The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

 Hello everyone, and welcome back to The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast! I’m your host, Dr. Dawn, CEO and Founder of Dr. Dawn ShopTalk. Today we’re asking a big question: Are you speaking in a confident, powerful vocal register—or are subtle habits in your voice actually holding you back? 

In this episode, we’ll uncover: 

• Why the pitch of your voice can either signal confidence or undermine it,
• How some subtle vocal habits affect how others perceive your credibility, AND
• Three practical tips you can use right away to sound more confident, and professional.

Why Your Voice Matters — Tune in for the details, but here's the research in a nutshell: 1. Lower Pitch = Perceived Leadership & Competence: Scientific studies show that both men and women are more likely to select leaders with lower-pitched voices. 2. Vocal Fry Undermines Credibility: Have you heard of this before?   It’s probably something you may not even realize you’re doing: it’s that’s crackly sound your voice makes when you’re running out of air at the end of a sentence. 3. Uptalk May Signal Uncertainty: When statements end with rising pitch—called uptalk—they can come across as tentative or less confident. 4. Technology Biases Against Higher Pitches:  Historical design of broadcasting and telephony systems favored lower pitches, often distorting or deeming women’s naturally higher voices as “shrill.” 
  

3 Practical Tips to Speak with Power & Poise 1.  Anchor Your Pitch in the Mid-to-Low Register, 2.  Minimize Vocal Fry & Uptalk, 3. Practice Controlled Variation (Not Monotony).

Today I am tackling one of the most underrated secrets to a better workday: getting (and staying) organized! Whether your calendar is already color-coded or your desk is currently buried under three coffee mugs and a pile of sticky notes, this episode is for you!  Did you know that according to a study by The National Association of Professional Organizers, over 80% of people feel more productive in an organized workspace—yet most professionals lose nearly one hour a day to disorganization. That’s five hours a week people!  

Still need convincing?  Then let talk about Oprah - if you've been listening for a while then you know we believe everything Oprah on this podcast.  Did you know that she credits organization and routines as 2 of her secrets to success?  

Enough said!

Also consider the fact that we drop our episodes on Monday because we believe that if you Monday a great one, it can set the tone for the entire workweek.  So be sure to tune in to today's episode where I am going to give you even more info about how to stay organized, along with these 3 tips:

 1. Clear Space = Clear Mind
If your space is a wreck, it will affect your stress, your energy and your focus.  We will talk about ways to help you out of this mess! 

2. Make a “Must-Do” List—Not a “To-Do” List
I love a To-Do list and will even share what my customized list has on it, but for me and my coaching clients, we see these as "must-do's" and I'll explain why.

3. Time Block with Boundaries
Boundaries are important - when it comes to time, it includes buffering your time before and after tasks - a very powerful strategy to getting things done.

Remember that one small change you make today could lead to big results tomorrow.  For more support, check out these "must-do's" below:

Hello ShopTalkers, it’s Dr. Dawn, Today’s episode is going to be a little personal. I want to talk about a sneaky little emotion that can derail our success faster than we realize - I’m talking about guilt. Specifically, the kind of guilt that creeps in when things are actually going well. This may sound a little cray cray, but I know this one well—because I’ve been living it. 

Many of you know that I lost my mom not too long ago. My mom struggled with her weight for most of her life. 

And here’s where my guilt started to creep in. 

Before Mom passed, I had been open about my own health journey. When I turned 40, my weight started fluctuating like crazy. After checking my hormones and finding nothing to blame, I turned to intermittent fasting—and it worked. I lost 31 pounds. Now, I’m only 5’1” on a good day, so that kind of loss was huge. I went from a size 12 Petite to a size 4 Petite, sometimes even a size 2. I felt like myself again—confident, strong, and proud. 

But when Mom passed, I couldn’t help but feel this pang of guilt. Here I was, achieving something relatively easily that my mother struggled with for decades. I knew—in my head—that as my mom, she would want me to be healthy, to thrive, to avoid the battles she faced. But my heart didn’t want to hear it. I coped by self-sabotaging and gaining back some of the weight.  But because of my training, I knew that I could celebrate a big win here because I didn't gain all the weight back and then some - I instead gained about half, which I again am going to celebrate because it shows me that I have successfully broken that pattern.

Now, your guilt may not be the same as mine - maybe you feel guilty for making more money than your friends or loved ones. Maybe you feel guilty for getting a promotion when your friend got laid off, or guilty for taking a vacation when your team is swamped. Whatever form it takes, the good news is you can break free from it. Today, I'm sharing 3 concrete steps to stop letting guilt block your succes plus 1 bonus goal to really seal the deal!

Step 1: Set Bodacious and Fabulous Goals
Step 2: Create a Concrete, Bite-Sized Plan
Step 3: Find an Accountability Partner
Tune in to get all the details on these 3 steps PLUS your Bonus Goal!

And here's your Call to Action: I would love for you to be part of my accountability team of support. So here’s my challenge to you: If guilt has been holding you back, post below what you’re going to work on so we can take this journey together. I’ll be cheering for you, and I hope you’ll cheer for me, too.

Welcome back to The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast—I’m your host, Dr. Dawn, and today’s episode is extra special. Not only is it our 75th episode, but it also marks my return to the mic after a much-needed, intentional break. 

After a season of rest, reflection, and realignment, The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast is BACK—with a powerful new episode on one of the most underused career tools:
Knowing when—and how—to say NO. 

In this comeback episode, I’m sharing:
 ✔ Why I took a podcast break and prioritized paying clients over free content
 ✔ 3 simple scripts and strategies to protect your time
 ✔ A fresh new plan for how I’m showing up consistently (without burning out) 

If you’ve ever said yes when you really wanted to say no—this one’s for you. 

Ok you guys, so let me take you back to the beginning and share a personal story as to WHY I decided to take this break and HOW prioritization plays into all of this. It starts in Paris, France and ended in Cancun Mexico. 

That’s right, it started with 2 amazing family vacations I took this year.  Let’s start in Paris… (Provence and Paris)…now let’s move on to the sandy beaches of Cancún, Mexico. 

After ALL was said and done, when I got back, I had a calendar full of coaching clients and workshops. 

So, I took my own advice and focused on the parts of my business that generate revenue and impact the most people one-on-one. 

This show—and my YouTube channel—are ad-free, by choice. And while that means I’m not monetizing these platforms yet, it also means I have to be fiercely protective of my time. 

But friends—I missed this. I missed you. So I’m back, and going forward, I’ll be simplifying things with shorter, more intentional episodes that still deliver value without burning me—or you—out. Let’s dive in!

Today we’re talking about when it’s OK to say no—and how to do it without guilt. 

As career women, we’re often expected to do it all, be everywhere, and say yes to everything. But let me tell you something I had to learn the hard way: saying no is not selfish—it’s strategic. 

Here are three powerful tips to help you start protecting your time and energy like the queen you are: 

💡 Tip #1: Ask Yourself — “Is this a yes to my bigger vision?” 

Every time you say yes to something, you’re saying no to something else. So ask yourself:
 “Is this in alignment with where I want to go?”
This simple pause can save you from weeks of frustration or unnecessary obligation. 

💡 Tip #2: Use the “Soft No, Strong Boundary” Technique 

Here’s a script you can borrow:
 “Thanks so much for thinking of me, but I need to pass this time to stay focused on my priorities.”
That’s it. Kind. Clear. No need to explain further.
Boundaries build trust—with yourself and others. 

💡 Tip #3: Buffer your Time Between Meetings/Tasks 

If your calendar has no white space, it means you’re always reacting, not leading.
 Block off time for thinking, resting, or just being. You wouldn’t cancel a meeting with your boss—so don’t cancel the ones with yourself. 

There you have it folks!  We're back baby!  We are your place for content like this and much, much more.  Don't forget to check out the YouTube videos mentioned in Today's episode so that you can get extra support and also be sure to remember our motto..."if you're not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one!

Until next time! XO ~ Dr. Dawn

Our self-talk is the most potent drug you’ll ever take, and right now, you’re either using it to empower yourself, or tear yourself down.  When you tell yourself you can’t do something, your brain literally shuts down the production of the neurotransmitters that would make it possible. Negative self-talk programs your cells to malfunction, your genes to express disease patterns, and your neural networks to strengthen pathways of limitation. Your internal dialogue isn’t just mental chatter; it’s a biochemical control system advancing or reversing your evolution with every single word.

Most people live on autopilot, letting their inner voice repeat old programs. This voice isn’t harmless; it’s programming their future. Through intentional self-talk, you’re not just changing your mind—you’re rewiring your brain, reshaping your biology, and transforming your reality. 

Tune in to today's episode for all the specifics, but here are the 5 ways the top 1% of  executives use positive self-talk to drive their success:

1. Reframing Challenges as Opportunities; 2. Affirming Confidence and Capability; 3. Visualizing Success; 4. Neutralizing Negative Thoughts; 5. Focusing on Their "Why."

So, as we wrap up today’s episode, I challenge you to try this: Pick just one of these strategies and put it into practice this week. Whether it’s neutralizing a negative thought or visualizing your next big win. As the saying goes, 'Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.' So, let’s think like the top 1%, act like the top 1%, and step into that powerful version of ourselves.

Don't forget our motto here at ShopTalk that reminds us of how much power we have over our day and it goes like this:  if you’re not having a fantastic day, you have the power to make it one! Thanks for tuning in, and I’ll see you in the next episode where we’ll tackle even more ways to level up in your career.

Do you think you might end up interviewing for a new job or a new position this year?  Well, if so, let me tell you, after interviewing thousands of job candidates, there is ONE question that everyone THINKS they are answering correctly – and often times, they ARE NOT and the question I’m talking about is the “What is your Greatest Weakness” question.  In today’s episode I’m going to give you the insider-secret of what to say and what NOT to say, so come back and join me for Episode #71 where we’ll talk about it all right here on The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast!

So, why do interviewers ask about weaknesses?  For these reasons: 1.  Self-Awareness, 2.  Growth Mindset, 3.  Cultural Fit,  and 4.  Honesty and Authenticity.  And what are we looking for when we ask this question?  There are 3 main reasons: 1.  Balanced Self-Reflection, 2.  Relevance to the Role, and 3.  Problem-Solving Skills.

Now, here are my favorite 5 tips on how to answer this question: 1. Be Honest, But Selective, 2.  Show Awareness and Self-Reflection, 3.  Frame It Positively, 4.  Keep It Professional, 5.  End on a Positive Note.

Here's a Sample Answer from a Job Candidate - And Yes, I offered her the Job!

"I’d say my greatest weakness is that I can be overly detail-oriented. Early in my career, I would spend a lot of time trying to make everything perfect, which occasionally slowed me down. However, I’ve learned to balance my focus on quality with efficiency by prioritizing tasks and using tools like project management software to stay on track. This adjustment has allowed me to maintain high standards without getting bogged down in unnecessary details."

Hello, everyone! Welcome back to The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast.  Today’s episode is all about harnessing the power of affirmations to set the tone for a confident, balanced, and successful day. That’s right, we’re diving into how morning affirmations can help you Thrive in 2025—our theme for the year.

Morning affirmations are more than just words—they’re a mindset. Studies from productivity experts show that starting your day with positive intentions can increase focus, reduce stress, and boost overall productivity. Morning affirmations can be a powerful tool, but not everyone experiences the success they’re hoping for. Why is that?

To understand this, we need to explore the law of attraction and how it ties into affirmations. If you’ve struggled with affirmations in the past, start small and focus on affirmations that feel real and attainable. Combine them with visualizations, gratitude, and actionable steps to bring the law of attraction into full force.

As a Bonus, I'm sharing  5 powerful affirmations to get you started:

1.   I am in control of my time and energy. I choose to focus on what truly matters.
2.   I am capable of handling whatever comes my way today with grace and confidence.
3.   I deserve a fulfilling life that balances my work and personal happiness.
4.   I am focused, productive, and energized to accomplish my goals.
5.   I set healthy boundaries that protect my time, energy, and well-being.

These affirmations are just a sneak peek of what we’ll cover in our Stress Less, Achieve More Without Sacrificing Work-Life Balance Workshop on January 16th, from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM. If you’re in the Little Rock area, join us in person at the Aloft Hotel, with a free luncheon catered by Chicken Salad Chick. Not local? No problem—we’ve got a virtual option via Zoom so you can join from anywhere. If you can’t make it, visit our website and fill out a contact form to request a copy of these affirmations. We’re committed to helping you thrive in every way possible this year.
