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 Ep03: Stop Putting Off Your Dreams for “One Day”

We’re likely all guilty of putting our dreams off for “one day.” We say things like,

“One day I’ll…”

“When I have more time I’ll…..:

“When I have more money I’ll….”

“When the kids are older I’ll…”

When we do this, we delay pleasure, and we put off meaningful experiences with the very basic assumption that we will have that “one day.”

In this episode, you’ll be encouraged to:

  • Recognize the lines you use for delaying the pursuit of your dreams

  • Recognize that putting off your dreams for “one day” is risky business

  • Consider ways that you can begin taking action on your dreams now!

You’ll also hear a very personal story that made this lesson hit home for me this past year!

S01 Ep02: Don’t Let the Doubters Discourage You

Not everyone will understand your dreams, and not everyone will believe in you or your ability to achieve your dream. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t dream it or pursue it!

In today’s episode, we’ll be talking about:

  • Reasons people sometimes have difficulty dreaming

  • Factors that cause people to experience doubt in themselves and in others’ ability to achieve

  • Strategies you can use to ground yourself and overcoming your own self-doubt

  • Steps you can take to surround yourself with other big dreamers

  • And, my favorite personal experience in dealing with a doubter

Use others’ doubt to drive your dream!
