This week, Amy Grace sits down with Karaleigh Garrison, host of the Be the Dream podcast and multi-passionate creator. Karaleigh opens up about becoming a mom at 20, the shock of receiving multiple autism diagnoses for her children, and the decade she spent almost entirely in caretaker mode for both her kids and her husband.
She shares how music and creativity became her lifeline—first through opera dreams that didn’t work out, then through songwriting, podcasting, and custom music production. Karaleigh reflects on her son’s miraculous journey from being nonverbal until age seven to now talking non-stop, and how that moment reshaped her understanding of possibility.
Together, Amy and Karaleigh explore the power of breaking big dreams into small steps, the resilience it takes to pivot when life throws curveballs, and why moms must honor their own passions alongside raising kids. This episode is equal parts vulnerable storytelling and empowering encouragement for every mom who has ever wondered if her dreams still matter.
Key Takeaways
Dreams can evolve. The vision you had before motherhood may shift—and that’s okay.
Creativity is a lifeline. Making something—whether it’s music, crafts, or writing—reminds moms of their power.
Small steps matter. Break down overwhelming goals into simple, doable actions.
Resilience grows through pivots. Life rarely goes as planned, but passion and purpose can guide the way.
