As your BraveHeart mentor and certified coach, I push you to shed false limits, labels, and lies, so you can find yourself, discover your dreams, boost your confidence, and flourish in midlife and beyond.

I help awaken your heart to believe and to see what is possible!

In today’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I’m diving into a topic that so many of us feel but don’t always talk about: aging. I share why I intentionally use the word “aging” and how we can begin to embrace it with confidence instead of shame.

I walk you through the science behind self-acceptance and how the way we speak to ourselves actually rewires our brains. I also talk about why shame doesn’t lead to lasting change, and how choosing self-respect instead can help you build healthier habits and a stronger mindset.

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and focused on what’s “wrong,” this episode will help you shift that perspective. I want to encourage you to see aging as a privilege, reconnect with your identity, and step into this season of life with purpose, confidence, and power.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with Rhonda Farrah, a lifestyle empowerment alchemist, psychotherapist, author, and speaker, to talk about one of the most compelling midlife reinvention stories you'll ever hear.

Rhonda didn't just face one crisis in midlife; she faced several at once. At 41, she found herself incarcerated for a non-violent crime after entering a business relationship without due diligence. Then came breast cancer. Then two divorces. For nearly 20 years, she says, she felt like she was living in a made-for-TV movie.

But Rhonda's story isn't a story about what happened to her; it's about what she did next. Through radical self-examination, surrender, and a commitment to service, she rebuilt herself from the inside out. She stopped people-pleasing. She learned to fix her reflection first. She traded fear for faith and became the best version of herself, what she calls her "godly self."

Now 67, Rhonda is thriving as a coach running her 12-week group program "Fix Your Reflection First," as a contributing author to multiple books (including a volume featuring Oprah Winfrey and Melinda Gates), and as a sought-after speaker. She's also writing her first solo book, Growing Where You Are Planted.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why is people-pleasing one of the most dangerous habits midlife women carry
  • How Rhonda used her time in prison to rediscover her sense of self
  • The difference between a psychotherapist and a "lifestyle alchemist."
  • How she navigated breast cancer with faith and gratitude and what sign from God gave her peace
  • Why self-care is not selfish, it's your obligation
  • How to hold two truths at once: "I am enough" AND "I have more to become"
  • Her practical challenge: look in the mirror and name three things you love about yourself

Whether you're navigating a midlife identity crisis, recovering from loss, or simply ready to stop surviving and start thriving, this episode will leave you inspired, challenged, and equipped.

Quotations:

"Self-care is not selfish; it's the most selfless thing a woman can do. Who are you going to take care of if you don't take care of yourself?" - Rhonda Farrah

"We hold two things true at the same time: I'm complete, I'm worthy, I'm enough, and because I'm confident in that, I have the courage to grow." - Dawn Damon

"The mess turns into a message. My messages have turned into a message for me, and through the age of technology, I can help others." - Rhonda Farrah

"We don't always tell the truth about the pain we're experiencing because we don't want to rock the boat. And so we just keep absorbing and absorbing, and that’s toxic.” - Dawn Damon

"Change is the nature of life. Human nature, however, is to resist change." - Rhonda Farrah

"You are not alone. Reach out. Find your gift in the blessing." - Rhonda Farrah

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Angela Chester, pastoral counselor, media entrepreneur, three-time best-selling author, and host of Daily Spark Radio and TV. With over two decades of helping purpose-driven women rise with confidence, clarity, and courage, Dr. Chester shares how faith, resilience, and bold decision-making can transform both personal and professional journeys.

Dr. Chester opens up about her philosophy of living in harmony rather than balance, explaining how different seasons of life require different priorities, much like instruments in an orchestra that rise and fall in volume at the right time. She also reveals how her early passion for the arts, combined with her calling to pastoral counseling, shaped a career devoted to helping people discover their true purpose and step into their unique lane.

The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Dr. Chester shares her experience as a breast cancer survivor. Facing a life-changing diagnosis forced her to reevaluate her calling and ultimately led her to expand her impact through media, including radio, television, and PASSIONEER Magazine. What began as a simple prayer, asking God to expand her territory, turned into a global platform inspiring audiences in more than 70 countries.

Throughout the episode, Dr. Chester offers practical wisdom for women navigating uncertainty, career pivots, or personal trials. She emphasizes the importance of listening to God’s voice over self-doubt, reframing fear into faith, and recognizing that even painful seasons can become powerful testimonies that inspire others.

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt stuck between where you are and where you believe you’re meant to be, this episode is a reminder that your story, no matter how messy or uncertain, can become the foundation for your purpose.

Because sometimes the bravest step you can take is trusting that the journey ahead is exactly where you’re meant to go.

In today’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let’s deep dive into one of the most transformative relationship tools for any midlife woman seeking deeper connection, emotional intimacy, and personal growth: the 5 Love Languages.

Whether you're navigating marriage after 40, strengthening family bonds, rediscovering yourself after divorce, or building confidence in midlife relationships, understanding how you give and receive love can be a total game-changer.

Based on the work of Gary Chapman, Dawn unpacks the five primary love languages:

  1. Words of Affirmation
  2. Acts of Service
  3. Receiving Gifts
  4. Quality Time
  5. Physical Touch

But this isn’t just a relationship lesson - it’s a midlife mindset shift.

Discover how unspoken expectations, unmet emotional needs, and even self-neglect can quietly erode connection, especially during seasons of midlife change, empty nest transition, menopause, career reinvention, or spiritual growth. When you learn to identify your primary love language (and those of the people you care about), you stop guessing and start loving with intention.

You’ll discover:

  1. How to identify your love language (and why it matters in midlife transformation)
  2. The subtle ways women over 40 may feel unseen or unheard
  3. How to strengthen emotional intimacy in marriage and family relationships
  4. Why physical touch releases bonding hormones that reduce stress and foster security
  5. How loving yourself well is foundational to empowering midlife relationships

For women navigating midlife reinvention, confidence rebuilding, or redefining success after 50, this episode offers both practical tools and heart-centered wisdom.

Because thriving in midlife isn’t just about career change, wellness routines, or bold vision — it’s also about learning how to feel deeply connected, emotionally safe, and authentically loved.

And as Dawn reminds us, sometimes the bravest transformation begins with understanding your own heart.

✨ Ready to find your brave and live your dreams? Start by learning how you love and how you long to be loved.

Quotations:

“When you learn someone’s love language, you fill their love tank in a way that’s deeply significant to them.”

“It’s not about how you prefer to love, it’s about how they need to receive it.”

“Silence can hurt more than criticism when words of affirmation are someone’s love language.”

“Sometimes it’s hard to love others when we haven’t learned to love ourselves.”

“Design a life you love, don’t leave it to chance.”

“You don’t accidentally show up to a life you love. You build it on purpose.”

“When you understand your heart, you love more bravely.”

In today’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let me speak directly to midlife women who are navigating change, identity shifts, and seasons of self-doubt. I dive into a challenge experienced by nearly 70% of people: imposter syndrome - that persistent feeling that your success isn’t deserved or that you’ll be “found out.”

I explain how our brains resist change and why transitions in midlife can trigger insecurity, perfectionism, and feelings of unworthiness, especially for high-achieving women stepping into new roles or redefining their purpose after 40 or 50.

In this conversation, I share:

  1. Why imposter syndrome often affects successful women
  2. How perfectionism and low self-esteem fuel feelings of inadequacy
  3. The link between midlife transitions, menopause, identity shifts, and confidence
  4. 5 powerful affirmations to reprogram negative self-talk
  5. 7 practical strategies to overcome self-doubt and reclaim self-worth
  6. How to separate feelings from facts and challenge limiting beliefs
  7. Why wisdom, resilience, and confidence deepen in midlife

I encourage you to embrace your evolving identity, honor the life experience you’ve gained, and recognize that your skills, wisdom, and purpose remain powerful in every new season.

Midlife is not a decline; it is a transformation filled with clarity, courage, and renewed purpose.

If you are navigating change, rediscovering your voice, or learning to silence self-doubt, this episode will help you trust your journey and live bravely in midlife.

Today, I’m in this milestone of 200th episodes of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, and I’m reflecting on nearly five years, 200 conversations, and countless lessons I’ve learned while walking alongside brave, bold women navigating midlife. This episode is both a celebration and a heartfelt message to every woman who feels stuck, hesitant, or afraid to step into her next season.

I share what 200 episodes have taught me about midlife transformation, reinvention, and confidence — starting with this truth: playing small always costs more than being brave. Midlife is not the beginning of the end; it’s the beginning of alignment. It’s a season where clarity increases, courage is required, and ignoring your calling becomes more painful than answering it.

In this solo episode, I talk honestly about fear — how it whispers, sounds reasonable, and keeps so many women delaying their dreams. I address the lies that tell us it’s too late, that our best years are behind us, or that someone else is more qualified. I’ve learned that fear, not age or lack of resources, is the real enemy of midlife growth and purpose.

I also share what I’ve witnessed in hundreds of interviews with courageous women: women who have faced abuse, loss, incarceration, health challenges, menopause, career upheaval, and identity shifts — yet still chose bravery. I’ve learned that courage isn’t a personality trait; it’s something we cultivate through small, faithful decisions made one step at a time.

This episode speaks directly to women over 40 and 50 who are longing for clarity, confidence, and purpose. Whether you’re considering a midlife career change, starting over at 50, launching a business, or redefining success and joy in this season, I remind you that there is no perfect time — only the decision to move forward.

As I reflect on 200 episodes, I talk about consistency, obedience, and showing up even when it felt uncomfortable or uncertain. I share why regret is far heavier than the risk of trying, why we don’t outgrow our calling, but we do outgrow our containers, and why endings are often necessary for new beginnings in midlife.

This episode is an invitation to stop waiting, stop shrinking, and stop negotiating with fear. You don’t need to leap — you just need to decide. One brave step can change the entire trajectory of your life.

After 200 episodes, my question to you is the same as it’s always been: Is it time for you to find your brave and live your dreams?

If you’re a midlife woman navigating life after 40 or 50 and feeling unseen, unheard, or unsure of your purpose, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I speak directly to an experience so many women face in midlife but rarely talk about — feeling invisible. I share why this feeling isn’t personal, and it doesn’t mean you’ve lost your value. It’s contextual. Roles shift. Seasons change. And when they do, it can shake our confidence, identity, and sense of purpose.

I talk openly about how much of our worth as women becomes tied to our usefulness—our children needing us, our careers relying on us, our appearance, our productivity. When those mirrors disappear, we often begin to question who we are. That’s when midlife can feel disorienting, lonely, and confusing. But this season isn’t a crisis — it’s a midlife awakening.

Also, I explain why the real pain of invisibility doesn’t come from the world failing to see us, but from the moment we stop seeing ourselves. I unpack how self-confidence quietly turns into self-abandonment, why we start shrinking, silencing our opinions, shelving our dreams, and lowering our expectations — and how to stop doing that.

I also introduce the heart of my coaching work and the 5 Fortitudes of a BraveHearted Woman (BRAVE) — Bold Vision, Real Identity, Able Mindsets, Virtuous Self-Talk, and Excellent Habits. These principles are the foundation for midlife transformation, helping women rediscover confidence, clarity, and purpose without blowing up their lives.

If you’re in a season of midlife reinvention, facing an empty nest, questioning your next chapter, or searching for midlife confidence, I want you to know this: this is not your season to disappear. It’s your season to return — to yourself, to your values, to God’s vision for your life.

Here are the highlights:

  1. Why feeling invisible in midlife is common — and what it’s really revealing
  2. How identity tied to roles and usefulness erodes midlife confidence for women
  3. The mindset shift required to reclaim your voice and presence
  4. Why clarity of purpose creates true visibility — without performing
  5. How boundaries, values, and daily practices protect your energy
  6. Practical steps to begin self-discovery and personal growth in midlife

This episode is especially for women experiencing life after 50, navigating change, menopause, aging, career transitions, or wondering how to thrive in midlife with courage and clarity.

If you’re ready to go deeper, I invite you to explore my BraveHearted Transformation course, where I guide you through small, strategic shifts that lead to lasting confidence and fulfillment in midlife.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, Diagnosed with ADHD at 53 years old — after decades of being told she “couldn’t possibly have it” — Dr. Jennifer Dall knows firsthand the confusion, self-doubt, and exhaustion that come from navigating misinformation, masking symptoms, and living as a high-achieving woman with an undiagnosed neurodivergent brain.

In this deeply validating conversation, Dr. Jennifer explores why ADHD is so often missed in women, especially those in midlife who appear successful on paper but silently struggle with everyday tasks. With over 25 years as an educator and training in ADHD coaching, yoga instruction, and grief education, she brings both professional insight and lived experience to the table.

Together, they unpack the myth that ADHD and high achievement can’t coexist, revealing how women learn to mask symptoms, overcompensate, and carry unnecessary shame. She explains why ADHD doesn’t care about your degrees, your resume, or how capable you look—and how understanding your brain can finally free you from self-blame.

This episode dives into the unique challenges of ADHD in midlife, including time blindness, chronic overwhelm, fatigue, and identity shifts after diagnosis. She also shares practical, non–one-size-fits-all strategies that help women simplify daily life, work with their brains, and make meaningful progress without perfection or pressure.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why can’t I just do the simple stuff?” or wondered if ADHD might be part of your story, this conversation offers clarity, compassion, and hope. It’s a reminder that it’s never too late to understand yourself, reclaim your confidence, and step forward with courage and purpose — your soul fully awake.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Melony Brown — author, speaker, podcast host, and survivor — to talk about overcoming adversity through faith, mindset, and unwavering trust in God.

Melony shares her extraordinary story of suffering a stroke at age two, living for decades with unexplained neurological symptoms, and finally receiving a diagnosis of Moyamoya disease at age 45. After years of debilitating migraines, multiple mini-strokes, and invisible struggles, Melony underwent brain surgery and discovered that a portion of her brain had lacked oxygen her entire life — yet God sustained her every step of the way.

We explore the power of mindset, the importance of having a “fight verse,” and why fixing your eyes on God changes everything when fear and uncertainty threaten to overwhelm you. Melony explains how Scripture must become a reflex — not a reference — and how praise, worship, and spiritual discipline help women stand firm in the middle of trials.

This episode is filled with encouragement for Christian women facing health challenges, emotional exhaustion, or seasons where giving up feels tempting. You’ll walk away reminded that while God doesn’t promise a life without trouble, He does promise His presence, strength, and faithfulness through it all.

If you’re ready to stop shrinking back, strengthen your faith, and learn how to keep moving forward — this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Robin Kencel, a purpose-driven entrepreneur, elite ballroom dancer, luxury real estate broker, and reigning Miss Connecticut Senior America. Ranked in the top 1.5% of real estate agents in the U.S., Robin shares her remarkable journey of reinvention, faith, and fearless growth—proving that midlife is not a season of slowing down, but a time of expansion and renewed purpose

Robin reflects on growing up in a family-run nursing home and how early exposure to aging, service, and compassion shaped her philosophy of life. From earning degrees at Georgetown University and Kellogg School of Management to leading Fortune 100 teams, launching her own consulting firm, and ultimately pivoting into real estate, Robin emphasizes the courage it takes to evolve—and the importance of not fearing failure. She explains how being “gutsy,” planning wisely, and staying anchored in faith have guided every season of her life

The conversation dives deep into Robin’s “Aging With Purpose” platform, including her five pillars of aging well: physical health, emotional and mental well-being, relationships, spirituality and meaning, and the often-overlooked power of quality sleep. Robin also shares how a broken foot just weeks before a major pageant became the catalyst for discovering improvisational acting — reinforcing her belief that growth begins when we step outside our comfort zones.

Let’s explore self-worth, resilience, feedback, and why women are never “too old” to learn new skills, pursue dreams, or redefine what’s possible in midlife and beyond.

In this week’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I’m inviting you into a heartfelt conversation about something so many midlife women feel this time of year—holiday overwhelm. As someone who still hosts Christmas for my family, I know firsthand how easily the joy of the season can turn into pressure, perfectionism, and exhaustion. That’s why I’m sharing seven practical, soul-settling ways to destress your Christmas so you can enjoy the holiday without losing your peace, your joy, or your mind.

I talk about how we often hold on to outdated traditions that drain us, and I encourage you to give yourself permission to release what no longer fits your life or season. Together, we unpack the myth of the “perfect Christmas” and explore how choosing presence over pressure creates the kind of memories that truly matter. I also share how I protect my own peace—ruthlessly!—and how simplifying your menu, gifts, and expectations can make the entire holiday feel lighter.

We dive into navigating family dynamics with maturity, choosing joy as a daily mindset, and creating new traditions that reflect the woman you’ve become today. I share personal stories, coaching insights, and spiritual encouragement to help you breathe deeper, set healthier boundaries, and experience Christmas with intention—not obligation.

I close the episode by reminding you that you deserve a Christmas that blesses you, not burns you out. And if you’re ready to step into the new year with clarity and confidence, I offer you my free Find Your Word of the Year ebook that has guided and anchored me year after year.

This episode is your invitation to create a holiday season filled with grace, peace, joy, and meaning—one that feels good to your soul.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Kelly Jansens Mensch, an entrepreneur, event organizer, and author of Outside God’s Umbrella: Journey from Darkness to Divine Light. 

Kelly opens up about her shocking real-life story — how a single social media connection spiraled into tragedy, leading her through incarceration, guilt, and ultimately, redemption.

Through raw honesty and deep faith, Kelly shares how God met her in the darkest valley and rebuilt her life from the inside out. She reveals the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit, recognizing red flags, and learning to live “under God’s umbrella” of grace and protection. 

Her story reminds every midlife woman that no matter how far she’s fallen, faith, courage, and identity in Christ can restore peace, purpose, and freedom.

This episode will inspire you to trust God through your hardest seasons, reclaim your confidence, and live brave again.

]]>“God works everything out for our good, even when we think our life is over.”

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Kelly Jansens Mensch, an entrepreneur, event organizer, and author of Outside God’s Umbrella: Journey from Darkness to Divine Light. 

Kelly opens up about her shocking real-life story — how a single social media connection spiraled into tragedy, leading her through incarceration, guilt, and ultimately, redemption.

Through raw honesty and deep faith, Kelly shares how God met her in the darkest valley and rebuilt her life from the inside out. She reveals the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit, recognizing red flags, and learning to live “under God’s umbrella” of grace and protection. 

Her story reminds every midlife woman that no matter how far she’s fallen, faith, courage, and identity in Christ can restore peace, purpose, and freedom.

This episode will inspire you to trust God through your hardest seasons, reclaim your confidence, and live brave again.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Sherry Hoppen, author, speaker, and founder of She Surrenders and Selah House Recovery. Sherry shares her remarkable journey from secret addiction to lasting recovery — and how total surrender to God became the turning point that changed everything.

Once living a double life as a woman of faith hiding her alcohol addiction, Sherry opens up about the moment she fell to her knees and prayed, “God, I’ll do it your way.” Her story reveals the pain of hiding, the power of surrender, and the miracle of restoration — especially in her marriage and faith.

Sherry also talks about her award-winning book, “Sober Cycle: Pedaling Through Recovery One Day at a Time,” and how a grueling cross-country bike ride became a symbol of hope and transformation. Today, she leads other women to freedom through She Surrenders Ministries and the newly established Selah House Recovery — a faith-based inpatient center for women in Michigan.

This conversation is raw, redemptive, and deeply inspiring — a must-listen for midlife women seeking freedom, faith renewal, and brave transformation.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Deborah Weed, a creative visionary and founder of The Self-Worth Initiative. Together, they dive into a transformative story of resilience, self-discovery, and rediscovering purpose in midlife.

After years as a high-powered branding executive, Deborah’s life took a drastic turn when a medical misdiagnosis left her bedridden for three years. But what could have been her breaking point became her breakthrough. Through faith, creativity, and courage, Deborah found her way back — not just to health, but to her authentic self-worth.

Deborah shares how understanding the difference between self-esteem and self-worth changed everything, and how she now helps midlife women reclaim their power through storytelling, creativity, and heart-centered living. From her award-winning book If Only to her upcoming musical Paisley’s Fashion Forest, Deborah reminds us that it’s never too late to rise, reinvent, and live with purpose.

If you’ve ever felt out of alignment, lost your voice, or wondered whether your best years are behind you — this inspiring conversation will reignite your confidence and remind you that your second act can be your best act.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Karen Sjoblom, an award-winning author and editor, to explore the beauty and purpose hidden within life’s hardest transitions. Karen — author of Gone For Good: Lessons from a Midlife Exodus — shares her powerful story of faith, grief, and renewal as she navigates the “desert seasons” of midlife.

Together, discover how seasons of loss, change, and letting go can become sacred spaces for spiritual growth and personal transformation. Karen opens up about her healing journey from childhood trauma, faith struggles, and identity shifts, revealing how God’s redemptive love turns pain into purpose.

Through honest conversation and wisdom rooted in faith, this episode invites women in midlife to reflect on their own “exodus” moments — those times of transition that lead to greater wholeness, deeper confidence, and renewed vision for the future.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or uncertain about what’s next, this episode will remind you that your desert won’t last forever. With courage, faith, and grace, you can walk into the next chapter of your life — stronger, freer, and full of hope.

✨ Key Takeaways:

  • How to navigate the “desert seasons” of midlife with faith and grace
  • The healing power of grief, forgiveness, and self-reflection
  • Discovering your spiritual gifts and God’s purpose in your pain
  • How story work and personal redemption can transform your outlook and mission

]]>“Every woman’s story holds scars, mercy, and mission — our past pain becomes part of our purpose.”

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Karen Sjoblom, an award-winning author and editor, to explore the beauty and purpose hidden within life’s hardest transitions. Karen — author of Gone For Good: Lessons from a Midlife Exodus — shares her powerful story of faith, grief, and renewal as she navigates the “desert seasons” of midlife.

Together, discover how seasons of loss, change, and letting go can become sacred spaces for spiritual growth and personal transformation. Karen opens up about her healing journey from childhood trauma, faith struggles, and identity shifts, revealing how God’s redemptive love turns pain into purpose.

Through honest conversation and wisdom rooted in faith, this episode invites women in midlife to reflect on their own “exodus” moments — those times of transition that lead to greater wholeness, deeper confidence, and renewed vision for the future.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or uncertain about what’s next, this episode will remind you that your desert won’t last forever. With courage, faith, and grace, you can walk into the next chapter of your life — stronger, freer, and full of hope.

Sometimes it’s financial abuse, manipulation, or control — and that’s just as damaging.”

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Melissa Franks—a seasoned business strategist, podcast host, and former Fortune 500 COO—to share her courageous journey of living a double life as a high-level executive and a survivor of domestic violence.

Melissa opens up about navigating the hidden abuse behind her successful professional image, the unraveling of her marriage in 2023, and the painful yet empowering process of starting over as a single mom in midlife. She reveals how she went from financial devastation and family court battles to building a seven-figure business that empowers women entrepreneurs.

This episode is a must-listen for midlife women facing reinvention, those impacted by domestic abuse, and every woman who’s ready to find her voice, reclaim her identity, and step into a brave new season. Melissa’s story proves that no matter how successful you look on the outside, it’s never too late to break free, rebuild, and thrive.

“I had to redefine success—not as a perfect marriage or community status, but as safety, freedom, and thriving in midlife.” - Melissa Franks

“So many midlife women are holding it all together on the outside, while silently surviving abuse on the inside.” - Dawn Damon

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I am with Julie Barth — widow, trauma survivor, mother of six, and author of Notes from a BlackBerry. Julie has faced immense challenges that could have crushed her: caring for a special-needs child, losing her husband to cancer, and surviving the trauma of an emotionally and financially abusive second marriage.

Instead, Julie chose resilience. Today, she’s the CEO and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit dedicated to helping women-led households find resources, security, and stability in times of crisis.

In this moving conversation, Julie shares how to:

  • Recognize subtle red flags of emotional and financial abuse
  • Protect yourself without guilt or shame
  • Live resiliently when life continuously throws curveballs
  • Find peace after loss and hardship
  • Turn personal pain into advocacy and purpose

Her story is raw, inspiring, and full of hope—reminding women everywhere that even in the darkest moments, you can rise strong and create a future filled with peace and purpose.

Quotations:

“You’re not guaranteed two minutes from now, much less a year from now. Life is meant to be lived.”

“Peace is more important than happiness — because without peace, you can’t even find happiness.”

“Don’t ignore your instincts. Don’t excuse red flags. If you’re constantly living in confusion, there’s a reason.”

“You only have one life to live. Whether you’re the hero or the villain doesn’t matter—if you’re not happy, you need to get out.”

“When you feel powerful, you come to the table with a different perspective than when you feel helpless.”

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I sit down with author and speaker Jody Allen to discuss her new book Hidden Heartache: Finding Courage When Your Husband Struggles with Pornography. Jody vulnerably shares her journey of betrayal, healing, and ultimately discovering hope beyond heartbreak.

Together, Dawn and Jody uncover the reality of pornography addiction in marriages, the shame it creates for both husbands and wives, and the spiritual and emotional toll it can take on a woman’s identity, confidence, and self-worth. Jody offers practical tools such as using the Feelings Wheel, praying Scripture, setting healthy boundaries, and finding strength in worship to move from pain to healing.

This conversation is a reminder that divorce is not a death sentence and that even when life doesn’t turn out as you prayed, God’s love and freedom remain available. Whether you’re navigating betrayal trauma, longing for healing, or simply seeking encouragement in midlife, this episode will inspire you to walk in courage, release shame, and embrace a brave, empowered life.



Quotations:

“Divorce is not a death sentence. God loves divorced women, too.” - Jody Allen

“When we walk out of pain with Jesus, we can take treasures with us — new perspectives, friendships, or even a fresh start.” - Jody Allen

“If we hide and stay in the darkness, we remain bound. But when we step into the light, freedom begins.” - Dawn Damon

“Sometimes the advice women need isn’t just to pray more or be patient. Sometimes it’s to draw a boundary and protect your peace.” - Dawn Damon

“God doesn’t author trauma, but He will use what we walk through to refine us and make us better.” - Dawn Damon

Michelle opens up about the powerful story behind her reinvention. Thirteen years ago, she faced an unexpected and painful career upheaval that left her questioning her worth and future. But instead of giving in to despair, she took bold, brave steps, allowing God to reshape her path. Today, she’s leading with purpose, helping others rise through heart-centered leadership and the science of transformation.

We talk about the neuroplasticity of the brain, emotional resilience, and why balancing empathy with excellence is the key to powerful leadership — whether you’re running a company, managing a team, or leading your family. Michelle also shares insights from her newest book, a concise 48-page guide packed with practical tools for leaders who want to create connection, loyalty, and impact.

If you’re in a season of reinvention or feel like your best days are behind you, this episode will remind you: God’s not done with you yet. Your next chapter may be your most significant one.

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I share my personal battle with anxiety during my 30s and early 40s, sharing how trauma, stress, and life transitions contributed to overwhelming panic attacks. 

Also, let me share the science behind anxiety, its physical and emotional symptoms, and why midlife women often experience a resurgence during perimenopause or postmenopause.

]]>"Anxiety is not permanent. It has come to pass, not to stay.”

In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I share my personal battle with anxiety during my 30s and early 40s, sharing how trauma, stress, and life transitions contributed to overwhelming panic attacks. 

Also, let me share the science behind anxiety, its physical and emotional symptoms, and why midlife women often experience a resurgence during perimenopause or postmenopause. So, you'll learn how anxiety functions as an internal alarm system—and how, at times, it misfires, sending false warnings that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or frozen. I’ll guide you through practical, proven techniques to help you manage anxiety.

Whether you're facing daily stress or experiencing full-blown panic attacks, this episode is filled with encouragement, understanding, and tools to help you feel grounded, confident, and back in control of your life. Remember, you're not broken — anxiety can be a messenger inviting you to heal, reclaim peace, and live bravely.

Sensitive questions from midlife womenIn this week’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, I’ll be answering some common questions about being a midlife woman. We’ll be diving into the big three topics: sex drive, urinary incontinence, and menopause — these issues many women face but don’t talk about enough.

Today, I’ll share valuable insights on each of these topics, offering guidance and support.

If you’ve been struggling with any of these challenges, or simply want to understand how they impact midlife, know that you’re not alone. Tune in as we explore these subjects, debunk myths, and provide you with the tools to feel empowered, vibrant, and in control during this transformative stage of life.

Quotations:

"Don’t be held back by menopause.”

"Sex is not just about the act, it's about an attitude. Sexy is confidence."

"The most beautiful season of your life is still ahead of you, even when you hit menopause."

"Midlife changes are common, but they’re not a sentence. You don’t have to fear or accept them as final. This season can be beautiful, empowering, and full of wisdom."

"Aging doesn’t mean giving up on your health or desires. Normalize what’s happening, find what works for you, and don’t shy away from seeking support."

"Sexuality in midlife isn’t about giving up. It’s about discovering a new normal and keeping intimacy alive in ways that work for you and your relationship."

"Take initiative for your waning sexuality—this aspect is important not just for your partner, but for you too. God created intimacy to be beautiful, unique, and private to marriage."

"Menopause doesn’t mean the end; it’s a new chapter. The wisdom, authenticity, and strength you gain make this one of the most incredible seasons of your life."

"Remember, it’s not about what you’re losing but what you’re gaining: peace in who you are, confidence in your choices, and the joy of truly living."

"True forgiveness is not about erasing memories but releasing the emotional weight they carry."

"Forgiveness is not a memory relapse. You don't just forget what happened, but it is a memory release."

"Unforgiveness manifests in a lot of ways. If you're feeling some bursts of anger, or you become petty and critical, you're stuck in unforgiveness."

"Forgiveness is a choice. You can make it."

Kamini shares her journey, growing up in a predominantly white town in Connecticut as a member of an Indian family, which shaped her into a people-pleaser and perfectionist. Her upbringing further reinforced these tendencies as a caretaker and high achiever. Kamini explains how she recognized these patterns in her children and underwent a self-transformation to address them. 

Professionally, she realized her passion for helping others grow and evolve, leading her to become a life coach specializing in areas like overcoming perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and self-sabotage. Kamini emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, understanding underlying narratives behind behaviors, and taking values-based actions.

Kamini also discusses the significance of embracing her Indian heritage and how it enriched her identity, which she aims to pass on to her children. Tune to this week’s episode and discover how Kamini encourages women to ask themselves what they truly need and take steps towards living authentically!

"If we look at just the human race, yes, we're all human beings, but we all have a unique quality. There’s one message that I’d love for people to hear it’s, Hey, your uniqueness is actually the gift that this world needs." - Kamini Wood

"I think the one thing that I would say is that with self-sabotage, people will constantly say, I want to stop self-sabotaging if we want to stop something instead of just, we would have stopped it already if we could, right? So the idea, it's a shift. Okay. I'm noticing the self-sabotage isn't serving me. So if I got curious about the self-sabotage, what's behind it, right?" - Kamini Wood

Quotations:

"You have to advocate for yourself. You have to open up and share your voice and don't be afraid to keep pressing the issue." - Dawn Damon

"Advocating for your own self-care is so critically important because when you're burning the candle at both ends, not taking care of yourself, you end up severely dehydrated or with chronic issues." - Ashly Balza

"Disease comes from chronic inflammation. So if you're not getting to the root cause of that inflammation, you're inviting illness." - Ashly Balza

"Your value and your worth are not found in your husband or anyone else; they come from God, the one who created you." - Ashly Balza

"Self-care doesn’t have to be an extravagant, expensive thing. It can be simple, like starting with your skincare routine." - Ashly Balza

"The only way you will fail is if you quit. Keep pushing forward." - Ashly Balza

"If you feel called to do something, no more excuses. Just do it, because you never know where it will take you." - Ashly Balza

"For me, it was more so how to begin to love me and begin to find who I was. I'm not just a mom. I'm not just a wife. I'm not just a business owner. Like I am a daughter of the most high King." - Ashly Balza

"The only way you will fail is if you quit. So keep pushing forward. If it's something that is truly on your heart and you feel like it's something that God has for your purpose... no more excuses, just do it because you can come up with excuses all day, every day, and you can live miserably because you have those regrets." - Ashly Balza

"Don't let 'what if' turn into 'if only.' If only I would have taken that risk." - Dawn Damon

"You have to advocate for yourself. You have to open up and share your voice and don't be afraid to keep pressing the issue." - Dawn Damon

"Advocating for your own self-care is so critically important because when you're burning the candle at both ends, not taking care of yourself, you end up severely dehydrated or with chronic issues." - Ashly Balza

"Disease comes from chronic inflammation. So if you're not getting to the root cause of that inflammation, you're inviting illness." - Ashly Balza

"Your value and your worth are not found in your husband or anyone else; they come from God, the one who created you." - Ashly Balza

"Self-care doesn’t have to be an extravagant, expensive thing. It can be simple, like starting with your skincare routine." - Ashly Balza

"The only way you will fail is if you quit. Keep pushing forward." - Ashly Balza

"If you feel called to do something, no more excuses. Just do it, because you never know where it will take you." - Ashly Balza

"For me, it was more so how to begin to love me and begin to find who I was. I'm not just a mom. I'm not just a wife. I'm not just a business owner. Like I am a daughter of the most high King." - Ashly Balza

"The only way you will fail is if you quit. So keep pushing forward. If it's something that is truly on your heart and you feel like it's something that God has for your purpose... no more excuses, just do it because you can come up with excuses all day, every day, and you can live miserably because you have those regrets." - Ashly Balza

"Don't let 'what if' turn into 'if only.' If only I would have taken that risk." - Dawn Damon

"I think sometimes as women that's kind of what we do is lean into our own strength and our own power and our own ability to stir up joy all around us. But it's not really joy we're stirring up. It's a moment of happiness, but there's a big difference." - LaTan Murphy

"It's then that we really need to draw from our faith in Christ and be able to experience something that is so far bigger and so outside the realm of what we could ever model in our own human strength."  - LaTan Murphy

"Some of us get overwhelmed by the small things of life, let alone the big things." - Dawn Damon:

"Dear sister listening, if you've not made that exchange yet, I encourage you to do that, that you lay down your efforts, your striving, your strength. That doesn't mean that we're not courageous, brave women taking steps of action. What it does mean is that we're not doing it by ourselves." - Dawn Damon

"There are a few women out there who will not be your cheerleaders. They'll think they'll misperceive your heart and what you're doing. And they'll make it their ambition to let you know that." - LaTan Murphy

"When you keep your eyes on God and you listen for his voice and how to do it, when to do it, and where to do it, everything changes." - LaTan Murphy

"Regret is a very powerful and negative emotion, plaguing us with whispers of what we could have done differently, haunting us with 'if only's'."

"Allow yourself to fully experience the emotion of regret. When you start to feel, you can start to heal."

"Regret can induce pain, but it can also be a chance for growth. It's not about changing the past, but learning from it to shape a richer, wiser future."

"Regrets often stem from not honoring our authentic selves and succumbing to societal or relational pressures."

"Release regrets and embrace a new beginning. Choose to live each day refreshed, refueled, and refocused, with courage for a fresh start."

"Living bold and brave means confronting the powerful and negative emotion of regret head-on, understanding its impact on our lives, and finding ways to overcome it."

"Remember, it's never too late to make changes and live authentically, embracing courage and confidence to pursue our true desires and aspirations."

"Good enough is seldom good enough, you know, we say those things, but perfectionism can really be crippling and cause a lot of paralysis in getting us to move forward." - Dawn Damon

"Perfectionism is the smokescreen for so many other potential issues in our lives." - Dawn Damon

"When God gives us a word, that peace just envelops us and we just rest in that." - Dawn Damon

In this week’s episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast, let me help you build confidence by believing in yourself and facing your fears.

Confidence is the cornerstone of personal empowerment and success. It's the belief in oneself, abilities, and judgment. Confidence allows individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience, take risks, and pursue their goals with determination.

True confidence isn't about being free from self-doubt or insecurities, but rather it's about acknowledging those doubts and fears while still taking action. It's about having the courage to step outside of one's comfort zone, even when faced with uncertainty.

Today, let me 2 powerful steps on how you can break through and transform your life to success!

Quotations:

"You don't have to believe in yourself to start building confidence. Believing in yourself needs to come, but it'll come later."

"Actions come first and confidence comes later."

"Stop playing small. We all have to be reminded of that."

"One way that you will build confidence and self-esteem is when you show up for yourself and do exactly what you said you wanted to do."

"Stop worrying about believing in yourself. Belief in yourself will come. Ultimately, believe in God. Believe that you are exactly who he says you are because God's got greatness in store for you."

Quotations:

"God has a plan for you, but maybe it's not what you think and your plan and your timing." - Dr. Nancy Meyer

“A lot of people think that courage is the absence of fear, but it's despite that with my book. So it's a bunch of women's multiple women's stories, true stories compiled together to help people defy fear in their own lives by embracing their true values."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

"Life is a journey. It is like you talk about courage or brave. It's finding your brave. Where is that? And where it comes from is through Christ, ultimately, is where you discover that."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

"Sometimes we think that people have it all together. We think we're the only ones that struggle. And just to hear you say that is really important because you were filling yourself with all of the right things, the education, the surroundings, all the things. And yet you still had that void." - Dawn Damon

"It does take courage to embrace your value, just to be crazy enough to believe that when God says you're remarkable, you're amazing, you're valuable, you're beautiful, takes courage to believe that." - Dawn Damon

"We're not always prepared to be fully loved like God loves us and, and to say, okay, you know what? I am going to love myself. I am going to value myself." - Dawn Damon

"If we don't value ourselves our strengths our weaknesses are our strengths, and our strengths that we that, we're not going to ever do the next thing, the next level, not what God wants us to do. We'll settle."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

Quotations:

"God has a plan for you, but maybe it's not what you think and your plan and your timing." - Dr. Nancy Meyer

“A lot of people think that courage is the absence of fear, but it's despite that with my book. So it's a bunch of women's multiple women's stories, true stories compiled together to help people defy fear in their own lives by embracing their true values."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

"Life is a journey. It is like you talk about courage or brave. It's finding your brave. Where is that? And where it comes from is through Christ, ultimately, is where you discover that."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

"Sometimes we think that people have it all together. We think we're the only ones that struggle. And just to hear you say that is really important because you were filling yourself with all of the right things, the education, the surroundings, all the things. And yet you still had that void." - Dawn Damon

"It does take courage to embrace your value, just to be crazy enough to believe that when God says you're remarkable, you're amazing, you're valuable, you're beautiful, takes courage to believe that." - Dawn Damon

"We're not always prepared to be fully loved like God loves us and, and to say, okay, you know what? I am going to love myself. I am going to value myself." - Dawn Damon

"If we don't value ourselves our strengths our weaknesses are our strengths, and our strengths that we that, we're not going to ever do the next thing, the next level, not what God wants us to do. We'll settle."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

"We should be the happiest people out there. I mean, when you see, like, see someone that's a Christian, you should be able to look at them and see them. That they're like something about them is different."  - Dr. Nancy Meyer

Fortitude is formed from bravery, virtue, and consistent grit to relentlessly execute with discipline the keystone habits of a successful woman.


Let me give these principles to the 5 Fortitudes outlined in my book, conveniently spelled out as B.R.A.V.E:

1. Bold Vision: Claiming Your Future

Having a bold vision is the first step to fortitude. It involves prophesying into your future, awakening your imagination, and claiming the vision that God has for you. Speak it, depict it, and focus on it daily.

2. Real Identity: Shaping Your Beliefs

Your identity shapes everything in your life. It's crucial to believe in your worth and potential. Break down the limiting beliefs, embrace a real identity, and rise above the assessments you place on yourself.

3. Able Mindset: Choosing Empowering Thoughts

Cultivate a mindset that says, "I can do it." Your mindset plays a pivotal role in determining your success. Choose thoughts that reinforce your abilities, fostering a mindset of victory and abundance.

4. Virtuous Talk: Speaking Your Desired Reality

Your words have creative power. Use virtuous talk to speak positivity into your life. Prophesy your future with words that align with God's plan for you. Replace negativity with declarations of your strength, worth, and purpose.

5. Excellent Actions: Committing to Growth

Commit to excellent actions and habits. Embrace the mindset that says, "I do hard things." Don't shy away from challenges; instead, see them as opportunities for growth and transformation.

In conclusion, fortitude is the amalgamation of strength, grit, virtue, discipline, and a can-do spirit. As you embark on your journey of self-discovery and empowerment, remember the five fortitudes—B.R.A.V.E. Claim your bold vision, shape your real identity, choose an able mindset, speak virtuously, and commit to excellent actions. You are a BraveHearted woman, and it's time to live your vision!

In this week's episode, let’s delve into the profound theme of living a life of significance and the timeless concept of mattering. 

The universal human need to be known and to know others emphasizes the importance of being valued and adding value to others. Drawing on my personal experiences, Biblical references, and societal issues like cancel culture, I know the impact of feeling invisible or not mattering to others. 

Today, let me address questions of self-worth, significance, and the essential components of mattering. It’s time for you to reflect on their own sense of significance and connection, and to consider the impact of adding value to those around them. And always remember that you matter!

]]>You do you!

In this week's episode, let’s delve into the profound theme of living a life of significance and the timeless concept of mattering. 

The universal human need to be known and to know others emphasizes the importance of being valued and adding value to others. Drawing on my personal experiences, Biblical references, and societal issues like cancel culture, I know the impact of feeling invisible or not mattering to others. 

Today, let me address questions of self-worth, significance, and the essential components of mattering. It’s time for you to reflect on their own sense of significance and connection, and to consider the impact of adding value to those around them. And always remember that you matter!

Don't worry; you're not alone!

In this week’s episode, let me discuss existential crisis and how it relates to midlife. 

An existential crisis is a deep introspective and often unsetting experience that can strike anyone, regardless of age, background, or belief system. It’s that moment when you find yourself grappling with profound questions about the meaning and purpose of your life, your existence, and your place in the world. While existential crises are often associated with philosophers and writers, they are not confined to the realm of academia. In fact, many people encounter these moments of profound self-examination at various stages in their lives. This introspective journey can be both challenging and enlightening, leading individuals to confront their core beliefs, values, and the very essence of who they are. In this exploration, we will delve into the concept of an existential crisis, its common triggers, and strategies to navigate this profound and transformative experience.

So if you want to understand more about existential crisis and see if you’re experiencing it, head over to this episode and listen!

We long to hear that magical word, “Yes!” But today, we’re going to challenge the norm and shine a light on the power of “No” - a word that holds valuable lessons and untapped potential.

Together, we’ll venture into the thought-provoking realm of self-perception and how it shapes our view of ourselves and our capabilities.

This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.

Life often takes us on an unpredictable journey, with its share of highs and lows. There are moments when challenges seem insurmountable, dreams appear distant, and the weight of it tempts us to give up. However, in these difficult times, discovering our inner strength becomes crucial.

Join me as I share different stories of how reaching one’s goal and dream can be hard. While quitting may seem like the easy way out, let me emphasize the significance of finishing well. Discerning the season and seeking wisdom and counsel before making any decisions and understanding the value of self-care is essential when we feel exhausted or on the brink of giving up. Most of the time, all we need is a break to rest.

So, tune in as I discuss the common reasons people contemplate quitting and provide practical advice when you’re on the verge of surrender. Remember, regardless of what life throws your way, stay focused on the desired outcome you strive to achieve. Head over to this week’s episode to gain valuable insights on perseverance and the art of not giving up.

Life often takes us on an unpredictable journey, with its share of highs and lows. There are moments when challenges seem insurmountable, dreams appear distant, and the weight of it tempts us to give up. However, in these difficult times, discovering our inner strength becomes crucial.

Join me as I share different stories of how reaching one’s goal and dream can be hard. While quitting may seem like the easy way out, let me emphasize the significance of finishing well. Discerning the season and seeking wisdom and counsel before making any decisions and understanding the value of self-care is essential when we feel exhausted or on the brink of giving up. Most of the time, all we need is a break to rest.

So, tune in as I discuss the common reasons people contemplate quitting and provide practical advice when you’re on the verge of surrender. Remember, regardless of what life throws your way, stay focused on the desired outcome you strive to achieve. Head over to this week’s episode to gain valuable insights on perseverance and the art of not giving up.

This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.

What if I tell you that pain is a great motivator? Would you agree with me? If not, that’s okay because that’s the topic that I want to dive into. Let me explore the idea of how pain can be leveraged for personal growth and transformation. 

First and foremost, it’s crucial to recognize the importance of making good choices and using pain as a powerful motivator. Pain acts as a signal to our brain, alerting us when we step out of our comfort zones and sense potential danger. It’s natural for pain to resist change.

Sometimes, the pain gets mistaken for suffering, and let’s delve deeper into this concept to help you accept situations that are beyond your control. Also, let’s discuss the implications of being stuck in a comfort zone and the negative consequences it can have, such as unfulfilled potential and regret.

So, I encourage you to let go of excuses and instead cultivate discipline and motivation. Embrace discomfort as a sign of progress on your journey. Feel free to tag your friends who may benefit from this week’s podcast as well.

Tune in for another inspiring and thought-provoking episode, and continue your path toward finding bravery and living out your vision.

Quotations:

“Pain is an amazing motivator… There's just something about pain that stimulates the brain that gets us to change.”

“So I endure the pain for a season knowing that there's a reward out there that I want more than I want this temporary good feeling.” 

“...discomfort does not mean unsafe. Being uncomfortable does not mean that you've made a wrong decision.”

“Uncomfortable steps of action challenge you. They awaken your brain and you can be excited when you feel that because you know that you're growing.”

“Push yourself to do hard things, befriend pain and discomfort.”

“What comes easily to you is rationalization. What comes easy is the excuse-making.”

“Remember, it doesn't mean you're unsafe. It might mean that you're on the edge of something brilliant and beautiful breakthrough.”

This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.

In this timely episode, let me delve into the power of self-talk and its influence on our lives. Through the experience of a Japanese scientist, Dr. Masary Emoto, we’ll see how positive and negative words can impact our daily lives.

But first, what self-talk is?

Self-talk is the inner dialogue or the way we talk with ourselves in our minds. It includes the thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes we hold about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Self-talk can either be positive or negative, and it can have a significant impact on our emotions, behaviors, and overall well-being.

So as I urge you, listeners, to be mindful of our self-talk to emphasize the power of positive words and affirmations in renewing and growing our souls, in addition to taking control of the spirit. Also, that positive mindset improves our self-esteem.

If you want to know what my 5 tips for empowering women to change their self-talk are, tune in to this week’s episode and start speaking life today! 

And remember, being aware of our self-talk and learning to replace negative thoughts with positive ones can help us improve our mental health and achieve our goals.

Quotations:

“God created us to be spiritual people, He put us in a body. So we're having a human experience in this body. But he also gave us a soul ~ a soul that needs to minister to a soul that needs to grow, stretch, and be renewed your soul is your mind and your will and your emotions.”

“Words matter ~ they produce life, or they produce death.”

“Your brain is eavesdropping on what's coming out of your mouth, and then it acts accordingly. You're literally giving orders to your brain.”

“Your life is meant to be a masterpiece. But maybe your self-talk script is average. It's not an alignment with a masterpiece. Don't let that happen to you who don't have an average storyline. Your life is meant to be a page-turner. Yes! So start speaking life.”

“... the two phrases, growth mindset, and fixed mindset. A growth mindset understands that it's elastic, it's plastic, it can stretch, it can grow, it can change it can learn. A fixed mindset has the belief that everything that I know up until this point is fixed.”

“Don't just have a great day. Make it a great day yet it's within your power to do so.”

Let me ask you a question, do you struggle in believing in yourself? I resonate with this as I experience doubting myself, my abilities, and if I’m doing the right thing. It’s our nature, but it’s not ideal to drown ourselves in this negative habit of self-doubting.

So, What is self-doubt? ~ Self-doubt is the opposite of confidence. Self-doubt is a decision not to try. Self-doubt is also a habit of thinking that can be broken. As your brain’s goal is to keep you alive, so it’s hesitant to respond to situations that feel like a threat. This results in not taking action and getting stuck.

Get ready to break free from self-doubt and start believing in yourself again as I give you some tips for overcoming self-doubt and a list of traps that you can stop doing. Head over to this week’s episode to learn more!

“Your brain’s number one goal at all times is to keep you alive.”

“The best way that your brain protects you from uncertainty is to get you stuck in your head in thinking and overthinking.”

“You can break the cycle of self-doubt by believing in yourself. You’re going to do that by speaking what you know is true, your identity, who you are, you’re able to do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”

This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.

Let me explore a life hack that has the power to transform your mental health, relationships, and even your beauty ~ SMILING.

Smiling is a universal gesture that has the power to change not only your own mood but also the mood of those around you. It is a simple act that can go a long way in improving your mental and emotional well-being, as well as your relationship and even your physical appearance. 

According to research, when you smile, your brain releases feel-good neurotransmitters like dopamine, endorphins, and serotonin, which help to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. This, in turn, leads to an increase in positive emotions, such as joy, happiness, and contentment. In fact, even a fake smile can have a positive effect on your mood, as it still activates the same neural pathways in the brain.

So smiling is a simple yet powerful act that can have a significant impact. So go ahead and smile, and see how it can improve your life in more ways than you ever imagined when you listen to this week’s episode.

Quotations:

“Clutter is active, whether you recognize it or not. Clutter is not just sitting there minding its own business. Clutter is active at all times, impacting your nervous system, coming in through your eye gate, going through your brain, and your processing, not enough white space for your brain even to find some downtime or just to relax or to de-stress because you are constantly processing the number of stimuli that you see.”

“Clutter does have a negative impact on your life. It can affect your mental health. It does indeed increase your stress levels, clutter makes it difficult for you to focus, whether you know it or not.” 

“When you declutter, your home will be a place of refuge and tranquility and peace for you instead of a point of contention and frustration.”

“Clutter can even have an effect on how well you sleep. Did you know that? So you're sleeping and your mind is still processing all of the things around you even while you sleep.”

Quotations:

“Clutter is active, whether you recognize it or not. Clutter is not just sitting there minding its own business. Clutter is active at all times, impacting your nervous system, coming in through your eye gate, going through your brain, and your processing, not enough white space for your brain even to find some downtime or just to relax or to de-stress because you are constantly processing the number of stimuli that you see.”

“Clutter does have a negative impact on your life. It can affect your mental health. It does indeed increase your stress levels, clutter makes it difficult for you to focus, whether you know it or not.” 

“When you declutter, your home will be a place of refuge and tranquility and peace for you instead of a point of contention and frustration.”

“Clutter can even have an effect on how well you sleep. Did you know that? So you're sleeping and your mind is still processing all of the things around you even while you sleep.”

Welcome to today’s episode of ‘The BraveHearted Woman’ Podcast with your host and braveheart coach, Dawn Damon where your heart meets your life’s vision. This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.

I believe most of you would know what encountered the word ‘grit.’ But let me tell you its origin. In Etymology, it came from the Old English word ‘grēot,’ which means dust, earth, or gravel. To have that grit is to have the courage, resolve, the strength of character, pluck, or mettle.

For me, grit is the combination of 3 things in achieving one’s long-term goals ~ perseverance, passion, and resilience. It’s about having that sustained and focused effort despite challenges, pushbacks, and catastrophes. Sounds hard, isn’t it? But trust me, grit works. It works for me, and so it will for you too.

Also, do you know that grit is often associated with success in various fields like academics, athletics, business, and arts? In a research study by psychologies, Angela Duckworth showed how grit can be developed, scaled, and measured. 

Having grit does not mean a person is immune to failures and setbacks, but rather they can bounce back from all these challenges and use them as learning experiences. And grit can help you, a brave-hearted woman in achieving and navigating the ups and downs of your life with perseverance, passion, and resilience. So if you wanna know how to start, head over to this week’s episode to find out!

Quotations:

“...crawling is acceptable. Failing is acceptable. Falling is acceptable. Puking is acceptable. Crying is acceptable. Blood is acceptable. Sweat is acceptable. Pain is acceptable. But quitting on a worthy is not acceptable. So if your goals are honorable and worth your time and effort to pursue. In other words, they're worth waiting for. Then at some point in life, you're gonna need grit. You're gonna need this commodity called resilience, grit, and perseverance to keep going because what is worth having is hard work.”

“Quitting is a habit, by the way. It's just something that you do because you're afraid of failure, defeat, and shame.”

“The Bible talks a lot about perseverance, but it is twofold. Not only do you grow in the strength of character, but you get your results too. You get the reward, you get the prize, and you reach your goals.”

“Keep your fire ablaze. Focus on the wind. Keep your drive and your commitment going forward. Don't let distractions dim your light. Don't let disappointments snuff you out.  Because you are called to the work that you're passionate about or that you were passionate about.”

“For goals that are easy, low-hanging fruit. You don't need the grit to get something that's quickly done, but you need the grit to get something that's long-term.”

This month's Free Gift; BRAVE VISION BLASTOFF WORKBOOK!

https://www.braveheartedwoman.com/visionblastoff


Welcome to today’s episode of ‘The BraveHearted Woman’ Podcast with your host and braveheart coach, Dawn Damon where your heart meets your life’s vision. This is a go-to podcast for empowering women with beautiful visions for their lives who ultimately desire to live with purpose, find their brave, and fulfill dreams.

I know for some reason, change can be overwhelming. Most women would rather play safe and just stand still where they are right now. But let me tell you, change is beautiful. That change will add more colors to your life. And change can definitely bring you success.

But first, let’s define what change is. Change is the act or process of becoming different and undergoing a transformation. It varies from the range of things to one’s thoughts, feelings, behavior, or circumstances. Having said that, it will be a long process. So, it's important that you do this, you acknowledge the feeling of fear and uncertainty, doubt, anxiety, or even stress.


Also, change is inevitable in life. It can bring both opportunities and challenges to grow, learn and develop. Adapting to change requires flexibility, resilience, creativity, and openness to new possibilities. Embracing change can lead to personal and social progress, while resisting to change can lead to stagnation and frustration.


So, are you gonna step up the game or just live in your what-ifs? Learn more about the stages of change, how you can begin, and the perks of saying ‘Yes!’ Head over to this week’s episode to find out.!

19:02 - The Princess Bride movie

20:51 - Stage 5: Success & Fulfillment

22:29 - How coaching is the only way you're gonna make it through that cycle of change



Quotations:


“... if you understand the cycle of change, it is so powerful for you and as I call it, my brave transformation ~ the cycle of change.”


“I want you every day to keep making one step. A baby step. A slide edge towards your goal. Towards the change that you say you want. It doesn't have to be a quantum leap. Just one step. Be consistent.”


“Everyone loves a fresh start and new beginnings. It's exhilarating.”


“Keep going, keep doing what you do. Don't overthink it. Don't get in your head. Don't rationalize. Do it.”


“Some pushups are better than no pushups. Some savings are better than no savings. Some days of sobriety are better than no days of sobriety. Some days of eating healthy and restrictive will lead you to freedom in other ways.”

They embrace stoicism as an honorable state and reject emotions and feelings. They slam the door of their heart and lock it up, pretending courage, unfettered by circumstances.

But never has there been a more inviting time to investigate your heart, get curious about what’s knocking at that door, and open yourself up to owning and integrating with your story.

This is true bravery. Not holding a stiff upper lip and denying that you are feeling something, but defying suppression, step into the awakening and answer the question, what’s going on with me? What am I feeling? Why do I feel sad?

Emotions are messengers. They share the key that unlocks the mystery of you. And when you choose to neglect that part of you that is trying to speak truth; when you dissociate and stuff and run, your emotions will send that message to other parts of your body, hoping to get your attention.

Active listening is one way to show you love and care about the person you are in a relationship with.

Improve Your Communication in Relationships

 Whether introvert, extrovert, long talker- short talker- beat around the bush talker or direct to the heart talker, communication is a skill. And it should be healthy, fostered, practiced, and planned.

 Benefits of Healthy Communication:

·      Increased trust

·      Deeper Intimacy  

·      Joy and feeling loved and heard

·      Better conflict resolution

·      Healthy relationships

1.    Listening- to hear not respond, listen unoffended. Listen with empathy. This talk may be hard for your person to express. Listen to understand. First listen to Understand THEN to be understood.

 Active listening involves:

  • Nonverbal involvement positive body language
  • Paying attention to what’s being said not your response
  • Keeping an open heart….No judgment
  • Allowing for silence

 2.    Don’t interrupt. Sometimes communication is like mining for treasure… it’s not always just laying on the top. When you interrupt, you short circuit the depth of a convo and shut it down. Love is patient. Patient communication means you wait your turn.

3.    Don’t over-communicate. That’s a thing! – excessive, to defend, state a case, or manipulate till you get agreement. Stop Pause, give room for others.

4.    Use I statements- not blaming, excuse making

5.    Keep confidential

6.    Pay attention to non-verbal cues. Body language.

7.    Ask open ended questions. Care about the other person.

8.    Don’t escalate.

9.    Affirm others while you communicate. Know their love language. Speak a language they appreciate.
