“It's like He is four steps ahead of me…I always envisioned Him holding my hand, like I'm just right behind Him, and Him always turning around going, hold on one second, let me go in this door…I got this. And so I just felt like the whole journey was like that..” ~Dawn Barton

Have you struggled to believe that God will exchange your good for His better?

How would you respond if He asked you to surrender your season of success?

Our guest today, Dawn Barton, will share how God called her to transition from her successful career as a Mary Kay Consultant into becoming an author and how she has learned to navigate a new season of caretaking for her loved one. 

Dawn’s Bio

Dawn Barton left a thirty-year career in sales marketing, despite being pretty darn good at it (like #7 Sales Director in Mary Kay Cosmetics good), to follow a calling and write. Her first book, 2020’s Laughing Through the Ugly Cry, became a bestselling success, garnering the prestigious ECPA Christian Book Award for New Author of the Year. Stunned to be entering her fifties as a successful author, she was inspired to write her second book, Midlife Battle Cry, urging women to resist the pull of streaming television algorithms and get excited about ‘redefining the mighty second half.

Dawn speaks at conferences, churches, elevators, and just about anywhere anyone will listen to her 

thoughts on finding joy and humor in even the most difficult of circumstances. When she’s not smiling at blank pages pretending to write, Dawn is a speaker giving talks about cancer, joy, female empowerment, and direct sales, podcast host of the upcoming Porch Ramblings with Dawn Barton, and the founder of the Retreats at Trinity. She’s living the sandwich-generation dream with her husband, daughter, parents, mother-in-law, and too many animals to count in Cantonment, FL
