#46: Start Dreaming Again: A Mini-Workshop to Rediscover What You Really Want Artwork

The Distracted Dreamer

Get ready to confidently and unapologetically go after dreams! Welcome to The Distracted Dreamer Podcast.

Today is the day you’re going to pull your dreams off the shelf and bring them to the forefront of your life. You are never too tired, too busy, too old, too young, too anything to pursue your dreams.

Imagine… the joy and excitement of doing what lights you up. Your dreams are yours. No one gets to take them from you and no one gets to chase them - except you. Your dreams are there to guide you, to inspire you and to show you that yes, there is something more in store for you.

You see, the size of your dreams don’t matter - it could be running a marathon, reading a book series, perfecting that family recipe, traveling the world, or learning to dance.

I’m Carlene Bauwens, entrepreneur, Life Coach and now host of The Distracted Dreamer podcast. I’m here to show you how to kick distraction to the curb and grab hold of your dreams. Your happiness matters. You have a big, beautiful, amazing life to live. And you've only got one of them. Welcome to the Distracted Dreamer Podcast.

Start Dreaming Again: 3 Gentle Steps to Rediscover What You Really Want

Here’s the thing no one tells you about “figuring out your dreams”…
You don’t actually think your way there.
You feel your way back.

This episode isn’t about setting goals or chasing productivity.
It’s a gentle, coaching-style mini-workshop designed to help you wake up the part of you that still wants something — even if that something feels blurry, buried, or completely out of reach right now.

I’ll walk you through the exact reflection process I used to uncover three dreams I didn’t expect to name — and share how AI (yes, really) can act like a personal coach when you use it in the right way.

You’ll also get access to the free companion guide:

Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or just unsure what’s next… this episode is your invitation to come home to what lights you up.

3 TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE
1️⃣ You can stay close to a dream without doing anything about it yet — connection is a form of progress.
2️⃣ The process of dreaming again can be as healing as the dream itself.
3️⃣ Your most meaningful dreams often start by noticing what tugs at your heart (not what makes the most sense on paper).

🎧 If you've been wondering what you want — or if you’re even allowed to want something more — this is your safe space to remember what you want.
