If you’ve got a dream or idea you want to bring to life but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking, or bullsh*t - this book is for you.

What if the thing holding you back from your dream isn’t lack of clarity, strategy, or discipline - but the way you’re fighting yourself in the process?

In this powerful, honest, and long-overdue sister riff, I’m joined by my most-loved podcast guest (and actual sister), GenGen (Genevieve Woods) - co-creator of the two most listened-to episodes in Dream Makers Podcast history.

Together, we explore what it really takes to move from having a vision to becoming the kind of creator who lives it now.

This conversation weaves deeply into the core message of my book Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t - because one of the biggest forms of bullsh*t we face as creatives is overthinking, self-doubt, comparison, and trying to do things the way we think we should.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why identity matters more than strategy
  • How to stop fighting yourself and start trusting yourself
  • Letting go of control, “shoulds,” and hustle pressure
  • Doing business and creating in a way that actually fits your life
  • Recognising all the ways you’re already living what was once the dream
  • Courage, self-trust, and staying with the vision through uncertainty
  • Turning ideas into reality — including the journey of birthing a book

This episode is for you if:

  • You’ve got a dream, vision, or creative project calling you forward
  • You feel stuck between knowing what you want and actually living it
  • You’re done forcing yourself into strategies that don’t feel aligned
  • You want permission to trust yourself and create from your own rhythm

Key themes:
Identity ¡ Trust ¡ Becoming ¡ Courage ¡ Heart-led business ¡ Creativity ¡ Essentialism ¡ Letting go of control ¡ Living the dream now

If this episode stirred something in you, consider sharing it with one person - the friend who’s been quietly (or loudly) talking about a dream they want to make real.

More dreamers supported = more Dream Makers in the world.
