Ep13: What Career Women Should do Differently on their Birthdays

The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast - with Dr. Dawn

Hello ladies, and Welcome to Episode 13 of The Career Woman’s Secret Playbook Podcast! I’m your host, Dr. Dawn, CEO/Founder of Dr. Dawn ShopTalk and in Today’s episode we’re gonna talk about some things that you may want to be doing a LITTLE differently on your Bday. If you’re scratching your head right now, no worries – MORE will be revealed shortly.
Ok Ladies, Let’s Get to It: Confession time—I absolutely LOVE birthdays!

I have my family to blame for this one because they spoiled us kids rotten on our birthdays. Not only was it the one day a year where we didn’t have to do our chores BUT we literally did not have to lift a finger (And I mean we really hammed it up—we needed assistance even getting up and down the stairs, out of a chair, etc. I am not kidding). This was such a special day for us that I was not surprised when each and every one of my nephews could sing the birthday song (and the birthday rap—don’t get me started! Ha!) AND pose perfectly for a picture before the age of three! I am very blessed that my husband and our friends have been willing to continue to pay the price for all my birthday cheesiness and are willing to be seen with me, Birthday Girl crown and all. That feeling of gratitude is what brings me to the three things I did differently on my birthday this year, and to get us started, I want you to think of what i call The 3 Rs: Rethink, Recapture, and Reclaim.
1) Rethink the 1st Hour of Your Birthday - Now, I go into a lot more detail on all 3 of these steps in today's episode, but in a nutshell, I believe that if you do that, you can’t help but to feel grateful that you have another day to be alive AND another day to enjoy everything that life has to offer.
2) Recapture Memory Lane - In other words, if you think about how much your life may have changed over the past year, you will feel grateful for the memories and you will anticipate the amazing memories you can now look forward to.
Reclaim the Year Ahead - Taking ownership of what you can/cannot control on your actual birthday is a powerful thing. It helps you appreciate all of the opportunities that you had in the last year and all of the wonderful opportunities you have awaiting you.
Thanks for joining us - see you next time!
