Hola & welcome back to The Wild Dream Podcast!
Here’s the tea ☕️: i had something totally different planned for this week’s podcast . . . but the Universe and the world had other ideas.
If all the news and archaic changes have your heart heavy, if your hope feels thin, and your dreams seem to be buried under the weight of it all—you’re not alone.
And this episode is for you. For us.
Here’s the truth i want to remind you of (and myself, too):
✨ Your dreams are not distractions. They are medicine.
✨ They are defiant, radical, sacred acts of soul-preservation.
✨ They are the blueprints for the world we haven’t built yet.
Your wild dreams are not frivolous—they are fuel.
This episode is part sacred fire, part soul balm. In it, i share 3 tangible praxises to help you keep dreaming through the darkness, plus healing journal prompts to help you process and stay connected to your vision—even when the outside world makes it all feel impossible.
👉🏽 This episode is for the sacred rebels and visionary hearts who are wondering: How the hell do we keep dreaming when the world is on fire?✨
You can listen to here on Substack, Soundcloud, Spotify, & Apple Podcasts as usual!
May this episode serve as your not-needed permission slip to keep on dreaming on. Especially now.

📝 Episode summary
This wasn’t the episode i planned. But it’s the one we/i/us needed.
In a world that feels fractured, burning, and unrelenting, dreaming can feel impossible or even pointless. But what if it’s actually the most radical thing you can do right now?
That’s exactly what i believe it is, and in this episode, i invite you to step into this belief too—a space of sacred rebellion and soul activism.
i share why your Wild Dreams are not frivolous distractions but necessary medicine for your spirit and the collective.
We talk burnout, grief, injustice, creativity, resistance, and the radical power of reimagining what’s possible.
My spellcast is that you’ll leave with soul-soothing praxises, heartfelt journal prompts, and the reminder that dreaming is a form of defiance AND YOU WERE MADE FOR IT!
