I'm Laurie Drummond, and each episode dives into the psychology, decision-making and identity shifts that separate the 5 percent from the rest. I sit down with people who have taken bold action, navigated uncertainty and built momentum when it would have been easier to stay comfortable, as well as experts who study the science behind human behaviour and performance. These conversations go beyond motivation and surface-level success. We unpack how people think under pressure, why most hesitate when it's time to act, and what actually helps individuals move through fear, resistance and self-doubt. If you're building something, facing a crossroads, or trying to understand what drives execution and resilience, this show will give you a deeper lens on what it takes to move forward when others stall. New episodes every two weeks.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T02:21:06.682569+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-unstoppable-5-6404386"},"episode":{"title":"E55 When your dream shows up in disguise","slug":"e55-when-your-dream-shows-up-in-disguise","published_at":"2025-08-06T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-unstoppable-5-6404386/e55-when-your-dream-shows-up-in-disguise","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-unstoppable-5-6404386","url":"https://3c44c98d-6c6f-48b2-ba6d-a89d14d64f93.libsyn.com/e55-when-your-dream-shows-up-in-disguise","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/3c44c98d-6c6f-48b2-ba6d-a89d14d64f93/SCEP055_xx.mp3?dest-id=3971556","summary":"You had the vision. You knew exactly what life would look like once you reached your dream, until it didn't go the way you imagined. But what if the dream is still there, just showing up in disguise? In this episode of Lounging with Laurie, we talk about: How dreams often unfold in unexpected ways Why a detour doesn't mean you've failed or missed your chance The role of mentors and trusted friends in helping you see what you can't on your own How to stay open and flexible so you can still make it happen Big dreams don't always follow a straight line. Sometimes they show up differently, and that's where the magic really begins. 🎙️ Listen now and remember: your dream isn't denied, it's just showing up in a new way. Summary : You hit the goal. You did the thing. So… why doesn't it feel as good as you thought it would? In this episode of Lounging with Laurie, we're talking about the messy, unspoken truth behind success: that sometimes the moment you've been working towards doesn't feel like much at all. Whether you've launched the business, landed the role, or finally made the move and you're still feeling a bit flat this is the episode you didn't know you needed. What I cover: Why your brain loves the chase more than the finish line (hello, dopamine!) How the goalposts keep shifting (and why you don't even notice) What happens when you forget to bring joy along for the ride I'll share a personal story about moving overseas and the reality check that came with it plus a few moments that reminded me what success really feels like. This is your permission slip to slow down, feel proud, and stop waiting for \"someday\" to let yourself enjoy your life.
