Yet, there is one reality that we all undeniably have in common. For each and every one of us, there are 24 hours in a day. The people who realize their potential and make their dreams come true understand that those hours are precious, and refuse to squander the majority of their free time on distractions. Eva shares how she has been spending her free time recently (hint: it’s not been binge watching shows on Netflix) and challenges all Big Dreamers to be mindful of how they are spending their time.

We’ve spent the majority of our time in the past few months in Big Bear Lake, a mountain village a few hours outside of Los Angeles. The beauty is in nature — the snow capped mountains, the majestic trees, and of course the stunning lake. The town itself is charming, but as you can imagine there are no tall buildings and just a small selection of restaurants and shops in the charming village. That’s probably why it came as a complete shock to our system when we decided to visit Las Vegas this past weekend. Turns out, it is only a 3 hour drive from Big Bear Lake. So we decided to go on an adventure. Eva and Sophia were simply amazed that in this barren desert, Big Dreamers had built a pyramid, New York, Paris, Venice, and of course if you’ve been to Vegas you know the list goes on and on. In this episode, Eva shares some highlights from the trip, and how it inspired her more than ever to Dream Big. I must say it was surreal to take our kids to see one of the great illusionists of our time, David Copperfield, who Olga and I remember from our own childhood. Enjoy the episode!

We spent a ton of time skiing this winter. We always had wanted to give our girls the gift of learning how to ski before their adult years. We had taken them for snow days here and there in prior years, but this season we decided to go all out. We bought season passes, purchased equipment, and made sure to make the most of the investment! I’m estimating our kids got at least 25 days on the slopes in February and March! Both Eva and Sophia learned so much from the experience, and Eva thought it would be helpful to share some of the life lessons that kids (and adults) learn from skiing! And of course, there is always a connection to dreaming big and how learning to ski can help you move towards your dreams. Enjoy! For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/297
Eva shares an important lesson about what we can learn from a glass of water, and it’s not about how drinking lots of water is healthy (which it is!). Instead, it is an inspirational story about the weight of water. If you hold a glass of water for a few minutes, you probably won’t notice the weight. But what if you held that glass of water with your arm outstretched for 10 minutes, or 10 hours. That glass would start to feel very, very heavy. At some point, you wouldn’t be able to hold it any longer and it would fall to the ground. This is a wonderful metaphor to explain what it is like holding on to stress and worries. There is a difference between being stressed for 10 seconds versus 10 minutes versus 10 hours, right? Eva shares why it is so important to not let your stresses weigh you down with a little help from this wonderful story about the weight of water. For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/296
Today, Eva shares a uniquely human trait, which also has the potential to be an incredible gift (if we choose to make it a gift). And that is the ability to choose, to decide, how we interpret the events and circumstances in our lives. Of course, with choice comes the ability to make both good and bad decisions. So today, Eva recounts a recent story from her own life about not making the right decision and compares that to inspirational stories of prior guests on the Dream Big Podcast. With this perspective, Eva reminds us all how we can embrace this uniquely human characteristic to make empowering (rather than destructive) decisions in our own lives.

We absolutely love it when we discover that scientific studies back up something that we intuitively knew to be true. In the case of this episode, Eva talks about the “High Five.” Everyone loves receiving a High Five — but just how powerful is it… Well in this episode, Eva shares a study that she heard the great Mel Robbins talking about in a recent interview. The study demonstrated that the High Five is far more powerful than verbal praise. Eva shares the details of the study, explains why High Fives can have such an extraordinary impact, and challenges all Big Dreamers to give High Fives more often!

This episode is likely to be one of the most controversial Eva has ever published, at least among the younger big dreamers who would love nothing more than to spend hours of time each day watching TV, perusing TikTok or playing video games. But this is the DREAM BIG podcast, and the truth is that too many people are destroying their big dreams by spending all their “free” time every day on anything but working towards their big dreams. Studies show that the average American spends more than 6 hours every day watching TV and on social media. That’s 6 hours per day that could be spent making progress on your dreams. In this episode, Eva shares her 3-part strategy for reclaiming many of those hours, and how you can ensure that this newfound time will be spent on working towards your big dreams.

We all have problems. Every human on earth can find something to complain about. Some stress. Some aggravation. Something that is going wrong in their life. Yet while we can look for what’s wrong, we can also look for what’s right! And that is Eva’s message in this episode. Even better, Eva shares how we as a family train our brain every evening at dinner to look for what’s going right in our lives. It’s amazing how 5-10 minutes of gratitude practiced every day can change the way you view the world. For our show notes, visit DreamBigPodcast.com/292
