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

there have been moments where i stumbled hard. today we are talking about lessons I have learned along the way in manifesting my own dream life. you can get past them but the insanity it takes to keep stepping back up, again and again, is quite unspeakable. it is hard. even that description doesn't justify IT. but if I can you can I just want you to be prepared for the things I wasn't.  i wou...

228 // the 1 action step i took to discover my passion. 10.06.2020

success leaves clues. want to find what would light your soul on fire? we all do right dumb question. the step I used was simple. start writing down what you are doing when you have those high-frequency moments. after you have a bunch of those moments review it. what is similar and what is different. somethings will line up and some won't but you owe it to yourself to keep exploring. keep going un...

227 // my GO TO key to creating a higher vibe for your life. 09.06.2020

success leaves clues. those clues lie in the day to day. so TODAY start paying attention to how you are showing up. listen to the things you say again and again because those are either contributing to big moments or taking away from them. the reality is your vibe is in your daily actions. so my go-to for a higher vibe lies in the vibe you put out in the day to day. you can't just show up as your...

226 // are we coaching ourselves into a negative narrative. start showing up as more TODAY. 08.06.2020

we constantly build ourselves up on words as walls. we act as if these words we tell ourselves are capable of holding us hostage and then we let them do just that. we can coach you past that and once you overcome one watch out...  i would be honored to read your death of a dream story send to: the death of a dream Attn: Hanna Nuss Po Box 543 Denver, IA 50622 If this episode or the show has he...

225 // how to recognize your line in the sand moment. 05.06.2020

that moment may be hard to recognize in real-time or it may be painfully obvious. whatever it is for you when you know you know. today I am going to walk you down the journey of my line in the sand moment to stand back up. this is the day my first child was born. she came into the world so calm and wise it was quite alarming actually. but her silence would play a significant part in my ability to...

224 // the importance of community on your self-growth path. 04.06.2020

community is vital. you cant do this alone. i know I really believed that I could but as I started to restructure my support system I realized the right people grow with you. they may not be an everyday type level of growth but the right ones will grow back into your life right when you need them most.  i would be honored to read your death of a dream story send to: the death of a dream Attn:...

223 // start having NECESSARY conversations. 03.06.2020

reframe it, people. i know this is big and overwhelming and bottom line it is a risk to take a side. even publishing this podcast is a risk. and I will continue to risk it for what I believe is right. i will continue to call out my people in my circle to discuss things. i will continue because comparatively, my battle with this movement is so SMALL and insignificant that it is kind of crazy to thi...

222 // finding space as YOU in this world. YOU are NOT broken. 02.06.2020

we don't question the world. yet the world is built in this comfort pattern. built around how things have always been done. we rarely question things that are not broken. this lack of questioning leads us down this path of "normal" and an inability to realize who we are and who we are meant to show up as. you deserve to walk in this world as the whole you. even if that makes the confines of who th...

221 // the ONLY way to get past what is holding you back. 01.06.2020

we all phase in and out of seasons of life. one of the most vital is a commitment to a season of growth. this is a self-chosen path. many choose the opposite which is a path of victim status. this is why when you chose to grow and others around you do not there becomes a tension. people can choose to stay and you can choose who you surround yourself with but I can promise a path of growth may mean...

220 // the #1 mistake we all make when trying something new. 29.05.2020

we are withholding the joys of whatever it is we want to create. like ok, Hanna if you are good and do your website and figure out how to run a business you can do a podcast. switch it girl. do the thing that is going to light you up first. the rest will come I promise you.  i would be honored to read your death of a dream story send to: the death of a dream Attn: Hanna Nuss Po Box 543 Denver...

219 // take tangible action to overcome your limiting beliefs TODAY. 28.05.2020

today we are doing a deep dive into how I developed my limiting belief coaching strategy. when we move into the touchy-feely portion of this work it all gets sticky and it is hard to see movement because well we don't/can't measure it the way we measure "normal" things. so what is we reset how we overcome these beliefs. what if we create tangible comfortable movement? what if we structured the tou...

218 // are you struggling to get started? learn my go-to success builder strategy. 27.05.2020

you want growth but you aren't moving? sister you cannot get one without the other. one of the big holdups is this idea that success is a singular movement. that you will decide to do this thing whatever it is and BOOM you got it. the success measure is subjective. so until you take control of what that looks like you will continue to struggle. be willing to suck. be willing to struggle. more than...

217 // the #1 tool i used to get focused & start aligning my life. 26.05.2020

i had this insane way of starting something so passionately only to fizzle out again. like every six months. starting and stopping had become this new normal for me. so I had begun to think i must not have what it takes because i can't get past this. for an amount of time, i fell into the victim whelm again & just decided that this insane start and stop method must be something within me and s...

216 // want to start manifesting your dream life? here's how to move TODAY! 25.05.2020

you can do anything you are willing to build up to. yes, you may have to start small and then maybe even go a little smaller but that build up sets you up for success. because small wins over time lead to bigger wins but you cannot skip this step. most people do not just skip over this part. this is what sets successful people apart. their willingness to be unrelenting in the start/stop/fail. i wi...

bonus // you want your life to change? pick one reason to fuel you. 23.05.2020

i get the discomfort. I know better than most. this feeling of dissatisfaction and this inability to move past the impossibility of it all.

215 // 3 steps to get back to a winning routine. 22.05.2020

remember what it feels like to win. stop over complicating it. i think we built up our entire lives around like a big pay off. train for three months, study for four years boom BIG win. you should win EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. we are going to teach you how to do that today. stop holding the winning back.   The three steps to a new routine Remember your old routine the last time you were in the zone or w...

214 // overcome your limiting beliefs with this two step strategy. 21.05.2020

when i first started this podcast i realized i would have to get past some deep limiting beliefs hanging over my head. my first step was simply acknowledging what they were which we did an exercise to discover those yesterday. once we call them out we can start setting up a strategy to combat them. that is what we are walking through today! let's go!   i will forever be calling on you to relive th...

feeling lost right now? what you can do right NOW to realign your life. 20.05.2020

don't worry we are all feeling that moment of lostness. once we are through this season i want you to hit your stride. come back better than ever. so today we are taking steps to start that realignment process and tomorrow we will come back with ways to combat ourselves and our limiting beliefs that will come up through this process. NOW is the perfect time to start showing up for ourselves and st...

212 // what can YOU do. 19.05.2020

seriously how can you show up and change any situation. lets go ahead and keep in mind that not making a choice is a choice. so anytime that you are showing up as victim you are choosing to show up there. ask yourself what can YOU do. lay out your choices and move forward do not continuing signing up as the victim wherever you go.

211 // marketing yourself into a yes or a no. 18.05.2020

how many times do we make decisions based on getting the quick win. i have been so stuck in a season of learning and loss that it was hard to know the truth in my yearning for an opportunity. i took a lot of time and thought and allowed myself to explore my energy when i went all in and said yes compared to going all in to the no. if i was being honest the no felt better but it was hard to pass up...

quick wins. 16.05.2020

I know, being in the longest season of loss of my life I get it losing sucks. what we are discussing today is the idea that passing up on what you know for a quick win may not pay off. I am challenging you to look back and recognize moments in your life when loss was too hard and you ignored alignment to win again. not to make changes back there. to prepare ourselves for our reaction to the urge w...

210 // how to find your purpose. 15.05.2020

there are steps right. you think you will find it just walking along. i believe diving into the first part of this work finding where your limiting beliefs come from, discovering what alignment looks like for you allows you to manifest your dream life. but if we don'w show up for that work first we will never get anywhere we feel good. we will keep being everywhere and no where like I was. i want...

209 // how to find yourself. 14.05.2020

i believe that before you do anything knowing who you are is the only important step. most humans have to go back and rediscover that before they can really find alignment. so if you were starting over or dreaming new dreams or wanting to align your life with what matters to you knowing who you are and what you are about before diving in is probably the most important step. but we are conditioned...

episode 208: how to manifest your dream life. 13.05.2020

are you even willing to write down what you actually want? like if you removed every reality because if we are being 100% honest with ourselves, people with worse realities have done big things so go ahead and remove that one right away. if you were even willing to write those true things down. the ones that live in your imagination even that, might be a big enough step to start the manifestation....
