It starts with the dream

I haven’t told you everything… miracles in the goal setting gap

I’ve been preparing for my upcoming course on designing dreams, set to launch soon as a live program spanning eight weeks.

As I plan, I’ve been reflecting on the process of envisioning a dream or goal and bringing it to fruition. I realised there’s an aspect I’ve been missing—what I refer to as the God aspect, the supernatural, or the miraculous.

You can watch the video below, or listen to the podcast or read the transcript underneath.

Design Your Dreams starts early January and the doors will open just after Christmas.

TRANSCRIPT

I’ve been prepping for my course Design your dreams which will be coming out soon.

We’re going to be doing it as a live program where we’re going to have calls each week for eight weeks.

As I’ve been planning for it, I’ve really been digging into like what has happened, what’s the process of like me coming up with a dream, a goal, and then it happening.

And I realised there was a bit that I was kind of missing, and I have touched on it, but I just realised I really not touched on it as much as I feel actually I should, and that is the God aspect, the supernatural aspect, the miracle aspect, however you want to call it.

I found that I would set a goal, have a vision, and when I say I have a vision, I simply mean I see a way, see something in the future, a better way to live, a better way of doing something, something that’s a better solution, and I see that, get an idea, get a dream, and I write it down, and I explore it.

I brainstorm it, everything that could be related to making that happen, all the things that could be involved. And then I turn it into a SMART goal.

I have some other questions. I ask, sort of think about who I need to become, look at the sort of character I would need, the habits, the mindset, and all those things like that, support structures, routines, and turn it into a goal. And then start actioning it.

So I start taking those steps towards it. And then I’ve experience a gap.

A gap from where I am and where I want to be. And this is the bit where I was like I realised I wasn’t really sharing much what happens in the Gap. And that’s when for me something would happen that I would call a miracle.

Something would happen that was beyond what I could do, beyond what my husband could do, because we’re a couple, we’re married, we set our goals together.

We have these bigger overarching visions for our life together as a couple and as a family with our kids.

So there’d be a gap from where we both are, where we want to be, and then something would happen that is beyond his, his doing, beyond what I, I can do on paper when you looked at it.

There’s be a timeframe gap where it would seem impossible for something to happen in that time frame.

This is going to take seven years. And then it’s there’s been a way forward that’s taken six months or just, you know, a different time frame, way shorter, and in a way that we could never have imagined.

So I’m going to just start sharing the whole thing, the whole process and experience.

It might sound weird to you. You might not really believe it. You might just say, oh, it’s just a coincidence or you’ve worked hard and that’s it’s paying off. And you know, that’s fine.

I think we just have to see things how we see things. But I think for me, I just start to feel like actually, I’m just going to share my whole journey, my whole, the whole thing.

And if it resonates, fantastic. And if it doesn’t, that’s fine. There’s so many other amazing teachers out there who teach about goal setting and designing your dreams in your life in a way where it’s more focused on data and analytics and things like that.

So if you don’t want to stick around, you’re welcome. Love you all the best.

But if this is kind of interesting to you, then do keep your eyes out for doors opening in just after Christmas.

And like I said, the aim really, the whole course is really about designing dreams. But I would say it’s, I have it from the perspective of you’ve gone through a bit of a life crisis, a bit of a life change that, ’cause that was the catalyst for me.

It was having this life change of now I’m a mum. I’ve got two boys. I was thinking about like when I was working and commuting. It was a long day. I wasn’t as interested in my career anymore. I didn’t have that same passion. And really it was a kind of industry where they want you to live and breathe it. They want you to go to museums and shows and read fashion magazines after work, go home and be looking at fashion magazines all evening and blogs and, and I just didn’t feel as excited for it.

I wanted to be around my kids more. And I just started to feel like I wanted something different, something that had more of an impact on a more of a person’s emotions.

And I realized I really wanted to help women. And I didn’t know how that was going to look or any of that.

But anyway, I just started to take steps, you know, write these different ideas down, make some plans, start moving towards it.

And yes, it doesn’t always look like how you think. And definitely I don’t think I could have predicted or imagined how everything would turn out.

But each little goal, maybe didn’t go as I thought. It was like a stepping stone. It takes me to another goal, to another goal, and bit by bit, I’m here.

And I’m thinking about how I, you know, it’s, I’m having the kind of lifestyle that I was dreaming of sort of seven, eight years ago.

So this is what this course is all about.

And yes, if you might not have gone through what I call a life crisis or a life change, I think it’s still valuable to you.

But the first module is going to really focus on coming out of that crisis and start to feel better.

Because I do think that when we are in crisis mode, we’re in fight, fight or flight. Our body is in fight or flight. We can’t really create. We can’t really tap into like, you know, our imagination, our problem-solving part of our brain, getting ideas.

It’s very hard because your mind and your brain is just focused on like, I need to survive.

So the first part is like, how can we start to feel better?

And it’s using that crisis, that life change to really help us, as sort of a guide showing us, be what we actually do want, and highlighting like what’s not working in life now, what we don’t want anymore.

And using that as a stepping stone to like, like okay, where where do I want to go? What do I want to be? Who do I want to be? What do I want to do? What’s exciting me? What, what, what adventure can I go? What new adventure can I go in life?

So that is what design your dreams is about. And if that sounds like something you want to do, then do keep an eye out.

There is a waitlist, join it here.

Why people don't want coaching 🤔 can you relate?

I've definitely been there. I have been worried a coach will push me harder than feels comfortable or they'd think my worries were silly or belittle me.

My coaching is client led, safe and confidential. 

I don't judge your goals or desires. I will hold up a mirror to your life but in a gentle and kind way.

You don’t need a crisis to want more.

Sometimes it’s just a quiet knowing:
“I’m meant to express something.”
“I’m meant to build something.”
“I’m meant to live with more intention.”

If you’ve been feeling that nudge, you’re not imagining it.
You might just need space and support to listen.

I’ve opened a gentle, month-to-month 1:1 support space for exactly this season 🤍

Ever felt like you can’t show up because you haven’t fully arrived in the very thing you teach or coach on?

That whisper of “Who am I to help anyone when I’m still figuring this out?” can feel loud.

I’ve walked through that this year. Anxiety rose up in a way I didn’t expect, and it had me feeling like a fraud.  You may also be having some wobbles around the things you teach or share on it. It's normal. 

The journey of growth and healing isn't linear.

But these moments don’t disqualify you. They deepen you. They rebuild character, sharpen compassion and reconnect you to what really matters.

If you’re feeling wobbly, overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, I made something to get you from crisis to clarity.

My free masterclass, Crisis to Clarity, is available to watch until the end of the year.
Grab a warm drink, a notebook,  let’s get you feeling clear and expectant for the year ahead ✨

A year or so after my wedding I did the big chop. If you're not mixed or black you may not be familiar with the phrase. It's cutting off your chemically straightened hair to grow your natural hair back. 

At this point I was done with living to western beauty standards. This was my first radical act of self love, of loving who creator God had made me. 

Lets not pretend that longer hair and straight hair has been coveted in our communities, cutting it all off to go curly was not a little thing. Especially 20 years ago.

I didn't always love how my hair looked or came out in those early days. Especially as it reached the awkward length phase but I knew I wanted to be able to myself and be ok.

Forward 20 years and I'm in a different place with my hair. Some days I have fluffy edges that aren't slicked down 😆 p.s if you want more info on loving your natural hair check out @paigelewinofficial

Going natural was part of my healing and self acceptance journey. People still "wow" when they see old pictures of me with longer straight hair and I get it, but I'm in a place now where it won't affect how I feel about how my hair or the how I look today.

Healing isn't an overnight thing.

If you want someone to walk besides you in your healing journey whether it's faith based or not my doors are open. Let me know if you want to book a coaching discovery call. 

With grit and grace,
Chisomo

Being a Christian Isn't Just a Label — It's a New Identity.

In this post, I share a powerful shift God is stirring in this season: moving from surface-level Christianity to deeply living as sons and daughters of God. This identity shift changes everything—how we live, ask, expect, and show up. Ready to live from your full identity?"

I talk more about this powerful shift in identity in module 1 of Brand New Era. And why it’s key when you want to share your God given message through a business, ministry or gift.

⁠Brand New Era⁠ the self study course is currently open until Thursday 10th July.

The dove, the rushing wind and the tongues of fire are ways the Holy Spirit has been described or experienced. 

Today is Pentecost when the spirit of God lit the church and we believers got to receive God's Spirit alive and living within us for personal transformation and to build his kingdom.

Be blessed 🕊️
