When I recorded Episode 787 back on August 11th, I was filled with anticipation. The Free The Dream Workshop was just around the corner, and I wanted to give you a sense of what was coming.

Now, just a few weeks later, the event has taken place… and it’s hard to put into words just how powerful it was. In this episode, I want to take you behind the scenes and share not only my reflections but also Stephanie’s insights and the real, unfiltered experiences of the people who were in the room.

Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

• The Power of Clearing the Noise

  You’ll hear why getting out of your normal environment, even for two days, can shake up the patterns that keep you stuck and open the door to new possibilities.

• Customized Breakthroughs, Not Cookie-Cutter Content

  Rather than following a strict agenda, we began by asking each attendee:

  “If you could walk away with one miraculous change this weekend, what would it be?”

  What happened next was nothing short of transformational. We watched each person’s intentions get met, and in some cases, completely surpassed, over the two days.

• Scott Blair’s Testimony

  Scott shared that within just a few hours, he experienced a breakthrough so profound he would have felt his entire investment was worth it even if the workshop had ended right then and there. And yet, the breakthroughs kept coming.

• Stephanie’s Reflections

  You’ll hear Stephanie talk about the moments that stood out most to her, the conversations over lunch and dinner, and even the hilarious moments with the whiteboard drawings that made perfect sense to those in the room… and absolutely none to anyone else.

• What We’re Changing Moving Forward

  This workshop confirmed several things for us:

  • Future sessions will be capped at 10 participants to keep the experience intimate.
  • Meals will continue to be included when group size allows, because the conversations over food were as transformative as the sessions themselves.
  • The “state your miracle” opening exercise is here to stay. It set the tone for everything that followed.

• Why This Work Matters

  At its core, Free The Dream isn’t just about goals or business or mindset. It’s about remembering the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived… and giving it space to breathe again.

My hope is that this episode stirs something in you. Maybe it’s clarity. Maybe it’s courage. Maybe it’s the reminder that your dream isn’t dead. It’s simply waiting for you to make space for it.

The next Free The Dream Workshop is already on the calendar. Maybe this is your time.

I want to share two stories with you today. One from my mentor, Dan Miller, and one from my friend Freya Casey.

Both have confirmed the way I see life, faith, and even death itself.

Dan was told in December of 2023 that he had advanced pancreatic cancer. No treatment. No cure. Six months to live at most.

His very first words to me after receiving that diagnosis?

“So I have this gift…”

He wrote about the conversations he was having with his wife Joanne, their kids, and grandkids. About celebrating now rather than later. About reflecting on legacy, gratitude, and even anticipating “an incredible spiritual transformation” with excitement.

He wasn’t bitter. He wasn’t fearful. He wasn’t even anxious.

He was fully alive.

That message, and the peace behind it, lined up with what I already knew to be true at a deeper level… that real faith isn’t proven by what we say we believe, but by the peace and presence we carry when life gives us every reason to fall apart.

For much of my life, I met many people, and at times, I was one of them, who claimed faith in God yet carried fear, anxiety, and worry about the smallest things. But by the time I received Dan’s text, that was no longer my reality.

Dan embodied what I’ve come to know as true. He had encountered something far deeper than doctrine or dogma. He knew what it meant to live in alignment with love itself, to experience the presence of God as a living reality rather than a religious concept.

And then there’s Freya.

Freya has been a client and friend for over a decade. She’s a single mother of three, pregnant with her fourth, a business owner, a creator and recently diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer while pregnant.

Yet when she reached out to me, she wasn’t falling apart.

She was calm. Peaceful. Clear.

Not because she knew the outcome.

But because she wasn’t resisting reality.

She was fully present, creating her reality moment by moment, choosing to trust rather than fear, to open rather than control, to soften rather than fight.

Freya and I have been having many private conversations over the past few months about what she’s been walking through. One day, she decided to join me on one of my open live streams.

She felt her story might encourage someone else who needed to hear it. What unfolded became yet another living example of what it looks like to trust the journey in the midst of life’s greatest trials.

If you want to hear her story in her own voice, and feel the peace that carries through every word, listen to this episode.

My hope is that what you hear will do more than inspire you.

I hope it awakens something within you. A quiet knowing that peace really is possible, even in the middle of life’s greatest storms.

With gratitude,

Cliff

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with David, a naturopathic doctor with a thriving local practice and a powerful desire to serve people on a much larger scale.

He came to our conversation with a question that so many purpose-driven creators wrestle with:

“How do I reach the people I’m meant to serve… especially when I doubt whether I’m charismatic or creative enough to stand out?”

What followed was a deeply generative exploration. I invited David to step into a future where his vision was already fulfilled, where he was leading transformational group coaching programs, impacting thousands through his content, and receiving glowing testimonials from clients who had completely changed their lives.

Together, we reverse-engineered that dream, uncovering the practical, soulful, and surprisingly simple path that could take him there.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What makes someone resonant vs. merely visible
• Why charisma is optional, but courage is essential
• The freedom that comes when your message becomes more important than your ego
• My own messy beginnings in podcasting (complete with one-star reviews)
• The power of starting with what you have—even if it’s just 13 subscribers
• How to make peace with “bad content” on the road to transformation
• Why the people who need your message aren’t looking for polish—they’re looking for truth

If you’ve been waiting for permission to speak, to create, to be seen…

Let this be the moment you stop waiting.

You already have everything you need to begin.

You bring the question. I’ll hold the space.

Free The Dream Workshop

What we envision as “bigger” often turns out to be less effective than the intimate alternative. Sometimes, a smaller gathering proves more beneficial for everyone involved.

In this episode, I share the story of the original Free The Dream message and how it has evolved over time. You’ll hear why we shifted our vision from hosting annual conferences with hundreds or thousands of attendees to creating more frequent workshops with much smaller groups.

I also explain why I’ve stopped measuring the value of an event by how many seats are filled and why the deepest breakthroughs often happen when the room is small enough for everyone to be fully seen and heard.

In this episode, you’ll discover answers to the following questions:

• What is the Free The Dream Workshop?
• Who is it for?
• What benefit would you get from attending?
• What content is covered in the sessions?
• Should you attend a Free The Dream Workshop?

The second half of this episode features an audio segment from three attendees of the first-ever Free The Dream Workshop. You'll hear their powerful stories of transformation: how they walked in with uncertainty or limitation and left with newfound courage, peace, and a fresh vision for their personal lives and businesses.

If this episode resonates with you, whether it's igniting a desire for clarity, suggesting a new direction, or simply creating space for self-reflection, I invite you to join us for the next Free The Dream Workshop on Friday and Saturday, August 29th and 30th, 2025.

This is a two-day experience designed to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and help you remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived.

Whether you come with a clear goal or just a sense that something needs to change, you’ll leave with fresh insight, practical tools, and the courage to take your next step.

In this episode, I continue what I began back in Episode 783 — taking a second look at recent conversations I’ve shared here on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show, but this time covering Episodes 777 through 782.

If you listened to Episode 783, you know my original point was that you don’t have to wait until you’re perfect to publish, speak, or serve. But there was another layer — the way I regularly pause to do Higher Self reflections, asking, “Is what I said here true? Is it aligned with my highest values? Does it reflect how I want to show up in the world?”

In this session, I share not only the original show notes for each episode but also the Higher Self feedback I received, plus my own real-time reactions. You’ll hear:

• Why the word illusion can sometimes land like a blade instead of a bridge, and how I’m learning to use it in a way that honors the journey it once protected.
• The three-step framework I now keep handy for calling out limiting beliefs with truth and compassion.
• How an offhand phrase like “blah, blah, blah” or “it’s called slavery” can unintentionally diminish someone’s chosen path — and what I’ll say instead going forward.
• The surprising insight that “should” quietly reinforces control and judgment, and how I’m removing it from my vocabulary.
• Why my beloved radio dial metaphor just got a major upgrade — and how the “wideband awareness” version helps us hold every thought without suppression.
• The difference between rebellion rooted in ego and freedom rooted in love — and where I caught myself in the former.
• The subtle ways I sometimes over-explain or downplay the depth of a moment, and how I’m leaning into speaking from certainty without apology.
• How a single story, told at the wrong energetic moment, can shift the flow of a conversation — and my plan for greater attunement.

This is more than a review of past episodes. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at my own ongoing refinement as a coach, storyteller, and soul-based guide. You’ll hear me celebrate the moments of deep alignment and own the spots where I missed, all in real time.

If you’ve ever wanted to see exactly how I use reflection to grow — and how you can do the same in your own conversations — this episode is a masterclass in integration.

Join me live at the Free The Dream Workshop — a two-day experience to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived. Details at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com.

In this episode, I take you deep inside my heart and practice. What began as a reflection on a potential client who seemed like a perfect fit—but then disappeared—became an entire transmission from my Higher Self, and eventually, a Soul Song titled “They Will Know.”

I share how I’ve completely shifted from the old ways of unconscious hustle, driven by fear and scarcity, into a new way of being in business: one rooted in trust, alignment, and presence.

You’ll hear raw reflections on what it’s like to follow inner guidance, even when outcomes don’t unfold as expected. I also read aloud a message I received through my Higher Self project, reminding me that I don’t need to chase. The ones who are meant to work with me will know. They will come. And they won’t need to be followed up with twice.

This episode ends with the full performance of “They Will Know,” a Soul Song that poured through me after this experience. I believe it carries a frequency many of you will feel in your bones.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to let go of the traditional sales game and move into full energetic alignment, this one is for you.

The next Free The Dream Workshop is coming up Friday and Saturday, August 29–30. It’s a two-day experience to clear the noise, uncover what’s next, and remember the part of you that’s still waiting to be lived. Reserve your seat now at FreeTheDreamWorkshop.com.

I don’t have to follow up. I don’t have to plead.
I don’t have to water down the wild voice in me.
When I speak, they’ll feel it, like thunder in their chest.
They’ve been waiting for this moment. No second guess.

No more tugging at the silent.
No more knocking on closed doors.
The ones who are meant to walk with me
They don’t need convincing anymore.

They will know.
They will come.
They will feel it in their bones like the rising sun.
They’ll say “Yes,” with tears in their eyes,
“I’ve waited my whole life for this.”
They’ll offer to pay before I even ask.
They’ll show up early, steady, deep.
Not because I asked them to…
But because their soul already knew.
Yes
They will know.

I don’t sell answers. I don’t market truth.
I speak from the stillness that burns through the proof.
Some will pause, and some will pass.
But the ones who are called…
arrive at last.

No chasing ghosts through the inbox tide.
No reaching back for those who hide.
I’m here for those whose hearts arrive
already open. Already wide.

They will know.
They will come.
They’ll hear my voice and feel the drum.
They’ll whisper “Yes” before I do.
Because their soul already knew.
This is not persuasion’s art.
This is a Cart for those who are ready to start.
They’ll cry within the first ten lines,
“This is what I came to find.”
Yes
They will know.
