What if the dream that was right for your last season isn't the dream for your next one?

In this episode of Dreamers Rising, we're talking about what it looks like to give yourself permission to dream something new. Sometimes we spend so much time trying to recreate something we once loved that we forget to ask ourselves what we want now.

It's a little like trying to replace butter with margarine or real cheese with Cheez Whiz. 😂 Some things just aren't the same when we try to recreate the original!

As we move through life, we change. Our experiences shape us, our priorities shift, and new desires begin to stir in our hearts. And while your next dream might carry the same themes or passions as an old one, it doesn't have to look exactly the same.

You don't have to keep pursuing a dream simply because it once mattered to you. You can honor the dream you had, appreciate what it brought into your life, and still make room for something new.

Join us as we talk about recognizing the season you're in, letting go of the pressure to recreate the past, and giving yourself permission to dream again.

Because a new season might just be the beginning of a beautiful new dream.

What if joy isn’t something we find after everything is figured out—but a pathway we can choose through all of it? In this episode of Dreamers Rising, I’m talking with Joy Robertson, author of How to Teach Joy, about the powerful role joy can play in our lives and in the lives of the younger people we are raising and influencing. We talk about what it really means to make joy a way of moving through life, rather than something we wait for. Joy can shape the way we see ourselves, the way we experience challenges, and the way we connect with the people around us. We also dive into the impact joy has on younger minds and how the way we model and teach joy can influence the way children grow, learn, and experience the world. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that joy isn’t frivolous or something we have to earn. It can be a pathway—a way back to ourselves, to connection, and to what matters most. Join us for a conversation about joy, growing, and the possibility of choosing joy along the way.

What if your calling isn’t something you have to go out and find?

In this episode of Dreamers Rising, we’re talking about the difference between a goal and a calling. A goal is something you set out to accomplish. A calling is different. It’s a part of you. It’s something that already lives within you—something you feel drawn toward, something that keeps stirring in your heart.

We talk about how easy it is to confuse the things we want to achieve with the things we feel deeply called to do. Goals can be checked off a list. A calling is something you listen to, honor, and allow to unfold.

Your calling doesn’t require you to become someone else. It asks you to become more fully yourself.

So what keeps calling you? And what might happen if you stopped looking outside of yourself for the answer and started listening within?

What if you gave yourself permission to be exactly who you are?

To dream the dreams that are yours.
To want what you want.
To change your mind.
To take a different path.
To stop living by everyone else’s expectations.
To become the woman you were always meant to be.

Permission to Be You is a podcast for women who are ready to stop shrinking, second-guessing, and trying to fit into a version of themselves that doesn’t feel true.

Andrea and Ondrea have honest, real conversations about identity, dreams, motherhood, relationships, courage, change, and what it looks like to create a life that actually feels like your own.

Because you don't have to be more like someone else to be worthy.

You don't have to have it all figured out.

You just have to give yourself permission to listen to your own heart and be uniquely you.

This is your life. You get to live it as yourself.

What stories are you carrying about money—and how are they shaping the way you dream, lead, and live?

In this episode of Dreamers Rising, Ondrea and Andrea sit down with Debbie Heiser for an honest conversation about money stories—the beliefs and experiences that shape our relationship with money, often without us even realizing it.

Debbie Heiser is the founder of The Lit Up Life, where she helps purpose-driven women reconnect with their identity, reclaim their brilliance, and build businesses that are both financially abundant and deeply meaningful. With over 25 years of leadership experience and a background spanning corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, neuroscience, and transformational coaching, Debbie brings a whole-person approach to leadership and success.

In addition to her private work, Debbie teaches leadership classes at Gonzaga University, where she guides students in values-based leadership, self-awareness, and conscious decision-making. Her work blends aligned strategy with emotional and spiritual intelligence, helping women move out of hustle and burnout and into embodied leadership, clarity, and sustainable joy. Her work isn’t about fixing women, it’s about activating them to lead, attract, and create from who they truly are.

Grab your favorite drink and join us as we uncover the stories we tell ourselves about money and open the door to dreaming—and living—a little bigger. 🤍

Retreats have a beautiful way of pulling us out of the noise and giving us space to hear our hearts again. 🤍

In this episode, Andrea and Ondrea talk about the impact retreats can have when we give ourselves permission to step away, reconnect with who we are, and dream about what’s next.

Sometimes a few intentional days away can be the beginning of something new—a fresh perspective, deeper connection, healing, courage, and the clarity to take that next step.

Grab your favorite drink, cozy up, and join us as we talk about why creating space for yourself just might change more than you expect.

Cozy up and join us for an honest, lighthearted conversation as we encourage you to step outside your box, listen to what your heart is calling you toward, and consider whether comfort might just be keeping you from your next chapter.
