Finding Freedom Dawn Morgan

Mom, executive at GoodLeap, a multibillion dollar company, best selling author, and influencer, Kelly Resendez joins Dawn to delve into the essence of freedom and authenticity. Sharing personal journeys, they break free from societal norms to embrace self-awareness, fulfilment, and purpose. Explore confidence, worthiness, and stepping into your power to design a life of freedom. Tune in for inspiring stories and valuable insights on living boldly as your true self.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Kelly defines freedom as embracing authenticity and joy, whether through family time, hobbies, or fulfilling work. It's about shedding societal expectations and embracing true freedom in every aspect of life.
Emphasising the pivotal shift from seeking external validation to embracing inner truth and vision, Kelly notes this transition empowers individuals to authentically step into their power. Yet, it's not just about the decision—it's about fostering an empowering mindset and implementing effective strategies to support this newfound authenticity.
Crafting a clear vision of one's contribution to the world and aligning goals, mindset, beliefs, and energy accordingly is crucial. It's about nurturing positive energy through activities that ignite passion, rather than succumbing to low energy as an inevitable outcome of daily life.
Encouraging the building of confidence by continually venturing beyond comfort zones, proving personal resilience in the face of challenges, is vital. Confidence is cultivated through practice, not innate talent. Kelly suggests celebrating moments of overcoming self-doubt or fear as one would reward a puppy during training.

BEST MOMENTS 

“One of the greatest challenges that we have, especially as females, is a desire to explain”

"We have this idea that confidence should just miraculously appear”

"It's not like a relationship because ultimately, you can end a relationship”

"Freedom means fully stepping into one's highest power and choosing a life of authenticity and purpose."

Entrepreneur Rob Moore joins Dawn Morgan on Finding Freedom to discuss living life on your own terms. They explore controversial topics like cashless societies and imposter syndrome, emphasising the importance of embracing change and shedding old patterns. Rob shares his personal journey to freedom through accountability, integrity and strategic life design. Discover how to plant your flag with pride, confront relationships with respect, and achieve balance through mindset shifts. Rob and Dawn challenge you to push boundaries, break records, and find fulfilment in the challenges of personal growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


To Rob, freedom means living life on your own terms, at the speed you desire, without intervention from governments and central banks, while still being accountable to others. True freedom requires responsibility and accountability. 
To really taste freedom, you need context - you need to experience restriction and hardship to fully appreciate freedom when you have it. Freedom is a present moment choice, not a destination.  
Avoiding conflict prevents growth. You need to embrace challenging conversations and disagreements to evolve. This can be done respectfully. If you don't speak out about things you disagree with, nothing will change.
Know your non-negotiables - your values, beliefs and boundaries. Articulate them. Plant your flag proudly. Don't apologise for standing up for what you believe in. Clarity on your non-negotiables allows you to live and lead with integrity.

BEST MOMENTS 

"Freedom is not a destination. Freedom is a present moment." 

"In a way cash is a certain amount of freedom. Because let's say the government's and the central banks decided they didn't want you to leave the house because they wanted to do another lockdown. Yeah, where if money and information is all digital, they can just shut your account down." 

"The more freedom you have also, paradoxically, the more responsibility you have, this is the delusion that most people don't understand."

"Freedom means living life, on your terms, but being accountable to the people who rely on you." 

"Just when you think you've got all your ducks in a row one's going to fall off, or someone's going to shoot one."

Dawn’s guest today is Leslie Fiorenzo. Leslie guides her clients to find their voice and share their unique story to grow their business. Leslie's unique approach comes from over 30 years spent in corporate environments as a human resources professional. A lifelong learner, she has achieved a number of certifications and holds a master's degree in Human Resource Development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


To Leslie, freedom is the opportunity to share what you feel is important about your business and being confident in your ability to do that. When you’re scared it makes you stuck and when you’re stuck then you’re not free.
Leslie advocates for coaching to unlock internal potential and prioritise future growth, distinct from therapy's emphasis on resolving past issues. She advises seeking coaching to break through barriers and progress.
Leslie highlights that fear of public speaking, networking, and self-promotion is acquired rather than innate. She supports clients in overcoming these fears to effectively promote their businesses and create impact.
It’s important to heed your inner champion for liberation from self-doubt. Leslie collaborates with clients to quiet their inner critic, enabling them to pursue aspirations boldly and realise their dreams.

 

BEST MOMENTS  

“Don’t listen to that little voice inside your head that says you can’t”

“Take a step back and ask, does this feel right for me?”

“We just need to be persistent and get up when knocked down”

“Share your light - don't be the world's best kept secret”

ABOUT THE GUEST

“Early in my career I belonged to a businesswomen’s group, and they held a speaking contest. First prize was $100.  I entered, I prepared and was disappointed when I didn’t win first prize, I didn’t even place in the top 5!  A mentor of mine who was in the audience, gave me the following feedback: “You had a death grip on the podium, did you think it was going to run away?  You stumbled over your words and the two stories you told didn’t connect to the topic.” I was devastated.  It was all I could do to not cry on the way home in a car full of other women. But I was determined to conquer my fears, create stories that make an impact and craft a presentation that would wow the audience. Fast forward 10 years and my then employer sent me to present our safety program at an industry conference.  This time the prize was based on the impact of the program not the presentation, yet when people approached me afterward and gave me compliments on my delivery and the stories I shared; I knew I’d moved well beyond that timid young woman losing a speech contest years before.”

Embark on Anke Herrmann's inspiring journey from life behind the Berlin Wall to empowering dog owners worldwide. Discover her quest for freedom, resilience in adversity, and the transformative power of following one's passions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Anke grew up in East Germany behind the Berlin Wall, where freedom was severely restricted. She felt like a "big parrot in a tiny cage", unable to travel or make her own choices. 
After leaving East Germany, Anke realised that freedom in West Germany was not as perfect as it seemed from the outside. However, she still valued the autonomy to make her own choices without government interference.
Anke moved to Spain to work for herself and have the freedom to follow her passions, even starting a dressmaking business out of pure interest.
Now Anke advocates for dogs through her Soul Touched by Dogs project, celebrating the human-canine connection. This allows her to do meaningful work on her own terms.
To Anke, freedom means "having an idea and being able to make it happen". It's about autonomy over her life path rather than material possessions.

BEST MOMENTS 

"Freedom isn't having the tropical island and luxury. It's about freedom of creative expression."

"In East Germany everything was guided, they treated you like toddlers."

"I wanted autonomy. I didn't want to watch some big company be steered in the wrong direction." 

"Freedom to me means having an idea and being able to make it happen."

Today Dawn is joined by Jamie Vollmoeller. Jamie is a mum, wife, group practice owner, clinical therapist, radio host, and certified clinical trauma professional. Jamie is on a mission to remind mums and parents that you are good enough and specialises in working with people pleasers, burnt-out parents, and professionals who feel chronically not good enough.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Part of finding freedom is embracing the full spectrum of emotions, recognizing that happiness isn't constant, and accepting negative emotions as part of the human experience. Striving for perpetual happiness is neither realistic nor attainable for anyone. 
Children often mimic the body language and emotions of their parents, reflecting their caregivers' emotional states. Parents serve as emotional regulators for their children and should be projecting healthy emotional expression, providing comfort, and offering support during challenging times. 
People often strive excessively to gain universal approval, morphing into social chameleons. Yet, this facade breeds unhappiness, as authenticity gets sacrificed. True contentment arises when one embraces their genuine self, finding their tribe among those who appreciate them for who they truly are.
For Jamie, freedom is the ability to be herself in any situation and feel completely safe while doing so in both mind and body. 

BEST MOMENTS 

‘It was almost like I was a prisoner in my mind, I knew my thoughts were not true’

‘As parents we are their sense of safety, if I feel safe then so will they’

‘You’re not in control of other people, but you are in control of how you respond’ 

‘Thank you for that piece of advice, but I’m going to go my own way’
