Permission to Dream Again


Hey Reader,

It’s June. That strange halfway point between everything we thought we’d do and everything still possible.

The past 7 years have thrown me for a loop. Between a surprise pregnancy, a global pandemic, caretaking our beautifully neurodivergent child, and fascism in our country…

There have been many days when I couldn’t see beyond the next 10 minutes, let alone visualize the next 10 years.

But today, I’m giving myself permission to dream again.

One of my favorite grounding practices this time of year is what I call a Vision Reset. It’s a moment to pause and ask:

What do I really want now?

Not what I said five years ago. Not what I “should” want.

But what truly matters—today.

Our lives change. And so do our dreams. That’s not failure – that’s evolution.

This week, I’m revisiting the questions that help me reconnect with what I value most and where I’m being called next.

🖋 Vision Reset Journal Prompts

  • What does your ideal day look like—morning to night?
  • What are you known for in your work or community?
  • Who do you help—and how do you help them?
  • What difference are you making? What ripple effects does it create?
  • Who supports you in your work and life?
  • How will you define success in this next chapter?

I invite you to join me in this reflection. Whether you're leading a business, a classroom, a community—or a family—this is for you.

Tomorrow, Wednesday June 4th, at 8am PDT/11am EDT, join me for a complimentary co-working hour. Register here >>

This isn’t just about business goals. It’s about alignment. It’s about honoring how far you’ve come and choosing—on purpose—how you want to move forward.

Because clarity isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about asking the right questions—and making space to listen.

So, let’s reset.
Let’s realign.
Let’s allow ourselves to imagine something beautiful, rooted in who we are now.

You have full permission to begin again.

To your success,
Gail

Hello Reader, If you’ve been feeling off-track or unsure about what you truly want, you're not alone. During a recent strategy session with one of my marketing clients, they shared how frustrated they felt about the direction of their business. “It just feels like I’m working to pay other people.
