Your Dream Life with Kristina Karlsson, kikki.K

This week I had the absolute joy of chatting with the incredibly grounded & inspiring Magdalena Roze — and what a beautiful conversation it was. If you don’t already know Magdalena, she’s a meteorologist, journalist, author, passionate foodie, and a true master of living intentionally. But what I adore most about her is the way she blends ambition with authenticity, showing us all how to live a full, meaningful life that’s also deeply soulful. In this episode, we talk about her journey — from national television in Sydney to building a slower, more purposeful life in Byron Bay. She shares how she transitioned careers, faced uncertainty with courage, and allowed her passions to guide her toward a new version of success. Here are four powerful takeaways you can expect from our conversation: The magic that happens when you don’t take no for an answer — and how to gently persist toward your dreams. What it really feels like to leave a successful career and completely reinvent yourself. How to blend creativity, family, and community into a deeply fulfilling life. Why slowing down doesn’t mean doing less — and how to create space for clarity and creativity. Magdalena’s warmth and honesty will leave you inspired, especially if you’re standing at a crossroads or dreaming of something new. Tune in, soak up the inspiration, and dream. ✨ As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Welcome to a deeply personal episode. I’m opening up about something that has profoundly shaped my life – freedom. Not just the idea of it, but the raw, powerful freedom to choose. The kind of freedom that comes from doing the inner work, from dreaming boldly, and from aligning your daily life with your truest values and passions. I take you right back to the moment that sparked it all – a 3am conversation with Paul when I was just 22, lost and unsure, with nothing but a pen and a blank piece of paper. That night, I wrote down my dreams for the first time, and something inside me shifted. I didn’t have the answers, but I had a vision. And I realised: that’s where freedom begins. In this episode, you’ll discover:

I'm excited to bring you today’s conversation — one that I know will deeply resonate with so many of you. Have you ever felt like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel — running, juggling, hustling — yet still feeling like you never have enough time? That constant pressure to do more, earn more, achieve more? Well, what if I told you there’s another way? In this episode, I chat with Lloyd J. Ross, author of Become Time Rich, who has made it his life’s work to intentionally step off that treadmill and design a life filled with freedom, peace, and true wealth — not just financial, but time wealth. Lloyd’s story is fascinating. From starting out as a lawyer to moving into property development, entrepreneurship, investing, and ultimately creating multiple income streams, he shares how he discovered that freedom is far more valuable than simply chasing money. And how living intentionally allowed him to design a life where he works when and how he wants, enjoys time with loved ones, and builds businesses that work for him — not the other way around.

I’m so excited to share this week’s episode. It’s something close to my heart – a simple but powerful ritual I call Inspiration Fridays. Years ago, when my kids were in primary school, I started making my Friday mornings sacred. I’d go to their school assembly (which were always full of courage, creativity and pure joy), then I’d treat myself to coffee at a beautiful Melbourne café, often with a friend or mentor – or just my journal. These moments sparked ideas, filled me up, and reconnected me with what really matters. It became my way of hitting the reset button. Every week. Like many things, this beautiful ritual faded during COVID – but now that I’m living my dream life in stunning Sydney, I’ve brought it back… and it’s better than ever. In this episode, I’m sharing the full story and giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how I create time for inspiration every week. Whether it’s a beautifully designed café, a Pilates class, or a peaceful nature walk, I’ve made it non-negotiable to fill my cup – and I want to inspire you to do the same. In this ep, you’ll learn: Why filling your cup is not a luxury – but a necessity. How to create your own version of Inspiration Friday. Simple journaling prompts to help you reconnect with what energises you. The magic of aligning with your values and why that changes everything. If you’re ready to feel more like you, then grab your journal, tune in, and let’s dream big – one Friday at a time
