Episode Details

We all have dreams.






Some are big and sparkly. Some are quiet little dreams we’ve barely told anyone about. And some start as nothing more than a tiny thought: Wouldn’t it be cool if…?






But dreaming is only the beginning.






At some point, you have to start showing up for the dream. And then you have to keep showing up.






Not perfectly. Not without getting distracted. Not without changing your plan.






Just consistently enough that one day you look around and realize:






Wait… this thing I dreamed about is actually happening. 🤍






As we sit here recording Episode 99 and getting ready to celebrate 100 episodes of Hermit Haven, we’ve been thinking about how we actually got here.






It wasn’t one giant moment.






It was one conversation. One recording. One episode. One week. Then another.






We built this podcast while raising babies, working, managing families, living through busy seasons, dealing with sick days and technical problems, and figuring things out as we went.






We didn’t wait for life to become perfectly calm.






We kept making room for something that mattered to us.






In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to pursue a dream and keep showing up for it, even when life gets messy.






In this episode:






Why everyone deserves to have dreams that are their own










The difference between dreaming about something and taking action toward it










What “keep showing up” actually looks like in real life










Why consistency doesn’t mean perfection










Building something while raising kids and living a full life










How to keep going when your original plan changes










Why you don’t need to know exactly how you’ll get there










How your consistent actions shape the person you’re becoming










What to do when you get distracted, discouraged, or off track










Asking yourself what your dream is actually asking from you










The full-circle feeling of being just one episode away from 100








We couldn’t have known when we started Hermit Haven that we’d one day be sitting here recording Episode 99.






We just kept showing up.






And maybe that’s the magic.






You dream about the life you want, you take the next step, you adjust when you need to, and you keep going.






Until one day you look around and realize -






Oh my gosh. We actually did it. ✨






xoxo,






Ashley & Jacqui
