Dawn’s Liberation Notes

I'm adding something new to my podcast series--Book Bites! You'll get to hear my quick review and promotion of a book that I just finished reading that is bringing me joy. Take a listen to one of my favorite reads right now--What you are looking for is in the library. It is an ode to libraries and librarians that bring magic to our lives!

This episode is a special one. It truly helped me navigate the process of finding healing, acceptance, and ultimately allowing me to walk the journey with my mom as she lost her battle to cancer in 2024.

I'm back and sharing key words, passages, and my liberation notes on Tara Westover's, Educated. Topics include--family, unbecoming, our "words," and the importance of coming home and educating ourselves. Follow me on my blog at www.unbecomingdawn.com.

Join me as I share my liberation notes, thoughts, and keywords about the self-help book by Brene Brown. Topics include wholehearted living, storytelling, and curiosity.

In this episode, I share three meaningful passages from Maya Angelou's "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." I dig deep and share keywords and how I felt after reading the story this second time around. Topics include: acceptance, belonging, and self-awareness.

Welcome to Dawn's Liberation Notes. What is this podcast about? In a nutshell, I got this idea from a beautiful Korean series titled, “My Liberation Notes.” I thought…why not write down my liberation notes or start my own Liberation Club, to help myself grow through what I had been struggling with for a while now. What do I need to be liberated from? Negative patterns, fixed mindset, and self-isolation for starters. I was feeling stagnant emotionally and mentally. I have struggled with both anxiety and bouts of depression throughout my adulthood, and although I sought help for this; it always returned. I slowly began to recognize some of my issues were related to unhealed trauma, codependency and even imposter syndrome. I needed to work on myself. I’m still a work in progress, but I’ve made some strides and that is what this podcast will be about….it’s for me but it is also for anyone who desires to listen to something that helps them feel they’re not alone. It’s for the wisdom seekers, the future healers, and anyone who has found hope or strength through books, art, and music. I won’t always talk about books but let’s face it; the more you read, the more you learn; so for now, The first few episodes will focus on a few great books that helped me on this journey of liberation.
