5 Simple Yet Powerful Ways to Speak Life Into Your Dreams
We all have big dreams. It’s kind of a package deal with being born on this planet as a human. And I believe those big dreams are within us for a reason.
We want to see the world with our kids because we want to build memories that last a lifetime.
We want to start our own businesses so that we can free up time to be with our families.
We want to write our own books because we want to leave a legacy of truth and light and love.
Here at Togetherness Redefined, we’re all about acknowledging the big dreams inside of ourselves - and inside of the people we love - and speaking life into them.
Making a plan.
Gathering strength and courage and resource to make it happen.
Watching the dream come to life.
So, I sat down with someone who spoke life into one of my dreams when I met her back in 2015 - Kristen Noel, co-founder and co-creator of Best Self Magazine - to talk about how to speak life into our own dreams - and into the dreams of our children.
In the interview, we cover it all -
Vision.
Validation.
Being seen.
Overcoming obstacles.
Journaling to defeat our fear.
Paying attention to our desires.
Tackling insecurity.
Finding our voice.
Growing the confidence we need to show up in the world.
Building connection with the people we love.
Leaning into the right timing.
Gaining determination to making things happen for ourselves and our families.
And, we unpack these 5 Ways to Speak Life into Your Dreams:
#1 - Do not become less; it does not help you give more.
#2 - Own your story.
#3 - Find someone to encourage you.
#4 - Speak life into someone else’s dream and take your own advice.
#5 - Give yourself time daily.
As well as a tried and true strategy from Kristen for speaking life into our kids’ dreams with “Messages from Your Mama”.
You have to hear about this in the video - it’s how she connected deeply with her son for the 30 days just before he left for college.

Here are a few of my favorite moments from the interview:
“Remember: The way we hold our dreams, our passions, and our desires is what we’re modeling for our children.”
“You’re only going to figure it out by doing it.”
“If I were to advise someone now, I would kick them in the butt and say GET GOING NOW. Don’t wait as long as I did.”
“There is no magic wand. You just have to do it.”
“Wayne Dyer always said don’t die with your music still in you. I agree. Don’t die with your writing still in you.”
“The only thing to be afraid of is not doing it.”
