Women supporting women isn’t a hashtag — it’s a behavior.
And sometimes, real support requires interruption, not encouragement.

In this powerful and deeply personal solo episode, Dawnette Palmore expands on Episode 185 and addresses a hard but necessary truth: silence protects harmful behavior, not the person being harmed. From boardrooms to organizations to everyday leadership spaces, staying quiet has consequences — and this episode calls us to do better.

Dawnette shares real-life experiences, painful lessons, and practical examples of what it actually looks like to stand up for women in real time, even when it’s uncomfortable, risky, or costly.

This is a conversation about integrity, courage, leadership, and the responsibility we carry when we witness unfair treatment and choose whether to speak up — or stay silent.

• Why silence is never neutral — and who it truly protects

• The hidden cost of being a bystander in leadership and business spaces

• Why women are often labeled “difficult” or “aggressive” for speaking up

• How real support goes beyond encouragement into action

• The difference between public interruption and private correction

• Practical ways to advocate without yelling, attacking, or burning bridges

• How one courageous voice can shift an entire room

• Why integrity means doing what’s right — even when no one applauds

If you want better leadership, better culture, and better rooms — we must be willing to interrupt what doesn’t belong.

Because if you see harm and say nothing, silence becomes participation.

• When was the last time you witnessed something that didn’t sit right?

• What stopped you from speaking up in that moment?

• Where have you chosen comfort over courage?

• What would choosing integrity look like next time?

What does real women supporting women actually look like—beyond hashtags, branding, and performative praise?

In this powerful episode of Your Business On Purpose, host Dawnette Palmore, financial coach, fractional CFO, and advocate for values-based leadership, confronts the hard truth many women in business experience but rarely say out loud: support often disappears when it costs something.

This episode dives deep into:

• Why “women supporting women” has become performative instead of practiced

• How silence, gossip, and competition undermine women-led businesses

• The difference between public hype and private integrity

• What real support looks like when no one is watching

• Why choosing integrity over popularity changes culture and leadership

• How women can rebuild trust, respect, and collaboration in business

Through real stories and honest reflection, Dawnette challenges entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners to examine where they’ve shown genuine support, where they’ve stayed silent to stay safe, and how they can do better moving forward.

This conversation is for women who lead with integrity, believe in collaboration over competition, and want to build businesses—and communities—on purpose.

In this episode of Your Business On Purpose, we’re kicking off a powerful year-end series with a truth every entrepreneur needs to hear:

👉 Avoidance is expensive. Clarity is profitable.

Most business owners don’t avoid their finances because they’re irresponsible.
They avoid them because they’re overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or afraid of what they’ll find.
But that avoidance comes with real costs—missed tax opportunities, overpaying the IRS, money leaks, emotional decision-making, and even gaps in your insurance coverage.

Today, I’m breaking down why financial avoidance keeps happening, what it’s really costing your business, and how to stop running on incomplete numbers so you can finish the year—and start the next—with confidence instead of chaos.

🔥 In This Episode, We Cover:• Why avoidance is not a character flaw — it’s an overwhelm response• How messy or outdated books silently drain your profit• Why clear numbers create clarity, confidence, and better decisions• What your numbers are actually telling you• How your books impact your insurance coverage• The non-negotiable year-end cleanup steps every business needsYou’re not the problem; the lack of structure and clarity is.

From missed deductions to emotional spending to decisions made with half the picture.

You can’t plan, protect, or grow a business using guesswork.

Patterns, pricing gaps, leaks, liabilities, opportunities… all hiding in plain sight.

Over insured or underinsured—both are costly, both are avoidable.

What to update, what to review, and what to pull BEFORE December 31.

💡 Key Insight:Your books are not just spreadsheets — they’re your financial story, your protection blueprint, and your opportunity map.
You deserve to make decisions from confidence, not fear.

Technology is evolving faster than most business owners can keep up with. Between constant software updates, rising subscription costs, data vulnerabilities, and the rapid growth of AI, it’s becoming harder to know what’s truly safe, what’s necessary, and what could put your business at risk.

In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, Dawnette sits down with Roxane Ramos to break down the real challenges entrepreneurs are facing in today’s tech-driven world. From system failures to documentation gaps to platform dependency, they explore the issues most business owners feel overwhelmed by — and discuss what you can start doing now to protect your operations, your data, and the people you serve.

A woman-owned and veteran-owned professional services company specializing in:

• Business process improvement

• Technical consulting

• Data analysis & documentation

• Software implementation

• Learning management systems

• Operational support

With 25+ years of experience in coding, automation, systems testing, project management, and Six Sigma training, Roxane is known for bridging the gap between business needs and technical execution. She helps businesses strengthen operations, streamline systems, and stay secure in a rapidly changing digital world.

Key Talking Points:

• Technology is shifting faster than businesses can adapt — and without preparation, even small system issues can disrupt operations and customer experience.

• Data security must be a priority because software updates, bugs, and poorly tested tools can unintentionally expose sensitive client information.

• Redundancy and documentation are essential so your business isn’t dependent on one person or one platform to function.

• Terms and conditions matter — many people unknowingly give software providers access to far more data than intended.

• Smart system planning helps you pivot if prices rise, platforms change, or tools fail unexpectedly.

• There is opportunity in the chaos for businesses willing to stay informed, adapt their systems, and prioritize customer protection.
