The Process with Brooke Dawson

  • SELF-IMPROVEMENT

You know you're capable of more. You can feel it. But somewhere between the fear of getting it wrong and the story that you're not ready yet, you've stayed exactly where you are. This podcast is for the woman who is done waiting but doesn't quite know how to start. The one who doesn't realise yet that her language is keeping her stuck, that her limiting beliefs are running the show, that the version of herself she's been waiting to become is already in there. I'm Brooke. I'm a coach, a mum, and someone who lost years of her life waiting until she was "ready." This podcast is me practicing what I preach. Showing up before I feel ready, getting it wrong, figuring it out in real time, and documenting all of it as I go. ---------- When you're ready, I'm here to help you trust yourself.

You will forget things, fall short, say the wrong thing. That part is guaranteed. What isn't guaranteed is whether you'll be able to get back up and try again. In this episode I talk about why self-compassion is what determines whether you follow through or give up. I get into how starting a business taught me this in a way nothing else ever did, and why the standard we hold ourselves to would horrify us if we applied it to anyone else we loved. And why if you can't be compassionate with yourself, you probably can't be honest with yourself either.

The scary part is that most of the time you won't even notice. In this episode I share two moments from my own life that reminded me just how much our environment is shaping our beliefs, whether we realise it or not. One goes all the way back to childhood. The other happened last week. We are wired to mirror what we're surrounded by. Which means being intentional about your environment, who you spend time with, what you listen to, what you let into your space, isn't a nice to have. It's everything.

But what if it's actually making you less effective? In this episode I talk about why rest isn't the opposite of learning. It's actually half of it. Your brain needs downtime to consolidate whatever you just took in, and if you never give it that, you're not actually learning. You're just memorising, and then wondering why nothing sticks. I talk about the guilt that comes with switching off, that constant loop of "I should be doing something", even when you're supposed to be resting. And why that cycle is making you less effective, not more. Plus, you'll learn a simple technique you can implement right away - especially if you're someone who feels like they never come up for air.

And slowly grinding himself into the ground. In this episode, Mitch and I talk about what it looks like to wake up and realise the version of success you've been chasing was never really yours. We get into the moment he looked at his health, his kids, his dad's patterns and decided something had to change. We talk about reframing failure and the idea that every bad investment, every wrong hire, every decision that didn't work out is still a brick on the bridge. You don't know which brick is going to get you to the other side. You just keep laying them. Because every time you build a new skill or have a new experience, those are bricks you get to add to the bridge too. And we talk about time. How having kids cracks something open in you and suddenly you feel exactly how fast it moves... and that you can never get it back. The importance of going after the things you said you always wanted to do, because otherwise time will pass and one day you'll look back and realise it never happened. And that realisation, as uncomfortable as it is, is what finally gets you moving (if you're willing to listen to it).

I'd had a rough few nights with my daughter, I was running on empty, and I genuinely did not feel like showing up. But that's exactly what this episode is about: the pressure we put on ourselves to be on all the time. And what happens when we're not. Because for me it was never just "oh I'm tired today." It was a full spiral. I'm lazy, I'm failing, I'm never going to make it. And then I'm so in my head that I can't do the thing anyway. We are not robots. We're not meant to operate at the same level every single day. And honestly? If you are, you're probably not growing. Because growth needs fluctuation. Growth needs stillness. Some hard weeks where you show up anyway, even if it's not your best. I needed this reminder today. I hope it helps you too x

I also talk about what this has looked like for me this week, and what I've been doing to move through it instead of letting it pull me back to where I was before. If you've ever talked yourself out of something and genuinely believed it was the right call, this one's for you.

This one has had a powerful impact on my life. But I think it goes further than just the people around you. The podcasts you put on, the accounts you follow, the conversations you keep having. All of it is input. All of it is shaping something. I get into how I'm actively navigating this in my own life and why it takes a lot more conscious effort than people talk about.

If you want to see more of what I do, feel free to check out my👇 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heybrookedawson/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itsbrookedawson ------------- Nobody teaches you how to be in a relationship. You just show up, bring everything from your past, and figure it out as you go. Most of us stay stuck in the same patterns for years, not because we don't care, but because we never learned there was another way. In this episode, I speak with Brooklynn, a counselor who works with mums and families, about what it actually looks like to do the work on your relationship instead of just waiting for things to get bad enough to force a change. We get into emotionally focused therapy, why conflict feels so automatic, and what happens when you finally slow down long enough to hear what your partner is actually saying. We also talk about why so many couples treat therapy as a last resort when it works best as a practice, something you build into the relationship before you're ever in crisis. If you've ever felt like you and your partner keep having the same fight, or like you're coexisting instead of actually connecting, this one's for you. Brooklynn's practical takeaway at the end is something anyone can start tonight. If you're in central Alberta and looking for a counsellor, you can find Brooklynn at: -www.counsellingbybrooklynn.com - @counsellingbybrooklynn - or search her on Psychology Today.
