Dreamer’s Guide to Life is a podcast for people who want more out of life but are also tired, overwhelmed, and carrying a constant mental load.


Hosted by Kristin Hermosillo, this space is for the dreamers who are chasing purpose while juggling real life: family, work, expectations, identity shifts, and the quiet pressure to “have it all together.” Here, we talk honestly about ambition without burnout, happiness without guilt, and growth without pretending everything is easy.


This isn’t about hustle culture or perfect morning routines.

It’s about learning how to hold your dreams and your mental health at the same time.


If you’ve ever felt behind, stuck, overstimulated, or like your brain never shuts off but you still believe there’s more for you —this podcast is for you.


Come as you are. You’re not late. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

The one who believed anything was possible. The one who dreamed without limits, imagined big adventures, and found joy in the smallest moments.

In this episode of A Dreamer’s Guide to Life, Kristin reflects on how Disney stories have inspired her throughout her life and why they continue to remind her of something we often forget as adults—that the little dreamer inside us never truly disappears.

From Jasmine’s longing to explore beyond the palace walls to Moana’s call to follow what was placed on her heart, Kristin shares how these stories mirror our own journeys of overcoming fear, breaking through self-imposed walls, and rediscovering the hopes we’ve buried beneath responsibilities and self-doubt.

She also shares the simple practice that helped her reconnect with herself during one of the hardest seasons of her life: creating a Happy List.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you once were, this episode is your reminder that your dreams are still waiting for you.

The little dreamer inside you is still there.

✨ In This Episode

  • Why perfectionism keeps us from taking the first step
  • How Disney stories inspired the heart behind A Dreamer’s Guide to Life

Some dreams never leave us.

After nearly three years away, I’m returning to A Dreamer’s Guide to Life to share why this podcast has been calling me back and what finally gave me the courage to press record again.

In this first episode of Season 2, I’m opening up about the seasons that changed me—from postpartum depression and losing myself beneath the many roles I carry, to rediscovering the dreams that never truly went away.

This isn’t just the return of a podcast.

It’s the beginning of a new chapter.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself, questioned your purpose, or wondered if it’s too late to start again, I hope this conversation reminds you that your dreams are still waiting for you.

Because dreams don’t expire.

🌟 In This Episode

  • Why A Dreamer’s Guide to Life went quiet for nearly three years
  • My journey through postpartum depression and rediscovering myself
  • Navigating motherhood, career, and the many roles we carry
  • The fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome that kept me from coming back
  • Why I believe it’s never too late to pursue your dreams
  • What you can expect from this new season
  • Building a community where dreamers belong
