Finding Freedom

Louisa is a powerhouse of positivity and energy, she helps busy women transform their health while having fun, and without overwhelming restrictions. Dawn has had the pleasure of coaching Louisa through her  journey to finding freedom from societal expectations and living authentically. As a child, she focused on pleasing others and meeting their expectations. Over time, she realised this was not authentic to who she was.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Freedom for Louisa is feeling alive, present in her space and body, unbound by societal expectations. It's rejecting others' standards, avoiding the future's grip, and embracing the essence of now—immersing herself in the present, in her being, and her space.
• Louisa helps clients get to the root cause of their weight and body image struggles, which often stem from emotional reasons like seeking love or hiding from feeling unattractive. She digs deeper with clients to understand the underlying beliefs and experiences driving their behaviours. This enables her to create customised plans that address core issues rather than just surface level actions.
• Louisa emphasises making small, sustainable changes rather than extreme, short-lived diets. She meets clients where they are instead of prescribing rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions. For example, she may suggest incorporating a vegetable at each meal or taking a walk rather than immediately adopting an intense workout regimen. This individualised approach leads to longer-lasting change.
• As a coach, Louisa aims to be a supportive cheerleader celebrating wins and working through challenges as a team. She partners with clients on their health journey rather than dictating steps. This collaborative dynamic and accountability helps motivate clients to do the work themselves to transform their health.

BEST MOMENTS 

‘I was that person who was focused on everybody else's opinion of what I should be doing how I should be living my life’

‘We're always focused so much on the future, that we don't take the time to just experience now’

‘Freedom is being your authentic self and not having to hide behind anybody else's perceptions’

WARNING – this podcast discusses and describes Jimmi’s experience with ritualistic child abuse.

Dawn is joined by author, music producer and artist Jimmi Toro to talk about his devastating story of child abuse. Jimmi talks about his own abuse and how it impacted him as an adult and how he has managed to heal. He also discusses systematic child abuse in the world, and how to deal with trauma as well his charity work and his book HEAL.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Trauma isn’t so much about what happened to you but the wound it leaves upon you.
• Child abusers are very good at hiding what they do, they are often master manipulators and hide in plain sight.
• Most children who are abused are abused by someone they know.
• Once a child is abused, if they can find safety after in someone who loves them then they can heal. Jimmi had no one to turn to as a child and what happened instead is it stored the abuse inside of him.
• Not being believed by adults they tell compounds the trauma for children who have been abused.
• Jimmi was a victim of ritualistic child abuse which included being buried in a coffin alive inside a dead adult body. An unimaginable experience.
• To heal from abuse, you have to go back and reconcile with each and every experience, and heal from every single time.
• When Jimmi started his process of healing, he studied and read countless books and research on trauma and healing.
• Jimmi had repressed memories of his experiences of abuse, they didn’t start coming back to him until he was in his 40’s and it took time for him to start the healing process through talk therapy.
• Part of the healing process for Jimmi was to name the emotions he felt when remembering the abuse and to then go back and make his younger self feel safe.
• Sadly it is common that those who have been abused or been through trauma never heal.

BEST MOMENTS 

“I think we can all agree on the idea of pain and anxiety is a painful experience, an unwanted experience”

“I have a hard time calling them human, they are so far removed from a human being”

“When someone is traumatised, your body goes into a fight or flight mode”

“Humans are good at their evil craft”

“You have to go back to that little you who was abused at the time that you were being abused”

“Many people who are traumatised don’t ever heal”

Allison is a brain health coach and an expert in helping women reclaim their mental wellbeing and improve both their energy and their mood. In this episode, Allison shares her journey including discovering the link between brain health and anxiety and gives her thoughts on what she thinks often exacerbates anxiety in the modern world including the media and poor diet.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Many of us don’t learn much about our brain, we are taught very little, particularly around mental health and the link with menopause.
• Allison began to notice the changes in her brain and mood whilst going through menopause, she felt like she was losing her sense of self and began to have panic attacks.
• Functional medicine is looking at the whole person and this is an area Allison discovered when looking for help with her symptoms and went on to transform her life.
• Her own experience meant that Allison decided to train as a health coach specialising in brain health, she wanted to help others in the way she helped herself.
• Diet has a proven impact on all health including brain health, particularly around dopamine and serotonin production and release.
• A drop in sugar, a sugar low, is linked to feelings of anxiety so it really can be the case that what you eat impacts your anxiety and your ability to deal with it.
• Rates of anxiety are the highest they have ever been, pointing to the way we live our lives in the modern world as a cause including diet, media consumption and other lifestyle factors.
• Diet is more than just food, think about the content you are consuming too including the news and social media.

BEST MOMENTS 

“We learn more about our heart and our skin but nobody really teaches us about the organ that is our brain”

“People don’t know what they could do for themselves”

“Our food has a very powerful impact on our brain and the neurotransmitters in our brain”

“Whatever we can do to try and keep those blood sugar levels stable actually is really beneficial for somebody if they’re struggling with anxiety”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Allison Lui is a brain health coach and expert in helping women to reclaim their mental sharpness and improve their energy and mood. When she struggled with brain fog, panic attacks and low mood in her early 50s, she felt like she was losing her sense of self. But that all changed when she adopted a holistic approach to her health, which she uses with her clients today. As a result she increased her own ‘brain reserve’, improving her memory, mood and relationships. She now coaches women in their 40s and beyond to achieve the same so that they can handle life’s challenges with ease, face the future with confidence, and fully engage in life at work and at home. Her motto: Stay sharp for life.

For your FREE Burnout E-Book head to Tess’ website https://tessjewelllarsen.coach/freebie/

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Tess has struggled with anxiety since childhood, this was amplified by moving away from home and then back again.
• Hiking was a great stress reliever and a way Tess would deal with anxiety and her mental health, even though she didn’t realise it at the time.
• There isn’t just one type of treatment for anxiety, there isn’t even one type of meditation. It’s important that you keep trying to find what works for you even if what you try at first doesn’t work.
• You have to be ready to work on yourself and your stress and anxiety. Until you recognise your difficulties and ground yourself you won’t be ready to start treatment.
• 2020 was the most difficult period for Tess’ anxiety, she had a lot of difficult situations to deal with including her husbands' health difficulties.
• Covid had a devastating impact on so many people, it leaves a lasting legacy of mental health problems including anxiety, largely due to the lack of support during that time as well as so many people feeling they had no control over situations.
• After experiencing her anxiety crisis in 2020, Tess knew she had to try and take control. She quit her job and put herself fully into her passion of Yoga, studying it in depth and then beginning to teach others.
• Tess then went on to becoming certified in wellness coaching, she wanted to support others but also used what she learnt to support herself and her own anxiety.
• This multi-faceted approach to dealing with her anxiety helped Tess realise how much she could transform others lives as well as her own.
• Tess’ 10-minute method for burnout: Spend 10 minutes of your day and ask yourself, how are you doing, how are you feeling and decide what you need to do today to take 1 step to support yourself.

BEST MOMENTS 

“Meet yourself where you’re at…focus on grounding yourself first before you start working on those things”

“Anxiety is all about lack of control and being able to control the future and covid was classic on that, none of us knew what was happening day to day let alone year to year”

“I’m gonna teach yoga on the side and focus on me”

“I’m still continuing that dive of learning all of these different techniques and being able to not only support myself with them…and others”

“It seems so little, 10 minutes, but when you do them all the time every single day you actually spend a lot more time for yourself”

Anine Ekelund is a public speaker, consultant and life coach with over 20 years of experience. Anine has founded multiple support networks, ran and created various leadership workshops at fortune 100 companies and most recently,

Anine talks Dawn about the unique and proven ways she has eliminated her anxiety and they also discuss the physiological and psychological symptoms anxiety presents and what they can often mean for us as individuals.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Anine started to experience anxiety in small ways as a child, often freezing in situations where she felt fearful or under pressure, such as performing or at school.
• Part of the reason Anine followed her career path, into a role with a lot of public speaking, was to face her fears. It did help but she still hadn’t addressed the underlying problem, of what was causing her anxiety.
• To live life to the fullest we have to keep pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones and this means facing our fears.
• Our body can respond physically when we are not aligned or if we are doing something that we feel we aren’t capable of. Our learnt limiting beliefs, rules and expectations can impact us unconsciously.
• When we feel anxiety, we need to be curious about it, it’s our body and brain trying to tell us something.
• Anine made a conscious decision to no longer live in fear and live authentically and this is when her anxiety began to reduce.

BEST MOMENTS 

“Everyone has experienced anxiety at some point in their lives, whether it’s small little bits or big traumatic ones”

“I don’t like to feel fearful, I like to feel strong”

“Feel the fear and do it anyway”

“I have to challenge my fear all the time, to live life to the fullest”

“It’s really about being curious when anxiety shows up because there’s a message there”

“I became so transformed when I found my purpose”

Is your career leaving you anxious, stressed and drained? Dawn had this exact problem in her past career and is joined in this episode by Matias Bichara who has had the same difficulties.

Matias opens up to Dawn about the difficulties and challenges of becoming and practising as a lawyer and how the culture of the industry creates stress and anxiety for many. He sincerely talks about when he realised he could no longer practice law and how he came to recognise that coaching was always what he was meant to do.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Fear, punishment and embarrassment is not a good way to motivate people, yet this is the culture in teaching and practising law. It’s motivation through fear.
• The anxiety and stress Matias felt even at the beginning of his career as a lawyer had a negative impact on his well-being as well as how well he performed.
• When we are fearful, we shut down, it is a natural response. Yet so many leaders do not understand this.
• Law isn’t the only industry where fear is used by leadership, it’s a toxic method that is found in many industries, it is passed down from manager to manager and therefore their teams too.
• Individuals can be made to feel like anything worth doing is supposed to be difficult, hard and stressful. Gaining an outside perspective on this is the only way out and this is was Matias did and he now helps others discover the same.
• Choosing to give up your day job to pursue your real passion can be a difficult decision. Dawn usually recommends that you wait until you are making the same as your day job before you quit unless your current day job is too toxic to wait.
• It’s not always a person’s career that needs to change. Sometimes it’s just the position or even just difficult conversations that need to be had.

BEST MOMENTS 

“You always have to be extra prepared, there’s no room for mistakes”

“People learn to avoid a specific behaviour rather than engage in a new one”

“If your entire life is driven by feat then you are going to collapse”

“I quit my job and then I started to look at what things would fulfil me”

“In reality, I work with anybody who doesn’t like their job”

Matías Bichara is a lawyer who found himself dissatisfied and unfulfilled by the legal profession. The fast pace of the career left him drained and made it difficult for him to be at peace. 

One day, he decided that there must be another way of living his life. Despite all the sacrifices he had made to achieve a successful career, he knew that continuing in this manner wasn’t serving him. That is when he decided something needed to change. He set on a path to find a career that made him feel happy and fulfilled.

Through his journey of passion and purpose discovery, he realized that his true calling was to become a life coach and help people overcome the same problems he had faced for years. His mission now is to help everyone discover their true calling in life, while making the process of taking that leap of faith as smooth and risk-free as possible.

Besides his Juris Doctor (law degree) and law license, Matías holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Missouri – Kansas City, and a Professional Life Coach Certification, as well as a Life Purpose Life Coach Certification from Transformation Academy, Clearwater, Florida.

Kamini Wood is a certified coach who helps people take the courageous steps needed to identify their limiting beliefs, and the reasons behind their stagnation or low self-esteem, so they can have what they want professionally and personally to live a fulfilled life.

Kamini joins Dawn to talk about her own experiences with anxiety and their causes, what this taught her as a person and what we can all learn and gain from anxiety and feelings of inadequacy. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• As a child Kamini struggled to fit in as she felt and looked different, this alongside not wanting to feel a burden to her hard-working parents meant that she learnt perfectionist tendencies and to people please; a recipe for anxiety.
• Witnessing her children presenting perfectionist tendencies was a catalyst for change in Kamini’s own way of dealing with things.
• Finding your limiting beliefs and recognising false narratives are the first steps to begin living your best life, this is something Kamini taught herself and now teaches others too.
• Society, culture, families and our own personalities all have an impact in founding and building our belief and value systems, especially about ourselves.
• Putting boundaries in place is essential if you want to transform yourself as a people pleaser. Not everyone will be happy with you doing this as they were benefitting from your lack of boundaries.
• We can’t eliminate all anxiety and some forms of anxiety actually keep us safe and can be helpful. It’s about recognising when anxiety is unhelpful and how to overcome it when it’s not serving you that’s important.
• Instead of trying to get rid of your anxiety, be curious about it and figure out what it is trying to tell you.
• Life isn’t always easy, it’s the extremes of life, feelings and emotions that allow us to appreciate the good times. You can’t have love, for example, without pain.
• The core belief of not being good enough can affect and impact anyone, it just presents in different ways.
• Being present in the moment, the here and now, is one of the biggest gifts you can give to yourself and those around you.

BEST MOMENTS 

“The stories that I internalised is that I needed to please others and do for others in order to prove my worth”

“Through obstacle can come opportunity, so through anxiety, what is the opportunity?”

“The human experience is about all the ups and down”

“One of the elements of self-compassion is mindfulness, it’s about being in the present moment”

Dawn has experienced trauma, terrorist attacks, divorce, being a single parent on benefits, redundancy (more than once) relationship breakdowns... and a whole lot more; and she has always bounced back. Dawn believes that life is for living and we can learn about ourselves from everything we experience, good or bad. We can take those experiences and use them to grow, or use them to shrink... our choice. Dawn chose growth and thinks you should too.

We all have everything we need within us; hope, resilience, compassion, wisdom, confidence; Dawn’s mission is to help you uncover yours!

Lucia has worked internationally, driven by a life of meaning and connection with a mission to empower her clients to rethink what is possible, helping them unleash their purpose to build a meaningful and fulfilling career. She joins Dawn in this episode to talk all about her mission, her own journey with anxiety as well as tips and techniques to finding your purpose and living a fulfilled life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Lucia’s experience of anxiety is that it shows up when she is trying to make changes in her life.
• Anxiety is like an internal alarm system in all of us, triggered by our emotions, feelings and personal experiences. It can be helpful, but it can also sabotage us.
• If we want to move forward, progress and evolve in our lives then we have to take risks.
• If you are struggling with negative self-talk, then speaking with others and seeking help can help as you can express how you’re feeling and bring these thoughts out into the open.
• Always try and do something each day that pushes you out of your comfort zone. This way it becomes a habit, you then learn to always learn and adapt and ignore that unhelpful voice of anxiety.
• Lucia helps women find their purpose and unleash their potential surrounding it.
• Problem-solving and creativity are the keys to unlocking your potential, they are also skills that can help manage anxiety.
• It takes a lot of action, effort and will to recognise and work towards where you should be in life. It can feel overwhelming but that doesn’t make it impossible and we all deserve to be fulfilled and happy.

BEST MOMENTS 

“It’s the internal alarms going off, it’s that movement of emotions and feelings”

“The voice is always there but sometimes it can be overwhelming”

“Do something every day that makes you uncomfortable, that pushes the limit in one area of your life”

“I help women do the same because I know what it’s like to not let your life purpose come to the world”

“When you realise you’re not where you need to be, getting where you need to be is a lot of work”

Angela Cairns, physiotherapist, relaxation and writing coach and author talks with Dawn about her own journey to overcome anxiety and shares essential tools that can be used to successfully overcome anxiety

Angela explains why breathwork is the foundation for everything and how surrounding yourself with people who are calm and confident can make a positive difference in how you manage your anxiety

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you can turn feelings of anxiety into feelings of anticipation then you produce different hormones
• Anxiety is a normal reaction  and understanding what’s happening and the reactions make it much easier to overcome
• You can manipulate the chemical reactions in the brain and the body
• Surrounding yourself with people who are calm and positive thinking can make a huge difference in how you can manage the chemicals in your brain
• We want to experience all of the emotions because that’s what makes our lives rich but it’s about having a balance
• It’s important to speak out about your own needs within your environment and community
• Breathing well is the foundation for everything we do
• Writing is a medium that enriches people's lives, lowers anxiety and helps them to build confidence

BEST MOMENTS

‘Anxiety, the chemicals are like taps you can switch them on and off’

ABOUT THE GUEST

Angela Cairns

Born in the U.K., owner of two successful healthcare businesses and BBC broadcaster, Angela has been involved with health and relaxation coaching since 1986. Angela began her writing career with non-fiction articles and progressed to a blend of fiction and non-fiction in the creation of Play Pause Unwind, a series of relaxation visualisation resources. Her dream of writing a novel took longer. She was plagued by doubts about the quality of her writing and at 30,000 words wondered how she would ever finish her book. The pathway to publishing also seemed incredibly daunting. After finding an agent, she then waited over two years for news of a publishing deal. In 2019 she took matters into her own hands and her first novel was finally released later in 2019. She has since become an Amazon best-selling author with four women’s fiction novels and two short story anthologies. Her short stories have also been published in ‘Yours’ magazine and feature regularly on the radio. Her writing coaching began with The Writer’s Company and continues as a freelance coach. She has a passion for helping writers achieve their full creative potential whilst nurturing their personal well-being.

ABOUT THE HOST

Dawn Morgan

Dawn is a hypnotherapist and resilience coach, trainer, mentor and business owner. Dawn has experienced trauma, terrorist attacks, divorce, being a single parent on benefits, redundancy (more than once) relationship breakdowns... and a whole lot more; and she has always bounced back. Dawn believes that life is for living and we can learn about ourselves from everything we experience, good or bad. We can take those experiences and use them to grow or use them to shrink... our choice. Dawn chose growth and thinks you should too.

We all have everything we need within us; hope, resilience, compassion, wisdom, confidence; Dawn’s mission is to help you uncover yours!

Scarlett O'Connor is an NLP & Hypnotherapy Master, 2 x World Champion & Founder of Scars 2 Strength.

She is referred to as the Queen of Resilience and talks with Dawn about her own journey and how she now works to help others develop the mindset tools that mean they can move from surviving to thriving

If you want to be able to help others you have to help yourself first and Scarlett explains how you can change your programming and change your life

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• I covered up my own self, I struggled with my confidence and didn’t think I was worthy of certain things even though from the outside I appeared really confident and altogether
• When you are carrying limiting beliefs around they become a filter for everything
• Every behaviour has some sort of benefit for the person who is acting it out, even if they aren’t aware of it
• When you start peeling back the layers we are all wonderfully imperfect perfect human beings underneath
• It’s our experiences that shape us as human beings and wherever you are right now you can be better and do more
• The mental health crisis across the world, generational trauma  and people never unlocking their full potential is  because we’ve never been taught how our brains and the programming works
• If any other human being has managed it so can you, it’s never too late if it’s something you really want

BEST MOMENTS 

‘People are way more capable than they think they are’

‘I was running at 100 miles an hour  continuously in survival mode’

‘Everything you want to achieve in life you can achieve with so much more ease, less stress and effort if you understand how the programming in your brain works’
