Do you ever find yourself caught in the whirlwind of everyday life, wondering if you're truly moving in the direction of your dreams?
I get it.
As a solo mompreneur who’s homeschooling, building a business, and trying to remember to drink water—it’s easy to feel like life is happening to you instead of with you. But here’s what I know for sure: reclaiming your direction starts with one simple, transformative practice—
Vision setting.
Give Yourself Permission to Dream
Close your eyes for a moment. Take a deep breath. Now, let your imagination take the reins.
What does your ideal life look like?Where are you waking up?Who’s with you?What does your workday feel like—if you even have one?What moments spark joy?
That vision? It’s not just a daydream. It’s your inner compass.
Identify What Truly Matters
Sometimes we get so tangled in the expectations of others that we forget to check in with ourselves.
Ask yourself:
What do I really want more of in my life?
What am I craving less of?
What lights me up?
What feels heavy?
Clarity around your values and priorities is what sets your vision into motion. It becomes the filter for your choices—big and small.
Let Go to Move Forward
We’re not just decluttering closets anymore—we’re decluttering lives.And that means giving yourself permission to:
Say no to the things that drain you
Release outdated goals
Drop the guilt around shifting directions
Letting go of what no longer serves you makes space for what will.
Make Vision Setting a Practice
Your dream life isn’t static. You aren’t either. So come back to your vision regularly. Let it evolve with you.
Check in:
Does this still reflect who I am and where I want to go?
Am I making decisions aligned with my vision—or just surviving the day?
You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to stay in relationship with your dreams.
Dream Boldly. Act Bravely.
Your dream life doesn’t arrive all at once. It’s built—brick by brick—with every intentional choice you make.
Whether you're just beginning to imagine something different or you're deep in the process of building it, your vision is your starting point.

It’s your permission slip. It’s your anchor. It’s your reminder that you’re allowed to want more—and that you’re more than capable of creating it.
So, what’s your next bold step?
Maybe it’s journaling your vision.Maybe it’s saying no to something that’s no longer aligned.Maybe it’s carving out time to dream again.
Whatever it is—start today.Your dream life is just a vision away.
You’ve got this.
