Do you have a long list of dreams—but no idea where to start?Parents often feel torn between wanting a meaningful, adventurous life…and the realities of raising kids, managing a home, and juggling responsibilities. How do you pick the right dream to pursue first—without sacrificing your marriage, health, or family?In today’s conversation, Greg and Rachel break down the exact five-step process they’ve used for 20+ years to chase bold, meaningful goals while raising seven kids, traveling to over 60 countries, homeschooling, and building a business.You’ll learn how to prioritize your dreams, avoid sacrifices that damage what matters most, and identify the “first step” that naturally unlocks momentum for every other goal.Whether you’re overwhelmed by possibilities or unsure how to start, this episode will help you get clarity, build confidence, and make meaningful progress toward the life you actually want—one small step at a time.Key Takeaways✅ Write every dream down — clarity comes from seeing your full list on paper.✅ Follow your intuition and repeated nudges — they’re often guideposts toward your best future.✅ Aim for alignment — choose the dream that makes the other dreams easier.✅ Consider urgency — some dreams (like traveling with kids) have a limited window.✅ Protect the core areas — never sacrifice marriage, parenting, health, or spirituality to chase a goal.✅ Morning routines fuel everything — they give you the energy, clarity, and stability to pursue big goals.✅ Forward motion reveals the path — obstacles show you where to start and what to fix first.✅ Dreams require identity growth — you become the person who can achieve the dream by pursuing it.MEMORABLE QUOTES🗣 “You don’t have to see the whole path—you just have to take the first step.”🗣 “Any meaningful dream requires you to grow into the person who can achieve it.”🗣 “You can’t pursue big goals while sacrificing your marriage, health, or kids.”🗣 “Write it all down.
