Dream Chasers

By: Alison O'Leary | The Dream Chasers Show
  • Summary

  • I am a Dream Chaser, as well as a certified Life and Career Coach, who delights in helping people pursue the career and lifestyle changes their inner self truly craves. In 2008, I made a radical discovery – my full and seemingly fulfilling life was making me seriously ill. I realised that things had to change and fast. As a result this meant moving my life out of the centre of London, and away from my corporate high-paced job, to rural Wales and re-training to embark on a completely new profession and working for myself. Dream Chasers are people who are ready to make actionable moves to craft their ideal career and life, aligned with what brings them joy and delight, on their own terms. This show is intentionally designed to infuse you with inspiration and practical advice on how to live true to yourself, go after your goals and radically conquer any obstacles standing in your way. You can expect to learn from like-minded Dream Chasers who are on their journey to transition to a new way of living and working, or from those who have already achieved their own version of happiness and success...their way. I have candid, uplifting and energetic conversations with friends, fellow experts, colleagues and clients, intended to give you a dose of humour, positivity and practical foresight. Living your life, true to you, is simple and daring. This show is here to give you solid insights and guidance to pursue your own transformation as you go in the direction of your epic dreams, happiness and greater meaning.

  • EP0021 | Business Ideas Can Get Better with Time, Reflection and Fresh Eyes, with Paul Spiers
    Oct 10 2024
    In this episode:

    I’ve asked one of my favourite people, my awesome friend, Paul Spiers, to share his entrepreneurial journey with us.

    Paul and I met about 10 years ago, when we worked together in our old lives, and I’ve always been massively inspired by his creativity, his thoughtful perspectives, and his tenacity.

    Paul is a serial entrepreneur. He’s founded and experimented with different businesses over the years, including a marketing communications agency and a surf clothing brand.

    Today, he’s a passionate advocate of principled leadership and powerful purpose, working as a global keynote speaker, a conference and panel moderator, and he’s the founder and host of The New P&L® podcast, which is an internationally respected, top 5% business podcast series that covers the intersection of leadership, culture, people and purpose.

    Come join us as Paul shares the reality behind his entrepreneurial journey, how he ignites his creativity to come up with ideas and pivot when necessary, and why it’s never too late to act on an idea that you’ve had for years.

    I’d love to know what you think after you’ve listened to this one.

  • EP020 | How to Reboot Your Fun Quota, with Alison O’Leary
    Sep 26 2024
    In this episode:

    I’m covering the subject of FUN!

    Because frankly, many of us are not getting enough of it in our daily lives.

    This episode has been inspired by the BBC TV series, Race Across the World. I’m obsessed with it and love the life insights gleaned from watching the experiences the contestants have while competing.

    On the celebrity version of the show, I was touched by the relationship between Jeff Brazier and his 19-year-old son, Freddy, and the lessons coming through from Freddy about how to build fun back into life.

    If you feel like you could do with an injection of excitement, play, joy, laughter and just a general zest for life, stay tuned as I’m going to share four simple ways to reboot and amp up your fun quota, as inadvertently taught by Freddy himself!

  • EP019 | How to Remove Imposter Syndrome for Good, with Alison O’Leary
    Sep 12 2024
    In this episode:

    I tackle something that a lot of people really struggle with and that’s IMPOSTER SYNDROME.

    If you suffer from:

    …persistent self-doubt and second-guessing yourself

    …feeling like a fraud (and afraid you’ll be found out soon)

    …regularly questioning your intelligence or abilities

    …a perpetual fear that you aren’t good enough

    …or your daily lived experience involving relentless worry, anxiety and overthinking


    Then this episode is for you.

    Imposter Syndrome does nothing except get in the way of you fulfilling your true potential.

    It stops you going after your personal and professional dreams (and it feels bloody awful to boot!)

    Join me in this solo episode where I delve into: what imposter syndrome looks like (so you can judge if it’s something you personally struggle with); why it isn’t something that you were born with and therefore stuck with; where imposter syndrome actually comes from (with some brain science to explain it), and really importantly, why it is totally possible to remove it once and for all.

    Sound good? Excellent. Click and listen in now.
