The Process with Brooke Dawson

Brooke Dawson

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.

    Healing Forward: Reclaiming Your Identity After Trauma w/ Sherrian Oldrey | Ep 46

    Sherrian broke the cycle of domestic violence and got through every hurdle that came after. Then life went quiet, and that's when she felt her worst, because survival mode had finally caught up with her. In this episode I sit down with Sherrian Oldrey, a content creator who shares a moving-forward approach to healing with complex PTSD, because when she went looking for that online she could only find the symptoms, the causes, and a lot of content that kept her stuck. So she became the person she couldn't find. We talk about the turning point, walking out of a therapy appointment and realising no one was coming to save her, and going home to ride her bike instead of doom-scrolling on the lounge. She shares the questions she rebuilt herself with, and how asking them led her back to the parts of herself she'd lost. She shares the hack that changed how she handles her triggers, and we get into treating emotions as signals rather than threats, and meeting a flare-up with curiosity instead of panic. If you have experienced something hard that has become a big part of your identity, or you've been waiting for someone or something to come and fix it, this one is for you.

    The Art of Conscious Manifestation w/ Andy Hoffer | Ep 45

    In this episode, I sit down with Andy Hoffer, a manifestation coach who has been helping people consciously create the lives they desire since 2019. Her own journey with conscious manifestation began in first grade, when she realized she had manifested a broken leg, proof that we are always creating, whether we realize it or not. Andy believes we are manifesting 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To her, manifestation is not about forcing life to give you something. It is the art of getting out of your own way. While manifestation itself is natural, becoming a conscious manifestor requires the courage to look in the mirror, take ownership, and transform from the inside out. She has manifested everything from her family to money, from jobs to cars, and from homes to parking spots.  We get into what manifestation actually means to her and why it's less about forcing a specific outcome and more about getting clear on the feeling underneath what you want, then letting go of how it arrives. She shares the four tools she leans on, prayer, journaling, meditation and fasting, and the idea that your current life is already a manifestation of the beliefs you're holding, whether you chose them or not. And we get into why the life you want often asks you to let go of the one you worked hard to build.

    Courageous Action: The Skill of Starting Before You're Ready w/ Helen von Dadelszen | Ep 43

    Helen once watched a room full of brilliant researchers jeopardise potential funding opportunities, not because their work wasn't good enough, but because they couldn't communicate it effectively. That was the moment she realised how many smart people with important ideas are held back by the one skill nobody taught them. In this episode I sit down with Helen von Dadelszen, a communication coach who wrote a book called Courageous Action about doing the thing before you feel ready. We talk about why communication is a skill you build, not a personality you're born with, and the tiny practice she gives clients to tap back into their creativity. We get into why confidence built on technique alone only takes you so far, because people feel the gap between sounding confident and being it, and why the deeper work is the belief you hold about yourself underneath the skill. She also makes the case for expanding your comfort zone, celebrating the small wins even when it feels silly, and adding "yet" to the end of every "I can't." And near the end she set me a challenge on air that I ended up committing to publicly, so you'll have to listen out for that one. If there's something you keep saying you'll do once you feel ready, Helen's whole argument is that ready isn't coming… So what are you waiting for?

    Taming Your Ego and Trusting Your Intuition w/ Coco Dee | Ep 42

    Coco was a millionaire at 23. She lost everything at 32, and again a few years later. At 40 she's rebuilding for the third time, and this time she's doing it by ignoring the outside noise and listening to her gut. In this episode I sit down with Coco Dee, who moved to Australia from French Polynesia at nine, ticked every box she was supposed to, and still felt boxed in by a life that looked “perfect” from the outside. She's built and lost businesses worth tens of millions, and the thing she credits the rebuild to isn't strategy. It's intuition, the one tool she says is free, that every woman has and almost none of us are taught to use. We talk about why she kept hitting the same ceiling and losing it all rather than pushing past it, and the day she woke up and decided she couldn't keep recreating that pattern for the rest of her life. We get into taming the ego so it stops running the show, why you own 50% of every situation you're in whether you want to or not, and how the way you do everything else is the way you do money. If you keep waiting for a big dramatic moment before you're allowed to change, Coco's whole point is that you don't need one.

    Building a Business You're Proud Of: Why Success Starts With You w/ Vanessa Bamford | Ep 41

    In this episode I sit down with Vanessa Bamford, a business and finance strategist with 20+ years experience. She's the founder of Business like a Girl, a coaching and mentoring program aimed at helping women do business differently, and Vision Beyond Advisory, an accounting and advising practice  for growth focused business owners.  We talk about what it means to do business like a woman rather than fit yourself into a model made by someone else. Why women put themselves at the very bottom of the list, what it costs everyone around them when they do, and why the work you do on yourself is the one investment you never regret. We get into redefining success on your own terms rather than by growth and hustle and the boxes you're supposed to tick, how she rebuilt her relationship with money by treating it like a relationship instead of a number, and why purpose has to come before profit, not the other way around. Vanessa is proof that you can completely change how you show up, to the point that the people around you feel it. This one is for any woman who has a business, or wants one, and can feel there's a different way to do it than the one she's been shown.

    Trusting Yourself, Setting Boundaries, and Why Confidence is a Skill w/ Shreya Rajeevan | Ep 40

    Shreya spent most of her life letting other people decide who she was. If someone told her she was capable, she was capable. If someone told her she wasn't doing a good job, she believed that instead. In this episode I sit down with my friend and client, a speech pathologist who helps children and adults communicate for a living, and who has spent the last couple of years learning how to use her voice. We talk about why surviving something is not the same as trusting yourself, what it inadvertently costs you to grow up feeling safe and protected by the people around you, and why she stayed in a situation that was making her sick long after her body started telling her to leave. We also get into the practical side of building confidence, the phrases she writes down before walking into a meeting, why she's cutting the word sorry out of her vocabulary, and what it means to look at a hard week like a scientist instead of a judge.  We think confidence is a feeling that will come if you wait long enough. But in reality, confidence is a skill you build by acting your way into being. Shreya is proving this to herself, one action at a time.

    Safety Mode vs Success Mode, Money Stories, and Buying Back Your Time w/ Terry Condon | Ep 39

    Four years ago I stumbled onto a finance podcast that became the catalyst for everything I’ve changed about the way I think about money.  In this episode I sit down with Terry Condon, founder of The Cash Flow Co and host of the Money Minded podcast. With 10 years of experience in elite sport, Terry took his deep understanding of human behaviour and goal setting and applied it to a completely different industry: personal finance.  We talk about giving yourself permission to get it wrong, and why he thinks the fastest way to reach a goal is to speed up how often you fail. He explains why your brain will keep you repeating a life you don't want, because a predictable future has to look like the past, and what it takes to interrupt that. We get into why so many of us treat things like communication or money as traits instead of skills, the four things people unconsciously believe money is for, and why he says time is the scarce resource while money is abundant. He also talks about defining “wealth”, “rich” and “success” for yourself, and what happens if you don’t.  Connect with Terry Condon:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-condon-cashflowco/  Listen to Money Minded Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4fh8xSyibogGPOgwswvIUa?si=a8e00b26509641a4 ------------- When you’re ready, I’m here to help you trust yourself.
