Stories Within Us

Have the audacity to dream

Lisa Bush Season 5 Episode 5

Why we need to dream—and dream big—especially during challenging times. I share my thoughts on why we must dream our own dreams and not what society expects us to dream. I tell a story involving a spreadsheet (because spreadsheets are beautiful) about how taking ownership of my dreams is something that I still struggle with to this day.

I also share a book with you that I recently read and fell in love with, Luvvie Ajayi Jones' Professional Troublemaker. We explore Luvvie's maddening and hilarious chapter of dreaming and touch on why those who fall outside the category of white, straight, christian, able bodied, cisgendered man might struggle with dreaming big.

This is an uplifting and optimistic episode that I very much needed in my life. I hope it encourages you to embrace dreaming beyond what you ever imagined. Especially during challenging times.
