When was the last time you dreamed without editing yourself down? In this episode, Robyn White blends insights from her book Three Permissions with neuroscience on the Default Mode Network, mental simulation, and dopamine’s anticipation effect to show why dreaming isn’t a luxury -  it’s a leadership skill.

You’ll hear how vivid, repeated dreaming strengthens the neural pathways that support real-world action, why anticipation can fuel motivation long before a dream is achieved, and how to make space for dreams without guilt. Plus, practical steps to bring a dream closer and your weekly permission slip to imagine without limits.
