  2. How to Overcome Stress and Find Fulfillment: The Power of Emotional Brain Training with Dr. Laurel Mellin

    How to Overcome Stress and Find Fulfillment: The Power of Emotional Brain Training with Dr. Laurel Mellin

    Dr. Laurel Mellin is a health psychologist who founded and developed emotional brain training (EBT). She is an associate clinical professor of family and community medicine and pediatrics at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. Mellin has authored papers on the science and efficacy of EBT and is a New York Times bestselling author of four books on the method.  Stress and trauma—especially from early childhood—can create survival circuits in the brain, which drive coping mechanisms such as overworking, emotional withdrawal, and unhealthy habits like overeating or excessive perfectionism. Most people, particularly those in their 40s and 50s, often feel emotionally drained and disconnected because of stress. Dr. Laurel describes five levels of stress in the brain, from a calm, connected state (Level 1) to a stressed-out state (Level 5), where the emotional brain takes over. EBT helps shift individuals from a higher stress level to a more positive, calm state, where they can make better decisions. The emotional brain influences decision-making and relationships, and simply relying on logic and hard work isn't enough to address deep emotional needs. Emotional well-being requires addressing the emotional circuits that control our reactions and behaviors. The goal of EBT is to teach individuals how to rewire these circuits for better emotional regulation, so they can improve their mental health, have stronger relationships, and overall life satisfaction. EBT, as Dr Mellin says, helps in weight reducing and her idea with integrative approach—featuring small groups, app support, and telephone coaching—sets it apart from traditional psychotherapy.

    The Power of Self-Care for Entrepreneurs: Practical Tips to Recharge, Reset, and Prevent Burnout with Dr. Nekeshia Hammond

    Burnout is preventable. It's within our control to take action and prioritize self-care. Dr. Nekeshia Hammond is a leadership development coach, mental wellness expert, and keynote motivational speaker who helps high performers navigate burnout, exhaustion, and resiliency. In this episode, she dives deep into the importance of self-care for maintaining mental, physical, and emotional well-being. It is important to recognize burnout and find personal ways to reset, it with the help of support. Jen and Dr. Nakeshia challenge the outdated "go, go, go" mentality and encourage us to embrace a more balanced approach to life, where self-care is not just an option, but a priority. Dr. Nekeshia explains that the ‘baby steps approach’ is the only way to get lasting results. Women must overcome any guilt tied to self-care. If you’re feeling burned out and overwhelmed, taking small, but intentional steps each day will lead to lasting change and help you rediscover your balance and well-being. All of which is crucial for business owners.  🔥 Dr. Nekeshia teaches burnout prevention to many different organizations. 3:57👣 Taking baby steps - 60 seconds a day: do what is sustainable so that action becomes a habit over time. 8:46🧠 With baby steps you're creating a habit: your mind and body will start to crave that time. 10:59🥰 A commitment to self-care can positively impact not just you, but the people around you.13:363️ The three questions that will help you improve your life. 15:46🥇 Do what you can at the time: it's about celebrating the small wins. 18:24🔋 Your physical and mental health needs to find a reset, a recharge. 23:13🎯 You don't have to do this alone: it's ok to get the help of a mental health professional or a coach. 26:03🌺 Importance of zo Links: Website: www.drnekeshiahammond.com Connect: www.linkedin.com/in/drnekeshiahammondConnect with Jennifer: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com Retreats: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com/our-retreat Join our Academy: www.jenniferdawnacademy.com

    Mastering Self-Care: The Key to Entrepreneurial Success and Sustainable Health With Ellen Goldman

    Businesses suffer when their owners do not prioritize their health. Ellen Goldman, M.Ed., NBC-HWC, PCC, is a wellness coach, healthy lifestyle and weight loss coach, speaker, and author. She is passionate about serving others and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals. Ellen explains that the real challenge lies in behavior change. Many people attempt to overhaul their lifestyles, but this approach often leads to burnout and failure. The key is mindset and motivation, which serve as the foundation for lasting change. Ellen introduces her MAP framework—Mindset, Awareness, and Preparation—as the blueprint for sustainable health habits. The first step is shifting your mindset from "I don't have time for self-care" to "I make time for self-care." Ellen also explains success in weight loss differently. It is a result of correcting overall lifestyle imbalances—such as stress, sleep, and exercise—rather than simply restricting food intake. Start with small, manageable changes and embrace a mindset of long-term health; this will lead to both personal fulfillment and business success. Show notes: 🤓 Ellen always knew she would end up working in health and wellness. 02:18 ⚖️ Her mom's challenges with weight and how they affected her. 03:49 👩‍💼 Every business owner is the CEO - the Chief Everything Officer. 08:17 🧠 You have to start with a mindset: the first thing that has to change is your approach. 11:35 ⚠️ You can have the best time management, but if you do not have the energy to execute, nothing will change. 13:51 🎯 Your motivator which will become the nonnegotiable, has to be connected with your values. 16:07 🕵️‍♀️ The awareness comes from watching your habits. 18:52 😇 Using your strengths to solve problems: what works for me may not work for everybody. 23:39 🌟 Create a business that fits into the lifestyle you want, so you can have more freedom. 26:48 🌸 Ellen's course is geared around weight loss: weight gain is the result of a lifestyle that's out of whack. 29:50 Links:Website: www.EllenGCoaching.com     Course:  https://www.ellengcoaching.com/migclass/ Coupon Code for $125 off — HAPPYPRODUCTIVE Book: https://a.co/d/0iCtCird Connect with Jennifer: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com Retreats: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com/our-retreat Join our Academy: www.jenniferdawnacademy.com

    Where Your Time is Going: How to Prioritize, Simplify, and Succeed in Business with Drewbie Wilson

    Achieving success in any area—health, career, or relationships—requires consistent, intentional actions over time. Drewbie Wilson is the CEO of Call the Damn Leads, a bestselling author, podcaster, consultant and mentor. He inspires leaders to become the most elite version of themselves. Drewbie shares his transformation story from weighing over 300 pounds to losing 100 pounds—not just once, but twice. "The truth will set you free, even if it hurts sometimes," explaining how tough love from his wife and friend helped him change his unhealthy habits. He found the inspiration for this drastic change in entrepreneurial communities and motivational resources. He also developed the "Four Sixes Strategy"—a concept for balanced success that divides each day’s 24 hours into four parts: six hours for sleep, six for family or relationships, six for business, and six for self-care. Since time is the one resource you can't buy more of, Drewbie shares insights on how we lose available time, how to audit your schedule to grow your business effectively, and tips on making each business day more impactful. You can live whatever life you want if you're willing to do the work and make it sustainable. Notes:🤓 Success is a perspective: Drewbie helps people figure out their version of a successful life. 2:52💪 How Drewbie lost 100 pounds  - twice! 4:15🎯 If it's not getting you the desired result, it's okay to stop and reassess where you are on your journey. 6:16😍 How you receive it, is the difference between feedback and criticism. 9:384️⃣ x 6️⃣ The four sixes: sleep, family, business, and ourselves. 13:48🤔 Time management: what's holding us back because we've prioritized the wrong things. 17:25⏰ If you want to understand priorities and time management - do a time study, and do an audit. 19:10🥅 Methods are many, principles are few; methods may vary, but principles never do. 24:03😇 When you fire a bad client, two more good ones always find their way. 29:28   Links: Website: www.drewbiewilson.com Books: www.callthedamnleads.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorjEN6oM65MshahinNyHNek7LEjZToFgXe4HqVapgX2EQeBhaOx Connect with Jennifer: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com Retreats: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com/our-retreat Join our Academy: www.jenniferdawnacademy.com

    Growth, Leadership, and Alignment in Business with Beate Chelette

    If you don’t have a way to receive honest feedback, you’re missing out on the opportunity to become the leader you could be. Beate Cheleete is a podcast host, facilitator, author, business and growth strategist, and founder of "The Woman’s Code." She offers practical strategies, blueprints, and tools to enhance women’s leadership skills and amplify their impact. Beate simplifies complex processes into repeatable steps, helping women turn their talents into thriving businesses and seize career opportunities. Beate shares her story, starting as a photographer in Germany and eventually selling her business for millions to Bill Gates. Now, she helps business owners develop systems and strategies to grow and scale their businesses. She explains what the Five-Star Success Blueprint is, why simplicity and clarity in business offers matter, and why business owners should adjust pricing, refine branding, and be flexible based on current market conditions. All successful business owners often have a spiritual practice, which aligns with having a strong value system focused on service rather than material gains. Aligning spirituality with strategy always leads to strategic success. The strategy for each is to avoid hiring until you automate—setting up your processes, documents, and the entire system to ensure the work remains relevant and impactful. Leadership is about showing up in the right way and letting others’ evaluations guide you. Show notes: 📸 Beate is a growth specialist with a background in creative arts and photography. 01:43 🤯 In a conflicted mindset, there is a double-binding message: a screaming match in your head. 03:50 🎯 Every business owner needs a system to check if their actions are still relevant. 06:49 😇We can choose to know and stay open to receive the information: "If you did know, what would it be?" 10:56 📊 The data tells the story when the branding is misaligned. 15:08 🪬 Successful people always have a spiritual practice: it's the mindset, connectedness to energy, and to each other. 18:47 💻 The best way to build systems, automation and processes is through project management software. 24:50 👩🏻‍💼 Do not attempt a mini-me cloning! "I'm really good at so many things, I just need people who are like me." 27:26 ⚠️ Who do I want to be as a leader? How you show up is measured by how others evaluate that. 30:44 🤓 Leading by example is true leadership. 32:24   Links:Site: www.thewomenscode.com Personal: www.beatechelette.com Connect: www.linkedin.com/in/beatechelette  Connect with Jennifer: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com Retreats: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com/our-retreat Join our Academy: www.jenniferdawnacademy.com

    Nourishing Both Your Body and Business: Transforming Your Relationship with Food and Body Image with Marla Mervis-Hartmann

    It's not about fixing emotional eating—it's about loving yourself through it. Marla Mervis Hartmann, is a coach, TedX speaker and creator of Love Your Body, Love Yourself. She shares her personal journey of struggling with restrictive dieting, over-exercising, and body dissatisfaction despite having a healthy physique. Women face societal pressures and diet culture that often lead to a cycle of criticism and control, particularly as the body changes through different life stages like menopause. Marla says that all women should practice self-compassion and avoid being overly critical of our bodies. Healing involves slowing down, tuning into what the body truly needs, and addressing underlying fears of acceptance and authenticity. It is very important how we speak to ourselves, what we push into ourselves emotionally because that will reflect on the eating habits.  Personal stories in this episode are heart-touching and "Death by chocolate," captures the emotional complexities tied to food. Marla shared tips for cultivating self-love and body acceptance. We are all in different shapes and sizes, but what matters is the peace and love you give to yourself.  Show Notes:🍇 Marla struggled with a lot of restricting dieting: she was orthorexic, and her food had to look absolutely perfect. 2:59⚠️ For a lot of people, accepting your body feels like giving up, but acceptance means changing the whole game. 5:42🤯 Diet culture pushes the narrative that something is wrong with us if we have extra fat. 11:06🪞 We want to be in control of our bodies in a way that is loving: mirror fasting. 13:19😇 It's powerful that we can love our bodies as they are: it's not okay to normalize being mean to ourselves. 19:10👵 How Jennifer's grandma dealt with food. 22:32🍫 Food helps us deal with our emotions, but it shouldn't be the only thing. 25:57🍨 We want to change the pattern of jumping over the emotions to get to the food: the reasons we do it. 29:59⚡ With her clients, Marla would slow down and find the root of the punishment. 34:37 Links: Website: www.loveyourbodyloveyourself.com/ Free Course: www.goloveyourbodyloveyourself.com/emotionaleating Connect with Jennifer: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com Retreats: www.jenniferdawncoaching.com/our-retreat Join our Academy: www.jenniferdawnacademy.com
