Turning Fear Into Freedom – Dorothy Cook

Published on: 6th September, 2024

Turning Fear Into Freedom

Dorothy Cook 

Fear… for some, it will paralyze you.  For others, it motivates you. For still others, it’s another obstacle blocking your progress.  But for every one of us – it is always there. In some form or fashion. 

If this sounds like you, I want you to pay very close attention to our guest today. I want you to imagine what it would be like to wake up refreshed instead of exhausted; having joy to face the day instead of dreading another day. No longer overwhelmed by the “little things” that always seem to drag you down. Excited to face the day instead of wishing the day would end.  

If thoughts like that resonate with you, then you will definitely be blessed by our guest today. Amen! 

Dorothy Cook has been a certified John Maxwell Coach, Trainer and Speaker for over ten years. She has coached top executives, helping them to establish a strong identity and improve their work / life balance, helping them to reduce their stress, burnout and relationship problems. She is a also a family therapist with over 30 years of experience in dealing with marital and family issues. She is also an ordained minister of the Gospel and the author of a great book that shot her into the “International Best Selling Author” status in 2024. The book is titled, “Grow Your Authority.”  

I know she is going to be imparting some great nuggets of wisdom for us today… amen! 

Help me welcome to the program, Dorothy Cook!  Dorothy, it is so good to have you join us today. I do appreciate it! 

First question I always start with is this… other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Dorothy Cook?” 

How did all of this impact your life and how did you discover the methods you teach about stress reduction? 

You share that 90%+ of all health issues are stress related.  I’ve heard about stress causing heart attacks and high blood pressure. But what are some other health issues stress can cause? 

Can you share with us how the limbic system works with the fight or flight response? How does all of this impact our daily lives, just not those few “high stress” situations that the “fight or flight” response was designed for? 

Is there a tool or a way that the average person can say, “Wait a minute… let me reduce this stressor that is impacting me right now?” 

So, if what I’m understanding is correct, you are saying there are ways to actually “re-wire” our brains neurological pathways? 

How did you discover this system? 

Let’s talk about your book for a minute, “Grow Your Authority.”  Why did you write this book and why publish it now? 

“Grow Your Authority” is the title, do you go into any of these de-stressing techniques that we just talked about? 

Can you give us a few more tips on stress management techniques that you help folks with in your coaching program? 

Dorothy, this has been so interesting. If someone has a question or would like to receive more information, how can they do that? How can someone get in touch with you? 

Your book, “Grow Your Authority,” how can someone obtain a copy of your book? Is it on Amazon? 

I’ll put links to all of this in the show notes below. 

Folks, as we said in the beginning, stress is a killer. Stress not only takes the joy out of your life, but it will take your life as well. 

You need to get in touch with Dorothy Cook right now… while you are thinking about this. Ask your questions, see how she can help you to overcome these stressors that are holding you back. Many times in life, it takes someone from the “outside” looking in to see what is actually going on. Dorothy has the training, the knowledge and the experience to do just that – for you! Amen!  

Drop down into the show notes and click the links right there. Get in touch with Dorothy. Check out her coaching program to see if you would be a good fit and how quickly she can help you take back control of YOUR life. Amen! 

And be sure to click the link to order her book, “Grow Your Authority.” If fact, order a couple of copies and pass one or two out to your friends that you know could use this information as well. Maybe you could even start your own little book club to help each other by using Dorothy’s book. Amen!

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
