TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER "I like to call challenges the ‘Champions Treadmill," Becky's son Dawson says. "God owns the ‘Champions Treadmill’ because he puts people in that position to help make them a better person. There are challenges and bumps in the road but once you get through them you will be the person God created you to be." Although challenges make life hard, the power that challenges produce allows character to develop. A developed character has the ability to …
Listening is Leading
By Dawson Allen Maybe you thought you always had to talk to be a leader? Or maybe you’ve been a part of group where no one listened to your ideas? Isn’t that frustrating? To be a great leader, you have to listen to lead. Take a moment and let other people’s ideas sink in because other ideas may change the way you think and make your idea better. When you tell everybody what to do only your ideas happen. But when you take the time to listen, everybody's brains can think together. It's like …
Win the Day Productions Podcast
I’ve always been a deep diver and lover of authentic, real conversations. Holding space with someone to talk though all the different shades life has to offer is as good as it gets in my world. The process of improvement has always been a fascination of mine. I love to discover how people are wired and how they can use their gifts and strengths to step into their purpose, fully. It can be so tricky to see our blindspots, can’t it? Opening up with a close, trusted and safe circle can peel back …
Dream Big
By Dawson You can't shoot for the moon if you don't aim for the moon. Yup, itś true. You need to believe in yourself, in anything you do. It is like rule number one in the rule book. It is not always easy to believe in yourself. So to help fuel my belief I think of who inspires me like Steph Curry, for example. When I am doing my basketball drills I pretend he is watching me and cheering me on. I imagine him saying, “Keep going, you got it!” and it makes me try twice as hard. Who helps you …
Disappointment Strikes Again
Imagine turning all of the needed forms in to your tax guy, thinking that maybe you’ll get a small bit back, and finding out you owe upwards of $5,000 to the government. I wish this was a hypothetical situation… but it was not. It was our reality this year and to say we were disappointed would be understating it. Add this to the tornado that is Covid, and the weight of the disappointments grow. Disappointments come in all shapes and sizes: big prominent ones, or small ones that stack up; …
Progress
Progress is a learning opportunity. Progress has low points and high points. High and low points in progress both play an important role in all things we do. Low points on a progress chart show challenges or places you learned from the mistakes you made. You see this shows there is no success without error. I have had many times when I have had errors but I learned the most where I failed. I might have a test and even if I only get one wrong that’s the one I´ll remember the most. I grew …
Connect the Dots
I’ve always viewed the world through connection points, never believing in ‘chance’, but firmly in fate and divine appointments. People coming, going or staying in our life for specific reasons and lessons. Some people we are meant to know for only a few short moments, others for a lifetime. Life is constantly flowing and washing moments of connections up to the shoreline. Are all dots meant to connect? I believe so, or prefer to live a life that roots purpose into all things. I love the …
Calling…Hello, is it Me You’re Looking For?
I'm thrilled to connect you all with a dear friend, Amber of Mama B Ramblings. Amber and I have been friends for years and she has been a constant supporter, encourager and dream builder for me and many other women. Her energy is contagious and she makes everybody feel like a somebody. Amber's vision and passion are like nothing I've seen before and this is just the start of our future collaborations. I know you'll love what she has to say about finding your true calling. Enjoy my …
Champions Treadmill
I like to call challenges the ‘Champions Treadmill.’ God owns the ‘Champions Treadmill’ because he puts people in that position to help make them a better person. There are challenges and bumps in the road but once you get through them you will be the person God created you to be. Although challenges make life hard, the power that challenges produce allows character to develop. A developed character has the ability to spread God’s word. Challenges will feel tough. Challenges will feel …
Fight or Flight?
Palms sweating. Pulse rising. Mind racing. Limbs shaking. What does that to you? Public speaking? Stepping out of the shadows? Finally flipping the switch and going for it? A first date? Sharing your final product with the world for the first time? Taking the stage? Speaking your mind? Letting go? Do you think it’s possible that the one thing that scares you most is the exact thing you should do? I do. Our mind can have trouble deciphering the difference between ‘fight’ or ‘flight’. …
