How Vision Boards Can Transform Your Relationships and Set You Up for Success

In this exciting episode of The Juggle Is Real, mom-and-daughter duo Tanya and Sabrina reveal how vision boards can completely change the way you approach relationships, goals, and intentional living. Inspired by Louis Pasteur’s iconic quote, “Chance favors the prepared mind,” they dive into how visualization and preparation can help you create deeper connections and achieve your dreams.

But this isn’t just another “woo-woo” talk about manifesting. Tanya and Sabrina take a deep dive into the science behind vision boards, including how your Reticular Activating System (RAS) and brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin play a role in making your vision a reality.

This episode kicks off a special four-part series on vision boards, starting with relationships. Whether you’re strengthening bonds with your kids, partner, or friends, Tanya and Sabrina share relatable stories, simple tips, and practical exercises to guide you through setting intentional goals for more meaningful connections.
