What if one word swap could change how you show up every single day? Ellen Whiteside has been using it for years - and it works.

I sit down with Ellen Whiteside, a dream builder coach, speaker, retreat leader, and owner of Sacred Grove Retreat Center in Gold Hill, North Carolina for the past 20 years. Ellen is a lifelong student of personal growth and metaphysical principles, and she helps people reconnect with their dreams and create lives they truly love.

In this conversation, Ellen shares the single coaching business mindset shift that changed how she runs her entire life and practice. Stop saying "I have to." Start saying "I get to." It sounds tiny. The impact isn't.

You'll also hear the story of how Ellen used vision and mindset to manifest exactly the car she wanted after hers was totaled - right down to the insurance payout, the down payment, and the lower monthly payment. It's a practical, grounded example of what it actually looks like to live into a vision instead of just thinking about it.

Ellen is now at a crossroads herself. After 20 years at Sacred Grove, she's ready for a new chapter - one that might include walking the Camino de Santiago and travelling the world. This episode is a reminder that the permission to dream big doesn't have an expiry date.
