You don’t need permission to act on your ideas—you need the mindset and strategy to turn them into real impact. In this episode of The Dream Lifestyle Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Desiree Rodriguez—author, entrepreneur, and founder of Literature Matters—to unpack how to move from vision to execution with clarity and confidence. From publishing her first book at 17 to launching a nonprofit that’s reshaping literacy for children of color, Dr. Desiree shares what it takes to lead yourself through fear, rejection, and uncertainty. We talk identity, communication, and the courage to start before you feel ready. If you have a big idea and know it’s time to make it real, this conversation will give you the push—and the playbook—you’ve been waiting for.
