Unleash Your Inner Wrecking Ball.

Is it just me, or does it sometimes feel like the good life is happening to everyone else while you sit idle, wondering, “Why not me?” It’s tough to see others moving forward and enjoying opportunities while you feel stuck on the sidelines. This feeling can come from fear, doubt, or just feeling overwhelmed.

I am here to help you reinvent your identity and stop letting your past define you – We are not the same people we were when we made all those questionable life decisions so stop holding yourself hostage and open your mind to accepting you are more than capable of transforming yourself into a power house – a leader of success in your own life – whatever success may mean to you. The life you crave – the lives you envy – you are worthy and deserving but only you can demand it.

It’s Time to Play a New Game.

I used to see life as a win-or-lose situation where some people got lucky while others didn’t. With that mindset, I settled into a mediocre life, expecting to lose, since I was not one of the lucky ones. Then, during a truth-or-dare session with myself, I had an epiphany – I was watching others win at the game of life while I sat idle on the sidelines. That’s when I decided to stop letting others take all the glory and learned how to take control of the game.

I know what it’s like to feel unmotivated and powerless, believing that options are only available to other people. Trust me, it’s time to learn to play a new game!

I’m here to help you become the most strategic player in your life. Working with a Coach is incredibly empowering because it enables you to shape your identity consciously, ensuring that your brightest days lie ahead.

Your identity is a constantly evolving tapestry, woven by various influences like society, family, friends, ethnicity, culture, and life experiences. The idea of your authentic self isn’t tied to who you once were; it’s about envisioning who you aspire to become. You’re not lost and needing to backtrack; instead, you’re constantly evolving as you navigate through life’s challenges and opportunities.

Picture this: confidence and power radiating from within. A smile and glow reserved for those who have found the courage and freedom to be exactly who they want to be, without letting outside opinions hold them back. You’re making your own rules now, and that’s life-changing.

You won’t just walk; you’ll strut with happiness and success, leaving doubters in your wake. So, let’s dive in and start turning your dreams into reality!

TESTIMONIALS

*Caution* You are entering a judgement free zone!  

Total strangers, people I’ve just met at events or parties, have always been drawn to me. I have an energy, vibe thats makes people feel safe, without judgement. Here’s what some of my recent clients have to say about working with me:

“Dedication and Sincerity”

From the moment you meet Dawn, her kindness and warmth are evident. She is effortlessly pleasant and exudes approachability, making her incredibly easy to talk to. Dawn earns your confidence with her genuine nature and steadfast integrity.  

I wholeheartedly recommend Dawn as a life coach. Her compassion and genuine desire to see others thrive make her an invaluable ally on the journey of self-discovery and personal growth. With Dawn by your side, you can navigate life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.   – Scott and Halle

“Easy to Talk To”

Dawn is very easy to talk to.  I settled right in and felt at ease right from the first meeting. Even during the heaviest of topics, she knows how to keep the conversation light enough that you don’t feel like you’re drowning. She is a very active, empathetic listener and has amazing insight.  

She helped me see things more clearly, building my confidence and gently nudged me to step out of my comfort zone.  Big things happened for me then! I value her guidance and support beyond measure. – L. Spencer

“Charismatic, High Energy Approach”

Dawn’s charismatic, high-energy approach to our sessions was downright addictive. She truly listens to understand and cultivates a safe, comforting environment of acceptance and trust. Seriously, nothing seems to faze her. I’ve never felt so at ease being honest and vulnerable with anyone else before!

She guides you forward while also being there to support you when you need to take a detour. Dawn is dynamic, balancing professionalism with a wonderfully open, fun, and down-to-earth demeanor. Expect laughter and maybe a well-placed F-bomb or two along the way! – Jesse and Brad

FAQs

What services do you offer?

I offer one on one virtual sessions for both individuals and couples. Coaching sessions are conducted online, so we can chat from the comfort of your own favourite space. I’m also working on building a community for women called “No Topic Off the Table”

What kind of training do you have?

I am a graduate of the Canadian Coaching Academy and a former HR professional. Education aside, much of who I am as a coach comes from my judgement free, gentle human nature, and a whole lot of life experience! 

I’m a Work in Progress – a Student of Life, if you will. Through life’s wild adventures, I’ve gathered more wisdom than any classroom or lecture hall could ever offer. With every twist and turn, I’m constantly reflecting on the journey and soaking up valuable insights along the way. 

What does I Rise mean?

I Rise emerged from the ashes like a phoenix, embodying the powerful truth: “Sometimes, you have to burn yourself to the ground before you can rise again.”

I was a beautiful mess of anger and kindness, believing the world owed me something and ready to demand it. Love was a weakness, and vulnerability was to be hidden from sight. I encased myself in a shell, denying myself the love and beauty the world offered.

But through failed friendships and relationships, I learned my biggest mistake: I was living to fulfill others’ expectations, not my own. I had lost sight of who I truly was and what I wanted to become.

Piece by piece, I shed my armor and walked into the fire of my anger and self-doubt. In that fiery furnace, I discovered the power of love—both giving and receiving. I realized the world needs me just as I am. I learned the profound art of forgiveness and acceptance, embracing others for who they are.

And most importantly, I learned to love myself—truly and deeply. I discovered my own awesomeness, and I embraced it with open arms.

How will I know if we are a good fit?

Let’s start with a discovery call. Each client brings their own unique life story, personality, and set of needs to the table. Likewise, every coach has their own life experiences and perspectives, making each coaching experience distinct.

During our discovery session, we will dive deep into your journey to understand where you’ve been, where you’re at now, and where you aspire to be. This process unveils the barriers holding you back from your goals.

By grasping your story and obstacles, I can determine if I am the right fit to guide you toward lasting positive changes. It’s a two-way street: some clients will vibe with my coaching style, while others may require a different approach. It’s all about finding the best match for you.
