Hey friends and welcome to the happy hour with Jamie Ivy podcast. I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life, the little things in life and everything in between.

Hey friends and welcome to the very first Wednesday of 2022. I am so excited that you've decided to spend a little time with us today over the happy hour. I'm Jamie and I'm your host of this show and I really mean it when I say I'm glad you're here.

I hope that your holidays were really special. I hope that no matter what was going on in the world around you that you were able to sit and reflect and maybe even look back on 2021 and now here we are in the new year. We're gonna spend some time looking forward to 2022. No matter how you feel about new years and resolutions and word of the year, there are plenty of us who look forward to the next year and say man what are some goals I want to do? What do I want to accomplish? What are some things I want to make happen in 2022? So we have two very special episodes for you this week. One today and then another one on

Friday. Both of these shows that were releasing this week were originally released to our Patreon community back in 2019, but it's been a while and we thought why don't we share this with everybody. So we are bringing you some episodes that have never been shared before from some old interviews that I had.

Now today's episode starts out with Laura Casey some of you may know Laura because she put on the show before she's author of make it happen cultivate and she's the creator of the power sheets intentional goal planner, which is amazing if you've ever seen them. She's so great to speaking into goals and dreams, but not just for a career, but really looking at the heart and how do you want to live your life? How do you want to look back when you're 80 and see what you've accomplished and what you've done. She really wants to help women look at what they already have and use it well.

Laura says my hope is to help women to not just add things to their already full plates, but to look at what you already have and use that well. I love that so much and it resonates so much with me. So first up is Laura Casey and next my friend Michelle McKinney joins me. Michelle's also been on the happy hour before. So if you're a long time listener, you've heard her before.

She's a founder of dreams unleashed and the vision playbook, which helps people write, clarify and start their vision today. Michelle's going to share about some of the pitfalls of crushing her dreams and what the true meaning of confidence is you guys I'm really happy to bring these shows to you today and I hope that they help you maybe get a little attention into what you want 2022 to be.

And really our goal here is just how can we come alongside and help you and I hope that this is a help to you.

Hey guys, it is our first extra episode to give you. This is the first episode of our mini series that we're starting in the month of January.

We're covering goals and dreams. I feel like that's a great time to start that for the month of January. I know a lot of you may have been making New Year's resolutions or picking out your word of the year or developing goals and dreams for this year or making a dream board or whatever you might be doing.

I think this is a topic that's all on the forefront of our minds in the month of January.

Well, today our guest is Laura Casey and if there's someone that I think of that talks a lot about goal setting, it's Laura. She has the cultivate what matters, power sheets that she does.

It's kind of her trademark thing and I'll be honest. I've been working through them this month and it's hard work. It's good. Hard work is what it is.

We're going to talk to some other amazing guests that are going to be on this series that we're doing for you guys of goals and dreams. I'm glad we started with Laura because Laura does more than just help you plan out goals to be more successful in your business or be more successful at home.

But Laura says, hey, let's look at the heart. Let's look at where the heart of the matter. Let's look at your big goal. What do you want your life to look like at 80 and I was so encouraged after our conversation.

And I know you will be as well. So a couple of things I want to point out just just listen to the way she talks about using your heart to make goals and dreams. Listen to the way that she talks about the bigger picture, the big dreams that she talks about.

I'm a big fan of hers. I'm just going to tell you and I'll let you know ahead of time right now that we actually do have a scheduled interview with her. So she's going to come on the regular happy hour.
