In today’s episode, Dawn is interviewed by Sarah Snyder, and Dawn shares her journey coming to her work as a trauma specialist. For most of her life Dawn felt like she was just too much, and she was so scared of hurting other people with her story. She felt too broken to get help, and too damaged to ever be healed herself. She had no intention of becoming a trauma specialist, but this work healed her and she realized she couldn’t be the only one. At the core of her work is her why, to help other people become their superhero in their own rescue so that they can inspire people to do the same. Dawn shares how she works with client and throughout the episode Dawn and Sarah reflect on their work together, Sarah’s journey to trusting Dawn, and why sending emails was a huge part of Sarah’s healing. From overcoming her own trauma and trusting her gut, Dawn has stepped into her own healing and vulnerability to help her clients in a meaningful way. It’s given her clients the permission they’ve needed to step into their healing and vulnerability too. As Dawn shares, it’s never too late to work through your trauma. You’re worth fighting for.

“At the core of it, it comes back to it having nothing to do with me. My why has always been to help people be the superhero in their own rescue so that they can inspire people to do the same.”
