In this episode, we strip away the fluffy, mystical stereotypes around vision boards and dig into the grounded, science-backed truth of why they work. If you’re ready to move from thinking about your favorite life to creating it, this conversation is your blueprint.

I walk you through a strategic approach to vision boarding that starts with clarity — not magazine clippings. You’ll learn how to identify what you truly want in every area of your life, translate those desires into aligned habits, and choose the core thought that shapes the identity of your future self. We also explore the reticular activating system (RAS) and how intentionally visualizing your goals trains your brain to notice opportunities and follow-through.

By the end, you’ll understand how to build a vision board that becomes a living tool for transformation — not a cute craft project that collects dust.

Plus: I share details about a step-by-step workshop (inside my app!) and a live coaching session so you can build your next vision board with intention, alignment, and support.
