The Death of a Dream

Society EN ↓ 1488 episodes

The Death of a Dream Podcast is my seven-year, real-time journal of rebuilding a life I love—right here in rural Iowa. Through midlife crisis moments, two tiny kids, a career shift, and the quiet truth of small-town living, I showed up daily to document the messy, honest work of starting over. Now each year is becoming a book so you can read the journey that proves this: you don’t need a new city to change your life. You can begin right where you are.https://linktr.ee/hannanuss

272 // there is this life i wish to live. 11.08.2020

Two years ago I sat on the deck of an a-frame cabin in Minnesota contemplating my life and what I wanted to do. Who I wanted to be and if I even had the right to decide.  Connect hanna@nussinc.com Blog Shop simple, inspiring clothing & accessories in your POWER COLOR That Power Color Place

271 // what if it is all a lie? 10.08.2020

I had to start questioning whether or not my life was something I was happy with or something everyone else was. Once I started questioning it I knew the answer. It was satisfying everyone but me. So I had to start this quest. I had to question what makes me happy. I had to look deep into the motivators of my movement and keep going until I found answers. I found a lot of lies that were no longer...

270 // what isn't serving you anymore? 07.08.2020

It is time to let it go. Yesterday when I was writing I had this realization that one of my biggest game changers came from letting go a saying that I had let govern my life for far to long. It is important to keep a close eye on the things that do not serve us in relationships, in work, in play and in words.  Connect hanna@nussinc.com Blog Shop simple, inspiring clothing & accessories in...

269 // are you giving your words the power they deserve? 06.08.2020

We have all heard that sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me right? Except that is wrong. Words hold an amazing power over us. Not only in the way we use them with ourselves but also in the way we use them with other people. I think more than anything it is about staying constantly aware of the power you give words. Every. Single. One. The words you tell yourself. The wo...

268 // why consistency wins and how you can too. 05.08.2020

I know. That word sucks right. This is a different discussion ok? I am not talking about killing yourself and showing up everyday if that is not doable for you. Not everyone has that in them. If you want to start to shift anything you have to develop a consistency that stair steps you to success. Know this if you want the fast pass you can hustle you way to it. But it all starts with the shifting...

267 // as hard as it is to adapt to, highs are built by lows. how to survive. 04.08.2020

We have been experiencing some lows lately. Now the one thing that is always coming is a high but how do you can you better navigate the low spots? We are diving fully in on that today and talking through what that experience might look like for you and why it happens. It seems like you would excitedly walk down this new path and move with no issue but with every change comes a valley so start the...

266 // sometimes i exhaust myself. 03.08.2020

I know digging into the depths of your soul and all the good and bad that may live there is scary. I think for me the scariest part is seeing who I really am. What is really possible and finding the person I have so longed to be. I know this work is extra that is the exhaustion of it all. But I promise the doing of this work. Will be the best thing you ever do for yourself. 

265 // the key to transition to a BIG change. 31.07.2020

Big change is scary I know. What I didn't expect was overwhelming support and the recurrence of new limiting beliefs. I am just a girl. In a small town, with BIG dreams. This is my story. This is the honest account of how I started signing up to live life on my terms. If you want to go on that journey you can. My hope is that somewhere you find yourself and what you need. 

264 // a whole new set of limiting beliefs & how to apply the SIMPLE STRATEGY I use to get past them. 30.07.2020

Limiting beliefs are a silly old bear. They are ever-present and as I have recently discovered ever-changing with you as you change. YAY! So the fact that they will always be here is cool. It is ok. We will never overcome them fully it is human nature but what we can do is establish a combative strategy to overcome them as they change. We are talking through what I do the overcome my limiting beli...

263 // what will your future self thank you for? 29.07.2020

It is all about the build-up. NOTHING happens overnight people NOTHING. Ok now that you know that. Just know that even an ounce of intention can help set you up for the life you want to live ten years from now. The scope of what you put your mind to does not even have to granular. Our biggest move only had two non-specific goals in mind but it was enough to keep pushing us even though at the time...

262 // if you wanted to you would. 28.07.2020

I know the first time I read that it hurt my feelings too. That is the reality though isn't it. So many times we leave ourselves to say things but never do them. Do you have what it takes? You are not even going to know if you want to do something for sure if all you ever do is just talk about it. Come on! Lets go! 

261 // are you surviving or thriving in life? 27.07.2020

so often we are just taught that survival is the key to adulthood. I want you to thrive. I want you to show up everywhere in your story as the one who made this happen. I want that life for you. I want the one your dream about to be your reality. I trust that no dreams are put into your head or your heart that you are not perfectly prepared to pursue. We just aren't really prepared for thriving as...

260 // how to keep standing when others are attempting to break you down. 24.07.2020

This is the episode I was hoping I would never have to publish. But you need to know people will attempt to break you down for many reasons. Know this you owe it to yourself to stay true. You owe it to yourself to stand up for YOU. Yes some may call that selfish let them. You deserve to live life on your terms. 

259 // movement is key. doesn't have to be fast or far. 23.07.2020

Just keep moving. I know that is hard. I know that may seem impossible. But I am telling you every day you won't feel like sprinting but every day you have to keep on moving. Every day you have to see yourself in your work and know there is a reason. I know the lows get hard but move even then. Even if you just lift a finger move. Movement is the key.  If this episode or the show has helped y...

258 // how to manifest your dream life. 22.07.2020

Manifestation seems like such a catchy phrase but seriously it works. Manifest & movement are the keys. You don't even have to make BIG moves you can make comfortable ones and just watch how the world works to cater to you. If this episode or the show has helped you in any way I invite you to share it with a friend. connect: hanna@nussinc.com www.nussinc.com

257 // you are never going to feel like an adult & all the other reasons to stop fast forwarding past your life. 21.07.2020

I always thought there was this moment where I would be crowned an adult and feel ready to do all the things. It doesn't happen. Maybe there is a crowning ceremony at another age and I am just unaware but from what I can see that is how life works. You just become an adult even though in your mind you will forever be sixteen. So I think most importantly stop fast-forwarding through your life. Stop...

256 // you can paint the world the color of your choosing. 20.07.2020

The world needs what you have to offer it. Do not ever think it doesn't or that you are not enough. You are and it does.

255 // where we have been & where we are headed. 17.07.2020

My love letter to the past year and season one. We have grown, cried, and moved together. Today we say so long to season one and move into season two.
