What Dreamers Do
Hi, I’m Carla Gover, an Appalachian musician, flatfoot dancer, mama, and DREAMER from Kentucky. I'm on a mission to share fierce love, good humor, and inspiration to help you live a life of creative freedom. I decided to start the What Dreamers Do Podcast to help answer the question: How can we use our gifts and talents to build a better world, and have fun along the way? You’ll also find musings about Appalachia as well as interesting conversations with songwriters, poets, dancers, educators, world-changers, social justice warriors, and other people like you who are working to make a difference using their art, their skills, or just the way they live their lives. On every episode, you’ll hear ideas, conversations, and actionable items to help you unlock your creativity and live your purpose. Grab a mason jar full of sweet tea (or something a little stronger) and pull up a chair, cause it’s time to get YOUR dream on!

On Gratitude (and Hot Baths)
Gratitude is something we often talk about in November in the US, but I truly believe it's important to cultivate all through the year.
In this episode, I tell some stories about how growing up in Appalachia and also my experiences interacting with people from other cultures have shaped my ideas about abundance, lack, and the importance of appreciating what we have.
I truly believe that dwelling in gratefulness is one of the "magic superpowers" of creating a life we want and getting in alignment with our souls.
From recounting the day Big Mommy got indoor plumbing to sharing the story of Juanita and the Tortillas, I get personal about moments that have helped me be more grateful in my life.
