Episode 96: What Dream Have You Put on Hold?

Have you ever had a dream that wouldn't quite leave you alone?

Not a fleeting idea. Not a New Year's resolution. A dream that keeps quietly tapping you on the shoulder, year after year, even as life gets busy.

In this solo episode of It's a Mindset, Emma explores why so many women put their dreams on hold while they focus on everyone else. From careers and caring responsibilities to being the "good girl" and meeting expectations, it's easy to lose sight of what we truly want.

Emma shares her own journey of following dreams that once felt impossible - leaving a 25-year corporate career, writing an award-winning and bestselling book, launching a podcast, travelling the world, hosting sound healing events, and now finding herself drawn towards a new possibility: yoga teacher training.

This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect and ask yourself a powerful question:

What dream have you put on hold?

If you've been feeling restless, stuck, unfulfilled, or like there's something more waiting for you, this conversation is for you.

As Emma shares in Worthy & Wealthy, true abundance begins with understanding who you are, what you want and having the courage to take the next step. And perhaps your next step starts today.

 Key Episode Takeaways:

• Why so many women put their dreams on hold while prioritising everyone else's needs

• Why your next chapter doesn't need to be dramatic to be meaningful
• Three powerful questions to help you reconnect with what you truly want
• Why permission, support and accountability are often the missing ingredients for change
• How to recognise when you're ready for your next chapter

Journal Prompts

Take some time to reflect on these questions:

✨ What dream have I put on hold?

✨ Why did I put it on hold?

✨ What would happen if I finally gave myself permission to pursue it?

✨ If nothing changed over the next five years, how would I feel?
