When Did You Stop Dreaming for Yourself?
Released On Aug 25, 2026
Season 3, Episode 21
How do you stop putting yourself last, rediscover your dreams, and become the woman you truly want to be? In this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores why so many busy, overwhelmed women lose themselves in everyday responsibilities and how small, intentional changes can help you reconnect with yourself, build confidence, prioritize your needs, and create a life you actually want to live.
You’ll be guided through a powerful exercise using a childhood photo to reconnect with the dreams, desires, and possibilities you may have pushed aside along the way. Then, instead of trying to completely change your life overnight, you’ll discover how one small action today can begin shifting your identity and moving you toward the future version of yourself.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- Why women so often put themselves and their dreams last.
- How to reconnect with what you truly want from your life.
- A simple childhood-photo exercise to help you dream again.
- How small daily changes can build confidence and create lasting personal growth.
- Why becoming your future self starts with the choices you make today.
You don’t have to wait until life slows down, you have more time, or everything else is taken care of. Your dreams still matter, and becoming the woman you want to be can start with one tiny decision today.
If you’re craving more encouragement, connection, and meaningful relationships, you’ll also want to learn more about the brand new women’s community.
