What if success wasn’t the goal—but joy was?
In this uplifting episode, Your Dream Strategist Rashidat Odeyemi joins Dawn to explore what it means to create a soft life filled with alignment, curiosity, and celebration. Together they unpack burnout recovery, the myths of hustle culture, and how to rehydrate your “dreaming gland.”
From roller coasters to rest, Rashidat reminds us that we can plan our joy just as intentionally as our achievements—and that being gentle with ourselves is the most radical act of all.
