In this episode of Talk Time, Meredith McCarthy explores the powerful difference between imagining a better life and actually taking the steps to create it. As a clinical hypnotherapist with over 30 years of experience, Meredith unpacks why so many people begin each year full of hope and good intentions but fall into procrastination, fear, or uncertainty before real progress is made.

This conversation is a practical, grounded look at how to move from dreaming to doing. Meredith discusses:

• Why imagination and manifesting alone won’t create the change you want
• How fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and old belief patterns keep people stuck
• Why clarity is essential for motivation
• The value of starting with a “mind dump” to define your best life
• How to build momentum with small, achievable steps
• How to reverse-engineer your long-term goals
• The role of mentors in accelerating growth
• How hypnosis can support confidence, mindset, and follow-through
• Why daily habits matter more than big bursts of motivation
• How to become the architect of your own life rather than living on autopilot

If you’ve ever felt held back by procrastination, self-doubt, or confusion about your direction, this episode offers practical guidance to help you reset, refocus, and begin taking steps toward the life you want to live.
