In this episode of Wake Up To Real Love, Dawn is joined by a music aficionado, voice talent coach, and author Mick Smith. Together they discuss Mick's struggles with parental alienation, how got into music, and his journey from pain to purpose. 



KEY TAKEAWAYS 
Love is important but alone it is not enough to sustain society and structural stability is always needed.
There’s always hope on the other side. You have to believe that and not give up hope because the truth will prevail, goodness wins over evil.
No greater love does a man have than the pride to lay down his life for another. If you can lay down your life and give up whatever you need or want for that other person, you are turning your pain into your purpose.
Fear, anger and resentment are all lower vibration energies, that do not help you heal or move forward in your life. Low vibration energy keeps you stuck in the past.
Find a purpose that gets you out of bed in the morning and out into the world. It’s the best thing you can do to help yourself get past difficult and traumatic times.



BEST MOMENTS 

“Religions provide guidelines for relationships”

“Society has killed God, leading to chaos and unhappiness.”

Trusting the Vision: Noah Crane's Journey to Creating a Life of Love and Light

In this episode, Dawn discusses struggles and triumphs in love, relationships, and personal growth, with Mary Kay Ranger. Mary Kay shares her journey of overcoming bullying and societal expectations to create a life aligned with her true desires. Their conversation delves into themes of self-awareness, compassion, and forgiveness, emphasizing the importance of embracing imperfection and self-compassion. Mary Kay's coaching framework, the FLASH framework, focuses on finding clarity, aligning with core values, and crafting a vision for personal growth and fulfillment. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Striving for perfection is unrealistic and can lead to unnecessary stress. Embracing the concept of being "good enough" allows for self-compassion and growth.


Developing self-awareness is crucial in understanding one's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It helps in recognizing triggers and choosing responses consciously.


Forgiving oneself for mistakes and shortcomings is essential for personal growth and self-compassion. It's important to treat oneself with the same kindness and understanding as one would treat others.


Demonstrating positive behaviors, such as self-awareness, compassion, and kindness, can influence others, especially children, to adopt similar qualities and values.


Finding alignment with core values, crafting a clear vision for the future, and exploring possibilities based on transferable skills can lead to fulfilling career transitions and personal growth.

BEST MOMENTS

"There's a space between stimulus and response, and it's in that space where we live our lives."

"When somebody is validating that you're doing a good job, and a good job is important to you, then it is completely lighting up the reward centers of your brain. So then you're going to do it more and you're going to be chasing dopamine."

"Real love to me is something that I am giving, being. I'm not looking for love. I'm living with love."

"You know, you find a man, you get married. So there was that pressure, those expectations. And so if I didn't feel like I was fulfilling the role that was laid out for me to the perfect level that I thought was expected of me, then I'm going to criticize myself."
