    #416 - IS 2026 GOING TO BE YOUR YEAR?
    Dec 4 2025
    As we edge towards a brand-new year, I want to ask you a simple – but deeply powerful – question: Is 2026 going to be your year? Not just a “pretty good” year, but a year you consciously design. A year where you stop postponing your dreams, get clear on what truly matters, and begin living a life that feels meaningful and aligned for you. In this solo episode, I’ll guide you through a gentle but honest reflection on where you’re at now - and who you want to be by the end of 2026. We’ll slow down together, breathe, and really consider: What do I want more of next year? What do I want less of? What are my top three dreams for 2026? I’ll walk you through a simple future-visualisation (you, at the end of 2026, feeling proud and alive), and then we’ll turn that into three powerful focus dreams for the year ahead. Not 20. Not 101. Just three - because three creates clarity, focus and momentum. If you’re feeling a little stuck, a bit on autopilot, or just ready for a fresh, intentional start, this episode is your invitation. Pop your headphones on, grab your journal, and let’s start making 2026 your year - by design, not by default. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. …and remember, it all starts with a dream 💛 KK x Dream Life & kikki.K Founder P.S.

    Nov 20 2025
    Welcome back to another episode! Today, I’m sharing something really close to my heart - a collection of 25 reflections and journaling prompts that came to me over the weekend while I was journaling, thinking, and gently reviewing the year that’s been. I love this time of year because it gives us a natural pause… a moment to sit with our thoughts, look back with compassion, and reconnect with what matters most as we step into a new year. In this episode, I’ll guide you through each reflection - from the power of putting pen to paper, to recognising what gives you energy, to embracing fresh starts, tiny actions, meaningful habits, and courage. These are the exact prompts I used myself, and I hope they give you the clarity, grounding, and inspiration you may be craving right now. Here are four takeaways you can expect from today’s episode: ✨ A clearer understanding of what truly matters to you✨ Practical, heart-opening prompts to help you reflect & reset✨ Tools for reconnecting with your dreams and wellbeing✨ A gentle roadmap for stepping into a meaningful and intentional 2026 Whether you’re listening at your desk, on a walk, or curled up with a cup of tea and your journal, I hope this episode feels like a warm exhale - a moment just for you. If you’re ready to create a year that feels aligned, intentional, and beautifully yours, press play. There is something in this episode for you… and I can’t wait to share it.

    #411 - Monday Motivation: "Every action that is easy to do is also easy not to do and that’s the difference between success and failure."
    Nov 16 2025

    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 Jeff Olson's powerful Slight Edge philosophy about how simple daily actions shape long term success:

    'Every action that is easy to do is also easy not to do and that’s the difference between success and failure.'

    Three key takeaways you can expect:

    1. How small, simple actions compound into extraordinary results over time.

    2. Why neglecting tiny habits creates the opposite compounding effect.

    3. How to identify and commit to one easy action that moves you closer to your dream life today.

    Take this opportunity to learn how to build momentum through consistent micro habits that genuinely shift your life trajectory.

    As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.

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

  • #410 - TURNING LIFE'S HARDEST MOMENTS INTO HUMAN WISDOM, with Casey Beros

    #410 - TURNING LIFE'S HARDEST MOMENTS INTO HUMAN WISDOM, with Casey Beros
    Nov 13 2025
    Caring for someone you love when they're going through a significant is one of the greatest privileges of a lifetime - and also one of the hardest seasons you will ever walk. In this episode, I sit down with award winning health journalist and author, Casey Beros. Casey’s latest book, Next of Kin - What to Expect When You’re Expecting to Care for Someone You Love, was born from her deeply personal experience caring for her beloved dad through a terminal diagnosis of mesothelioma. Our conversation is raw, honest, practical and full of heart. We talk about what really happens behind the scenes when someone you love becomes seriously ill, and how to keep showing up with love without completely burning yourself out. Here are just a few of the beautiful takeaways waiting for you: Why there is no “person with the clipboard” - and how to step into your role as an advocate in the medical, legal and emotional side of care, even if you feel totally unprepared. Simple ways to care for yourself when you have “no time” - including Casey’s brilliant micro habits approach that takes just one minute at a time. How to talk about death, grief and the “after” in a healthier way, including what Casey learned from death walker and educator Zenith Virago. A powerful reminder not to wait for “one day” to live your dream life, book the trip and enjoy the people you love while they are still here. Whether you are currently a carer, you love someone who is, or you simply want to be better prepared for life’s inevitable seasons, this episode will hold your hand and gently nudge you into action.

    #409 - Monday Motivation: “There is nothing impossible to him who will try.” - Alexander the Great
    Nov 9 2025

    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 the wisdom of Alexander the Great and his timeless reminder:

    2. Why 'realistic goals' can hold you back from the extraordinary life you deserve.

    3. How to shift your mindset and build momentum toward the big, bold dreams you’ve been afraid to chase.

    Listen in and discover how to make progress toward your dream life by taking small, courageous steps that bring you closer to what truly matters most.

    As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonated most with you - so please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here.
