Podcasts about Dreamer

Today we're looking at the flip side of saying yes and what it tends to mean for our empathetic, big-hearted selves.

This episode dives into the gap between dreaming and truly leading. Anyone can dream. A visionary builds, executes, and brings the dream into reality. We talk about how to shift from ideas to action, what separates high-level leaders from wishful thinkers, and how to become the kind of person who makes things happen instead of hoping they happen. Perfect for entrepreneurs ready to step into their next level. LMN Webinar Demo — Saturday, December 13 Go "Under The Hood with Brian's actual LMN account.

Jiffer Bourguignon und Ingo Zamperoni hatten am Wochenende ein "Friendsgiving". Auf dem klassischen Thanksgiving-Treffen kommen Freunde aus der ganzen Welt zusammen und sprechen auf der Party des Tagesthemen-Moderators auch über die politische Entwicklung in den USA. Während Millionen Amerikaner ebenfalls das Fest der Familie mit Freunden genießen, erleben sogenannte "Dreamer" die Feiertage in Unsicherheit. Es geht um Menschen, die als Kinder illegal in die USA gebracht wurden und jetzt täglich mit einer Abschiebung rechnen müssen. "Das war wahrscheinlich das schlimmste Thanksgiving ihres Lebens", sagt Jiffer über das Schicksal von Any Lucia Lopez Belloza. Die 19-Jährige wollte ihre Familie in Honduras über die Feiertage besuchen und wurde jetzt abgeschoben. Die Studentin lebte bereits seit ihrem siebten Lebensjahr in den USA; Honduras hatte sie seitdem nicht mehr besucht. "Eigentlich soll das ein Tag sein, an dem Familien zusammenkommen – aber für viele ist es eine Zeit der Angst", bringt Jiffer die widersprüchliche Stimmung auf den Punkt. Unterdessen übt Trump weiter Druck auf den venezolanischen Regierungschef Maduro aus, die Regierung in Caracas spricht von einer „Aggression“ Washingtons. Droht ein Krieg zwischen beiden Staaten? ARD-Hörfunkkorrespondentin Anne Schneider in Washington schätzt die Lage im Gespräch mit Ingo Zamperoni ein. __________________________________ Und hier wie versprochen die Zutaten für die "Arkansas Sweet Potato Marshmallow Casserole" 6 große Süßkartoffeln 3 Eier, Größe L 1 1/4 cups/300ml Milch 1/4 cup/60ml Bourbon Whiskey 1 1/2 cups/330gr Rohrohrzucker 1/2 TL Salz 1 TL Zimt je 1/2 Tl Muskat, Nelken, Ingwer, gemahlen 2 Tl Vanille-Extrakt 1 Paket weiße Marshmallows Die Süßkartoffeln abwaschen, trocknen und mit einer Gabel einstechen. Auf einem mit Backpapier ausgelegten Backblech bei 220°C Ober-/Unterhitze oder 200°C Umluft ca. 45 bis 60 Minuten backen, bis sie weich sind. Etwas auskühlen lassen. Die Süßkartoffeln halbieren und das Fruchtfleisch von der Schale trennen und in eine große Schüssel geben. Die Süßkartoffeln mit einem Kartoffelstampfer stampfen. Den Süßkartoffel-Brei mit allen anderen Zutaten (bis auf die Marshmallows) vermengen und mit einem Handmixer solange aufschlagen, bis die Masse fluffig und leicht ist. Falls nötig, etwas mehr Milch hinzugeben. Die Mischung in eine Auflaufform geben und ca. 20 bis 30 Minuten bei 180°C Ober-/Unterhitze oder 160°C Umluft backen. Die Marshmallows halbieren, dicht an dicht auf dem Süßkartoffel-Auflauf verteilen und noch einmal kurz backen, bis die Marshmallows anfangen zu schmelzen und braun zu werden.

If you've got something coming up that feels insurmountable, then today on The Daily Pep! I'm sharing a story from my own life that I think might help.

Today I've got a deceptively simple question for you!

If you're feeling lost, or need a reminder of who you are - today I've got just the thing for you!

If it feels like your dreamsh*tter is well and truly zoomed in on every single tiny mistake, then this episode is for you.

If you've been here for a while, you know my whole focus is on returning to the roots of a path—an integrated, no-nonsense approach that actually holds up in the modern world. This conversation with Clarissa Gunawan goes straight to the core of a practice we're all doing anyway, every single night: dreaming. We move well beyond the new-age, "superhero powers" version of lucid dreaming I experimented with in my twenties, and land firmly in the grounded, embodied terrain of Daoist dream work. Clarissa lays out why this isn't abstract or esoteric fluff; it's a non-negotiable tool for self-realization, for recalibrating the day, and—ultimately—for preparing for a "good death." We dig into the massive cultural blind spot around dreams and why getting your view right is the most important part of the path. If you're ready to dissolve the imagined split between day and night and start perceiving your inner landscape with real clarity, this episode is for you.   Key Takeaways for the Integrated Human [00:00:50] The Power of the Innate Dreaming is as natural as breathing. In Daoism, the best practice is the one you already do—dream. If you think you don't dream, you're just not catching them yet. [00:03:30] The Hun, The Po, and Peter Pan Syndrome We explore the Hun spirit and Po souls in Chinese medicine, and how imagination in the dreamscape creates experiences that are real in their impact, regardless of what science can measure. [00:17:50] The Primacy of "View" Your view of reality—linear and material or circular and interconnected—determines the outcome of your dream practice. Ego-driven views create controlling dreams; Daoist views allow relaxation, non-duality, and true realization. [00:11:37] Beyond Lucid Dreaming Instead of chasing ego-boosting lucid dreams, the Daoist path is about relaxing into the dream to realize your true spirit and self-arising nature. [00:02:45] You Are Your Own Expert The core practice is simply writing your dreams down—every day. This builds your personal dream dictionary and symbolic language unique to you. [00:30:30] Ancestors, Deities, and Symbols Ancestors, sages, and deities often appear as powerful symbols that help you perceive deeper layers of your genetic and evolutionary path. [00:33:00] The Dreamer as Authority Dream work is a shamanic path where you are the ultimate authority. Universal symbols exist, but your consistent dream log becomes the map of your unique cosmology.   Practical Engagement Start a Dream Log: Get a journal and keep it by your bed. Write down the first thing you remember upon waking—a feeling, a color, a single word. Every morning, without fail. This is the simple barrier to entry. Examine Your View: Before you go to sleep, take a moment to reflect on your foundational view of reality. Are you approaching this as a linear, material quest for self-improvement, or as a circular, non-dual path of realization? The intention you set will shape the dream. Prepare the Body: As Clarissa points out, stop eating heavy food late at night (no 11 PM pizza!). Give your organs a rest so your dreams are about spirit and path, not just digesting salami.

Send us a textA working trip to Mexico City turned into a bold idea: serve the soul of Mexican food with plant-based craft so good that non-vegans line up for it. We sit down with co-owner Regina Simmons to trace how Tacotarian grew from a teased opening to six busy locations across Las Vegas and San Diego, all while keeping flavor first and labels second.Regina breaks down the playbook: position as plant-based to lower the barrier, design a menu that delights both meat-memory seekers and veg-forward purists, and build a commissary that safeguards consistency, controls food cost, and cuts waste. From seitan techniques for carne asada and al pastor to jackfruit birria that holds its own, every item is engineered to taste right before it reads right. That approach fuels a surprising stat—about 70% of guests aren't vegan—and that's exactly the point.We also get into the real engine behind the brand's momentum: community-first marketing, roles with clear ownership, and a service culture that empowers fixes in the moment. Regina shares how Good Morning Kitchen leverages a second-generation space with breakfast, cocktails, and nighttime commissary production, why franchising starts close to home, and how distributor alignment and ingredient parity shape expansion. Plus, a look at their growing retail line bringing birria and barbacoa jackfruit to grocery shelves. It's a masterclass in building a resilient restaurant brand in a tough market: lead with flavor, scale with systems, and earn trust one guest at a time.If the story resonates, follow the show, share this episode with a friend who loves great food, and leave a review so more people can discover these Vegas-grown insights.

Today sassy Meg is back! In today's episode we dive back into how our inner critic really, truly is a liar.

Around here we love novelty and new, shiny things. But sometimes what we really need to embrace is our own tried and true messy ways.

We can often be haunted by the ghosts of projects past, and create stories to trick ourselves into thinking we're people who don't get things done. But we are! 

Send us a textIn this episode of Thoughts of a Dreamer, I explore one of the biggest challenges I face as a creative and a visionary: the tension between the excitement of a big idea and the discomfort of the small steps required to bring it to life. I talk openly about how easily I can expand a single thought into a fully imagined future within hours, while the reality of actually starting still feels intimidating and slow. I share how that leap from imagination to action exposes a deeper emotional truth—small steps often feel vulnerable, tedious, or even beneath me, especially when the fantasy in my mind feels so complete and effortless.Throughout the episode, I break down why dreamers like me get attached to the final vision and avoid the early stages of execution. I explore the discomfort of beginner energy, the fear of judgment, the impatience with slow progress, and the safety of staying in my imagination where nothing can go wrong. I ask the questions I've had to ask myself: Why do the small steps feel threatening? What am I protecting by staying in the fantasy? What internal beliefs make the process feel overwhelming or discouraging?By reframing small steps as essential parts of the creative journey rather than obstacles, I remind myself—and anyone listening—that big dreams are built on consistent, incremental growth. I also guide listeners toward a practical next step: returning to the seed of their vision, choosing one small action to take, and noticing the feelings that arise when it's time to move from dreaming to doing.This episode is for anyone who has ever been stuck between inspiration and execution, who has ever felt paralyzed by the gap between the idea in their head and the work required to bring it into reality. My goal is to help you understand your own creative patterns, confront the limiting beliefs that hold you back, and begin building momentum toward the dream you keep imagining.

We're kicking this week off on The Daily Pep! with an important reminder.

This week we're in a sea of transformation. The Grand Water Trine between Sun, Jupiter, and Saturn deepens emotional wisdom and soul maturity. Mercury retrograde dives back into Scorpio for revelations that rewrite the story. The New Moon in Scorpio seeds new emotional intelligence for the next cycle. The Sun moves into Sagittarius, light begins to rise from the depths—invite clarity, perspective, and renewed faith in the journey. Beneath it all, Uranus and Neptune continue their slow journey to shape the dream of a new world.Nov 17–19: Sun in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in PiscesThe heart of the Grand Water Trine brings flow between transformation (Scorpio), faith (Cancer), and spiritual maturity (Pisces). These three archetypes create the cauldron where emotional growth stabilizes into inner authority. Reflection question: Where can I trust that what has dissolved is already reshaping into a wiser form of strength?Nov 19: New Moon at 28° Scorpio + Mercury retrograde in ScorpioThe New Moon joins the Water Trine, seeding renewal in the hidden chambers of psyche. With Mercury retrograde returning to Scorpio, perception turns x-ray sharp—unspoken truths surface, secrets seek cleansing, conversations go to the root.Reflection question: What truth am I ready to hear within, so new life can begin to form from honest ground?Nov 19–21: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio opposite Uranus retrograde in Taurus and trine Neptune in PiscesThe Trickster Messenger faces the Awakener across the axis of security and change while receiving a visionary signal from Neptune. Expect flashes of insight and intuitive downloads that challenge comfort zones. Reflection question: Where is life inviting me to think in entirely new ways about what stability really means?Nov 20 Sun conjunct ☿ Mercury retrograde in ScorpioThe heart of the Mercury retrograde cycle—when the Sun and Mercury meet, a new four-month story of consciousness begins. Reflection question: What fresh truth is being born from the ashes of my old storyline?Nov 20: Uranus in Taurus sextile ♆ Neptune in PiscesThe Innovator and the Dreamer collaborate again. This second of five sextiles (2025–2027) dips back into Earth–Water review: how the physical world and emotional patterns are evolving to carry visionary potential.Reflection question: How can I ground my most imaginative longings in forms that nurture both soul and soil?Nov 21: Sun enters SagittariusAfter the underworld immersion, the Sun steps onto higher ground. Sagittarius light ignites perspective, humor, and faith after the descent.Reflection question: How does seeing the larger pattern free me from the weight of the past?Nov 22: Mercury retrograde in Scorpio trine Jupiter in Cancer and Saturn in PiscesThe Messenger reviews lessons with the Wise Ones. Thought meets empathy (Jupiter) and discernment (Saturn), revealing emotional intelligence born from experience.Reflection question: What understanding am I ready to live, not just think?Podcast poem: Tobar Phadraig by DSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation. At the edge where technology meets myth, I choose insight over noise, and alchemy over automation. Thank you for dreaming the future with me.

There will always be people who don't get you, or why you make the decisions you do. This is a good one if you need a reminder that you get to do life your way - and that's ok.

Today's episode is inspired by our road trip back to the UK! We're focusing on how there are times in life where we need to avoid doing what others feel is the most exciting thing ever, and take our own needs into consideration, even if it's a bit dull.

In the Northern Hemisphere we're approaching the darker months, which can be challenging. So today I'm sharing a fun community challenge to find some silliness in this season.

What happens when they have a pattern of ending things as they are getting serious? We're talking to our guest Steve Budd about his continued search for "The One" and how his struggles with commitment have ended numerous serious relationships despite him wanting to get married more than anything. We're discussing wanting a relationship vs. having the capacity for one, the fall out of how Dreamer tendencies can get ahead of themselves in relationships, and how to preserve hope as you date through your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond.Follow Steve @buddgram and learn more about his performances: https://www.stevebudd.com/Take the Dating Archetypes quiz now: https://howtobedateable.com/HOW TO BE DATEABLE IS OUT!

Environmental author Brooke Williams believes that dragonflies are messengers of wisdom and enlightenment.
