About the Podcast
Our dreams inspire, excite, and light us up, and Melissa Wesner, is here to help you tap into that excitement and turn it into reality.
This podcast is for the big dreamers, action takers, and pursuers of a life well-lived! It’s for the people who want to dream big dreams and pursue them without sacrificing their well-being. While we might not be able to share our dreams with everyone (more on that later), this podcast is intended to be a place where you can seek inspiration and tap into your own big ideas! It’s the place for people who want to dream AND do.
As a licensed counselor, entrepreneur, and avid dreamer, Melissa Wesner understands the process of turning dreams into reality. She also understands how easy it is to put your own well-being on the back-burner.
She’s now convinced that the messages we’ve received about hard work and effort don’t always serve us. Instead, you’ll hear her talking about the connection between our self-care and well-being and our success and business strategy.
You can expect weekly episodes and guest interviews with inspiring entrepreneurs who know more than a thing or two about pursuing big dreams. You’ll also hear from health and wellness experts who will introduce us to the many ways that we can pursue wellness to benefit our personal and professional lives.
If you’re a big dreamer who wants to take inspired action in your personal, professional, or business life, you’re in the right spot!

S01 Ep29: Achieving Your Goals with Healthy Boundaries with Michaela Langley, LGPC
You might be wondering about the connection between setting boundaries and pursuing your dreams, but setting boundaries (with yourself or others) just might be one of the actions you need to take in order to successfully pursue your goals.
In this episode, you’ll learn about:
The connection between boundaries and pursuing your dreams
Boundaries you might need to set with yourself or others
A way to re-think boundaries if you’re afraid that setting boundaries means “being mean.”

Networking is about relationship building, and despite our best efforts, relationship building is not always what happens after attending networking events. In this episode, you’ll get to listen in on my conversation with Jeff Borschowa whose entire business has been built around building authentic professional relationships. He’s also big on Tech and has some big ideas on AI and ways that it can be used….you guessed it….authentically!

Reasons traditional networking doesn’t always work (despite our best efforts)
Building authentic professional relationships
Meetings Jeff is willing to get up at 2 AM for
