I Get It - Life is Hard!
Like many of my clients, I’ve also laid in bed wishing I wasn’t going to wake up the next day. Not understanding why my life was a struggle and I couldn’t get ahead. I’ve gone through depression, abuse, a brain injury and more and it was impacting every area of my life. Not only my physical and mental health but my personal life and business.
In healing my past it lit a fire in me to help others that are in the same situation. If you’re ready to take back control of your life then contact The Taylor Way today!
If you want to try to stay comfortable and stay the same, find someone else. If you want someone who honestly cares about you and who will push you to new awareness of the real issues in your life and point you toward tools that will help you deal with them. This is Dawn, she will kick your butt as she hugs you. Trust the process, lean in hard, dig deep. You will not be the same. You very likely will end up being a help to others.
Dallas Wiebe
I had been in therapy since I was 16, over 20 years of going to therapy before I met Dawn. But in 14-15 months of working with her, my brain has essentially rewired itself. How I view my friends, myself, and God has changed. But you have to buy in, and be willing to work through the tough stuff to get to the other side.
Sarah Snyder, MA, LPC
I felt like my life had been squandered a little bit in the season of having babies and people needing me. But after working with Dawn, I realize I have the potential for greatness. It was the first time in my life that I realized I actually have the potential to do amazing things.

1. We are terrified to let go of our identity. Who would we be without it? What would we talk about? How would we connect to people? "I don't know me without it" quoted from a client. Who you are is the same. YOU are still you. With or without the story of what happened to you. Read that again. It happened TO you, it is not YOU. I promise that if you heal? You will finally find the NEW YOU but more importantly? The old you that was there pre-trauma. I bet they are pretty amazing.

Picture this: Your daily routine is like a quirky therapy session with yourself. Are you giving yourself a pep talk, or is your inner voice more of a strict librarian shushing you?

I miss her. But not her. My mom and I had a HARD relationship for the majority of our time together. When she passed away unexpectedly in 2008 I grieved and I grieved hard but there was a lot of anger and hurt mixed in with sadness. There would be no closure. I wouldn't get the answers I needed and wanted. I would never be able to have that last fight I wanted to have!!! The funny thing? Life and business are no different. One thing I have come to understand is life is unpredictable. Health issues shifted things, moving shifted things, family shifted things and life, in general, has been the biggest shift creator of all. So what do I do to manage all of the change that occurs, I make sure to grieve the possibilities. Because we attach meaning to things, we attach stories to things not only in the present but in the future! We plan, we execute and already have a vision in our head of how it MAY turn out and when it does we are ecstatic but what about when it doesn't…we need to grieve. Every day I talk to business owners and friends who are having to change something in their business or lives. Either a relationship, where they live, their spending, or the entire focus of their business and the hardest part is letting go of what we believe should have been. I challenge you this year, to start to release the "you" from your business. Your business is not you. You are not your business. Your worth is not determined by it and therefore the outcome. Our business should not destroy us or make us!! If you this makes you uncomfortable, I recommend you take a deeper look into your business/personal relationship and start the process of letting go. Find things outside of them to fulfill you. To make you feel whole. Grieve what could have been. Cry, scream, stomp your feet and then let time heal the bruises. But don't allow that dream to hold you hostage in your future and be unable to move forward. Dawn Taylor

How will you know when you are truly healed and not living in a consistent state of trauma? For me personally, truly healing has never meant living life without ever being triggered again. For me, true healing means being at a point where when the trauma response happens, when I am triggered, or a new trauma arises, knowing I have the tools and skills to process it, move through it, and past it. #traumacoaching #trulyhealed #traumaresponse #traumatools #lifecoachingButton -

Eating disorders, self harm, hiding myself, feeling horrible about myself - These are some of the ways that this harmed me. I hated myself. I never believed anyone when they complimented me. I starved myself. I binged and purged. I would stand in front of the mirror and loath what I saw. Have you ever felt that way? I promise.... healing is so powerful. The best thing that has come out of my healing? Falling in love with myself. #fallinginlove #selflove #healing #disorders #selfharm #belief #trauma #traumahealing #lifecoaching #thetaylorway #unconventionalButton -

"You are disgusting." Was that what was said? No. But it was what I heard. I was 9. It was a conversation that I walked in on between people that I loved. Looking back you would think it shouldn't have mattered, but that comment caused a bigger trauma in me than a lot of things I dealt with. The reason I think a lot of people don't believe that they have trauma, is that whatever is haunting them is not considered as "BAD" as someone elses. Trust me, those "small" moments could be harming you or holding you back just as much as anything "big".... to be continued. #trauma #distrust #wordshavemeaning #depression #healing #crying #coaching #traumahealing #thetaylorway #unconventional #lifecoachingButton -

Wednesday Wisdom! We get scared. We fail. We get scared of failing, and we fall down from time to time – this scares us, too. Today and this week, I want to encourage you to think about one thing, one area in your life where you feel afraid to fall. Maybe it’s an upcoming test of strength, knowledge, or self control, or maybe it’s a regular responsibility that just pushes your limits. Whatever it is, think about it for a moment: What if you fall?

Here's the Thing.... I Get It - Life is Hard! Like many of my clients, I’ve also felt ugly, useless, and forgotten. I’ve gone through depression, molestation, and a brain aneurysm. It took me years to understand what I had gone through and how to use my past to support others in conquering their fears and self talk. That’s why I’ve condensed what I’ve learned into strategies to help you overcome your own stuff efficiently. With multiple different certificates, training courses, and a whole lot of courage and stubbornness, I decided that if I could heal myself I could help others heal too. If you’re ready to take back control of your life so that you can live with more fulfillment and peace, then please reach out to me.

Have you ever reacted to something and thought after "Damn. That was a big feel!" Where there is density there is emotion. Good or bad. These are typically trauma responses. A way to figure these out? Write them down when they happen. Are there patterns? As in are you having big feels when you are around the same people, or at the same time of day, or the same location? Having similar conversations when these feelings come up? Watch for your patterns! #emotionalpatterns #traumaresponse #bigfeelings #understandingyourself #lifecoaching #thetaylorwayButton -

One small change. Just one small change. If you are anything like me you want change NOW (not impatient at all...). What I have figured out over the years? Change up HOW I go about making change. Instead of deciding to meal plan 7 days a week and then failing at it, I plan 4 or 5? Instead of going from a small amount of water to MASSIVE amounts of water overnight up your amount a cup a day! Or every few days. Those little wins, those little changes make you so happy and make you want to do it again and again. What is one little change you want to make this week? This month?

Lego! It’s an addiction that never ends, but it is healthier than most! My name is Dawn and I am an addict: A Lego addict. Let me explain. Many years ago, I was struggling with anxiety. I had been taking medication for it for way too long, so I decided there had to be a better way. Am I saying go off your meds? No. I am not a doctor. I am saying that it was an option for me that I wanted to try. I slowly weaned myself off the drugs and started the journey to “hacking” that area of my life. Read more about this concept over at CalmClinic - https://www.calmclinic.com/anxiety/drugs/discontinue Was this easy? Oh, hell no. But man, am I glad I did. I now have a ridiculous collection and use it almost daily with clients! It is amazing how calming it is. You don’t need words, you don’t need to be good at it and there is no competitive anything involved! Some days I want to build, some days I want to tear it down, and others? I just organize the pieces. Are you a lego fan?

Always on the edge of burnout? YOU MUST listen to this episode! 🎙️Tess is a woman who was raised with the philosophy of getting as many things done as quickly as possible and “sleeping when you’re dead”.

Gratitude. I hate that word. I understand what it is and what it means, but did you know that a lot of people are MASSIVELY triggered by it? I hear this daily in my work.

From time to time someone will ask me why I'm not angrier about my life and what I have been through. My answer? I only have so much time and energy in a day, and I feel like anger is a waste of my precious time!!! I have better things to do. Instead I schedule times to RAGE so that I have release, but day to day? I spend the time to shift my state. I ask myself if feeling angry is worth my time in the moment, and if I determine it's not? I superman pose, walk barefoot in the grass, practice deep breathing, throw a personal dance party... whatever it takes to shift my state!

New Episode Release 🎙️ Escaping Scientology and the Sea Org From the outside looking in, Scientology is quite mysterious. It can’t help but pique any outsider’s interest in this mysterious phenomenon. Is it really as bad as the media says it is? For Katherine Spallino, an ex-Scientologist who was indoctrinated into the religion upon birth, the answer is a resounding yes. In this episode, Katherine shares with us what it was really like growing up in the world of Scientology, and how fortunate she is to have escaped, now living a life where she is able to make choices for herself and can truly be free.

This week was my moms birthday. There are so many emotions around this time of year every year. I miss what should have been. I miss how my family could have turned out. This time of year holds emotions that suck but also amazing ones. There is joy and laughter and fun and get togethers and faith and all the things. I am going to focus on that….

If you are really stressed out about Christmas.. Minimize. Minimize. Minimize. Break the rules. I may have done my tree last year? With only lights. That’s all. We also didn’t have a turkey dinner! We had salad. This year? We will be doing a minimal year as it was our favourite ever! And when life goes a little more back to normal? Will still do a minimal time of year. We love it and refuse to go back. #minimize #yourway #breaktherules #unconventional #thetaylorway #lifecoachingButton -

🎙️Burnout 👇 Burnout is a thing that happens to all of us and it can happen at any time. A problem we all face is the difficulty that goes into identifying this negativity in our lives. In this episode, Dawn and her guest Ben Kraker discuss the possibilities from wherein burnout could spring from - such as being at work, serving the community or even with the people you’re with at home. From that burnout, Dawn and Ben bring some steps and suggestions to turn it into a place of contentment where we can focus on what matters and be grateful for the things that truly mean the most to us.

Time. We only have so much of it; if your calendar is full don't add to it! Protect yourself by putting time limits on your meetings, visits, errands, etc. (tip: put on timers if you are known for going over!). Ensure that you plan for the things and people you love, including yourself. If you are overwhelmed and insanely busy, blocking out time for ALL things in your life is a good way to keep balanced. Block out time to read that romance novel, block out time to have lunch by yourself at a restaurant, or to work "on" your business. Think about where you want to spend your time, block it out, set a timer, and go! #protectyourself #limitedtime #takeamoment #spendwisely #time #thetaylorway #lifecoachingButton -

🎙️ While we’ve seen it portrayed everywhere from movies to TV, the life of a military spouse isn’t exactly as it’s made out to be. However, today’s guest Jenny Ryce is nonetheless thankful for all that’s happened in her life. As a military wife, she shares her story of how she navigated through life and approached it with caution knowing her husband was out in the field protecting their country. She may not have learned to defuse bombs or crawl through landmines, but Jenny’s unique journey to self-discovery and parenthood is both challenging and compelling in its own way.

"For years, I stood by my husband's side as he faced the challenges and dangers of military life. I witnessed his unwavering dedication to his duties and the unspoken burden he carried. I also watched our daughters grow, following in their father's footsteps, and forging their own paths in the Navy. Their service is a testament to the values we hold dear as a military family: duty, honour, and sacrifice...."

New Episode Drop 🎙️👇 Bean Gill suffered an unfortunate predicament where she lost the use of her legs. However, she did not let that stop her from living life her way all while helping the people around her. Today, she is on this episode of Taylor Way Talks to help break stigmas regarding disabled people and dismantle the oppression towards them, whether it’s done purposely or subconsciously. At the end of the day, disabled people are people too, with their own feelings, wants, dreams and motivations and for Bean Gill, it’s high time the rest of the world recognizes that.

“So when they criticize to hold you back because your dreams are not what they are used to and they are afraid you will outgrow them and leave them behind or that they will use you, stop asking for their advice if they have never been there themselves. Because when you people please for others? You end up betraying yourself." - @JamieKernLima #breakfree #followyourdreams #pathuntaken #dreambig #yougotthis #thetaylorway #lifecoachingButton -

Happy National Author Day!! Have you gotten a chance to read my book? If you want one? Check out my website, amazon or even audible to get a copy. One of the hardest things to do but a huge moment of pride when it was done!!! “This book arrived today, so I decided to read a chapter while I ate my lunch. That turned into laying down and reading another chapter...which turned into reading the entire book cover to cover in one sitting. The way this book is written - part memoir, part autobiography, part motivational, part self-help makes it so you never want to put it down. Dawn warns you that she’s going to get vulnerable and she’s not lying. She has an incredible life story which she writes about in a beautiful, engaging way. It’s not exactly written in chronological order, but that only serves to keep you interested. If you’re dealing with trauma, and you want to see how somebody has dealt with a lifetime of varying and interconnected traumas, this book is a must read!” - Amazon review HOW IS IT NOVEMBER?!?!?! Every year this day hits a little harder. I don’t know why this month always shocks me. I feel like it is this panic feeling of “YEAR IS ALMOST DONE!!!!! MAKE IT WORTH WHILE!!!!!!” but also the calm before the storm. How does this month feel to you? #psimadeit #dawntaylor #thetaylorway #author #nationalauthordayButton -

New Episode Release: My Identity - Making Room For Cancer Sam Alexandra Rose’s life was forever changed when she was diagnosed with not one, but three different illnesses. Yet, instead of letting these cancers derail her and take her life on a tailspin, she chose to define her life on her terms. As proud as she is for being a cancer survivor, she is many other things as well, being an accomplished writer, avid charity supporter and a dear friend to those around her. Today, Sam shares her story with Dawn on how she’s learned to not just live alongside her illnesses, but rise above them, too.

Anxiety is a tool, like all of our other emotions, to give us a signpost. Did you know that your body physically cannot tell the difference between anxiety and excitement? This means you have more control over your anxiety than you may have ever realized before! If you’re beginning to feel anxious about something, I encourage you to get curious. Why feel curious? Because it lets us start the process of shifting our emotional state. And, if we are curious about our state, it’s hard to stay IN that state. What is the anxiety pointing to? Is it a sign that you’re about to take a big leap? Is it a sign that you’re experiencing an old trigger from childhood? Or, something completely different? Instead of continuing with worrying or anxious thoughts, ask yourself: “What about this could be exciting?” And “What if this situation does work out for the best? What happens if I DO succeed? #anxiety #signpost #emotionsaretools #lifecoaching #thetaylorwayButton -

Love. It's the random text you receive from someone with a funny meme, letting you know they are thinking of you. It's the warmth of the sun shining down showing God's love. It's someone taking the time to comment on your Facebook post. It's your partner starting a fire for you in the fireplace before they leave. It's the stranger at the store asking how your day is going. It's so many of these kind gestures that we so often overlook. So take a moment to acknowledge "this is love," when these small gestures show up in your life. #love #kindness #thoughtfulness #smallmoments #thetaylorwayButton
