They dive into the transformative power of "red pen moments" - those life-altering instances when a course correction is needed, and sometimes, it's Shanel wielding the red pen!

Dawnna opens up about her personal red pen moment, a wake-up call from her ex-husband, which pushed her to dust off her brilliant ideas and bring them to life. Tune in for an honest conversation about overcoming perfectionism, recognizing self-worth, and the importance of investing in yourself.

2. The Perfectionism Trap: Dawnna shares her battle with perfectionism, which often held her back from completing projects because they didn't meet her "perfect enough" standard.

4. Client Challenges: Dawnna highlights a common struggle among her clients - they often stall not because they fear failure, but because they don't believe their work is worthy of success or investment.
