In this heartfelt episode of the Brain Soul Success Show, Dr. Louise sits down with Dawn Paterson, founder of The Wise Widow, to explore her courageous journey of turning deep personal loss into a mission of helping others heal.

On September 1, 2023, Dawn’s life changed forever when her husband of 32 years, Daryl, passed away. Just three months later, while still in the depths of her own grief, Dawn made the brave decision to transform her pain into purpose by creating The Wise Widow.

With a background in adult education, Dawn brings both compassion and practical wisdom to her grief support programs—offering one-on-one connection calls, small group support, workshops, and retreats. Her vision is simple yet profound: no widow should ever have to walk this path alone.

Dawn courageously stepped into the Brain System process with Dr. Louise. As she shared her story, she uncovered how the weight of grief was showing up not only emotionally, but physically and energetically. Through the Brain System TM, Dawn released layers of heaviness, reconnected with her inner strength, and gained a renewed sense of clarity around her mission. She described the process as deeply freeing—shifting her perspective from simply surviving to truly carrying her husband’s legacy forward with light and purpose.

We cleared energy on two properties and her son’s house sold for $10,000 MORE! We used the BRAIN System TM to clear the property they wanted and that came through with a twist! An even better property came up for less investment. YES! The Power of the BRAIN System!
