Welcome to the very first episode of Dreaming & Doing, a podcast designed to inspire and empower individuals to take action on their biggest dreams. I'm your host, Melissa Wesner—a therapist, entrepreneur, and fellow dreamer who is passionate about helping others unlock their potential.
In this episode, I delve into the essence of Dreaming & Doing, offering insights into what inspired this podcast, what listeners can anticipate, and a bit about myself. This episode is a call to all the big dreamers and doers out there, and it’s your personal invitation to join us on the journey of Dreaming and Doing!
Let’s get started!
Thanks so much for joining me on the Dreaming & Doing Podcast! I’m Melissa Wesner, and I am soo glad that you’ve found me here!! This podcast is for people who are big on dreaming AND action taking!! This isn’t called the Dreaming and Doing Podcast by accident. A lot of people talk about going FROM Dreaming to DOING, but that wasn’t quite what I was going for here. The idea of going FROM dreaming to doing indicates that the DOING is where it’s at, and as an avid dreamer, I didn’t want dreaming to get a bad rap. I absolutely LOVE dreaming!! It’s exciting, imaginative, and filled with possibilities, and it’s often the starting place for our big ideas that CAN become reality! So, on this podcast, know that the value of dreaming is one that is recognized and GREATLY appreciated! Doing is great. That’s also in the title for a reason, but I wanted to be clear that dreaming AND doing TOGETHER are a dynamic duo!!
It’s possible that we haven’t met yet, so while you’re here, let me introduce myself! I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor who is the founder of a group counseling practice in Baltimore County, MD. What most people probably don’t know about me is that I am a BIG dreamer. Leave me alone for just 5 minutes, and I’m off in space thinking about something. My partner tells me that my brain never stops working, and it’s always been this way. Growing up, my mom would say things like, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too,” and I would tell her that’s the silliest quote I’ve ever heard. Who in the world wants to have cake and not eat it?
So…know that we won’t be engaging in limited thinking here on the podcast. This is a have your cake AND eat it too kind of a place.
In fact, my hope is that this podcast will be a place where you feel inspired, a place where your big dreams are understood and encouraged, and a place where you feel a sense of community with other big dreamers who want to pursue the things that are most important to them too. I hope that you’ll be inspired as you listen to our guest’s stories. I’ll be interviewing some amazing entrepreneurs and wellness experts who are pursuing their own dreams and who have great insights to be shared with all of us along the way!!
As a therapist and entrepreneur myself, you can trust that we’ll be talking about pursuing our dreams without burning out and while keeping life in balance.
If you’re a big dreamer who likes to take action, know that you’re in the right spot!! I hope you’ll keep hanging out with me for weekly episodes that inspire dreaming And doing (and of course, we’ll be talking about the bumps that can come up along the way too). As we spend more time together, know that I would LOVE to hear about episodes that have inspired you and led you to take action!!
We’re just getting started!!
