   99: Our Magic Formula: Dream Big, Keep Showing Up

   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 &amp; Jacqui Become a supporter of this podcast: <a...

   98: What If You Said Yes Without Knowing How It Would End?

   What if you said yes without knowing exactly how it would work out? It’s so easy to want a guarantee before we begin. We want to know that the job will work out, the idea will succeed, the relationship will last, the dream will happen, or the effort will be worth it. But we can’t control the outcome. We can control how we show up, how much effort we put in, what we learn, how we respond when things don’t go according to plan, and whether we’re willing to try again. And sometimes, even when something doesn’t turn out the way we hoped, we still walk away with something valuable. An experience. A lesson. A new skill. A new perspective. A story we’ll probably laugh about later. 😂 In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when we stop requiring a guarantee before we’re willing to say yes. We’re sharing our own experience with starting Hermit Haven, what we’ve learned from putting ourselves out there without knowing where it would lead, and why course-correcting doesn’t mean you’re failing. Because you don’t have to know how something will end to know it’s worth experiencing. 🤍 In this episode: Why we’re sometimes afraid to say yes to new experiences The fear of failing, wasting time, or making the wrong decision Saying yes for the experience, not just the outcome What starting Hermit Haven taught us about taking a chance The difference between controlling the work and controlling the outcome What we can learn when something doesn’t work out Why course-correcting is part of the process The airplane analogy and why getting slightly off course doesn’t mean you’ve failed Asking “What if it works?” instead of always asking “What if it doesn’t?” Thinking about what you might be willing to say yes to Maybe the goal isn’t to know exactly where every yes will take you. Maybe sometimes you just have to take the first step and let the experience show you what comes next. ✨ xoxo, Ashley &amp; Jacqui Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hermit-haven--6315196/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hermit-haven--6315196/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss).

   97: Why Every Moment Matters

   What if we stopped rushing toward the next thing long enough to actually notice the life we're living right now? It’s so easy to spend our days thinking about what’s coming next. Getting through this week. Getting to the next season. Reaching the next goal. Waiting for things to calm down. And sometimes we don’t realize how much of our lives we’re experiencing while we’re busy waiting for the next part to begin. That doesn’t mean we have to love every moment. Some moments are hard, exhausting, messy, boring, or chaotic. We don’t have to romanticize those things or pretend they’re something they’re not. But maybe there’s something beautiful about being present enough to experience them anyway. The moments that become meaningful memories aren’t always the big ones. Sometimes they’re the ordinary conversations, the random adventures, the little family traditions, the people who surprised us, or the things we almost said no to. Sometimes we don’t even realize we’re living a memory until we’re looking back on it. In this episode, we’re talking about what it means to appreciate the moments we’re given and how being more present can make us more open to the people, experiences, and memories that make our lives meaningful. 🤍 In this episode: Why we’re so quick to rush toward what’s next The difference between loving a moment and being present for it How being present can change the way we see other people Letting go of first impressions and staying curious about people’s stories Being more open to new experiences Collecting memories instead of simply checking boxes The little moments we don’t realize will become memories Simple ways to slow down and notice the life happening around us Maybe every moment doesn’t need to be extraordinary, but rather it just needs to be experienced. ✨ xoxo, Ashley &amp; Jacqui Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hermit-haven--6315196/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/hermit-haven--6315196/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss).
