Seriously? Are you seriously telling me I am "BLESSED" to have the life I have? To be so healed? No, I am not blessed. I have worked my ass off for this feeling. I have done the work. I have dug deeper than you could possibly imagine. I hear this often and it SETS. ME. OFF. NO ONE who has done the work will claim it was easy. It is work. You don't have to do it alone. You don't have to do it unsupported. But please. Please do the work to heal. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #healingishard #doitanyway #healing

Are you scared to heal? I know I was. Who would I be without my pain? Would people in my world still love me? And on and on... DO IT!!! Heal and find out. If you don't like the new you?

Are you meant for Entrepreneurship? This one might be worth a listen 🎧 On the surface, entrepreneurship is a glamorous thing. To the untrained eye, it’s an endeavor that gives absolute independence and freedom. Surprisingly though, it’s not all it’s cut out to be. Today, Dawn speaks with a fellow entrepreneur and a powerhouse in her own right - Ally Stone. Ally and Dawn are here to debunk myths and bring light to the misconceptions about entrepreneurialism. Yet all the same, they look back on this crazy path they’ve been on with utmost gratitude. After all, being entrepreneurs helped forge them into the people they are today.

Be kind to the past versions of yourself. We spend so much time hating or judging the old/little us. What if we loved them? What if we loved the spunky little kid who was just trying to feel loved? The angry one who felt a need to protect herself? The one who masked HARD with calm and happiness to be accepted? Time to love that person. Maybe you could learn something from them. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #loveyourself #loveyourpast

All NEW Episode! Why give it a listen? 👇 Kat Halushka lived the days of her youth in Russia yet eventually found her way to Canada. On paper, the concept of immigration is nothing out of the ordinary. However, immigrants like Kat encounter uphill battles in a new world that’s completely unique to them. In today's compelling episode, we have the privilege of hearing from Kat as she candidly recounts the challenges of assimilating into a vastly different culture. She eloquently expresses her deep appreciation for the heartfelt embrace and support extended to her by a warm and inclusive community. 🎧 Listen on your favourite podcast app or at thetaylorway.ca 🎧 #taylorwaytalks #KatHalushka #podcast #immigration #culturechange #community #support #thetaylorway #unconventional #lifecoach

Remember when: we didn’t move at this pace? We didn’t have constant reminders of how far behind we were? We didn’t always need to rush and push and do so much?

A pace that allows you to work at your best, to be present, to enjoy what you are putting your time into. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #moveatyourownpace #findabalance #bepresent

Did you know I nap most days? Whether I think I need it or not? and if I am not napping? I am playing lego... Having a heavy brain job I have realized that in order to keep myself healthy, I need to rest. To just block time in my calendar didn't work as I would end up working!! So I started forcing myself to go away from my office. I will sleep, have a bath, read etc and this is almost like a master reset on my day. And the weeks I think I can get away without it?

Sometimes it's the simple things in life that bring you the most joy! Stop rushing through them just to get to the next task. One of the bougie things that I do is make an exceptional cup of coffee every morning. Yes, it might take me a few extra minutes, but the enjoyment is worth every second. What is something that you need to slow down and actually enjoy doing in your day? #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #slowdown #simplejoys #enjoythelittlemoments

Stop. Seriously, just stop. Close your eyes and take a slow, deep breath. Open your eyes and take in the beautiful colours around you. Feel the quiet of the moment, the stillness that surrounds you. Take one more deep breath, feeling the gentle breeze on your skin. Soak it all in. And just breathe. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #slowdown #breathe #feelthemoment

You are loved. You are whole. You are powerful beyond measure. Time to own that space. 💪✨ #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #youareloved #youareworthy #youarepowerful #yourarewhole #ownyourspace

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! #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

What Is the Difference Between Identity and Personality? Your identity is your defining factor, while your personality is what makes you unique and quirky. - Dawn Taylor When someone says “tell me about yourself,” what do you say? What a strange time we live in where we have lost what and who we are. Have you ever asked someone “tell me about yourself,” and their response was their job title? We have somehow become a society where our title has become our identity. I remember asking a friend one time, “Who are you?” Her response was, “I am a nurse.” But who are you?” I thought to myself....

Is it? Is your desire for change that strong?? Or are you kidding yourself?... Over the years I have often made the decision to make a change in my life but in reality, had no desire strong enough to actually make it happen. So, instead of wasting time, do you need to change your goal? Or find your emotional attachment to the goal and a way to strengthen it? #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #thinkaboutit

Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂

How crazy is your family? Mine is….. Ummmm…… nuts. And yet we just love each other anyways. If you struggle with family? Know that everyone does. Only the movies have family as a perfect thing.

Book a damn call! @thetaylorway

"Dawn is outstanding, caring and tells it like it is. When I first reached out to her I was broken and at my lowest. Had no clue what therapy could do for me or what was even wrong. Right from day one Dawn said you’re in good hands and we will get through this. My whole life was spiraling down. My mind is still blown away the break throughs we had each session. So many ahh ha moments. I was able to find my true self and break through things I never knew was there holding me back. Best part is Dawn has a way to break through the fluff and get to the core of what is holding you back, and not just telling me what I want to hear which helps no one. Lots of emotions. I have never felt so free now, my true inner self and joy now in my life and soul. Feel like a big weight been lifted off me and smiling and happy again. Thank you Dawn for being you, breaking my hard core and being so awesome. “ - Wade Szymanski #thetaylorway #clienttestimonial #asskicker #hopegiver #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #nofluff #finallyfree

Don’t be mad. But I am SO excited for fall!!! I love jeans, sweaters, slippers, hot coffee, the colours. I also love the feeling of the end. The ending of the year and the wind down. Probably because I love the stillness of winter. Every season holds a different feel!

New Episode🎙️Melanie Verstraete is a woman who’s endured her fair share of hurdles in life, namely involving important relationships. Toxicity always seemed to follow her, whether it was the unfortunate string of stepdads or the unsafe living conditions with her ex-husbands. Until one day, she put her foot down and determined that she was the common denominator in all her misery. With that in mind came the start of her journey of self-discovery and self-fulfillment. By putting herself first, she has become a better person and started attracting better people, too. On this episode of Taylor Way Talks, we get to know Melanie’s story and how she overcame all of her challenges to rise above as a woman unashamed of who she is. Content Warning: Buckle up, there may be some bad words in this episode.

Ummmm please just stop. Let's actually define things. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

I fight hard for it. As a girl who has struggled with my physical health most of my life, I am more than a little bit appreciative of my good health these days! I fight for my physical health, my emotional health, all of it. Do you fight for yourself? or do you just suffer? I challenge you to do the first one. I know it's tough during a month with so many changes, getting back into routines and navigating the added stress of the world around us. But that is all the more reason to fight for yourself and your health. You ARE worth it. I promise. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway #challenge #fightforyourself #fightforyourhealth #youareworthit

“I love you but I love me more” This is a line I have used A LOT in my life. Sometimes out loud but often in my head. This is the line that allows me to hold boundaries for myself. Do you have a line like this? #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

From suicidal thoughts to happiness, I LOVE this live testimonial.

This is healthy. So, why are relationship boundaries so hard? What has caused me to open the gate, tear down that fence, and allow everyone and everything inside to destroy my yard and house? What good is it doing me? If you want to re-establish those boundaries, put the fence back up and mend your yard, I'd love to help you do that. Re-start with new boundaries and protect yourself, love your yard, and be aware of whom you open your gate for. #boundaries #protectyourself #beaware #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

How do you grieve? Do you even grieve? Most people have NO idea how to grieve or even the fact that we need to grieve more than just the death of a person! Some of the most powerful grieving I have walked clients through was “pre” grieving someone with cancer, death of a dream, loss of a marriage, loss of their freedom, death of their innocence. As a certified grief facilitator I have worked with clients from ages 12-76 through loss in all areas. Call me if you need some support 💕 You don’t have to do it alone. #grief #grieffacilitator #pregrieving #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

Crazy, kind, funny as hell, intense, kind, loving, snobby, supportive, irritating, disconnected… the list goes on. These have all been words used to describe me! While I appreciate some of them? Not all of them connect with who I KNOW I am. Here’s the thing. EVERYONE will have an opinion. Of you, of your life, of your work, of what you wear, of all of it. It doesn’t mean we have to buy into it. NONE of it!!! One rule of thumb I use? If I would not trade lives with them in that area, I refuse to take their advice there. Think about this the next time you take someone's words to heart. What word describes you? What word do you ignore? Comment below! #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

To this little girl.... I am so sorry I couldn’t protect you. I am so sorry I couldn’t speak up. I am so sorry you had to live the life you did. But want to hear something cool? It all turns out ok. You aren’t going to end up where you think. You aren’t going to be who you dream of. It will all be even better. Just different. You’ve got this. - With love, Adult Dawn #abusedate #oneweekafter #trauma #abuse #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

4. I wanted 4 kids. Chloe Dawn would have been one of my daughters. She was going to have my husband's red hair and massive dimples. Man was she going to be feisty. But then life happened and it wasn’t a thing. I fought this for YEARS and felt like a failure until I shifted how I looked at it. Sometimes things in life show up in ways we can’t see because we are so busy focusing on the outcome.. we are demanding instead just allowing the outcome that is. Now? I am the “mom” to everyone in my life. And I love it so much. I don’t think I could do what I do if I had kids. And I wouldn’t change it for anything. Do you have anything that has shown up different than you expected? Share your thoughts in the comments. #unconventional #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

Did you know that we have complete control over our brains? We do. We have full control. So, the minute your brain starts to shift to a negative space, you must ask yourself, "what about this could turn into something good? What are the positives?" Ask yourself what is working right now, and then what needs to be done to change things. There is always a way to shift. It is key to figure out what you cannot adjust and what you can. This stuff can keep us awake at night. So, if your mind is too full and you can't go to sleep, write down all you worries on a piece of paper, then put them in a "worry-later box" (yes, a literal box) before going to bed. The reason why we play things over and over in our head is because we haven't done anything with it. Our brain replays them constantly, so we don't forget. Writing things out gives our brain an opportunity to feel things are dealt with and we can move on to something else. #writeidown #wehavecontrol #intosomethinggood #change #goodhabits #thetaylorway #lifecoaching #businesscoaching #traumaspecialist #unconventional

What is your favourite summer memory from childhood? We used to have water fights with my cousins.

43. There are at least 43 things I could complain about right now. Just saying. Someone recently made the snippy comment that it must be nice to live my perfect life and I laughed out loud!!! Nope. It is no where near perfect. But I choose where I put my energy and complaining? Just isn't one of them. I choose to fix. I choose to change. I choose to let go of what I can't control anyways. But there are always things. We all have them. What you do with them? That is up to you. #choice #change #acknowledge #alwaysthings #itsuptoyou #thetaylorway

You can add all the fresh food in the world but if you leave the rotting food in the fridge? It will always stink and be gross. Emotions/trauma is not different. If you want to smell fresh? You HAVE to clean out the rotting food in the back. Is it time to heal? You tell me. #thetaylorway #traumaspecialist #lifecoaching #unconventional #cleanitout

YOU CAN DO IT!!!!! YOU ARE ALMOST DONE!!!! You have almost arrived to the end of the school year. Guessing you are burnt out, exhausted and sick and tired of people and things. Can you do yourself a favor? Book a day of NOTHING for yourself and the kids after it is done. Order the pizza, watch too much tv, lower all the expectations so that you can enjoy your summer. #dayofnothing #almostthere #onemoreday #arrived #lifecoaching #thetaylorway

What motivates you more than anything? time off? money? shopping? 👇 #motivation #lifecoaching #thetaylorway #traumaspecialist

"Do you think you would be doing this if your mom was alive?" I was asked this a few weeks ago and it has taken some processing but the answer? No. I would most likely be dead. And no that is not being dramatic. I would not be here. I could not process my emotions/hurt/trauma while I was working in that relationship and with her emotions and trauma on top of it all. I was drowning. I say this to say that sometimes? We have to leave the situation to give ourselves the space to heal. The space to process. DM me if you need support in this way. I've got you. #wouldyou #idbedead #nodrama #truth #trauma #understandingtrauma #managingemotions #heal #spacetoprocess #lifecoaching #traumaspecialist #thetaylorway

I had to cook a meal every single day. This was a belief that I held for YEARS of my marriage. 23 of them to be exact. Until one day last year when I was stressing out and feeling overwhelmed and my husband said "you do know I have NO expectations of you when it comes to food, right?" and I was honestly SO MAD. I made me so frustrated that I had created these expectations on myself that I didn't need to and that day? things changed. It stopped the pressure. I cook when I want to. We eat a LOT of leftovers and I can breathe. What is something you need to shift your expectations on? 👇 Comment below! #expectations #overwhelm #pressure #shiftexpectations #unconventional #lifecoaching #positivechanges #clarity

"Me choosing me is not me rejecting you." I remember the first time I said that to someone. I was so scared to hurt their feelings but realized that there was no way I could protect them completely while taking care of me. This month while life is so crazy and busy and we are all at max capacity, I challenge you to use this line. Say no, but also explain this to them. We are all so afraid of rejection!!! #rejection #chooseyou #selfcare #limitingbeliefs #unconventional #thetaylorway #lifecoaching

What is the order of your family? I am the middle child, my sister is 2 years older than me and my brother is 4 years younger than me. It has shaped me in ways you could not imagine.

"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.
