In this powerful, very human episode of This Mother Means Business, Laura sits down with trauma specialist and author Dawn Taylor—aka the “ass-kicker, hope-giver” behind The Taylor Way. They unpack what trauma really is (hint: it’s not only the “big T” moments), how it shows up in entrepreneurship, motherhood, hiring, launches, and everyday reactions (yes, even the McDonald’s drive-thru). You’ll hear Dawn’s extraordinary story, why typical talk therapy isn’t the only path, and practical ways to start healing—without tying your self-worth to your business.In this episode you will hear:00:00 – Welcome & why this matters01:23 – What counts as trauma?02:05 – Meet Dawn03:14 – Dawn’s book03:55 – Dawn’s backstory (content note: abuse, suicidality, medical trauma)07:23 – The turning point08:16 – When common modalities don’t fit09:41 – Building a toolbox10:58 – Doing this work full-time12:28 – Big T vs. little t14:00 – “It’s not nothing”15:53 – Where to start healing18:05 – Hyper-custom sessions (real examples)22:30 – Trauma costs money24:15 – Why people avoid healing27:03 – The McDonald’s drive-thru story33:14 – Motherhood, entrepreneurship & being chosen35:12 – You are not your business37:26 – Rejection vs. selection39:25 – Self-inquiry that helps42:53 – Parting wisdom (and humor) Dawn's Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetaylorwaynow/Website: https://www.thetaylorway.ca/Book: https://www.thetaylorway.ca/shop?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafD4EQouY9EIr739cWDYOMJKUkU9AM8bnbhAmtiQMDktJ12yu1SJ6bSiD_GHw_aem_VI3B33B5_ahlp9OSrYN-SAJoin This Mother Means Business : www.thismothermeansbusiness.com Laura's Links:• Website • Laura's Instagram • LJSocial Instagram • LinkedIn • Facebook • Pinterest • TikTok
