3933 How Grief Affects Your Mindset
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Grief isn’t just about losing a loved one. It’s a full-body, mind-consuming response to any meaningful loss: a job, a home, a relationship, a dream gone sideways. If you don’t understand how grief rewires your mindset, it can trap you in a mental box where all you see is what’s broken—and how far you are from climbing out of that dark hole. When you understand how grief affects your mindset, you get why you're paralyzed, stuck replaying the what, why, and how over and over, missing the possibility of what’s next. So let’s get real: grief is brutal, disorienting, and...

3930 Intentional Parenting that Moves Mountains
Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo
Every new year brings a fresh chance to hit the reset button — including how you show up as a parent. But let's be real: parenting is hard, exhausting, and often thankless. If you coast through it, thinking your kids will "figure it out," you’re setting everyone up for frustration and chaos. Kids need more than just food and shelter; they need consistent guidance, love, and boundaries; it's intentional parenting that moves mountains. Because when you slack off, what you get is exactly what you put in — kids who push limits, test boundaries, and fill the void left by absent parenting....

But here’s the truth: It’s easy to fall into the trap of “we’ve always done it this way.” And sure—that’s comfortable. Maybe even safe. But if you want to go beyond the status quo, if you want more out of this life you’re building together, those same old dreams won’t get you there.
So why not dream bigger as a team? Simply put—you’re better together.
Let’s stop letting the new year’s magnificent magic slip through the cracks.
Aim higher. Dream wider.
Shoot for something you’ve never gone after before. When married partners dream big and are in sync, everything changes. The energy shifts. You create momentum that neither of you could have mustered alone.
It's the time to create your now and dream bigger together!
The K.I.S.S. ~ Dream bigger together!
And that means you are doing it together!! It might sound weird to say that, but when all you do is what you've done, you must be intentional about what needs to change in how you live your life together.
And that's the key: living life together! You cannot dream the life you want to live if you don't do it together; otherwise, it's only your dream.
Here are 3 powerful moves you can make right now to dream bigger together—and make this new year your best yet:
1. Share Your Wildest Dreams Out Loud (No Judgment Allowed)
Forget what’s reasonable for a moment. What would you dream if you knew you couldn’t fail? Drop the sensible, practical masks and get real. Then share those dreams with your spouse—no criticism, no shutting down, only curiosity and encouragement.
When you put your dreams into words, they become real. And when you lay them side-by-side, you’ll find common ground, overlap, and unexpected new ideas. This raw honesty builds connection and opens the door to bigger possibilities.
2. Pick One Bold Goal To Chase as a Team
It’s tempting to try to tackle 10 things at once, but dreams expand way faster when you focus. So get laser-focused. Agree on one big goal that excites both of you—something that lights a fire in your hearts and pushes your limits.
Whether it’s saving for a dream home, starting a business, or training for a marathon—having a shared target aligns your efforts and energy, fuels daily action, and keeps you accountable to each other. This is when dreams become your reality.
3. Create a Dream Ritual to Keep the Momentum
Dreams don’t turn into reality by accident. They need regular attention. Set a monthly or quarterly “dream date” where you review your progress, celebrate wins, adjust goals, and dream even bigger.
This ritual keeps your partnership sharp and motivated. It makes dreaming a constant priority, not just a New Year’s resolution that fades by February, or earlier.
The big secret? Your marriage isn’t what holds back your dreams—it’s the very thing that can launch them into orbit. When you dream bigger together, you don’t just add value to your marriage—you multiply your chances of living a life most only wish for.
So, no more solo resolutions. No more settling for “good enough.” This year, make a pact with your spouse: To dream big. To support each other relentlessly. To chase something worth getting up for every day.
Because your biggest, boldest dreams are always done better together.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
