About Your Next Best Move with Deanna Hope | Cast Your Vision, Grow Your Mindset, Take Action
The show where women come to feel seen, inspired, and supported. Whether you’re navigating the chaos of a career, raising kids, and chasing your personal dreams, or simply looking for advice and motivation, this podcast is your go-to resource. We dive into topics like balancing work and family, building a fulfilling career, prioritizing your wellness, and navigating personal growth. This is your space to explore what’s possible and take your next best step toward a life that feels authentic and aligned. Let’s figure it out together—thriving as your best self starts here.
What if play isn’t a distraction from the life you’re trying to create, but actually part of creating it?
This summer, I had a bit of a mindset shift around play. I was seeing play as boring, unproductive, or something I needed to do for my kids rather than something I genuinely wanted to do for myself.
But when I started intentionally making more space for play and being present with my kids, something unexpected happened: I became more creative, I had more fun, and I felt like a happier version of myself.
In this episode, I’m sharing what I learned about play, ambition, creativity, and why so many of us struggle to do things simply because they’re fun. We’ll talk about the productivity trap, what happened when I stopped worrying about whether my time was “useful,” and why play might be more important than we realize.
I don't want to be less ambitious. I still want the big goals, the ideas, the growth, and the things I'm creating.
I just want to build a life where ambition and joy can exist together and I think you do too!

195/How to Change Your Thoughts (Without Just Thinking Positive)
Have you ever tried to change your thoughts by simply replacing them with more positive ones... only to find yourself stuck in the same patterns?
In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I'm sharing a simple story about a broken shower that unexpectedly became one of the best metaphors I've heard for self-coaching.
Sometimes the thought that's holding us back isn't actually the problem. It's the belief underneath it.
Together, we'll explore why lasting mindset shifts happen when we stop fixing the surface and start getting curious about what's really driving our thoughts, decisions, and behaviours.
If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated by the same patterns showing up again and again, I hope this episode encourages you to dig a little deeper.
Because upgrading your life often starts by upgrading the thought behind the thought.
One next best move at a time. 🤍

195/Are You Making Decisions From Pressure or Peace?
Is this decision coming from pressure... or from my true self?
This is the question I've been asking myself lately that is changing the way I make decisions.
In this episode of Your Next Best Move, I'm sharing a powerful insight from a recent therapy session that completely shifted how I'm thinking about decision-making during this season of motherhood.
As someone who naturally loves setting goals and getting things done, I've realized that not every decision needs to come from productivity. Sometimes the best decisions come from alignment.
We'll talk about:
How to make decisions that feel aligned with who you are
The difference between making choices from pressure versus self-trust
Why your current season of life should shape your decisions
How self-leadership helps you create a life that feels more authentic and sustainable
A simple question you can ask yourself before saying yes to your next opportunity
If you've been feeling pulled in a hundred directions, struggling to know what deserves your energy, or wondering why some goals no longer feel exciting, this episode will help you reconnect with what matters most.
Because the best decisions aren't always the most productive ones.
They're the ones that feel most like you.
One next best move at a time. 🤍
Rooting for you always!
