70 | The Hidden Gift of Boredom (and What It’s Trying to Tell You)
What if your boredom isn’t a problem to fix but an invitation to wake up?In this episode, I explore the quiet wisdom hidden in those dull, restless, in-between seasons — the ones where life feels fine, but flat. From doom-scrolling to divine stillness, I share gentle insights on how boredom can become a mirror, a motivator, and even a midwife for your next dream.Here's what we cover in the episode:- What boredom really is (and why we resist it)- The two roads of boredom — distraction or discovery- The four layers of boredom: mental, emotional, creative, and spiritual- Why stillness is the birthplace of creativity and long-term visionIt’s a warm, thought-provoking conversation about slowing down, listening in, and letting boredom do its quiet, transformational work.

68 | Existing vs Living: Why Self-Awareness Is the Missing Key to Your Dreams
You’re not stuck because you lack ambition. You’re stuck because you may be chasing dreams that don’t truly belong to you. Without self-awareness, even the most exciting goals can leave you drained, going through the motions, existing instead of living.In this episode of Dream In Action, I share why self-awareness is the underrated key to building a life that feels like yours. I open up about my own journey—growing up in survival mode, shutting down my inner world, and slowly learning to embrace who I really am. And I’ll walk you through why self-awareness is your compass, how it makes failure survivable, and how it keeps you honest with yourself and the people around you.By the end, you’ll have two simple but powerful practices you can use this week to start living, not just existing.👉 Grab your free Dream Discovery Kit here:
