Leonie Dawson
Internationally best-selling author and creator of an 8 figure creative company Leonie Dawson (dat's me!) brings her ridiculous sense of humour and wild oversharing to the podcast world! What is this podcast about? Who f*cking knows! It's all a glorious mystery! But it will likely be a delicious buffet of self help, business, creativity, marketing, family and life... and I might just introduce you to some of my favourite people if I'm called. Mostly, I'm just here to create and share... and hope that it touches your heart in just the way it needs. (Pronouns: She/They)
My loves,
Today, I want to share with you a message from the angels, as I hear them. Take a deep breath and enjoy.

I NEVER thought I would talk about this publicly... because this mistake still wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes. Every time I think about it, I flinch, then shudder, then start laughing. It's mortifying and awful and so very, very funny.
Be prepared to listen, shudder & weep with laughter.

Today's a short, talk shit episode.
That's right, if you look at the clock you'll see the big hand is pointing to the "talk shit" symbol.
I'm chatting about my digital declutter and how it's been making my feel, what I've been reading recently, family and just ongoing life shit.
Love it!

Honestly, even if the only thing I did with this 21 day challenge experiment was to let go of social media, it would have been a life-changing success.
Challenge #1 of No Social Media is now formally complete, though I still need to do a write up about the final results and how I’m moving forward with it. And even though the challenge is complete, I’m not returning to my old ways. This was far too good to be free of social media. It is my new normal.
I’ve been moodling about what to do for Challenge #2...
P.S. Read the companion blog post to this episode HERE!
In this episode I am off to the dentist. What an adventure!

I’ve been around this online marketing jam for a long ass time now. 16 years or so? I’ve brought in over $11 million online. I’ve coached tens of thousands of people to sell more online.
And I still see the same sales page mistakes, over and over.
So I’m going to write a list now, so when someone asks me to look at their sales page, I can spare my voice box and send them here instead.
And just to be super abundantly clear: you want to fix these mistakes TODAY. NOW. ASAP.
Because you are leaving shit tonnes of money on the table. Sales pages, without a doubt, are the biggest factor in your business’ success. It’s so so so so SO worth the time and energy to make it better. You will be rewarded. And by rewarded, I mean $$$$$$$$$.
Righto… on with the show.
Spot the mistakes you are making… then go fix them NOW! Images & links & transcript here: https://leoniedawson.com/10-mistakes-you-are-making-with-your-sales-page/

Fuck me it’s my favourite time of year. Not because of that whole Christmas thing, though that’s fine too. This is something better than that. I GET TO TALK ABOUT MY FAVOURITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR. AND IT IS WORKBOOK SEASON!
If you’ve been around these parts for any length of time, you’ll know this is an annual tradition I’ve been doing since 2012. You can find all the yearly book lists here.
As always, this is not a list of the best books published for the year – just the books I read in that year. As they say in High Fidelity, the records are organised autobiographically.
AND… for a special bonus… I’ll even throw in my favourite TV shows + courses this year too. DON’T SAY I DON’T SPOIL YOU.
You can also listen as a podcast episode below, if that’s more up your alley!
Dearests,
It’s a momentous day for me.
A couple of hours ago, I heard the words I’ve been waiting for all my life.
“Congratulations, you have ASD.”
I’ve known intuitively for six years now that Asperger’s is who I am, a part of my makeup, the constellation of my stars. And after giving myself the gift of a formal diagnostic process this year, I know it firmly and officially now too.
ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) has given me deep and wide blessings in my life:
-
my sensitivity to seeing life in full colour
-
my ability to hyperfocus like a motherfucker
-
my obsession with learning
-
my quirkiness & my bluntness
-
my way of seeing things.
It’s also brought with it challenges too:
-
how much I am emotionally & physically exhausted by life & social situations
-
how hard I struggled socially as a kid, feeling like I’d missed out on an important chip in the operating system
-
how hard it is to understand other people sometimes.
One big thing I want to share is this: girls & women usually are not diagnosed with ASD because most psychologists & society at large is only aware of the ASD traits in boys & men. Girls & women have a completely different checklist. We aren’t the typical “Sheldons” – we are much better at learning how to mask socially, but it comes at a cost.
If you asked me if I would wish it away, I would never. ASD is part of what makes my life richer, deeper & more divine. ASD is one of my superpowers.
I’m so fucking PROUD to be neurodiverse. This world needs ALL OF US, with our rainbow of brains, abilities, genders & sexualities to be whole & magnificent.
I love you,
Leonie
Also: ASD AF

NEW on the podcast: The Nazi Episode. Aka: I can't believe we have to actually talk about this shit in 2020.
You can listen to "Leonie Dawson Refuses To Be Categorised" on your favourite podcast app, or just by yelling "OK GOOGLE! PLAY LEONIE DAWSON REFUSES TO BE CATEGORISED" at your robot assistant.
Also: before you bother fucking debating whether using neo-nazi symbols are ok or not, do me a favour and just unfollow me now. Give my banning finger a wee break. Otherwise, if you'd like to continue hanging out, drop me a fist of solidarity in the comments... in the shared understanding that fascism, neo-nazism, racism & all the other bullshitisms are NOT COOL, let's do that.
GO ON. FIST ME. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.
https://leoniedawson.com/podcast-the-secret-of-the-elders/
Darlings,
I want to talk to you about my Elders.
Every village has its Elders.
You know the ones; the ones that navigated through so many long years of this whole "living" business.
The Elders who weren't skewed, jaded or ruptured by the thousand moments where the heart stood still, when hope was lost, when days were sodden with grief, when things didn't go according to plan.
I was blessed.
I have three elders.
Let me tell you a little bit about each of them.
Love always, Leonie
Let's talk about creativity today.
Too often I hear people undermine their own creativity or creative experience.
In my opinion, the only requirement to be an artist is to be born.
Let's talk about this!
https://leoniedawson.com/podcast-the-creative-manifesto/
https://leoniedawson.com/2020-biz-update/
I got an email this week, asking me if I could share a post or a podcast talking about how I closed my long-running membership site after 9 years, and what that feels like a year later. (BTW – if you’ve got anything you want me to write about or do a podcast about, just pop me an email! I love requests!)
So I thought I’d talk about that… and give you a long ass business overview as well while I’m at it!
https://leoniedawson.com/podcast-special-election-day-podcast/
New podcast episode out.
A love letter.
A balm.

Enjoy!

Is anyone else VERY, VERY overwhelmed right now?
Because I sure am!!!
Let's talk about everything going on in my life right now.
https://leoniedawson.com/podcast-overwhelmed-me-fuckin-too/
Let's talk about one of the most common questions I get: "How can I grow a big audience?!"
I have been talking about goals and the importance of goal setting for approximately a billion fucking years…
Let’s talk about:
- the fact that 80% of peeps don’t set goals (WTF?!)
- 16% think of their goals but don’t write them down
- 3% of people think of goals AND write them down
- only 1 fucking percent of people think of their goals, write them down andrevisit them more than once
Guess which group were the higher achievers? Hot tip: the 1%
Don’t forget you can use tools to help create and set goals!
If you haven’t already, make sure you check out the Goals Planners!
I made them to serve myself as I transitioned into motherhood.
I knew I needed to set some goals to get through that year, but there was nothingon the market back then.
I love rainbows, and colour and glorious joy… So I CREATED it.
Now they’ve been used over 400’000 people WORLD. WIDE.
Fucking mind boggling.
So if you’re a Goal Getter already, I wanna hear about the biggest blessings and miracles because of the workbooks!
It’s never too late to get started on the workbooks, or your goals!
Today I’m talking about my “retire at 45” plan!

- Deep breathing
- Asking gentle questions
- Validating her emotions and feelings: “Stop, Drop, Empathy”

- I told her all the reasons I love her (she was STOKED by this, it totally engaged her)
I also:

When we thought about our goals for 2020, I don’t think many of us thought we’d be at where we are now: on lockdown or close to it, unable to leave the house for fear of infection.
A month ago, I still thought Coronavirus was a joke, a hyper-inflated sense of panic. I had no idea that soon, we’d pull our children out of school, stay at home with religious fervour and change the very fabric of our life. And yet, here we are.

Today, I have the deep honour of introducing you to my friend Josh Weed.
Josh is a gay Mormon who married a woman. He is a viral blogger and has appeared on The Ricki Lake Show, Nightline and ABC News.
He’s not just that though – how can you possibly contain the magnificence of a soul? Josh is a family and marriage therapist. He’s a soul willing to do the deep work of healing himself. He shares his innermost agonies, fears and spiritual awakenings with a raw and real and rare honesty. I believe his story of coming to accept and own his sexuality has the power to change the world.

So, you’re here. Suddenly homeschooling because of COVID-19 shutdowns. And it may not be a conscious choice for you. It may not seem like a great option right now. It’s been forced upon you by a global pandemic.
Show notes, full blog post and photos: http://www.leoniedawson.com/corona-homeschooling
I know the world is FTFO (freaking the fuck out) right now about Coronavirus (as we should be).
And that it’s calling forth change in every area of our lives – social, work, schooling, money.
I wanted to share with you my thoughts on it, and the opportunities that are possible during this time… so I’ve released a special podcast episode about it.
