Transforming Criticism into Courage: Embracing Your Dreams Despite the Trolls

Oh my darlings!

I am positively thrilled to be right here with each and every one of you, diving deep into the beautiful art of handling those pesky trolls and criticism in our businesses. You know, it’s a topic that really hits home, doesn’t it?

Together, we’re embarking on this transformative journey, exploring the profound impact of online abuse. We’re drawing those parallels between the virtual attacks we face and the very real threats out there in the world. It’s all about recognizing the different shades of feedback, and leaning on our circle for that unwavering support that helps us combat the shame that often accompanies online criticism.

I’m opening up about my own journey of awakening to racial justice. It’s been a whirlwind, let me tell you, navigating those tough discussions on cultural appropriation. But it’s all about growth, isn’t it? Learning, unlearning and growing, always.

Now, we can’t ignore the emotional toll of online criticism. That’s why I’m urging each and every one of you to prioritize self-care and set those boundaries to protect your precious mental well-being.

This workshop, my loves, it’s about lifting each other up, finding that inner strength to rise above the negativity and shining brightly.

“Leonie gets results FAST.”

“Everything Leonie has told me to do has gotten me results FAST. Leonie has given me concrete steps and tips which have pumped up my business growth. She knows what she is talking about. She has taught me another way to do business. I can honestly say the reason I was able to leave my teaching job and build my business is because of Leonie.”

– Hibiscus Moon, founder of Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy

“Leonie has razor-sharp strategies…”

“Leonie’s razor-sharp insights and business strategies leave no stone unturned when it comes to creating a business and life you love.

If you get the chance to learn from her, go for it!”

I love Leonie’s no nonsense simple, easy and fun business guidance. Her courses are filled with real information that is current and relevant. Leonie’s allowed me to follow my dream of having my own business, seeing her walk your talk, she has paved the way for so many other women to follow their hearts and dreams too!

When I embarked on my journey with Leonie I got more than a high quality teacher and great results… I literally covered the cost for my training within the first term!

Munira van der Zijl

Yoga teacher

I began my business in 2011 from Leonie’s trainings and even in 2019, it’s barely changed due to the clarity Leonie’s work helped me find.

I would recommend Leonie for anything that is a meld of down-to-earth with that intuition we all have inside.

Katy-Rose Bye

Coach

Leonie touches a part of me that wants to shine, wants to make things, wants to manifest. I feel touched in the part of me that is vulnerable and strong, like two sides of a coin. I know many things already, but being touched by a teacher in that sacred part of my heart is rare.

With Leonie’s help I have already created a book, inspirational cards, online courses and a happy life.

Leonie is straightforward, fearless and a breath of fresh air.”

I love how direct she is when it comes to answering tough questions. Her course is organized, easy to access and beautiful. She’s been a breath of fresh air.

The course HAS paid for itself already! My husband is on board because you make perfect sense to him as well.

“An unbelievable, inspiring journey…”

“The journey of Leonie’s Book course is unbelievable and goes on and on.

It was inspiring, challenging, lovingly, doubting, exhausting, heart melting, wondering, energetic, out of this world, encouraging and soooo fun to work with you this way.

And I always come back to get a nugget of wisdom and a sweet energy kick.

So all in all, I’m so in LOVE with your courses and down to earth honesty! I’m a total LEONIE – FREAK and well I have to confess: I’m a “Leonie-Addict”!

Leonie Dawson is a Superb Creative!

She knows when to stand strong and when to go gentle in her guidance of Creatives. 

Her enormous humor and light-hearted laughter is Goddess-Sent. She is a rare combination of the Divine Feminine and the Purely Practical!

She’s got and gives The Big Gifts —the ones that keep on Giving!

Thank you Leonie from the bottom of my heart!

There’s nothing like an Aussie chick giving you a kick up the bum to get things done!

I love love loved this course! 

The webinars had laugh out loud moments and the Facebook group is a brilliant way to stay motivated. 

I didn’t expect it to be so much fun. If only Leonie was there telling me to just fucking do it for all my creative pursuits. At the price it’s a no brainer!!

Works like magic to keep my focus straight!

It motivates the shit out of me. Makes me love and accept myself. Very inspirational and magical in bringing creativity fron imagination into realization. Thank you!

“Leonie’s the tough love you need to stop making excuses and make your dreams happen.

Leonie’s course helped me finally break through so many internal blocks, low self-esteem and resistance to finish two books that have been sitting in my heart and mind for over 10 years. 

Leonie has a genuine level of warmth, generosity and ‘get er’ done’ attitude. 

Sitting in stagnation and procrastination when it comes to your dreams is a form of self-annihilation. It’s soul crushing. Leonie is such a beautiful guide that got me through.

I’m excited to do the course again (and again and again). 

Doing the course along with her biz and life workbooks has created the foundation, guidance and map I need to stay on track.

“Above and Beyond!”

I have watched Leonie not only get her creative projects done herself, but she has masterfully increased her life and business over the last decade.

Something else I have come to know about Leonie is that she over-delivers. There is always something extra, something more! 

Thank you sweet, precious Leonie for your life-changing magic!

“The course is done!”

I suspect it needs tweaking but I’m out of my own asshole and that’s what really matters.
The course is amazing because if taken in the right spirit it doesn’t allow for over-thinking. It’s clear and encouraging, loving it.

Biggest AHA is to give myself permission to rename as I go- if I don’t get traction it’s a matter of tweaking, not starting from the beginning.

Uhm, I can see daylight (since I’m out of my own asshole). It’s done, that’s major.

My list is at 44 (and all friends + family) so up next is proper marketing and making moolah!

“I’ve learned that I really do know a lot more than I thought I did…”

Very fun and keeping me going!

Loved getting help to narrow what I have to offer, title help, and realizing less really is more.

I have all of my bullet points scripted and ready to put them into slides.

I’ve learned that I really do know a lot more than I thought I did about how to run a successful canvas painting party business.

Things I think are just common sense are not always that way to others.

I’m also learning that really people sometimes just need to do the course so they aren’t doing it ‘alone’. They need the encouragement.
