By Now Most of You Know...
I am going to be on MTV on Sunday, Aug 10th at 4pm EST 1pm PST.
How does a up and coming life coach land a spot on MTV?
I would like to tell you that I did a crazy publicity blitz and spent a lot of money on advertising and worked tirelessly just to been seen on a national television program. However that is the farthest from the truth. Read on to find out just how it happened....
It really all started with the intent to have more fun and create memories that my children would never forget. "Mom is on MTV!", that is fun and what a memory for the kids!
Out With the Old in With the New.
My 11 year old daughter has been on me to upgrade my cell phone to something that would be more, well, "cool." In her opinion I needed a phone that had a keyboard, took pictures, videos, held my MP3's and looked professional. My pink razr just wasn't doing the trick. It was just too, pre-teen. She assured me that upgrading my cell phone would surely upgrade my image and in turn help me attract more business. So she cut out a picture of a Blackberry Curve and stuck it in my purse, where I would see it often.
The Magical Blackberry.
Well that little picture ended up being enough to motivate me to visit a local shop and see what they had to offer. It turns out, the guy at the counter recommended that same Blackberry Curve for my needs. "The Magical Blackberry" I brought it home that night charged the battery and woke up the next morning expecting miracles.
When Opportunity Knocks..
Are you aware when opportunity knocks? Well, I had just walked in the door of my sister-in-law's house because I was free for the day and had offered to watch her kids for a few hours. We were in the door way getting our shoes off and my phone rang. The sound of my new phone's ringing was still new to me and I normally let it go to voice mail when I am with the kids, however this time I answered the phone. Standing there with 6 kids, 5 under 5, I slid out the door onto the porch so I could talk without the noise of "the littles" in the background. Although they were amazingly quiet, I wanted to ensure that I could hear every word. The voice on the other end of the line said, "Hi, I am a producer from MTV's award winning series 'MADE'. I am looking for a Columbus Life Coach for an episode we are filming in central Ohio. Are you interested?" Well, that is the short version. There really was more to her introduction than that. I asked her to email me the information and I would get back with her later that day. I was totally aware of the opportunity that was at hand.
When I got the call, I also got a call from God. I became very aware that while I am attempting to work mainly with adults right now, I was being directed back to teens. Who knew MTV was on God's payroll! I did! We are all. All good comes from one Source. And all direction from one direction!
I Was Willing
The producer asked if I was interested, but the real question was, "Was I willing?" There I stood, faced with the opportunity to have free publicity by being on national television, however I wasn't feeling all that excited. I was feeling a bit of discomfort. It was a feeling I hadn't had in a while, pure fear! My face on TV? What if I say something entirely stupid? Worse yet, what if I can't help Alex? Well, that last one was entirely ridiculous. What really makes me stand out is that I believe in people. I believe that people can change and I believe that everyone of us is capable of doing whatever our hearts desire. And that belief in people helps to creates amazing change in others. I see it happen every day. And so what if I looked silly or stumbled on my words. I was being asked to coach Alex. It really was about helping her overcome her fears, so the focus would be on her. What do I know about fear? I know that fear is just an indicator of change happening at a cellular level. It is like a warning sign that says something different is happening, check your target before making a move.
So, I checked my target, my life's purpose. "...to cultivate an army of wildly successful women..." That was enough for me.
Yes, I was willing!
Oh, when you know you are being directed by God, there is no fear. Okay, I really did have some strange emotions, but I knew everything would work out great. Whatever I needed to do, I'd know when it was time.
I Was Able
When they asked for a Columbus Life Coach, the answer to the question of being able seemed like an easy yes. However when I found out that Alex was from Tripp City, which is about an hour and a half away from Columbus, the question of being able had be be taken into consideration. Could I shuffle clients if needed? Would I need to cancel any classes? The producer had originally asked me to recap two more times before the competition, which would be even more time out of my schedule. My husband had just left on a business trip for 3 weeks, which means I would also need to consider babysitting. Could I do it? I made the decision that I would make it work. Yes, I was able!
The Results
The entire coaching session with Alex took less than an hour and a half. We met here in Columbus, which was a blessing. Having a camera, 2 actually, in our face for the entire session was a little strange, however I did my best to remain present with Alex during our time together. I had faith in Alex and her ability to pull it together and make it through the next 3 weeks. It turned out that something must have changed. They didn't need me to come back for further coaching sessions. Maybe spending extra time with Jill, the filmer/producer, after the shoot or the coaching session on the phone with Holly Lyons the pro skateboarder/MADE coach had something to do with that?
What I didn't tell the world and I'd like to share with you all here, is that coaching Alex may not have been the reason God wanted me to be there. I think he wanted me there to help Alex and the only way I could do that was through helping those that were working with her.
I was invited back for the final day of filming. I decided to make the trip to the competition in Kettering, Ohio and bring my daughter along. It was a beautiful day. It was great meeting Holly in person. She is a great skater and was gratefull and ready to return to California where she was scheduled to be a stunt double for Miley Cyrus. It was wonderful to see Alex on the skateboard, she looked happier, more confident, and she definitely looked like a skater!
Air time!
I'd love to have you watch with me to see how they take 6 weeks of filming and turn it into an hour long episode. Remember I haven't seen it yet either, so we will all be watching at the same time together! Look for me in the middle of the show and at the end during the competition. I'll be in the audience.
I'd really like to know if anyone sees this or not and what they think. I'd like to do some publicity around this however, the amount of time on the show might not justify it to the press. Any thoughts..?

DAWN, It is a fabulous experience!
I BELIEV YOU WILL CONSTANTLY GET THE OFFERS FROM TV , IT WAS JUST A BEGINING. i MYSELF HAVE BEEN INTERVIEWED SEVERAL TIMES, SMTIMES I GOT CUT, SMTIMES NOT.
I MEAN, IF YOU ARE EXPERT AND NOT AN ACTRESS, YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL REGARDLESS THE FACT HOW MUCH THEY SEE YOUR FACE.
YOU HAD FUN- THIS WAS YOUR INTENTION, AND YOU GOT IT!
IF YOU INTEND FOR MORE PUBLICITY -IT WILL COME!
WHAT WAS YOUR AFFIRMATION FOR FUN? IT WORKS, INDEED.
BLESSINGS

Laura,
I feel so Hollywood, being cut and all. It is not something that happens to everyone, and it does happen to the *STARS* I am truly grateful for the experience. I learned a ton and I just keep getting better and better at coaching people to a higher awareness. Life is good and I know something good will come out of this experience. I still feel it. So I just wait. Who knows. In the mean time, I do what I do and feel great doing it. Or I ought to say, I feel great so I do what I do!
Thanks for checking in on me!
Love and an abundance of Light!
Dawn

Hello my friend!
I was away for the weekend so I just logged on to see what had happened. (Wow...away for the weekend and now its already Thursday! I actually got back on Tuesday :-)) That is very common but still what a fabulous experience! Another cocreator was "disappointed" when Oprah producers had contacted her but in the cut she only had a brief showing...which for that matter was better than our whole 1-2 minute video that they made about CCOR getting cut from the last show on The Secret!!! It will all happen in time!
Keep Shining!
Laura

It truly was a "Where is Waldo" experience!
If you looked closely at the end you could see me by the judging tables. And as pointed out by a dear friend of mine, my name was listed in the credits under "MADE Coaches" at the end along with Holly Lyons and Tony Hawk. So I was in good company.
They cut me out of the final take, I am guessing due to the fact that Tony Hawk came in at the end and something had to give way to the master of skateboarding. I wasn't the only one to be cut from final filming. Jill the Fitness Girl was cut too. You can find some of her cut footage on Made's website. It was actually quite funny!
Lessons Learned
I have gained the experience of being cut. I am in good company. Did you know that Kevin Costner was cut from the final take of one of his first movies? Someone told me he had a big party with all of his friends too!
Experience makes you more aware. And now I will be able to help others deal with similar situations. I can say, "I told the world I was going to be on TV, invited friends over (teens at that!) and experienced how it feels watching the timeline skip right over me."
For me the feeling of disappointment faded as soon as it came. I immediately began to think of my blessings. My friends and family were there and nothing in the world had changed. Except for the fact that I am now wiser and more prosperous than yesterday.
The best part is that I am totally peaceful about this. Life is easy! Now I am off to work on tomorrow's 6am class.
Thanks for watching, if you were there with me. I hope you found it enjoyable.
All the Best!
