I’m your BraveHeart mentor, Dawn Damon. 
I’m a Confidence Coach, Author, Teacher, and Speaker, whose ultimate goal is to champion women like you! 
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. And because I know how scary it can be to take steps of courageous action that lead to change, I want to support and equip you as you move toward any life transformation you desire! 
Our discussions cover various topics for mid-life women, including bold life reinvention, beauty hacks, powerful mindsets, healthy habits and disciplines, physical health, spirituality, and soul healing. I help awaken your heart to believe and to see what is possible! 

We explore the mindsets of a successful woman, and talk about what I call the “5 Fortitudes of a BraveHearted Women;” of course, I use the acronym BRAVE.
•	Bold Vision
•	Real Identity
•	Able mindsets
•	Virtuous Self-Talk

If you want to grow and develop, ignite the flame of your vision, reach your goals, and achieve your dreams, you’ve come to the right place because we are all things “women empowerment.”

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when Dr. Chester shares her experience as a breast cancer survivor.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Throughout the episode, Dr. Chester offers practical wisdom for women navigating uncertainty, career pivots, or personal trials.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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?</p><p><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><p class="ql-align-justify">0:00 - Intro</p><p class="ql-align-justify">1:11 - This is my 200th episode!!</p><p class="ql-align-justify">1:52 - Why our brains resist change</p><p class="ql-align-justify">3:33 - How midlife is not the end, but a new beginning</p><p class="ql-align-justify">5:09 - Lesson #1: Playing small always costs more than being brave</p><p class="ql-align-justify">7:18 - Lesson #2: Many midlife women decide to play small</p><p class="ql-align-justify">9:36 - Lesson #3: Many women are afraid to be invisible in midlife transition</p><p class="ql-align-justify">12:20 - Lesson #4: Midlife women can do hard things</p><p class="ql-align-justify">14:29 - Lesson #5: There is no right time</p><p class="ql-align-justify">19:40 - Lesson #6: You don’t outgrow your calling</p><p class="ql-align-justify">20:53 - Questions to ask yourself today</p><br><br><p><strong>Quotations:</strong></p><p><em>“Procrastination has a price tag, and many women are paying for it with their calling.”</em></p><p><em>“Courage is not a personality trait; it’s something you cultivate.”</em></p><p><em>“Regret is heavier than the risk of doing something afraid.”</em></p><p><em>“Brave doesn’t mean reckless — it means responsive to the calling you feel.”</em></p><p><em>“One obedience step can change the entire trajectory of your life.”</em></p><p><em>“Consistency proves to yourself that you can be trusted with more.”</em></p><p><em>“Endings aren’t failures — they’re necessary for new beginnings.”</em></p><p><em>“If you’re waiting for someday, maybe today is your someday.”</em></p><p><em>“You don’t need to leap.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Here are the highlights:</p><ol><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Why feeling invisible in midlife is common — and what it’s really revealing</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>How identity tied to roles and usefulness erodes midlife confidence for women</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>The mindset shift required to reclaim your voice and presence</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Why clarity of purpose creates true visibility — without performing</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>How boundaries, values, and daily practices protect your energy</li><li data-list="bullet"><span class="ql-ui" contenteditable="false"></span>Practical steps to begin self-discovery and personal growth in midlife</li></ol><br/><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>👉 Visit braveheartedwoman.com/bravehearted-transformation</p><p>Remember — this is not the end of your story.

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.</p><p>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.

We serve a God of hope.”</em></p><p class="ql-align-justify">In this episode of <em>The BraveHearted Woman Podcast</em>, I sit down with author and speaker Jody Allen to discuss her new book <em>Hidden Heartache: Finding Courage When Your Husband Struggles with Pornography</em>. Jody vulnerably shares her journey of betrayal, healing, and ultimately discovering hope beyond heartbreak.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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 <em>Feelings Wheel</em>, praying Scripture, setting healthy boundaries, and finding strength in worship to move from pain to healing.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><br></p><p><strong>Quotations:</strong></p><p><em>“Divorce is not a death sentence.

Kamini emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, understanding underlying narratives behind behaviors, and taking values-based actions.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.

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.

And we do get to choose if we're going to come into acceptance with our new normal and embrace it and learn.”</em> - Dawn Damon</p><p><em>“Keep going.”</em> - Lori Vober</p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li>Get a copy of Lori Vober’s book, Choices:</li><li>Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Choices-When-Faced-Challenge-Choice/dp/1685560873/ref=sr_1_1?crid=I85X9VZD9QBM&amp;keywords=lori+vober&amp;qid=1642882908&amp;sprefix=lori+vober%2Caps%2C401&amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Choices-When-Faced-Challenge-Choice/dp/1685560873/ref=sr_1_1?crid=I85X9VZD9QBM&amp;keywords=lori+vober&amp;qid=1642882908&amp;sprefix=lori+vober%2Caps%2C401&amp;sr=8-1</a></li><li>Barnes and Noble:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/choices-lori-vober/1140873875?ean=9781685560874" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/choices-lori-vober/1140873875?ean=9781685560874</a></li><li>Walmart: <a href="https://www.walmart.com/ip/Choices-When-You-Are-Faced-with-a-Challenge-What-Choice-Will-You-Make-Paperback-9781685560874/538305410" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.walmart.com/ip/Choices-When-You-Are-Faced-with-a-Challenge-What-Choice-Will-You-Make-Paperback-9781685560874/538305410</a></li><li>Get a copy of Dawn’s books here: <a href="https://dawndamon.com/books/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dawndamon.com/books/</a></li><li>Book a strategy call with Dawn: <a href="https://dawndamon.com/high-level-mentoring-coaching/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dawndamon.com/high-level-mentoring-coaching/</a></li></ul><br/><p><strong>Get in touch:&nbsp;</strong></p><ul><li>Connect with Lori Vober: <a href="http://www.lorivober.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.lorivober.com</a></li><li>Connect with your BraveHeart Mentor, Dawn Damon:</li><li>Email me at: <a href="mailto:info@DawnScottDamon.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@DawnScottDamon.com</a></li><li>Website: <a href="https://dawndamon.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dawndamon.com/</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dawn_damon/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/dawn_damon/</a></li><li>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MentorDawnDamon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/MentorDawnDamon</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DawnScottDamonPastor/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@DawnScottDamonPastor/</a></li></ul><br/><br><p><strong>Download the full transcript </strong><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/10ia1OjY4KXvRxLzHNdAzMOAJOTysc57q/view?usp=share_link" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[https://the-bravehearted-woman.captivate.fm/episode/lorivoberchoices]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">c4c4c09c-11f1-46d0-9ea6-b3d05f710773</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/e74084e4-1434-445d-8236-196899a3e244/zDITqrRgwCDk4vuEW7E17V95.jpg"/><pubDate>Mon, 24 Apr 2023 09:00:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/033485f4-8680-4745-a657-7c4ebd9edb7f/BHW-EP-96-converted.mp3" length="21861574" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>30:22</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>3</itunes:season><itunes:episode>96</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>96</podcast:episode><podcast:season>3</podcast:season><podcast:transcript url="https://transcripts.captivate.fm/transcript/36cf8eb6-69bc-40a5-b61c-d65960854d00/index.html" type="text/html"/></item><item><title>How to overcome self-doubt</title><itunes:title>How to overcome self-doubt</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[<p class="ql-align-justify"><em>Don’t let self-doubt hold you back any longer!</em></p><p class="ql-align-justify">Welcome to today’s episode of ‘<em>The BraveHearted Woman’ </em>Podcast with your host and braveheart coach, Dawn Damon where your heart meets your life’s vision.

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.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.&nbsp;</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.

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.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><br><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><br><p class="ql-align-justify">So, are you gonna step up the game or just live in your what-ifs?

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.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><br><p class="ql-align-justify">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.</p><br><p class="ql-align-justify">So, are you gonna step up the game or just live in your what-ifs?
