When Your Dreams Get Too Tight: How to Break Up with Smallness and Redefine Reality

Season 5 Episode 25

On today’s episode, we’re diving deep into what it feels like when your dreams start to feel like that favorite sweater that’s gone through the dryer one too many times—tight, itchy, and just plain wrong. Meg Thompson is here to spill the tea on why this happens, how to stop clinging to outdated dreams, and what it really takes to step into your expansive self. Here’s what we’re unpacking:

  • Why Your Dreams Feel Like They Shrunk in the Wash
    Learn why outgrowing old dreams is a sign of growth, not failure, and how to gracefully let go of what no longer fits without spiraling into an existential crisis.
  • Reality is Optional, Babe
    We’re flipping the script on what’s “realistic” and redefining what freedom and abundance look like on your terms.
  • Navigating the Awkward Gap Between Who You Were and Who You’re Becoming
    There’s a chasm between letting go of the old and embracing the new, and it can feel like you’re free-falling. We’re talking tips, tricks, and mindset shifts to help you make peace with the in-between.
  • Bitter Medicine and Sweet Harvests
    Not every seed you plant is gonna taste like candy. Sometimes, the fruits of your labor are a little… bitter. And that’s okay. Discover how to use those less-than-sweet moments as compost for your next big leap.

Tune in and get ready to break up with smallness. Your bigger, more authentic self is waiting!
