Allowing every moment to be as it is

30min | 03/10/2026

Description

There are these moments in life that felt so beautiful, so magical, so alive, that we want to have them again exactly like that. We want to recreate the feeling, the energy, the version of ourselves that existed in that moment. And yet, every time we chase it, it seems to slip further away from us.

In this episode, I am talking about something I caught myself doing recently: comparing a perfectly fine, good, present moment to one I had already lived before. A past weekend, a past trip, a past version of joy, creativity, or lightness. And how, by doing that, I was not even allowing the present moment to be what it wanted to be. This is an episode about the pressure we put on ourselves to feel a certain way. About how exhausting it can be to chase a feeling from the past. About how comparison does not only happen with others, but also within ourselves. And about how maybe the real beauty lies in letting a moment unfold as it is, instead of asking it to become something it is not. I also share why I think this can happen so easily - the standards we create in our minds, the highlight reels we are surrounded by, the constant urge to make every day feel meaningful, creative, joyful, memorable. But maybe life is also asking us to accept the quieter moments. The softer ones. The ones that do not scream for attention, but still carry something beautiful within them. This is a gentle reminder for both you and me to come back to the present. To stop chasing. To stop forcing. To allow ourselves to just be. Because not every weekend has to be magical in the same way. Not every day has to feel like the best day ever lived. And still, there can be so much beauty in it.

Thank you for being here with me in my little coffee shop corner of the world.

Much love and with a heart full of dreams and my head up in the clouds,
Bettina

About Her Heart full of Dreams

Her Heart Full of Dreams is the space I created for the parts of us that still believe in quiet magic, even when life feels heavy, uncertain, or unresolved. In this cozy storytelling podcast, I weave together dreamy fiction, healing stories, poetic fragments, and gentle narration to invite you into a world where emotions can become landscapes and inner questions are given room to breathe. Some episodes feel like soft, fictional fairytales. Others feel more like sitting across from a friend in a café, speaking honestly about longing, fear, hope, and the courage it takes to keep dreaming when the path ahead is unclear.

I am not here to fix you.

I am not here to tell you who you should become.

I tell stories.

Stories rooted in cozy fantasy fiction and inner worlds. Stories about feeling stuck, about fearing that your dreams might be childish or unrealistic, and about that quiet knowing inside you that there must still be more. These stories move gently and slowly, allowing space for reflection rather than pressure.

This podcast is a blend of storytelling in audio, soft podcast fiction, cozy storytelling, and subtle audio drama elements, created without noise or urgency. You can listen while journaling in a coffee shop, painting, walking through the city, or resting at the end of a long day. It is not a place for productivity or self improvement, but a place simply to be.

I speak openly, imperfectly, and from the heart. English is not my mother tongue, but storytelling is my language. What matters most to me is that you feel less alone here. That you feel seen, understood, and gently encouraged to listen to your inner world again.

Her Heart Full of Dreams is for you if you love cozy fiction, dreamy fiction, fantasy fiction, and healing storytelling podcasts that feel safe rather than loud. It is for you if you are living in a between space, wanting more while trying to stay grateful, carrying creative longing without always knowing where it belongs.

You do not have to change anything.

You do not have to be ready.

You can simply arrive, listen, and rest for a while.

This is a cozy fantasy fiction podcast, a quiet place for dreamers, sensitive hearts, and anyone who still believes that stories can hold us. Softly, honestly, and without haste.

A place, where I share about hopes, dreams and all the struggles we can find in between.

You are so welcomed here,

Bettina
