Inside, she helps you understand why it feels like everything you wanted was stolen from you, and how to see the missing piece that’s actually being built for you right now. If you’ve been scared you’ll never get what you lost, this conversation will remind you why your story isn’t over, it’s just getting a better rewrite.

You know thoughts create feelings. You understand that you create your own reality. You've read all the books, done all the courses, and can explain these concepts perfectly to your friends. So why can't you actually LIVE them when life gets messy? In this episode, Dorothy breaks down the real reason most people stay stuck in the knowing phase and reveals the three bridges that take you from intellectual understanding to embodied living. If you're tired of being a spiritual scholar who can't access her own wisdom when she needs it most, this episode will change how you approach transformation forever.

When your breakup leaves you wondering how to create a life that’s actually bigger and better than the one you had with your ex, the advice out there usually falls short. “Just move on,” “go no contact,” or “time heals all.” But none of that shows you how to design a life that feels extraordinary on your terms. In this episode, I’m sharing the 3 steps of self-authorship. A framework that will help you stop living in reaction to your ex and start writing your own story. You’ll learn how to decide who you are without them, how to author your emotional experience instead of being hijacked by it, and how to create experiences that make your new life impossible to ignore. If you take these 3 self authoring steps today, by the end of this week you’ll feel like the main character of your own life instead of a supporting role in your ex’s story.  The Bigger & Better Life Mastermind: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/biggerbetterlifemastermind/ If you’d like to know if this mastermind is a fit for YOU, email us at dorothy@dorothyabjohnson.com with three dates/times (including your timezone) so we can hop on a call.

After a breakup, one of the most common (and painful) questions I hear is: “Who am I without them?” If you don’t know who you are apart from your ex, you can’t clearly see what you want, what’s possible, or how to build a life that’s truly yours. Instead, you risk creating a life that’s just a reaction to the breakup, or worse, one that keeps you tied to the person who left. In this episode, I’m sharing the exact process I use with my clients to help them uncover who they are without their ex. Inside, you’ll learn why knowing yourself is the foundation for not wanting your ex, how it changes the way you date (or don’t), and why it’s the only way to create a bigger and better life that feels authentic instead of accidental. You’ll walk away with a framework, five activation codes, that will help you finally shift from obsessing over them to becoming obsessed with your own life.

When heartbreak hits, it can feel unbearable, like you’ll never stop hurting, never find love again, and that maybe the problem is you. In this episode, I sit down with Braveheart alumni Anne, who knows that feeling all too well. After her breakup, she was consumed by fear, self-doubt, and the thought that she wasn’t enough. But everything shifted when she learned one powerful concept “I’m allowed to.” This simple reframe helped her release the weight of “I should” and “I have to,” and instead step into permission. Permission to not miss him, permission to move on, and permission to live her own life fully. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the loop of pain, wondering what’s wrong with you, Anne’s story and the mindset shift she shares will give you the exact perspective you need to take back your power and start moving forward.
