But I can tell you who we are seeing PLENTY OF — and that’s our immediate family. In our case, that’s Olga (mom), Alex (dad), Eva (you all know her!),and Sophia (sister). When you spend that much time with the same people day-after-day, week-after-week, everyone is bound to get on each other’s nerves at times. So in this episode Eva shares her top strategies for what to do when your family is DRIVING YOU CRAZY. I’m sure you all can relate 🙂 Please enjoy this fun episode with helpful strategies!

One of our family’s favorite teachers is Brendon Burchard. Ever since this pandemic started, Brendon has been sharing amazing ideas on how to train your brain and actually use this time as an opportunity to grow. In this episode, Eva share’s Brendon’s concept of adopting a role model mindset. Specifically, for our younger Big Dreamers, Eva explains what it means to be a role model, and why COVID-19 presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for kids to be a role model to their friends and family. In our house, Eva has really stepped up to be a role model for her sister Sophia about how to stay calm and upbeat during a global crisis. At 4 years old and with a huge personality, Sophia can be more than a handful. Eva does admit that a few times she has lost her cool, but for the most part adopting Brendon’s strategy of being a role model has been super helpful and strengthened their bond. Please do check out Brendon’s amazing work (links in the resources section), and hopefully he’ll be a guest on our podcast in the not-so-distant-future 🙂 Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/193
We believe that kids (and adults) can always find time to learn new skills BUT obviously your time is much more limited when you are at school from 8am-3pm and have after-school activities too! Those excuses don’t really work when you are stuck at home, right? And while many schools are still offering online classes — if we are being honest there are now many hours per day that have freed up as a result of the pandemic. Eva’s challenge to the Big Dreamers is to come out of this pandemic and be able to say you picked up some new skills. In this episode, Eva shares some of the skills she has developed during the last month, and will inspire your kids to pick up new skills and passions too! Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/192
Mel Robbins was Eva’s guest in Episode 47 of the Dream Big Podcast. We are great admirers of her work, and not surprisingly, Mel has really stepped up for her community during the pandemic. In one recent Instagram post, she described how what we are experiencing right now feels like going through rough turbulence on an airplane. And how the calm demeanor of the pilot and stewards has such a powerful impact on the emotions of the passengers. In this episode, Eva shares the analogy (which Mel credits to author Elizabeth Gilbert) and explains why we must remain calm in this situation as well, for ourselves but also for our loved ones. Thank you Mel for the inspiration, as always. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/191
These are chaotic times. For the past 3 weeks, we haven’t seen our friends or relatives in person. We haven’t really even left the house, other than a few times per day to go on walks or bike rides around the neighborhood. We don’t know if this will be our reality for a few more weeks or a number of months – but ultimately our communities will re-open, kids will be back at school, and we’ll be able to hug our friends and family once again. When we look back at this unique time in our lives five or ten years from now, how will we remember this time? What will we remember most from the time we spent at home with our family? Eva shares that what we’ll remember most is the overall energy of the home. We’ll remember the feelings we were experiencing. We can’t control the virus, and we can’t control the chaos that is happening outside our homes but we can control the vibe, the energy, and the experience we are having in our house. That’s why Eva keeps on talking to the Big Dreamers about the power of a positive mindset. Ultimately it is up to us how we internalize this experience. Here at the Karpman household, we are making the decision to make this a positive one. In Episode 190, Eva shares 5 creative ideas that have worked wonders for our family during this challenging time. Join our Dream Big Squad Facebook Group and let us know what you are doing to keep things upbeat and positive in your home! Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/190
If you turn on the 24-7 news machine, 99.9% of stories are about the terrible illness, death and havoc that the Corona Pandemic is unleashing on the world. We do stay informed, especially with regards to health guidelines, but we are purposefully avoiding most news stories and we certainly don’t let our kids watch it. Why? Because, as we learned in Episode 188, we must stand guard at the door of our mind. While we don’t let the negative headlines constantly infiltrate our minds, we do actively seek out inspirational stories of hope, kindness and love. In this episode Eva shares some of those stories to illustrate how we can find beauty even in this very ugly virus. We are such a creative and resilient people — and these stories give us great hope as Big Dreamers in the future of humanity. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/189
There’s a powerful phrase by one of the original legends in personal development, Jim Rohn, who would often say that “Stand Guard At the Door of Your Mind.” When our kids hear the words “Stand Guard,” they likely think about the Queen’s Guard that is charged with guarding the official royal residences in the United Kingdom. Last year before we entered this new CoronaVirus no-travel reality, Eva and I went to London and had the chance to see the Queen’s guards at Buckingham palace. You know, the soldiers who wear the red uniforms with the tall black hat. But Mr. Rohn’s advice is to stand guard at the door of your mind. In today’s episode, Eva explores what that means, and why now more than ever it is important to heed Mr. Rohn’s advice. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/188
It was a great honor to have IN-Q as a guest on the Dream Big Podcast. IN-Q is based in Los Angeles, so we were even fortunate enough to meet IN-Q and do the interview face-to-face, just a few weeks before the Stay At Home orders took effect. If you are not familiar with IN-Q’s work, you should be! IN-Q is one of today’s greatest living poets. He’s a National Poetry Slam champion and multi-platinum songwriter. His groundbreaking achievements include being named to Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 list of the world’s most influential thought leaders, and being the first spoken word artist to perform with Cirque Du Soleil. We are so excited to support IN-Q with the launch of his book “Inquire Within” which brings IN-Q’s powerful poems to paper and invites you on a journey to the center of the soul. IN-Q performs one of his incredible poems during the interview with Eva and we believe that every family should have a copy of his book on their coffee table as a source for inspiration, especially during these challenging times. IN-Q was kind enough to send us an advanced copy, and it is simply incredible. Thank you IN-Q for sharing your gift with the Big Dreamers, and please support IN-Q by going to IN-Q.com and ordering your copy of Inquire Within today!
