Finding Freedom

Mom, executive at GoodLeap, a multibillion dollar company, best selling author, and influencer, Kelly Resendez joins Dawn to delve into the essence of freedom and authenticity. Sharing personal journeys, they break free from societal norms to embrace self-awareness, fulfilment, and purpose. Explore confidence, worthiness, and stepping into your power to design a life of freedom. Tune in for inspiring stories and valuable insights on living boldly as your true self.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Kelly defines freedom as embracing authenticity and joy, whether through family time, hobbies, or fulfilling work. It's about shedding societal expectations and embracing true freedom in every aspect of life.
• Emphasising the pivotal shift from seeking external validation to embracing inner truth and vision, Kelly notes this transition empowers individuals to authentically step into their power. Yet, it's not just about the decision—it's about fostering an empowering mindset and implementing effective strategies to support this newfound authenticity.
• Crafting a clear vision of one's contribution to the world and aligning goals, mindset, beliefs, and energy accordingly is crucial. It's about nurturing positive energy through activities that ignite passion, rather than succumbing to low energy as an inevitable outcome of daily life.
• Encouraging the building of confidence by continually venturing beyond comfort zones, proving personal resilience in the face of challenges, is vital. Confidence is cultivated through practice, not innate talent. Kelly suggests celebrating moments of overcoming self-doubt or fear as one would reward a puppy during training.

BEST MOMENTS 

“One of the greatest challenges that we have, especially as females, is a desire to explain”

"We have this idea that confidence should just miraculously appear”

"It's not like a relationship because ultimately, you can end a relationship”

"Freedom means fully stepping into one's highest power and choosing a life of authenticity and purpose."

Entrepreneur Rob Moore joins Dawn Morgan on Finding Freedom to discuss living life on your own terms. They explore controversial topics like cashless societies and imposter syndrome, emphasising the importance of embracing change and shedding old patterns. Rob shares his personal journey to freedom through accountability, integrity and strategic life design. Discover how to plant your flag with pride, confront relationships with respect, and achieve balance through mindset shifts. Rob and Dawn challenge you to push boundaries, break records, and find fulfilment in the challenges of personal growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To Rob, freedom means living life on your own terms, at the speed you desire, without intervention from governments and central banks, while still being accountable to others. True freedom requires responsibility and accountability. 
• To really taste freedom, you need context - you need to experience restriction and hardship to fully appreciate freedom when you have it. Freedom is a present moment choice, not a destination.  
• Avoiding conflict prevents growth. You need to embrace challenging conversations and disagreements to evolve. This can be done respectfully. If you don't speak out about things you disagree with, nothing will change.
• Know your non-negotiables - your values, beliefs and boundaries. Articulate them. Plant your flag proudly. Don't apologise for standing up for what you believe in. Clarity on your non-negotiables allows you to live and lead with integrity.

BEST MOMENTS 

"Freedom is not a destination. Freedom is a present moment." 

"In a way cash is a certain amount of freedom. Because let's say the government's and the central banks decided they didn't want you to leave the house because they wanted to do another lockdown. Yeah, where if money and information is all digital, they can just shut your account down." 

"The more freedom you have also, paradoxically, the more responsibility you have, this is the delusion that most people don't understand."

"Freedom means living life, on your terms, but being accountable to the people who rely on you." 

"Just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row one's going to fall off, or someone's going to shoot one."

Dawn’s guest today is Leslie Fiorenzo. Leslie guides her clients to find their voice and share their unique story to grow their business. Leslie's unique approach comes from over 30 years spent in corporate environments as a human resources professional. A lifelong learner, she has achieved a number of certifications and holds a master's degree in Human Resource Development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To Leslie, freedom is the opportunity to share what you feel is important about your business and being confident in your ability to do that. When you’re scared it makes you stuck and when you’re stuck then you’re not free.
• Leslie advocates for coaching to unlock internal potential and prioritise future growth, distinct from therapy's emphasis on resolving past issues. She advises seeking coaching to break through barriers and progress.
• Leslie highlights that fear of public speaking, networking, and self-promotion is acquired rather than innate. She supports clients in overcoming these fears to effectively promote their businesses and create impact.
• It’s important to heed your inner champion for liberation from self-doubt. Leslie collaborates with clients to quiet their inner critic, enabling them to pursue aspirations boldly and realise their dreams.

BEST MOMENTS  

“Don’t listen to that little voice inside your head that says you can’t”

“Take a step back and ask, does this feel right for me?”

“We just need to be persistent and get up when knocked down”

“Share your light - don't be the world's best kept secret”

ABOUT THE GUEST

“Early in my career I belonged to a businesswomen’s group, and they held a speaking contest. First prize was $100.  I entered, I prepared and was disappointed when I didn’t win first prize, I didn’t even place in the top 5!  A mentor of mine who was in the audience, gave me the following feedback: “You had a death grip on the podium, did you think it was going to run away?  You stumbled over your words and the two stories you told didn’t connect to the topic.” I was devastated.  It was all I could do to not cry on the way home in a car full of other women. But I was determined to conquer my fears, create stories that make an impact and craft a presentation that would wow the audience. Fast forward 10 years and my then employer sent me to present our safety program at an industry conference.  This time the prize was based on the impact of the program not the presentation, yet when people approached me afterward and gave me compliments on my delivery and the stories I shared; I knew I’d moved well beyond that timid young woman losing a speech contest years before.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Anke grew up in East Germany behind the Berlin Wall, where freedom was severely restricted. She felt like a "big parrot in a tiny cage", unable to travel or make her own choices. 
• After leaving East Germany, Anke realised that freedom in West Germany was not as perfect as it seemed from the outside. However, she still valued the autonomy to make her own choices without government interference.
• Anke moved to Spain to work for herself and have the freedom to follow her passions, even starting a dressmaking business out of pure interest.
• Now Anke advocates for dogs through her Soul Touched by Dogs project, celebrating the human-canine connection. This allows her to do meaningful work on her own terms.
• To Anke, freedom means "having an idea and being able to make it happen". It's about autonomy over her life path rather than material possessions.

BEST MOMENTS 

"Freedom isn't having the tropical island and luxury. It's about freedom of creative expression."

"In East Germany everything was guided, they treated you like toddlers."

"I wanted autonomy. I didn't want to watch some big company be steered in the wrong direction." 

"Freedom to me means having an idea and being able to make it happen."

Andrew Cook and Dawn discuss personal freedom, work-life balance, and entrepreneurship. They reflect on cultural differences in work ethic and productivity, sharing experiences in the military and corporate world. Andrew emphasises tailoring HR solutions to small businesses, while Dawn helps solopreneurs build their side businesses. They agree freedom means spending time and money on what's meaningful.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Andrew critiques the Puritan work ethic's impact on American culture, highlighting a constant need to work at the expense of personal life. He contrasts this with Europe's healthier work-life balance. He attributes this mindset to Puritan values, leading to equating worth with productivity. Andrew critiques societal stigmas and business language, reflecting on his father's experience.
• In his business, Andrew simplifies HR processes for small business clients, aiming to save them time, money, and frustration. He customises solutions to their scale and requirements, eschewing overly complex systems designed for larger corporations. Andrew's mission is to streamline operations, enabling clients to focus on what truly matters for their business' growth and success.
• Andrew values entrepreneurship for the autonomy it provides him over his time and resources. Reflecting on past jobs, where he sacrificed family time to fulfil others' demands, he now cherishes owning his business, affording him the freedom to align work with personal values.
• Freedom to Andrew is having the freedom to spend his resources, his time, money, and energy in ways that are meaningful and impactful in his world. He doesn’t feel obligated to work long hours or chase promotions. He cherishes being able to have lunch with his son daily and spend time with family

BEST MOMENTS

Today Dawn is joined by Jamie Vollmoeller. Jamie is a mum, wife, group practice owner, clinical therapist, radio host, and certified clinical trauma professional. Jamie is on a mission to remind mums and parents that you are good enough and specialises in working with people pleasers, burnt-out parents, and professionals who feel chronically not good enough.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Part of finding freedom is embracing the full spectrum of emotions, recognizing that happiness isn't constant, and accepting negative emotions as part of the human experience. Striving for perpetual happiness is neither realistic nor attainable for anyone. 
• Children often mimic the body language and emotions of their parents, reflecting their caregivers' emotional states. Parents serve as emotional regulators for their children and should be projecting healthy emotional expression, providing comfort, and offering support during challenging times. 
• People often strive excessively to gain universal approval, morphing into social chameleons. Yet, this facade breeds unhappiness, as authenticity gets sacrificed. True contentment arises when one embraces their genuine self, finding their tribe among those who appreciate them for who they truly are.
• For Jamie, freedom is the ability to be herself in any situation and feel completely safe while doing so in both mind and body. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘It was almost like I was a prisoner in my mind, I knew my thoughts were not true’

‘As parents we are their sense of safety, if I feel safe then so will they’

‘You’re not in control of other people, but you are in control of how you respond’ 

‘Thank you for that piece of advice, but I’m going to go my own way’

Ashley Holmes is a holistic fertility coach, who supports women struggling with infertility to connect mind, body and spirit to conceive with ease. Ashley joins Dawn to share her journey of unlearning conditioning and finding freedom through yoga and meditation, despite societal expectations and grief from infertility.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ashley found freedom by unlearning conditioning and realising she can choose thoughts that serve her in each moment. She shifted her locus of control from external to internal.
• Facing criticism is normal. Ashley experienced resistance when she started standing in her truth, but came to realise other's judgments reflect them, not her. She trusts her inner knowing and path which helps her find freedom.
• Meditation helps rewire unconscious patterns for personal growth. Ashley helps others struggling with infertility by providing experiential tools like yoga and meditation to address mind, body and spirit for rest, ease and alignment. 
• Freedom to Ashley is truly mind, body and spirit being in alignment and balance. Because when you have that within you, you don't feel restrictions. When everything feels coherent and you feel like your best true self, then that is freedom because no one can take that from you.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘We can all uplift and rise together, and nobody needs to feel alone or be left behind’

‘I felt stuck, and that I didn't have any control over what was happening to me very much in a victim sort of mindset mindframe’

‘Seeing can't be unseen. There is no going back’

‘I shifted the locus of control from external to internal’

What does it really mean to be free? Former nonprofit director Steve Anderson joins Dawn to share his perspectives on embracing emotional freedom, overcoming fear and self-doubt, and living life unapologetically as your true self. Steve reflects on his personal journey to express himself openly without anxiety, gain confidence in his emotions, and let go of expectations. Find out about taking risks, making space for failure, and questioning self-limiting beliefs, the balances between freedom and responsibility in relationships, parenting, and professional roles, and making responsible choices.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Freedom means taking responsibility, setting boundaries, and deciding based on internal values. Steve stresses saying "no" as vital for maintaining freedom—protecting individual needs, resisting external pressures, and fostering authenticity in the journey of self-discovery.
• While freedom of speech is widely supported, concerns arise over self-censorship among students. Embracing diverse perspectives becomes crucial for true freedom, encouraging open dialogue and enriching the learning environment.
• Balancing parental responsibilities and personal freedom is essential. Releasing guilt is key, enabling a more focused and fulfilling commitment to family life. This delicate equilibrium promotes a healthier and more harmonious parenting experience.
• Emotional freedom is voicing feelings without fear of judgement. Steve values spaces that allow sharing perspectives, fostering understanding, and discovering common ground. This openness contributes to a supportive and emotionally liberated environment.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Freedom is when I go, Oh, this is what I think this is what I feel this is what I'm interested in. And I have the ability to act on it’

‘Freedom requires effort and choice, but fear can hold us back’

‘They say you should have a plan. But I don't always have a plan’

Dawn is joined by Artemisia de Vine for a fascinating conversation covering themes of freedom, sexuality, and personal choice from the perspective of a former sex worker and somatic sexologist. Artemisia discusses the complex interplay between restriction and expansion that creates freedom. She shares her personal story of struggling with societal stigma as a sex worker while seeking inner wisdom and autonomy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Artemisia faced challenges growing up, with her mother dying young and her father rejecting her. This led her to follow her own path and interests, leading to her fascination with the sex industry. She went "native" and became a sex worker to understand people's desires.
• Sexual fantasies help us overcome our fears of vulnerability so we can let go. They are stories that transport us to different feeling states. 
• Women can get in the mood by tuning into their own desires and following what their body wants, starting small like with a cup of tea. Artemisia advises setting a date with yourself and your desire to overcome resistance.
• Embarrassment about sexual fantasies is natural, as there is a part of us, ego, that resists vulnerability. But we can use the charge productively. Sexual fantasies allow us to temporarily relax the ego/self that normally protects us, so we can access states of connection beyond our everyday consciousness.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Your first port of call is to tune inwards rather than outwards to your own desire compass’

‘Stories are powerful because a lot of us use stories and escape’

‘Any any sort of charge can be used in a destructive or constructive way’

‘Sometimes freedom means bondage’

ABOUT THE GUEST 

Artemisia de Vine was scared of sex, so instead of running from it, she poked it with a stick to see how it works. When we face our fears we transform them. This led to a lifetime of personal and professional sexplorations to understand how the erotic psyche works. She learned from some of the leading erotic pioneers in the world, spent well over a decade as a full-time sex worker and professional dominatrix, and is now an internationally sought after sexpert who mentors elite sex workers, therapists, sex educators and self-discovery seekers how to understand the erotic mind and create tailored experiences based on each person's unique erotic narrative. She has an upcoming book: The Spirituality of Smut: The surprising wisdom of sexual fantasies.

Dawn and former Interim-Manager turned coach, Stephan Szugat, discuss his journey to simplicity in finding inner joy. Stephan coaches businesses on profit and individuals on happiness through practices like mindfulness and facing fears. This episode promotes enduring freedom and joy within through heightened self-awareness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Personal freedom is seizing control, confidently aligning decisions with values despite fearing judgement. It means setting healthy boundaries, risking disapproval, and saying "no" to what doesn't serve your highest good. It's honouring authenticity over conformity.
• Emotional freedom is the capacity to feel and express emotions without guilt or anxiety about judgement. It demands self-awareness, vulnerability to explore your inner world, and a safe space for open, honest self-expression without fear of rejection.
• True freedom is maintaining an open mind, exploring ideas without rigid opinions, and evolving perspectives when faced with new information. It demands humility, critical thinking, and resisting the urge to judge.
• Freedom entails responsibility – caring for yourself, serving loved ones, and contributing to your community. It's living intentionally, aligned with values, not recklessly. True freedom recognizes our interconnection and considers how actions impact others.
• Freedom is cultivating self-awareness, challenging limiting beliefs, embracing imperfection, and pursuing new experiences despite initial fear. It's moving forward despite anxiety, refusing to let fear constrain growth and self-expression. Freedom is an ongoing practice.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘Freedom means being true to oneself and finding happiness in the present moment’

‘Feelings is come and go just like the clouds in the sky’

‘What am I doing to myself with having these negative beliefs’

‘It was incredibly freeing, suddenly realising it's not me, it's my subconscious mind trying to protect me’
