Ever since I started dreaming about becoming a bra fitter, I knew it wouldn’t just magically happen. Dreams aren’t just fluffy ideas — they’re plans waiting to be loved, nurtured, and worked on. And as I prepare for my long-awaited journey to Iceland this summer, I feel more connected than ever to that idea: that your dreams need space, attention, and commitment.
In this post, I want to share a little piece of my story. Not because it’s perfect or finished — but because I’m living it. I'm creating the life I’ve always wanted, one step, one fitting, and one brave decision at a time. Maybe you’ll feel inspired to pick up your dream journal again. Or start one. Or simply honour the whisper inside you that says, “there’s more.”
💭 Dreams Start Small — And That’s Okay
My dream didn’t arrive with a lightning bolt. It started as a quiet thought: “What if I could help women feel better in their own skin?” That question stayed with me. At first, it was just an idea I carried in the background while working, raising a family, living life. But it kept showing up — in conversations, in moments of discomfort, in my own reflection. And slowly, I started listening. Dreams often begin in whispers, not shouts. The magic happens when we stop brushing them off and start treating them as seeds we can actually plant.
🛠 Dreams Need Work — Not Just Wishing
Once I acknowledged the dream, I had to get real: no one was going to build it for me. Becoming a bra fitter wasn’t going to happen just because I believed in body confidence or wanted to support women. It meant researching, enrolling in training, buying books, watching tutorials, asking questions — and starting over when things didn’t click. It meant budgeting, learning about business plans, and pushing through doubt. The truth is, dreams need discipline. They need calendars, to-do lists, early mornings, and sometimes tears. But when you’re building something you truly believe in, the work becomes a kind of devotion.
📓 Create a Dream Journal — and Let It Evolve
One of the most powerful things I’ve done is start writing my dreams down. Not just big, life-changing goals — but small, quiet ones too. I keep a “dream journal” where I jot down ideas, visions, things I’d love to experience, people I want to help, feelings I want to have. Some dreams stay. Some fade. Some change shape. And that’s okay. I cross things off, rewrite them, or make space for new ones. That journal isn’t a pressure list — it’s a reflection of who I am becoming. It reminds me that my dreams are alive. They’re allowed to grow with me.
🏔 Iceland, and the Space to Dream Bigger
This summer, I’m finally traveling to Iceland — a place that’s been on my dream list for years. It’s wild, vast, and untamed, and something about it feels like the perfect reflection of what this season of my life looks like. I’m stepping into the unknown, full of excitement and a little fear, trusting that the journey will shape me. Iceland isn’t just a destination. It’s a celebration — of the courage it took to follow my dreams, of every small step that led me here, and of the space I’ve made to keep dreaming even bigger.
💡 Your Dreams Matter — So Look After Them
Whatever your dream looks like — whether it’s launching a business, traveling solo, changing careers, or simply carving out more time for yourself — it matters. Don’t let anyone tell you it’s too small, too big, too late, or too unrealistic. Protect your dream. Speak kindly to it. Make time for it. Write it down. Work on it even when no one’s watching. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep showing up. One decision, one action, one page in your journal at a time.
🌱 Growth Looks Different for Everyone
Sometimes, progress looks like a breakthrough. Other times, it’s just not giving up. Some days I feel like a bold entrepreneur — and others I’m just a tired woman Googling bra sizes at midnight with a cup of tea. And that’s okay. Growth isn’t always glamorous. But it’s always real. Every step I take toward my dream — even the tiny, unglamorous ones — is a reminder that I’m doing this. I’m building something meaningful. And so can you.
💬 Final Thoughts — Your Dreams Deserve a Chance
If you’re holding a dream in your heart, I hope this story reminds you: it’s possible. Not easy, not instant, but possible. You don’t need permission or perfect timing — you just need to start. Give your dreams room to breathe. Let them grow with you. And when they change, let them go with love.
I’m still on my journey — both in business and in life — but every step feels worth it. And I want that for you too.
If this spoke to you, I’d love to hear from you.
🌷 Come say hi, share your dream, or tell me what you’re working toward. You’re never alone in this.
