If talking about £100K months makes you feel uncomfortable, triggered, or like it’s “for other people,” this episode will shift everything. Dawn breaks down why scaling to £100K months is far more achievable than most founders believe and why the real barriers aren’t strategy, the market, or the economy… they’re mindset, conditioning, and business models that were never built to scale. You’ll learn why money isn’t something to fear or hide, how to rebuild your relationship with it, and what actually creates predictable cash flow. Dawn also reveals the three biggest reasons founders plateau and what you must change if you want to scale sustainably, profitably, and without burning out. Highlights: (01:12) Why money feels “taboo” & the mindset behind £100K months (07:15) The real blockers to scaling (and why it’s rarely strategy) (14:21) What predictable cash flow really requires (22:17) How CEOs think vs how stressed founders think (25:50) Daily actions that move you toward £100K months (29:36) Three reasons founders stay stuck and how to break through Connect with Dawn: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dawnmcgruer/ Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

If you’ve ever found yourself pulling back right when everything is going well, this episode is going to hit home. Today, Dawn breaks down the Success Shadow — the hidden fears, nervous system responses, and identity shifts that get triggered as you scale.

This is for founders who are ready to expand, lead with clarity, and grow in a way that supports both strategy and nervous system capacity. Let’s talk about what’s really happening under the surface when you’re on the edge of your next level.

If you've ever felt stuck at a revenue ceiling, undercharged even when you knew better, or hesitated to invest in your own growth — this episode will reveal why. In this conversation, Dawn breaks down how childhood money narratives become subconscious "scripts" that shape every financial decision you make in business. You’ll learn how these patterns form, how they show up as scarcity or abundance behaviours, and how to rewrite your money identity so you can scale with confidence. This is for founders who are ready to break old patterns, adopt a CEO-level money mindset, and build a business that grows because they feel safe to grow. Let’s talk about the identity upgrade behind every financial leap. Highlights:(01:12) What money scripts are + how they form (07:15) Scarcity vs abundance patterns (14:21) How money identity shapes pricing and scaling (22:17) Rewriting your script with neuroscience (25:50) Client story: raising rates with confidence (29:36) Daily habits for an abundant mindset Connect with Dawn: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/dawnmcgruer/ LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnmcgruer/ Website → https://dawnmcgruer.com/ Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

If you've ever felt like you’re missing opportunities, stuck in the same patterns, or unable to break through to your next level, this episode will completely shift how you see your own mind. In this episode, Dawn breaks down how your Reticular Activating System (RAS) is filtering your reality, how your dominant question directs your success, and how to train your brain to look for opportunities instead of obstacles. You’ll learn how to rewire your thinking, prime your RAS daily, and build the mindset of a CEO who scales with clarity and confidence. This is for the founders who are ready to condition their mind for growth, tune into opportunities, and create momentum with intention.

In this episode of Dawn of a New Era, I’m diving into one of the most underestimated yet powerful moves you can make as a business owner, writing a book. From my first collaborative book Character Building at just 21, created after losing six loved ones in six months, to publishing Dynamic Digital Marketing with Wiley in 2020, books have been a pivotal part of my personal healing, my credibility as a thought leader, and the growth of my businesses. I share the behind-the-scenes of both journeys, the pain and joy of writing, the reality of self-publishing versus landing a traditional deal, and how a book can act as a launchpad for bigger opportunities in speaking, media, and business. Whether it’s about leaving your legacy, building authority, or opening doors you didn’t know existed, this episode will inspire you to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start writing. Highlights: (01:42) The story behind Dawn’s first book at 21 (06:28) From trauma to legacy: why Character Building was written (12:47) How Dynamic Digital Marketing came to life with Wiley (19:15) The unexpected publishing deal that started in a junk folder (26:03) Why a book instantly elevates credibility and opportunity (33:41) Should you self-publish or go with a publisher?

Imposter Syndrome: Turning Fear into Fuel In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that affects almost every entrepreneur at some stage of their journey: imposter syndrome. We often think that once we’ve achieved success, the doubts will disappear. But the truth is imposter syndrome shows up at every level, and it doesn’t magically vanish when you hit a milestone. What matters is how you manage it, reframe it, and even use it as a superpower. I’m sharing my own story of experiencing imposter syndrome, even while signing a publishing deal and releasing my books, and the techniques I use to turn fear into growth. You’ll learn how to spot self-sabotage, rewire your brain, and create a new narrative so you can step into opportunities with confidence. Highlights: (02:14) Why imposter syndrome never really goes away (05:42) How fear can actually be a catalyst for growth (09:16) My story of facing imposter syndrome with a book deal (13:39) The brain’s role in amplifying uncertainty (18:07) A practical exercise to reframe irrational fears (22:26) Turning doubt into confidence with micro proofs (26:11) Why embracing imposter syndrome makes you stronger Connect with Dawn Follow Dawn on Instagram: @dawnmcgruer Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

In this episode of Dawn of a New Era, I’m talking about the hidden identity ceiling that quietly holds so many CEOs back from hitting 100k months and beyond. Because here’s the truth, you can have the best funnels, the dream team, and proven strategies, but if your identity hasn’t shifted into the version of you who earns at that level, your subconscious will sabotage your success. I share how confidence, clarity and conviction shape scaling, why your brain works hard to protect your current identity, and how to rewire it using neuroscience, psychodynamics, and quantum psychology. Plus, I’ll walk you through the daily embodiment practices I use myself and with clients to collapse time and step into your next-level CEO self. This episode is for the entrepreneurs who are ready to stop hitting the same ceiling and start thinking, feeling and scaling like the top 1%. Highlights: (04:12) Identity as the ceiling to success (09:27) The invisible line that keeps CEOs stuck at the same level (15:33) Why strategy fails without mindset alignment (21:56) Quantum psychology and collapsing the gap between who you are and who you want to be (29:41) Daily embodiment practices to rewire your brain (36:58) How to step into your 100k month identity today Connect with Dawn: Instagram: @dawnmcgruer Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

In this episode of Dawn of a New Era, I’m opening up about one of the hardest but most transformative chapters of my life, scaling after loss. Grief has a way of stripping everything back to what really matters. After losing six loved ones in a short space of time, my priorities, my energy, and even my business completely shifted. What once felt urgent no longer did, and I began to scale from a place of urgency, alignment, and legacy. I share how grief shaped me as a CEO, how it helped me say no more often, take bigger risks, and create my first book Character Building, a legacy project born from pain but fuelled by purpose. This episode is for anyone navigating loss while still building their business. It’s raw, real, and a reminder that health, wealth and happiness must exist in equal measure if we’re to scale sustainably. Highlights: (02:15) How grief strips away the noise and clarifies what matters (07:03) Scaling with urgency and taking imperfect action (12:41) The story behind Character Building and channeling pain into purpose (19:25) Why scaling doesn’t mean doing more, it means saying no more (24:58) Creating boundaries, legacy work, and aligned action (30:44) Health, wealth and happiness: the three pillars for every CEO Connect with Dawn: Instagram: @dawnmcgruer Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

If you’ve ever thought the only thing holding you back from scaling was finding the perfect strategy, this episode is going to change everything. Because here’s the truth, strategy alone won’t take you to your next level. The real barriers to success are the hidden beliefs, habits and stories we carry without even realising. In this episode, I’m diving into the mindset shifts that unlock real growth, the neuroscience behind success, and why rewiring your brain is just as important as scaling your business. Highlights: (01:42) Why 80% of success is mindset and 20% is strategy (05:19) The hidden ways your brain filters out opportunities (11:56) How unconscious identity can sabotage scaling (18:33) The role of psychodynamics in breaking success barriers (26:48) Why founders must work with their brain, not against it (34:17) Rewiring your brain to think, feel and scale like the 1% Connect with Dawn Follow Dawn to learn more about mindset, scaling strategies, and business growth coaching Connect with Dawn: Instagram @dawnmcgruer @dawnofanewerapodcast Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dawnamcgruer LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/businessconsort/ Web www.dawnmcgruer.com This podcast is in association with @HerPowerCommunity - The #1 Female Founders Global Community where connections flourish & growth is intentional https://www.patreon.com/c/herpowercommunity This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podkite - https://podkite.com/privacy

Playing it safe can feel sensible, but what if it is actually what is holding you back?  In this episode, I share why avoiding risk often costs us more than taking it. From early lessons shaped by loss to the surprising science of fear, I explore how reframing risk can open the door to growth, clarity, and freedom. Whether you are hesitating on a bold business move or struggling to make a personal change, this conversation will help you see fear for what it is - data, not a danger sign - and use it to make choices that actually move you forward.

I loved sitting down with Leanne Brown, who many of you will remember from The Real Housewives of Cheshire, but today she’s all about wellness retreats, holistic coaching, and a whole new chapter.  Leanne opened up about her midlife awakening, the messy truth of reality TV, and how charity work reshaped her life.

In this episode, I got to sit down with Susie Batista - an incredibly inspiring entrepreneur whose journey has taken her from the skies as an air stewardess to the world of high-end interior design and now full-time property development. Susie shared how she pivoted from a fast-paced airline career to staging homes, trusting her instincts and following the signs along the way.  She opened up about juggling family life, building two businesses with her husband, and the role that mindset, mentorship, and a little bit of faith played in their success. What really stuck with me was Susie’s reminder that asking for help and sharing your vision can open unexpected doors - sometimes literally leading to six-figure investments. If you’ve ever wondered how to grow a business with heart, manage high-stakes clients, or sell your company with confidence, Susie’s insights are gold. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

If you’ve ever thought scaling your business means working more hours, creating more content or endlessly launching, this one’s going to stop you in your tracks.  In this episode, I’m sharing the truth about what it really takes to hit consistent high-income months - and spoiler alert, it’s not what you’ve been told.  This is for the women who are ready to lead like CEOs, not overworked content creators.  Let’s talk about what actually works.
