Wake Up & Dream Project
I’m gifting free coaching conversations to 20 individuals between February 1st and April 1st
We are living in a time of massive transition.
As our society continues to play out the scarcity myth and ongoing effects of dominator culture, we can easily get wrapped up in fear, shame, doubt, and anger. Individually and collectively, I believe we are being invited to wake up to the internal and external forces that are shaping our current realities and imagine new ways of being.
We can’t skip the painful parts if we are going to uproot them.
But we can shine a light on them, get to know them more intimately, and question our relationship to them.
We can challenge the foundation of current systems and consider who they’re truly working for.
We can choose to imagine other ways forward and dream them into being through our actions.
When you wake up & dream, you support paradigm shifts that inspire new ways of operating, more creativity, and more freedom. It all starts with you.
Join the project by scheduling a free 90-minute coaching conversation to explore what’s here now and what’s possible for the future.
“To be truly visionary we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality.”

What is this project?
The Wake Up & Dream Project is a gift of 20 coaching calls (one call per participant) in 60 days. In a Wake Up & Dream call, you’ll have the space to name what you’ve been waking up to. Once you’re clearer on what’s here now, we’ll employ your imagination to dream up new ways of being. Whether you dream of massive global shifts or a little more ease in your daily life, we’ll explore ways of navigating your current reality and orienting toward your dreams.
The Logistics
Each call in this project will be 90 minutes and will take place via Zoom (audio-only). In our time together, participants will:
Have space to name and reflect on what you’ve been waking up to, personally and collectively
Mine your discoveries for meaning. Explore what’s important about what you’re noticing and uncover what this is showing you about your dreams for a different future
Orient toward your dreams. Find practical ways to actively participate in creating a world where these dreams can come alive
Be witnessed and supported with intuitive guidance as you explore
Identify actions you can take and resources that can support you to continue dreaming
This call is a gift. I’m delighted to dream with you. They’re also a great way to experience what it’s like to work with me.
IF it feels right to both of us and IF you explicitly invite this conversation, we may take about 15 minutes at the end to discuss working together more. There is zero obligation here. If it’s not a fit, we’ll simply wrap up with ideas for action steps and resources.
As a coach, I will honor your experience, ask powerful questions, and promote your capacity to make conscious choices. You are in the driver’s seat. All of your information and the content of our call will be kept confidential.

This may be for you if:
You’ve been shaken awake by realities you can no longer ignore. You’re willing to see what is here, even if it’s uncomfortable.
You are open to feeling messy. Waking up and dreaming are both nonlinear processes. We might feel horrified one moment and inspired the next. It might not be pretty, but, with support, you’re willing to take the very next step.
You’re invested in your power. You recognize that your willingness to wake up and dream creates ripple effects that can change the world.
You are ready to dig deep. Our biggest dreams have a way of hiding in plain sight. This project is for those who choose to excavate, diving below the surface to find what is real and true.
This may NOT be for you if:
You’re not willing to challenge your current beliefs. Our thinking tends to lack nuance and repeat itself on a loop until we disrupt it. We’re moving beyond cynicism (nothing changes!) and toxic positivity (things improve on their own!) to find another way forward.
You’re looking for a quick fix. Real change takes time, but every step in the right direction is powerful. It starts with a willingness to see what’s here and imagine another way.
You want to talk about concepts without experiencing new things. Naming our observations, beliefs, and hopes are just the first step to creating change. Taking aligned action requires the courage to leave behind the familiar.
You don’t believe in your capacity to dream. Sometimes we get so bogged down by what we see in the world that dreaming feels out of reach. If you’re not ready to dream at this time, that’s okay. Be where you are now. I believe your capacity to dream can and will return.
How do I get a spot in the Wake Up & Dream Project?
Schedule Your Call. Click the “Schedule Your Call” button or scroll down to sign up for our one-time conversation.
Complete the Questionnaire. Answer a few questions as you see fit in the moment, knowing your answers may change before, during, or after our call.
Breathe. Carving out time for this conversation is powerful. Can you feel the shift beginning already?
Show Up. Please select a time you can commit to and treat it with care in your calendar. I have limited availability and want to support those who are willing to prioritize their dreams.
Feel free to reach out to me with questions or concerns.
Your imagination is more powerful than you could ever know. And it’s important to look at the gap between your current reality and your wildest dreams. Shaking things up and shifting paradigms is work we do in community. I’m honored to guide you along this part of your journey.

Between February 1st and April 1st, I am gifting coaching conversations to 20 individuals to help us Wake Up & Dream.
TRANSPARENCY NOTE:
Projects like this are part of how I connect with my ideal coaching clients and fill the limited coaching spots I have available in my practice, but these calls are not sales consults. They are designed to have value for you as a stand-alone experience.
These calls also create an opportunity for me to deepen relationships with people in my community (like you!), learn more about what you need, and reciprocate the gifts I have received from coaching by paying it forward.
If our conversation leads to a place where coaching together seems like an ideal next step for both of us, we will discuss working together during this call. If it’s not a fit or not the right time to consider coaching, we’ll wrap up the conversation with action steps or resources that support you where you are.
Thank you, Kate Holly & Andrea Leda, for this model of generosity and transparency.
Use this calendar to schedule your one-time Wake Up & Dream call. Please be sure to complete the accompanying questionnaire!
