We Share Big Dream Stories and Advice

Here at 8WomenDream, we want you to believe that you have the power to achieve your dreams. It is our sincerest wish—through the sharing of dream thoughts—that you are inspired to pursue your big dreams.

Many dreamers begin their life purpose journey during times when the world seems to be kicking them in the gut. Each 8WD guest post contributor typically shares a new dream story once a week for a year; others contribute short series pieces (2-6 articles), and more share a one-time big dream story. We even have guest contributors who write dream encouragement stories for years on 8WomenDream with no end in sight!

We are Always Looking for Dream Stories

Would you like to share a big dream story with the world? Fill out the 8WomenDream Contact Form here if you would like to share one dream story or a dream story series.

Please read the 8WomenDream Guest Post Submission Guidelines outlined here BEFORE contacting 8WD.

About the 8WomenDream Contributors

Catherine Hughes is a writer, founder, content director, and editor of 8WomenDream. Catherine created the 8 Women Dream Project as a place for women to receive online encouragement to go after their big dreams. 

Heather Montgomery shares what she has learned about becoming a triathlete after age 40. She uses her Metabolic Training Certification to help women struggling to get fit in mid-life. Heather lives and trains in Santa Rosa, California, the new home of the Ironman. You can find her biking the So Co wine trails. 

Iman Woods is an American artist who specializes in photography. Through her unique and therapeutic process, which she’s spent over a decade perfecting, Iman helps women undo the damage from a negative self-image and unrealistic beauty industry expectations. She helps women embrace their style of beauty. 

Karen Alaniz is a published author, a former teacher, and a home renovation expert now that she’s remodeled an old farmhouse on her own. She strives to help women who are scared it may be too late to start over after a certain age, and she encourages empty-nest women to invent a new, prosperous, and full life–just like she has done. 

Kelly Swanson is an award-winning storyteller, motivational speaker, published author, and TV personality who is passionate about helping women harness the power of their stories to connect, influence, and get the results they dream of accomplishing. Laughing the whole way, Kelly teaches women how to master the art of connection through the power of strategic storytelling. 

Lisa Graham is an inspirational writer, life coach, motivational speaker, and globe-trotter whose passion is to help others to find happiness and meaning in their daily lives through community involvement. A political activist at heart, Lisa would like to empower more women to run for political office as a way to create positive change in the world. 

Natasha von Geldern is a seasoned travel writer, editor, and blogger who is passionate about making the pages of the atlas real by traveling the world. Apart from travel blogging world domination, her big dream is to launch a series of travel guides for people traveling with children. She is a contributor to Travel Wire Asia, Wild Junket Magazine, and Travelbite, to name a few. 

Sue Levy founded the South African Just Pursue It website and the Inspirational Women Initiative. She’s a motivational writer and media designer who is obsessed with everything inspirational with a hint of geek. She thrives on teaching women how to be brave and take a big chance in their lives to improve their current situation. Not being afraid to travel or move away from her hometown is something Sue is passionate about sharing.
