Good morning! But what if it's not?

What if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed or in a body that betrays you?

You don't have to let the way your day starts tank your whole day can change course.

But how, you might ask?

I can answer that from 40 years of experience waking up feeling like a rusty bag of nails.

Having narcolepsy my whole life makes my mornings very challenging.

And you wouldn't know that from watching my content, but this (smile) doesn't happen on accident.

I have to love off what I woke up with first every single day for like 40 years.

Why? Because if I let the mood I woke up in be the one that's in charge, I'm going to have a much harder day.

“There, there, dear. I know you feel like a roadkill, but your dopamine will come online soon.” Self-soothing is a skill.

That's what it looks like to lead yourself with love.

Imagine yourself having something to start your day with a step in the right direction and getting help changing your direction to something less stabby.

Or, just enjoying the humor and wisdom that I put out here to keep you on your path.

I'll be here at 6:30 Pacific Standard Time weekdays with a quick couple minutes of real talk, no fluff, and “get back out there!” encouragement.

Dawn Super

About the Author Dawn Super is an empowerment coach, speaker, and writer who helps people thrive — not someday, but right now, exactly as they are. She knows firsthand what it’s like to live with lifelong health challenges, including narcolepsy, and has made it her mission to teach others how to show up for themselves with compassion, courage, and a little bit of humor and sass. Known for her “mindset magic strategies,” Dawn brings a blend of practical tools, soulful insight, and real-talk encouragement to anyone ready to stop waiting for permission to love themselves. Her work speaks especially to those who’ve felt left out, misunderstood, or stuck on the sidelines — the misfits, the dreamers, the rebels, and the overcomers. When she’s not coaching, creating, or writing, you might find her meditating at the beach, virtually socializing, or laughing (probably at one of her own jokes). Dawn believes that self-love isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a radical act of rebellion in a world that profits from your doubt. You can connect with Dawn, learn more about her coaching program and explore the many personal growth courses in her membership at DawnSuper.com.
