Do you remember being a kid and always asking the same question? Remember how we drive our parents and teachers crazy?
It’s such a simple word. One syllable. Three letters. But inside that word now that we’re all grown up… lives a storm.
Today, I’m not here to give you steps, or tips, or strategies. I’m here to ask you questions. Because that’s what good coaches do. They ask real questions. The kind that don’t just live in your head—they echo in your soul.
I’m your Dream Realization Partner. And if you’ve ever felt like your dream is locked in a box… hidden behind excuses… or just buried under life… then this episode is for you.
Today, we release locked-up dreams—not with motivation, but with truth. Let’s begin with one question... asked 25 different ways. That question is why?
Each one designed to shake loose the lies. Each one with a small move you can make today. More on the other side.
