Welcome back to the Holistic Millionaire podcast. And I'm so excited to be back from the trip to Italy. And I'm so excited to be back because I have a really, really amazing announcement. And as I was preparing for the episode tonight, I was like, oh, gosh, what am I going to talk about? And I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm going to talk about this. It is such a key when I think of, so we've

had the holistic business school for 15 years. Our anniversary was in June and it really feels like we're going into a new era of the holistic business school. And so there is a new vision that I want to share with you and you are a part of it. So the title of this podcast episode is a million dreams and where this is coming from is we had a deep dive.

in the Holistic Business School a few weeks ago, right? And the theme of the deep dive was the rise of the wise woman. And so we are going into deeper exploration about really preparing everyone in the Holistic Business School for the new curriculum that we're bringing forward in November and December.

that's really kind of marking the new era, the new direction that we're going in, to really prepare them for that increased visibility and distribution of their message, of their content, of their work, so they can help more people and transform more lives. So we were doing this deeper exploration, deeper transformation, and one of the songs that I kept

playing or I played for the first time there. But then since then I've been playing it over and over again. And I'm like, this is the song for the new era of the holistic business school. So I want to share with you the song and it is the song from the greatest showman called a million dreams. The version that we played in the holistic business in the deep dive.

was the version sung by Pink and her daughter. And I believe her daughter's name is Willow. it's an incredible, it's a clip on YouTube. So I highly recommend you go and watch it. Just put Pink and a million dreams into the search bar and you'll find it. It's amazing. There's so many, and I'll talk about just some of the layers of that video, why I like that version in particular.

because of the deeper meaning in it. So the song, and I'm gonna read the lyrics, but the bigger picture for the song is, well actually, I'm gonna read the lyrics and then I'm gonna kind of go into how that connects with you, what we're doing and what we're bringing forward and the bigger picture of what's unfolding in this new era of.

the holistic business school, the holistic millionaire. So let me bring up the lyrics. So here it is.

I close my eyes and I can see a world that's waiting up for me that I call my own. Through the dark, through the door, through where no one's been before, but it feels like home. They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy. They can say, they can say I've lost my mind.

I don't care, I don't care if they call me crazy. We can live in a world that we design. Because every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head. A million dreams are keeping me awake. I think of what the world could be, a vision of the one I see. A million dreams is all it's going to take.

A million dreams for the world we're going to make.

Isn't that amazing? I'm getting chills as I'm saying it. So how this vision fits with where we're going is

having a million holistic professionals with the dreams they have in their heart, in their soul for their holistic business, which is really that arc of transformation that they want to bring into the world. So our vision for the holistic business school is to help a million holistic professionals cross the million dollar mark in their business because we will know that they're having that kind of impact.

that their soul intended. Isn't that amazing? So a million dreams is what we will be doing and you are a part of it. Listen if you're listening to my voice then you are on board with this and I can't wait to hear what your dream is. The dream that is...

filling your heart, filling your soul. And it is that dream for a world that collectively we can all bring forward to create a better world, right? A world filled with love, a world that works for all. We know as holistic professionals, souls of service, we know we could do so much better, right? And so

We can do this together, right? A million dreams. And this is when it talks about, I close my eyes and I can see a world that's waiting up for me through the dark, through the door, through where no one's been before, but it feels like home. Right. And they can say, they can say it all sounds crazy because when you are a visionary, which is what you are,

You in your mind's eye are seeing the vision of possibilities of where we could go. The different ideas that are coming through the divine downloads that are coming to you in your business. All the healing modalities, the thought leadership, everything that you're bringing forward with your transformational work is key and so vital and so critical right now.

So those million dreams that are in your head that are meant to come into physical form, that is what we are doing. Isn't that amazing? So why I like the version of Pink singing it is one, I love her voice and I love her energy. But in the video, one of the things that she is sharing with the creators of the greatest showman, the ones that

created the song. She was just thanking them and because she said there hasn't been a soundtrack or music that has inspired her that her daughter can get inspired and sing since Annie. And so I was sharing in the deep dive. I was just sharing that as that everyone right now is needing inspiration.

And when we live our dream, you know, the dream in our heart for our holistic business, we end up becoming an inspiration to our ideal clients, to our colleagues, to our friends, to our families. And that is exactly what people need is that inspiration of what is possible. Right. So I loved that in the video. That was amazing.

The other dimension of the video that I think is so meaningful is as you are growing and scaling your world changing business, you are taking your little girl, your inner child with you. And so that dynamic between Pink and her daughter is just precious. And so on Tuesday night, we listened to the song again in our Tuesday.

call. And so afterwards I had everyone put their hands on their heart and just connecting with their inner child and saying that dream that you have in your heart, we are doing it and just, and you're taking your inner child along with you to this big vision that you're creating. Because when we talk about scaling your business to a million dollars joyfully and sustainably, it is with that

connection with your inner child, all the different parts of you, your inner teenager, all the different parts of you need to be brought on the journey with you and loved, supported, encouraged, you know, the ones that might be afraid and might be going like, this is too big. I can't do this. It's overwhelming, right? They need to be brought along. So that's

the other dimension of the video that I love so much. So we're probably going to play that a million more times. But I was so excited to really have that all come together with the launch of the new curriculum, the big vision of where we are all going and we are going there together. And that is what just fills my heart, right? That

We are supporting one another. We are visioning together. We are also planning more live events. Typically we've had two of our holistic business school retreats, usually in July and then in February in Florida, but we are going to do more of them and they are going to be content creation retreats. So we can come together and this will be more of a small group, probably six to eight.

women coming together and actually launching your podcast, getting your YouTube channel, you know, getting all of the things that you need set up to grow your business to the next level. You're, we're coming together and we're actually doing it together. And that's what I'm so excited about. I love collaboration. I love being together. You know, I'm looking at some places on the beach, you know, in Florida right now.

My mom lives in Clearwater, so I've been looking at some places. I'm like, wouldn't that be amazing to be on the beach? Recording building out your content and then taking a walk on the beach going out for some amazing food So this is the vision so I'm really really excited so And we had such an amazing time in Italy like

have to do a separate podcast just on Italy. It is still landing for me, you know how you have such a powerful experience that it takes a while to even just process it because it was so impactful and so powerful. So I will do a separate episode just talking about the insights, the breakthroughs, the amazing beauty, the food was incredible.

gelato virtually every day. And I didn't realize until I had gotten home, Patrick and I were talking about, I'm like, we had gelato practically every day. And then we looked up and I had no idea. I, many of you probably know this, but I didn't realize that it's actually healthier. Gelato is healthier to eat than ice cream. was like, that's amazing. So,

that it's doesn't have as much fat. It's milk-based instead of cream-based. Although the gelato that we had in Italy was very tasty and creamy. so anyway, that was a new awareness to me. So, so one of the things I wanted to share about the song, the million dreams to kind of just anchor these different dimensions of the significance. One is

The million dreams song in this million dreams concept is encouraging you to pursue ambitious dreams. So kind of just taking the lid off. What do you want to create? What did your soul come here to do and doing it? Right. The second dimension of a million dreams is

is the song talks about overcoming adversity. And that is when the phrase is saying they can, they can say, they can say it all sounds crazy because how many of you as a visionary, you can't share some of the dreams that you have with your family, with your friends, with people close to you. So oftentimes to be a visionary means to, you know, walk a path that

A lot of people I've been talking to our clients lately and saying to some of them, your family is never going to understand you. Never. So let go of the desire for them to get you and understand you. And one of our clients was saying that was so helpful to hear, right? Because a lot of times we can have that deep need to be seen and understood by the people close to us or our family members, but just to

When you are a visionary, that oftentimes is just not going to happen. And that is okay because we are here at the Holistic Business School and we can get you. We can see you. We can totally get where you're wanting to go and to cheer you on. The third part of the song is the power of imagination. Every night I lie in bed, the brightest colors fill my head.

power of imagination to create the future, right? And then the power of partnership.

the importance of sharing your dreams.

with people that get you, right? And then number four, creating your own reality. The song is really about creating a world of your own design.

a new life. It's a new vision. You're bringing something completely new into the world and you're creating a reality that feels good to your heart, to your soul, to your ideal clients and to the world. The other dimension, number five, is passing on a legacy. So with these million dreams, your dream is going to create that ripple effect and legacy.

that you know that stone that drops into the water and has all of those ripple effects that just keep going and going and going. So you will pass on a legacy by dreaming your biggest dream and living your biggest dream. So, so excited and something that is coming up in our
