The Process with Brooke DawsonAction Creates Clarity - Why We Have it Backwards | Ep 10In this episode, Brooke talks about why so many of us feel stuck waiting for clarity, motivation, or confidence before we start, and why that approach usually keeps us frozen.
She reflects on the idea that clarity doesn’t come first. It comes after action. Through personal reflection, Brooke explores how momentum is created by doing, not thinking, and why discomfort is often the doorway to insight, not a sign that something is wrong.
This episode is about stopping the endless loop of waiting to feel ready, and learning to trust that action itself is what creates direction, energy, and cl...

The Process with Brooke Dawson4 Lessons I Learned When I Moved Across the World | Ep 5In this episode, Brooke shares four lessons she learned after moving across the world to Australia at 21 to work as an au pair.

The Process with Brooke DawsonIt's All About Putting In The Reps | Ep 4In this episode, Brooke reflects on the idea of “putting in the reps” and why so many of us avoid starting things we care about because we’re scared of being bad at them.

Using examples from fitness, business, creativity, meditation, and learning new skills, Brooke explores why repetition, not talent, is what actually creates change.
This episode is about being willing to start before you’re ready, staying with the d...

The Process with Brooke DawsonThe Beliefs That Stop Us From Starting | Ep 3n this episode, Brooke explores three deeply ingrained beliefs that quietly prevent us from starting the things we care about most.
As she begins showing up more honestly online, she notices familiar internal patterns surfacing. The belief that if you are not good immediately, you are not cut out for it. The belief that failure is personal and says something about who you are. And the belief that everyone else is already ahead, so there is no point in trying.
Through personal stories and real-time reflection, Brooke unpacks where these beliefs come from, how they were reinforced early in life...
