WIN a Life Design workshop package with DEFRÉIN

Make 2025 the year of 'you'. Here is your chance to WIN a Life Design workshop package with Caoimhe de Fréin.

Have you ever looked at a vision board and wondered if it actually works? 

The idea of cutting out pictures and arranging them on a board may seem simple, but for many, it’s a powerful tool for manifesting dreams into reality. Vision boards help you gain clarity, focus on what truly matters and set the foundation for meaningful change.

The ability to create change is already within you; all you need is the right mindset and the right tools to bring it to life. Through guided reflection, creativity and bold intention setting, you can shape a life that excites and fulfils you. 

And this is where Irish company DEFRÉIN steps in.

Using the power of vision boards, DEFRÉIN helps people across Ireland to gain clarity, set meaningful goals and take the necessary steps toward transformation.

But how did the business start? 

In 2019, Caoimhe de Fréin was first introduced to vision boards by her manager in her tech job. As a data leader with an engineering background, she was initially sceptical. However, given the opportunity to create her first vision board, she embraced it. That simple A3 collage mapped out her goals and dreams for the year ahead. Seven years later, she continues this annual ritual – each year growing bolder, brighter and more intentional.

Her vision board led to the creation of DEFRÉIN, a sustainable jewellery business that gained recognition in The Irish Times and Irish Country Magazine. Balancing a full-time job and three children, her vision board for the following year focused on boundaries. By 2023, it carried a new raw and daring intention: ‘Unleash your imagination and create your dream job.’

Not only did she decide to leave the security of her tech job but she also parted ways with the jewellery aspect of her company that year also, when its creation became mundane. Instead, she decided to follow her true passion full-time: helping others design lives they love.

For de Fréin, creating the life you truly want begins with three essential steps:

  1. Gain clarity: Identify what truly brings you joy and uncover what matters most to you.
  2. Visualise and create your bold vision: Dream beyond limits and craft a vision that aligns with your aspirations.
  3. Create an action plan: Transform your dreams into tangible steps and actionable goals.

 

With a combination of creativity, mindset shifts and strategic planning, you can take control of your future and start living with purpose.

So, who are these workshops for? 

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of your next move, this process can help you reconnect with your passions, break free from limiting beliefs, and step into the life you truly desire. Whether you’re seeking a career change or personal growth or simply want to bring more joy into your everyday life, this workshop is key to transformation.
