How To Dream

Are you really confused? Or are you scared? In this episode of How to Dream, Deedee Cummings breaks down how fear often disguises itself as "I don't know," "I need more time," or "I'm still figuring it out." If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, this episode will help you get real about what you want, identify what's blocking you, and start building the clarity you desperately want now. You'll walk away with practical reflection questions, a simple and powerful mindset shift, and one doable next step to move forward. You do not need perfect certainty to begin. You need truth, hope, and the right mindset to take the next step.   Download your free chapter of "How to Dream" here!

Deedee Cummings explores the lies we learn about hope and dreams—the subtle messages that teach us to shrink, settle, and stop expecting more from our lives. This episode features a special conversation with Deedee's daughter, Broadway star Kayla Pecchioni, as she reflects on her journey to the Broadway stage and the mindset that helped her keep evolving through each chapter of her career. Kayla shares how her path unfolded step-by-step, starting with what many musical theater graduates do (theme parks and regional theater), moving into cruise ships, touring, and ultimately landing on Broadway. Along the way, she explains how the Make A Way Mindset challenged her to keep asking, "What's next?"—not from pressure, but from possibility. This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in a "good" chapter, fears outgrowing what feels safe, or has been taught that dreaming big is unrealistic. If you're ready to stop letting fear, comparison, or other people's limits narrate your future, this episode will help you reclaim your right to dream, and take the next step.

Hope does not stay alive by accident. This episode is about protecting your inner life from the stress, noise, pressure, and fear that can quietly suffocate your dreams before they ever get a chance to live.

What if wanting more is not greed, but honesty? This episode will challenge the lie that you should feel guilty for desiring a bigger, freer, fuller life and remind you that dreaming is not extra; it is necessary. Get your free chapter of "How to Dream" here.
