From Rock Bottom to Radiance: How Jacinta Rebuilt Her Dream Life in 12 Months
When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to see a way forward. But as Tilly’s (name changed for Member privacy) inspiring story shows, the right tools — and small daily actions — can completely transform your life in just one year.
How One Woman Turned a Setback into a Step Up
In June 2024, Tilly found herself in crisis — what she describes as an “imperfect storm” of personal and professional challenges. Feeling lost and emotionally depleted, she did the one thing she could: she walked.
It was during those walks that she discovered the Dream Life podcast and the book she said changed everything — Your Dream Life Starts Here.
Reading Kristina Karlsson’s story ignited something powerful in her: hope.
The Power of a Morning Ritual (and early starts)
What began as listening during daily walks soon became a transformative ritual. Tilly adopted Kristina’s Dream Life Morning Routine — getting up early to journal, do breath-work, meditate, and nourish her body with daily greens.
These early starts weren’t about productivity — they were about self-care and clarity. “I would get up before work every morning and work on my dream life,” she shared recently in a note of thanks she sent to Kristina.
The ritual gave her stability, and over time, momentum.

From Reflection to Vision: Crafting Her 10-Year Plan
Tilly didn’t stop with habits. She went deeper, working through the Your Dream Life Starts Here Workbook — a step-by-step journaling tool to clarify your values, define your dreams, and build your 10-year vision.
"It took me many, many hours of deep reflection and thought," she wrote, "but I have put together a very comprehensive ten-year plan, that reflects my values, passions and dreams."

Coaching, Community & Consistency
A big turning point came when Tilly joined Kristina’s Dream Life Coaching Program. Weekly sessions and the GROW community gave her the structure, support, and inspiration to stay on track — even when life felt wobbly.
Twelve months later, Tilly is the “happiest and healthiest I’ve been since I can remember.” And she credits Dream Life for helping her reconnect with herself — and with life.
