In this powerful episode of PivotMe, April unpacks the concept of "Touching the Dream"—inspired by Ed Mylett—and what it really means to live into your future life now. Sharing stories from her own life, from paddleboarding in Lake Tahoe to watching her kids play on a private beach, April walks us through how visualizing success and brushing up against it in small, tangible ways actually rewires our belief system. You don’t need to wait until you’ve “made it” to feel what your dream life is like—you can live part of it now.
Key Takeaways:
-
🔑 Visualize It Clearly: Describe your dream in full detail—where you are, who’s with you, what it feels like.
-
💡 You Live at the Level You Believe You Belong: We all unconsciously self-regulate to our perceived worth. Change your belief, change your life.
-
🧘♀️ Touching the Dream Changes Your Baseline: Whether it's staying near the Ritz, renting the car, or walking through your future neighborhood—exposure creates belief.
-
👨👩👧 Normalize the Dream for Your Family: Let your kids see abundance as an option, not a fantasy.
-
📖 Journaling and Visualization: April shares a poignant moment journaling on a porch in Tahoe, realizing she was unknowingly living parts of her dream.
Notable Quotes:
“We live at the level we believe we belong.”
“The more we touch the dream, the more it becomes our new normal.”
“That morning, I realized—I wasn’t just visualizing the dream. I was walking through it.”
Challenge to Listeners:
What can you arrange this month to touch the dream?
✨ Rent your dream car.
✨ Walk the neighborhood you want to live in.
✨ Sit in the first-class lounge—even if you’re flying coach.
Expose yourself to it. Normalize it. Because you’re closer than you think.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
