How My Dreams Changed Over Five Years—and What I Want Now Instead
Five years ago, my dreams were about external validation—titles, recognition, climbing higher. Today, they've evolved into something more personal and authentic. I hope to stay consistent with training because it keeps my brain functioning and stress manageable. I wish my son could find even one close friend—it would change his world. I dream of taking my family to Europe without budget constraints and reconnecting with my adventuring self alongside Casey as our kids become more independent. Professionally, I dream of getting my book published and seeing incredible things happen that I can't even imagine yet. The shift from wanting to be impressive to wanting to be useful reflects growth, not just aging. Dreams that feel too big to say out loud are usually the ones most worth pursuing.
