2026/07/27 | 56 mins.Have you ever thought…
“If this dream was really intended for me, it should be easier!!”

After the journey ended up feeling harder than she thought it would be, her brain tried to convince her this dream must not be meant for her.
If you can relate and you’re ready to stop interpreting obstacles as evidence you’re not capable, and start learning how challenges can be a catalyst for growth…
this week’s podcast is for you! 💫

Join me for Activate Your Vision, a virtual workshop on Thursday, August 13th. ⚡️

MORE ABOUT COLLEEN KIMBERLY BROERSMA:
Colleen is a somatic healer and energy medicine practitioner who helps women create safety in their body so they can expand their capacity to receive more, more love, more ease, more joy; more of the life they desire but haven’t been able to hold.
Through frequency healing, yoga, and somatic practice, she works at the level of the nervous system, clearing the old beliefs, fears, and generational patterns that keep women contracted instead of expanded.
Many of her clients have had a glimmer of what’s available for them. They’ve done the work, they’ve had the breakthroughs, but their body hasn’t caught up yet, and that’s where she comes in: building the actual capacity to hold what they’ve already called in. It’s deep, embodied work, and it’s different for every woman who walks through it.

Music: https://www.purple-plan - Have you ever felt called toward a dream... and then started doubting yourself because the people around you didn't understand?
In this conversation with mind-body wellness educator, medium, and founder of Firefly Hollow Wellness, Kara Lovehart, we explore what it looks like to trust your visions even when they don’t make logical sense or the people around you don’t get it. Kara shares how a dream that once seemed totally unreachable eventually became the thriving wellness center she leads today, and why you don't need to have everything figured out before taking the next step.
You’ll hear how learning to trust her intuition after suppressing it for many years was one of the keys to bringing this vision to life. If you feel disconnected from your inner knowing, you’ll discover the unexpected barrier that often blocks intuition and what can help you reconnect.
If you’d love to trust yourself more deeply and courageously follow your dreams no matter what others think, this episode is for you!
Give it a listen and then see what next step you feel called to take next!
