In this talk, Dawn shares a journey that led her from coaching affluent professional women for nearly 30 years to mentoring and coaching women residents in a prison halfway house. When she learned what the women residents really need she was surprised--and you may be too. If we want to get real about prison reform, let’s focus on a shared goal: people leaving prison should be better off than when they arrived. Dawn shares a few things she’s doing to make inner reform a starting point and how you too could make a difference in the life of someone who is really ready for a new beginning. Dawn Morningstar (her given name) is an advocate for women, award-winning author, master life coach, speaker, podcast host, educator, creator of Facial Serum #18, and the grateful mother of two venerable daughters. Dawn founded Venerable Women in 2013 as a sisterhood, a philosophy, and a movement with and for women who choose to manifest a kind and loving world, starting within themselves. Her life-changing signature program, Living LOVE (Lives Of Venerable Expression), inspires hope and transformation for the creation of a new world.
In 2018, Dawn founded the Venerable Women Empowerment Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit, that supports women leaving prison to transform their lives. Her 10-member board of directors is extraordinarily dedicated and stands with Dawn to make positive change in our world.
