In our very first Dream Life podcast, Kristina speaks with Dr Tererai Trent, one of the most internationally-recognised voices for quality education and women’s empowerment – and Oprah Winfrey’s all-time favourite guest! Born into poverty, uneducated and married, Tererai was already a mother of four by the age of 18. Little did she know that a chance visit by an American woman, who inspired her to dream would lead to her mother encouraging her to write her seemingly unachievable dreams down on paper. This became the starting point for an inspirational journey to making her dreams a reality. Dr Tererai Trent is living proof of the power of dreaming, and that no matter where you start in life, your dreams are achievable. In fact, her story is so powerful, we had to create a two-part podcast in order to share it all with you. In this episode - part 1 of 2 - you will discover… How Tererai overcame a difficult childhood in rural Zimbabwe and how you can apply her simple approach to your own challenges How a chance visit from a stranger sparked her incredible dreaming journey, inspiring her to dream big – and how that can work for you The power of writing your dreams on paper How you can start from anywhere and achieve your own dreams How you can overcome obstacles and barriers as you chase your dreams, including how to deal with self-doubt How, no matter the circumstances you’re coming from, you can achieve everything you dream, and so much more!
