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.For MORE weekly tips, follow us @drdawnshoptalk - we're on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram!NEW HERE?

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."Stay Connected: Follow us on our Socials!

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.

If you've ever felt the sting of setting New Year's resolutions that seem to vanish by February, this episode is PERFECT for you.  And since we're airing the day before New Year's, we've got JUST enough time to break down why so many resolutions fail, uncover practical solutions to keep you on track, and help you embrace 2025 with the confidence and clarity you deserve. Our theme for this year is to Thrive in 2025 and today's episode is going to help us do JUST that! Did you know that according to the research, 80% of New Year's resolutions fail by the second week of February? And here are 3 key reasons for this:1) Setting Vague or Unrealistic Goals, 2) Overwhelming Yourself, and 3) Failing to Build a Supportive System. Instead of resolutions, embrace a more dynamic and effective method: goal setting based on habits and systems. Think about what you can do daily or weekly to align with your larger vision. I've got some great episodes that I will link here about New Year's Resolutions one of which is an interview with my daughter when she was stationed in Japan with the Air Force. With that said, let's get to some tips that can help you CRUSH your goals in 2025: (Tune in to today' episode to get ALL the specifics!). Tip 1: Set clear, specific, and measurable goals. Tip 2: Focus on habits, not outcomes. Tip 3: Create a vision board or journal. Tip 4: Celebrate small wins. Tip 5: Find an accountability partner. Upcoming Events: January 6th, marks the beginning of our New Year/New You 5-Day Challenge AND our interview with Dominique Sachse will be airing on that day as well.  You can head to our website at www.drdawnshoptalk.com to find out more AND don't forget that you can also register there for our next workshop called Stress Less/Achieve More without Sacrificing Work/Life Balance. NEW HERE?

Today we're diving into a topic that's as exciting as it is nerve-wracking: How to Be Confident in Interviews. Whether you're gearing up for your dream job, prepping for a career pivot, or even pitching your own business idea, confidence is your secret weapon. Now, before you think, "But Dr. Dawn, I'm not naturally confident," let me remind you of this truth: confidence is a skill, not some trait you're always born with. Even the shyest person can develop it, and that's exactly what we're going to do in today's episode. So, come back and join me for Episode 67 where we'll talk about it all RIGHT HERE on The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast!FIRST, let's start with a statistic that will help explain WHY confidence matters:  Did you know, according to a study by LinkedIn, 83% of hiring managers say that confidence is a key factor in making a great first impression. But here's the twist: confidence isn't about being the loudest or most outgoing person in the room. In fact, some of the best entrepreneurs and leaders are self-professed introverts who learned to channel their strengths.For those of you who watch Shark Tank, you will know my next example -  Barbara Corcoran.  For example, before becoming a real estate mogul and a Shark Tank star, she pitched her first business idea with shaky hands and a racing heart. Her secret? Preparation and practice - those are two of the steps we're going to talk about right now!1. Prepare Like a Pro2. Practice Out Loud3. Dress the Part4. Embrace Your Strengths5. Use the Power Pose6. Focus on Connection7. Handle Nervousness Like a Pro8.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have a question for you:  do the holidays make you feel more frazzled than festive?  Well, then you're in the right place. Today, I'm breaking down 5 easy ways to keep stress in check over the holidays so you can actually enjoy the season for what it's meant to be: a time of joy, connection, and maybe just a little bit of Holiday magic.  But before we jump in, let's talk about why this matters:  Ladies, we already wear a hundred hats every day: leader, colleague, mom, partner, friend, and more.

It's the reason that when you walk past a Swirl boutique location, it is packed with women socializing, shopping, and posting. It's the reason influencers, reality TV stars, and celebrities show up far and wide when Lisa hosts an event or has a launch (like her exclusive collaboration with L*SPACE). When it comes to the Swirl community, the women of Southern California feel Lisa's heart, her craft, and her underlying mission of supporting women.Topics discussed:Insights on influencer marketing from a brand owner and what she is looking for in order to work with an influencer on gifting and paid collaborationsImportant foundations when building a brand or businessHow to impress your boss as an employee and stand-out for better opportunities to get promotedWhy you need to have your own "full life" with or without a partnerRealizations Lisa had after having two kids and what she would do differently + tell other women who are passionate about having their own career, but also want to have a familyThe difference between insecure and confident menMaking men "work" for you and being a little unavailableEnjoy 10% off your entire purchase of any podcast merchandise with code "WHATFULFILLSYOU10" at www.whatfulfillsyou.comFollow Dialogue NY on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dialoguenycFollow Julianne Fraser on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliannefraserFollow the What Fulfills You?

Hello, lovely listeners: I'm here to tell you something that may surprise you: You don't have to work for a difficult boss. Yes, you heard that right! If you're feeling trapped with a boss who's critical, and unapproachable you DON'T have to settle. And HERE'S why it matters: continuing to work in such an environment COULD HAVE serious consequences to your health.  So come back and join me for Episode 62 where we'll get into it ALL, right here, on The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast!  As I mentioned, working for a difficult boss can ACTUALLY be dangerous for your health.  Studies show that employees with bosses who show little empathy—and with whom they lack a real connection—are 2.4 times more likely to experience an illness.  So, let's give you the same advice I would give one of my clients – with the right strategies, you can start taking charge of the situation today: 1.  Set Clear Boundaries: Setting limits—whether around work hours, communication, or tasks—doesn't have to be confrontational.  2.  Find Allies and Build Support:  Having allies to share insights and vent frustrations with can go a long way in helping you feel less isolated and more resilient  3.  Invest in Yourself: Instead of focusing on what your boss is doing wrong, channel that energy into your own professional growth.  and 4. Consider Your Options:  If you've tried all the strategies and nothing improves, start exploring other roles or opportunities that align with your values.  Just remember, I am here for you if you ever want to talk about this – one of the things I do love about my business is that I get to coach people one on one and so if that sounds like something that would be a great fit for you be sure to check out our coaching options on our website.And don't forget, I share even more weekly tips on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn so be sure to follow us on our socials @drdawnshoptalk.

Speaking in front of an audience can be intimidating. But if you know the right tricks, you'll be a step ahead of the game. Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on 3 specific strategies that I've used for YEARS that can instantly boost your speaking game. Today's episode is all about professional speaking, and I am so excited to reveal a few of the “secret” skills that those of us in the public speaking world use to captivate our audiences.Strategy #1. The Pause of Power: Ever notice how the best speakers seem to effortlessly command attention without rushing through their words? Here's their secret—they use strategic pauses.  This trick makes your audience lean in, pay attention, and hang onto your every word. The magic happens because the silence gives your key points extra weight, allowing what you just said to sink in. Strategy #2. The Invisible Connection: Another secret most professional speakers don't talk about is the invisible connection they create with their audience, making you feel like they're talking directly to you, even in a room filled with hundreds of people. Strategy #3. The Power of the Unexpected: Professional speakers love to surprise their audiences—but they don't want you to know how intentional this is! Using an unexpected fact, story, or even a joke in your speech helps to shake things up and keep the audience alert. For more details, tune in to today's episode! Catch you next time, and don't forget to hit that subscribe button so you don't miss any future episode AND for more tips and strategies, check out our socials @drdawnshoptalk on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.NEW HERE?

Did you know that the words you choose and how you communicate them could be sending the wrong message? In the business world, language reflects not only our thoughts but also how others perceive us. Even in 2024, career women continue to use passive words and phrases more frequently than men, which can weaken their professional presence, and I want to make sure that your language matches the powerful career professional you are meant to be!Welcome everyone to Episode 57 of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook! I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, CEO/Founder of Dr. Dawn ShopTalk. As a Business Consultant and Coach, I'm here to help you build your brand, upskill your career, and live with more passion and purpose. If that resonates with you, hit that subscribe button, rate, review, and share! Visit drdawnshoptalk.com for free resources designed just for you.Let's Dive In:Men and women often differ in communication styles, and research shows women tend to use passive language more frequently. Words and phrases like “I think,” “maybe,” and “just” can make you seem unsure of yourself, affecting your authority and credibility. Women also soften their tone or inflection at the end of sentences, turning statements into questions. This habit can suggest you're seeking validation rather than making a decisive point.While asking questions is important—especially to avoid burnout—the issue arises when this becomes the norm rather than the exception, especially in leadership roles. So, how can we ensure our language reflects professional power and confidence? Tune in to today's episode to learn how these 5 simple strategies can start making changes today:1.  Eliminate Weak Language.2.  Use Action-Oriented Verbs.3.  Practice Your Inflection.4.  Be Direct and Concise.5.  Own Your Opinions.Bonus Tip: Record yourself during meetings or presentations to assess how you come across. This helps you track progress and stay consistent with your communication goals.Wrap Up: As we wrap up, remember that how you communicate is key to being seen as the strong, capable professional you truly are. And as always, I'll leave you with our company motto: “If you're not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one!”Thanks for listening!

The Hidden Ways Clutter Impacts You:At Home: Clutter in your living space can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and a sense of overwhelm. At Work: A cluttered workspace negatively affects productivity.

Welcome listeners to Episode 51 of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast!  I'm your host Dr. Dawn and in today's episode I am going to show you how to  know your value and confidently asking for your next job or promotion. You're going to get the insider-secrets of what I say to my coaching clients to help them understand that betting on themselves  is never wrong!Understanding Gender Differences in Career Advancement:o    Men often see their value more confidently and are more likely to self-promote.o    Women, on the other hand, tend to underestimate their capabilities and may hesitate to ask for opportunities unless they meet all the qualifications.Statistics That Highlight the Gender Gap:o    Men apply for a job when they meet only 60% of the qualifications, while women apply only if they meet 100% (Hewlett Packard study).o    Women are less likely to negotiate their salaries compared to men, contributing to the persistent gender wage gap.o    Women hold just 25% of executive roles in Fortune 500 companies, highlighting the need for greater self-advocacy and support.How do you put this all together?  Here are 5 ways that you can know your value and ask for the job: 1) Self-Assessment, 2) Seek feedback, 3) Market research, 4) Networking and 5) Assertiveness.Best Practices for Advocating for Yourself:o    Prepare thoroughly by gathering evidence of your achievements and contributions.o    Focus on the impact of your work, using quantifiable results whenever possible.For more fun facts and take aways, tune in to today's episode!NEW HERE?  DO THESE 2 THINGS FIRST!1.  Check out the Videos mentioned in Today's episode:a.  Upskilling Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm6ro9LlUMA&list=PLdguFjdYMwqX3gnuMSrLgaN7hXBSWhqmOb.  What's Holding You Back Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg5oof2vv7Q&list=PLdguFjdYMwqUaLR6jMeDUgP0cntaIJJ-Yc.   Building your Brand Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRK7Ep29SkQ&list=PLdguFjdYMwqVLPsFZjl-Do8eH7leltW8Od.  Passion & Purpose Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1m26YG12L8&list=PLdguFjdYMwqXQM8PrQlBP-AxrPX-bV2q8 2.  Get your copy of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook!a.  Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Career-Womans-Secret-Playbookb.  Barnes & Noble:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-career-womans-secret-playbook-dr-dawn-hambyCOME SAY HI!https://www.facebook.com/drdawnshoptalkhttps://www.linkedin.com/drdawnshoptalkGRAB YOUR FREEBIES!https://www.drdawnshoptalk.comCONTACT ME:drdawn@drdawnshoptalk.comBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION:    https://calendly.com/drdawnshoptalk/15-minute-customized-coaching-call?month=2023-09

Working remotely has its perks, but let's be honest, it can sometimes feel monotonous and even lonely, so tune in to today's episode for my 5 favorite ways of how to make working remotely more fun without losing productivity.  Here's what we will be talking about...1. Create a Fun and Inspiring Workspace:First things first, ladies—your workspace matters. It's not just about having a desk and a chair. 2. Dress for Success (and Fun!):I know, one of the joys of working from home is the comfort of wearing pajamas all day. But hear me out—getting dressed in something that makes you feel good can have a significant impact on your mindset and productivity.3. Schedule Mini-Breaks and Reward Yourself:All work and no play can make even the most dedicated career woman feel burned out. To keep things fun and fresh, schedule mini-breaks throughout your day. Use this time to stretch, dance to your favorite song, or enjoy a quick walk outside. And don't forget to reward yourself for getting tasks done.4. Stay Connected with Colleagues:Isolation can be a downside of working from home, but it doesn't have to be. Make an effort to stay connected with your colleagues through regular check-ins and virtual coffee breaks. And here's something ELSE I want you to is to consider scheduling a monthly (or weekly) lunch with your colleagues – there is some special magic that happens when a group gets together over a meal, and since feeling isolated is something the can happen if you're not careful, this could be a win/win.  5. Mix Up Your Routine:Lastly, don't be afraid to shake things up a bit! Working from home offers flexibility, so take advantage of it. Change your working location within your home, switch up your daily schedule, or try out new productivity techniques. NEW HERE?  DO THESE 2 THINGS FIRST!1.  Check out the Videos mentioned in Today's episode:a.  Time Management Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqWxPZL2zYJh-dGW6jt4GsQxb.  Healthy Boundaries Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqXaDt_bakaS7NYZylcTTL5Zc.   Work/Life Balance on Vacation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGd2qJ7vc0wd.  Passion & Purpose Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1m26YG12L8&list=PLdguFjdYMwqXQM8PrQlBP-AxrPX-bV2q82.  Get your copy of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook!a.  Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Career-Womans-Secret-Playbookb.  Barnes & Noble:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-career-womans-secret-playbook-dr-dawn-hambyCOME SAY HI!https://www.facebook.com/drdawnshoptalkhttps://www.linkedin.com/drdawnshoptalkGRAB YOUR FREEBIES!https://www.drdawnshoptalk.comCONTACT ME:drdawn@drdawnshoptalk.comBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION:    https://calendly.com/drdawnshoptalk/15-minute-customized-coaching-call?month=2023-09 

We all look forward to those precious days away with our families, but let's be honest…the planning AND the details can be overwhelming. If you're anything like me, you want your vacation to be a true break – you do NOT want to take a vacation from your vacation! So today, I'm sharing 5 of my favorite ways to plan a vacation without spreading yourself too thin. Come back and join me for Episode 47 and find out some easy ways to make this happen! 1. Start with a Plan, But Keep it FlexibleThe first tip is all about balance. Start with a plan but keep it flexible. This might sound contradictory, but hear me out. You want to have a general itinerary—know your travel dates, major activities, and accommodations. 2. Pack Smarter not HarderPacking can be one of the most stressful parts of preparing for a trip, especially if you're traveling with kids or grandkids. My second tip is to create a capsule wardrobe for your trip. Choose a few versatile pieces that you can mix and match to create multiple outfits. Stick to a color scheme to make it easier. 3. Delegate ResponsibilitiesTip number three is to delegate responsibilities. You don't have to do it all yourself. Get your family involved in the planning and packing process. Older children can pack their own bags with a checklist you provide. 4. Use Technology to Your AdvantageMy fourth tip is to use technology to your advantage. There are countless apps and websites designed to make travel easier. Use flight and hotel booking apps that offer real-time updates and alerts. 5. Plan for DowntimeFinally, my fifth tip is to plan for downtime. It's tempting to fill every moment with activities, but remember, a vacation is also about relaxation. Schedule some free time each day to just lounge by the pool, read a book, or take a nap. This is especially important if you're traveling with children, as they often need some quiet time to recharge. There you have it, my top five tips for planning a stress-free summer vacation! Thank you for tuning in AND don't forget our motto here on the pod and it's this:  If you're not having a fantastic day YOU have the power to make it one!NEW HERE?  DO THESE 2 THINGS FIRST!1.  Check out the Videos mentioned in Today's episode:a.  Time Management Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqWxPZL2zYJh-dGW6jt4GsQxb.  Healthy Boundaries Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqXaDt_bakaS7NYZylcTTL5Zc.   Work/Life Balance on Vacation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGd2qJ7vc0wd.  Passion & Purpose Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1m26YG12L8&list=PLdguFjdYMwqXQM8PrQlBP-AxrPX-bV2q82.  Get your copy of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook!  https://www.amazon.com/Career-Womans-Secret-PlaybookGRAB YOUR FREEBIES!https://www.drdawnshoptalk.comCONTACT ME:drdawn@drdawnshoptalk.comBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION:    https://calendly.com/drdawnshoptalk/15-minute-customized-coaching-call?month=2023-09

I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today we're diving into a very timely topic I'm calling, “Balancing Bargains & Boundaries.”  For ALL the details about these 3 tips and how to actually put these in place, tune in to today's episode!Tip #1: First up, setting a budget. This is foundational. Before the holiday sales kick off, take a moment to review your finances. Tip#2: Moving on to prioritizing and protecting your personal time. It's a holiday after all, and it's important to remember that rest and recreation are just as important as any other appointment in your calendar. Tip #3: Lastly, balancing professional obligations with holiday events. For many of us, the lines between work and personal life are blurred, so be sure to communicate clearly with your colleagues and clients about your availability. Memorial Day weekend should not be a source of stress but a time to celebrate and recharge. By setting financial boundaries and wisely choosing how we spend our time, we can enjoy the benefits of the holiday without the fallout of overspending or overextending ourselves. And as we wrap up today's episode, let's not forget our motto here on the podcast, and it's this:  “IF you are not having a fantastic day, YOU have the power to make it one.”  NEW HERE?  DO THESE 2 THINGS FIRST!1.  Check out the Videos mentioned in Today's episode:a.  Upskilling Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqX3gnuMSrLgaN7hXBSWhqmOb.  Time Management Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqWxPZL2zYJh-dGW6jt4GsQxc.   Healthy Boundaries Secrets: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqXaDt_bakaS7NYZylcTTL5Zd.  Work/Life Balance on Vacation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGd2qJ7vc0w2.  Get your copy of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook!a.  Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Career-Womans-Secret-Playbookb.  Barnes & Noble:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-career-womans-secret-playbook-dr-dawn-hamby COME SAY HI!https://www.facebook.com/drdawnshoptalkhttps://www.linkedin.com/drdawnshoptalkGRAB YOUR FREEBIES!https://www.drdawnshoptalk.comCONTACT ME:drdawn@drdawnshoptalk.comBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION:    https://calendly.com/drdawnshoptalk/15-minute-customized-coaching-call?month=2023-09

Are you struggling on Monday Mornings? Are you one of those people who drag into the office, pray that the coffee pot is already brewing and are already counting down until Friday?  Could it be your job?  Maybe, but what if it's not?  What if the WAY you're starting your Monday is ruining your chances for a good one?  Join us for today's episode to see what you can do about it! Let's Get to It!1.  Tip #1: Ease into Your Day:  Be sure to start your day with some “me time,” whatever that means to you.  It could be sipping a cup of coffee while you enjoy journaling or watching a favorite show – the goal is to feel like you aren't rushed and are starting your day off on the right foot.2.  Tip #2: Create a Grab/Go Routine:  Create a drop-zone so that everything you need is ready to go, and do as much as you can the day before so that you're freed up in the morning for things that really fuel you.3.  Plan your Week in an Empowering Way:  Plan for the week ahead and be sure to do so in a way that allows buffers of time so you don't feel rushed, while still giving you time for your passions and hobbies.4.  What to Do on Sunday: Begin by organizing your essentials for Monday morning the night before. Lay out your outfit, prepare your lunch, and ensure your workbag is packed. 5.  Set a Non-Negotiable Wake-Up Time: Consistency is key. Choose a wake-up time and stick to it every Monday. This regularity helps regulate your body's internal clock, reducing feelings of fatigue. 6.  Monday = Fun Day: Engage in a simple pleasure that makes you look forward to Mondays. This could be a special breakfast, a particular type of coffee, listening to your favorite podcast, or a short morning walk. 7.  Joyful Movement/Meditation: 2 minutes -10 minutes of physical or mental exercise can dramatically improve your mood and energy levels.NEW HERE?  DO THESE 2 THINGS FIRST!1.  Check out the Videos mentioned in Today's episode:a.  Time Management Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdguFjdYMwqWxPZL2zYJh-dGW6jt4GsQxb.  Heathy Boundaries: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZfDoKDCejUc.   Mindset: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eiFxqw_p4sd.  Confidence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffa67r1riNA2.  Get your copy of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook!a.  Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Career-Womans-Secret-Playbookb.  Barnes & Noble:  https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-career-womans-secret-playbook-dr-dawn-hambyCOME SAY HI!        https://www.facebook.com/drdawnshoptalkhttps://www.linkedin.com/drdawnshoptalkGRAB YOUR FREEBIES!https://www.drdawnshoptalk.comCONTACT ME:drdawn@drdawnshoptalk.comBOOK YOUR FREE CONSULTATION:    https://calendly.com/drdawnshoptalk/15-minute-customized-coaching-call?month=2023-09

*Permission to Not Be Perfect as a Career Woman and Mom* Today's episode was inspired by an interaction I had with a colleague recently.   It was just such a blessing to me and it was a perfect example of where we all find ourselves at one time or another as busy working moms.  We battle the desire or pressure of being great at our professional roles and being great as a mom and wife.  Sometimes, the 3 just can't happen at the same time.  Today is a little pause for me to stop and give you permission to not be perfect.  Tune in for the details of my exchange and what it means for you.   I hope this episode blesses you!

Welcome back, Career Women, to another episode of The Career Woman's Secret Playbook. I'm your host, Dr. Dawn, and today we're talking about the ways in which we might be inadvertently hindering our own success in the workplace. So, grab your notebooks and get ready to take some notes because we're about to uncover the top 3 ways we may be blocking our success.#1:  "Self-Doubt." Yes, you heard it right. Self-doubt can be one of the biggest obstacles standing between us and our goals. How many times have we downplayed our achievements or hesitated to speak up in meetings because we questioned our own abilities? It's time to silence that inner critic and start owning our accomplishments.#2: "Fear of Failure." This one is a biggie. Many of us are so afraid of failing that we don't even attempt to reach for those higher rungs on the career ladder. But here's the truth: failure is not the opposite of success; it's a part of the journey toward success. #3 is "Lack of Boundary Setting." As career women, we often find ourselves juggling multiple responsibilities, both at work and at home. But failing to set boundaries can lead to burnout and ultimately sabotage our success. It's important to communicate our needs clearly and assertively, both in the workplace and in our personal lives.For more details about these 3 tips and more, tune in to today's episode!//HERE'S WHAT YOU DO NEXT:1.  Watch these videos next:·       What's Holding You Back Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg5oof2vv7Q&list=PLdguFjdYMwqUaLR6jMeDUgP0cntaIJJ-Y·       How to Have Confidence Wherever You Go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfDUbgv5BtQ·       Mindset & Confidence Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klxaMDeQCXU&list=PLdguFjdYMwqXrgiI1YaB87uHu1gm_mczc·       Fear of Success: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX_l1QIhYWw·       Healthy Boundaries Secrets Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsYcFaWvEcI&list=PLdguFjdYMwqXaDt_bakaS7NYZylcTTL5Z2.    GET YOUR COPY OF THE BOOK that our Podcast is based on!  a.   For Amazon, go HERE: https://www.amazon.com/Career-Womans-Secret-Playbook/dp/B09RM4PW9Q.  b.   For Barnes & Noble, go HERE: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-career-womans-secret-playbook-dr-dawn-hamby/3.  BOOK A FREE 15 MINUTE CALL WITH ME and let's see how things are going in your career and explore ways that we might be able to work together!
