Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello and welcome to the Brogmancia Podcast, where healing isn't

I'm a fellow traveler on this wild, beautiful journey called life.

(00:49):
and the kind of growth that starts from within, whether

(01:09):
truth telling because healing should be intentional, rooted and yes,
deeply transformational. So take a deep breath, settle in and
join me each Wednesday as we glow up, grow deep,

(01:30):
and gently let go. Hello and welcome back Brignancis to
the Brigmancia Podcast. I am your host, Charlotte Adams, and
today in the Charlotte Corner, the message is your body

(01:50):
keeps the wisdom. Don't just think your way through healing,
feel your way through bring nancies. Your body carries memories,
it carries survival patterns and spiritual truths. So practice body
based therapeutic experiences and breath work and grounding daily to

(02:16):
access deeper levels of healing. All right, So today's podcast
is titled He Drew the Dream, and I want to
share something that happens with my son Connor. When he

(02:38):
was about in the first or second grade, we took
him to visit a beautiful, multimillion dollar home and you all,
in order to even get to this home, you had
to go through this iron gate. Know the code. When
you pass through the iron gate, you try over this

(03:01):
beautiful bridge that was over a beautiful pond with flowering trees.
And on the other side of the bridge, it was
a very elite community with about twelve homes, all located
on this gorgeous lake. So this home had everything. It

(03:27):
had sprawling views of the lake, gate, sparkling swimming pool,
space to run and rest and dream. It had its
own beach. It was one of those homes where your
soul exhales just by standing still. And Connor was so excited,

(03:52):
His whole face lit up, his little feet ran across
the floors like he already belonged there, And the most
touching thing happened. The next day. He went to school
and as part of his first grade class activity, he

(04:12):
drew that home. He drew us, our family moving into
the home with a truck and everything. It wasn't just
a home to him. He didn't doubt it, he didn't hesitate.

(04:33):
He dreamed with boldness and drew it into existence. So
many of us have forgotten how to dream like that.
We weigh the how before we even let ourselves want.
We filter everything through the lens of what we think

(04:57):
we can afford, what makes sense, or what won't disappoint us.
But our children, they lead with desire, with faith, with joy,
and the vision untainted by limitation. Connor's drawing reminded me

(05:21):
of something sacred, that believing in a future we haven't
touched yet is its own form of prayer. That our
nervous systems don't just need safety, they need imagination. That
visualizing joy is not naive, it's necessary. So here's your

(05:53):
heart work today, family, Find some quiet, grab a piece
of paper, or open your notes app on your phone
and draw your dream. Not a business plan, not a spreadsheet,
not what's practical. Draw the life your inner child would

(06:19):
have smiled at. Because your nervous system needs more than survival,
it needs the blueprint of joy. Connor didn't just draw
a house. He anchored a vision into our field. And
I'm letting it shift me. I'm letting it remind me

(06:44):
that sometimes the most powerful manifestations begins with crayons and
not credentials. To everyone listening, children are watching you dream,

(07:05):
and sometimes they dream on your behalf. When you're too
tired to dream, let Connor's drawing remind you your future home,
your vision, your safe place. It's not lost, it's just

(07:28):
waiting for you to remember it again. Thank you, Thank
