Mentor Note:

"A dream that cannot breathe will quietly become a burden." - Sally Polihronas

Lets Dive in...

Hello Reader,

I've been speaking a lot lately about my little girl dreams, all I wanted was to dance, perform and become a popstar and to earn a living doing what I loved.

But..... I have to tell you those dreams have changed a lot since then. Yes I'm living and have lived parts of my little girl dreams, but as you step into the dream, the dream reinvents itself and quite often you can stay stuck trying to create something that just doesn't align with who you are anymore.

You started with a dream, maybe it kept you going, gave you direction, made you feel something in your body when you talked about it. But now? It’s not lighting you up anymore or it's a little different.

That’s not failure, that’s growth!

You may have changed spiritually, creatively or emotionally.
And when your dream no longer fits who you’ve become, trying to force it drains your energy.

You don’t need to burn everything down. But you do need to ask:
​Is this still true for me? Or is this just familiar?

Don't be afraid to let the old dream go so that you can rebuild a new one based on who you are today.

​

The Takeaway

Letting go of an outdated dream doesn’t mean you’re quitting.
It means you’re clearing space for something more aligned.

You’re not lost, you’re in transition and that’s where the new magic begins.

I want to gently remind you that sometimes, your dream gets interrupted by forces you didn’t choose; a breakup, a job loss, illness, grief. Life cracks open in unexpected places.

But even in the mess, you still hold the power to redirect.

The moment you allow a new vision to form, even a faint one, the universe begins to respond. It can’t move if you stay stuck in what was.

Maybe the partner wasn’t right, but the dream of love still breathes in you.
Maybe that career wasn’t what you imagined, but the calling didn’t disappear, it just wants to take a new shape.

When you treat every chapter, the joyful, the hard, the confusing as a part of your becoming, you stop resisting the messy and start alchemizing it.

​

​

Something to Try

Revisit your original vision, then ask: What feels true now? What feels dead weight?

• Write a new dream statement. Let it evolve - no pressure, just permission.
• Say it out loud to someone you trust and anchor it in reality.

​

Always love hearing from you, stay connected.

Until next week,

Much love,

Sally xx

Little Reminders:

Pause Before Pushing If your energy drops every time you think about your “goal,” that’s your body talking. Listen.

You’re not behind - you’re realigning. Growth means editing your world as you go. Stop shaming yourself for outgrowing what no longer serves.

Let your brand evolve with you. Audiences crave authenticity - let them grow with you, not the past version of you.
