fiction books, Kelly reveals her creative process as one rooted in play—not as a luxury, but as a way of life. She speaks of her love for handmade objects, the weight and texture of paper, and the timeless ritual of books, reminding us that beauty isn’t ornamental—it’s essential nourishment for the soul.

At the heart of our exchange is connection: to family, to friends, to community, and most importantly, to oneself. Kelly’s wisdom is simple yet luminous—play, connect, stay curious. These are not just creative tools, but life practices that reignite excitement and joy, even in challenging times.

🌿 Key Takeaways

• Trust Your Instinct + Embrace Play: Life doesn’t have to be scripted. Follow your intuition, experiment, and let playfulness guide you.
• Connection is Everything: Real relationships—with people, with beauty, with your own truth—are the heartbeat of a meaningful life.
• Find Beauty in the Handmade: Whether it’s a tactile book, an object crafted with care, or your own creative work, beauty grounds us and lifts us simultaneously.
• Stay Curious + Step Outside the Familiar: New perspectives and new experiences are where life begins again.
• Use Technology Mindfully: The more we untangle ourselves from screens, the more space we make for genuine connection.

• Tosha Silver’s Books – gentle guides for truth-telling and lightening the mental load.
