Imperfection in Progress
Dawn Calvinisti
Whether you are busy getting chores done, taking a walk, or on the road, I’d like to invite you to come relax and be imperfect with me.
I'm your host, Dawn Calvinisti and my intention with the podcast is to create a community of imperfect women who are willing to admit it and ditch the mask in order to get unstuck and take action to reach their goals.
Maybe you’re still a people-pleaser, perfectionist or procrastinator or maybe you are recovering from the 3 p’s. Wherever you are in your journey you’ll find less stress and more joy here.
I’ll be interviewing women like you on their journey away from the 3 p’s and into a more fulfilled and purposeful life. We’ll learn how to stress less, lower the bar and truly be our authentic selves.
As a recovering people pleaser, perfectionist and procrastinator who now coaches other women in lowering the stress these roles cause and increase the joy in life I’m here to get answers from our guests and maybe offer some too.Let’s pursue progress no matter how imperfectly!

Focusing on Wellbeing Through Connection with Kate Kripke
Imperfection in Progress
03/29/23 • 29 min
“I think what happens is that we walk around not feeling good inside of our own skin, and part of that is because we've forgotten what it looks like to connect with ourselves before giving to other people all the time. So we end up doing that from such a place of depletion.” - Kate Kripke
Welcome to Imperfection In Progress, a podcast for ambitious women who are people pleasers, perfectionists, or procrastinators. Want to feel less stressed and more joy in your life? Then this is for you. I'm your host, Dawn Calvinisti
On Today’s episode we are learning from Kate Kripke, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Perinatal Mental Health Counselor (PMH-C) who has worked with individuals and groups in periods of transition and change for more than 20 years.
As we discuss how culturally we have accepted so many stereotypes in our roles as women, we also discuss how we can shift into a new way of thinking about ourselves and what roles we choose to take on.
If you’ve ever felt depleted, overwhelmed, lonely, then you’ll find so much encouragement and wisdom in what Kate shares.
I know that community is a huge aspect of our wellbeing, especially our mental wellbeing, but Kate really clarifies what that looks like. I hope you enjoy her insights and find freedom in what she has to offer.

Personal Growth & Trailblazing with Jeanine Hauck
Imperfection in Progress
02/22/23 • 31 min
“And then once you hit your goal, you've moved the marker ahead and okay next goal, next goal. And then you never get to enjoy anything from one goal post to the next. And once you get to that goal, you never really celebrate that either. So where's your enjoyment and where's the love of life in there?” - Jeanine Hauck
Welcome to Imperfection In Progress, a podcast for ambitious women who are people pleasers, perfectionists, or procrastinators. Want to feel less stressed and more joy in your life? Then this is for you. I'm your host, Dawn Calvinisti
On today’s episode I’m excited to share my good friend and accountability partner, Jeanine Hauck, with you.
If you know you are called to something more, and are blazing a trail that others find it hard to relate to, then you’ll definitely love what Jeanine has to say.
As a coach, entrepreneur, wife, and mom to 3 little ones, 5 and under, Jeanine has made it her goal to help women shed their old ways of thinking so they can show up every day as the most authentic version of themselves making it possible for them to create the extraordinary life they are meant for.
Listening to how Jeanine chose to step forward and ask the questions in order to move forward, reminded me that I need to stop feeling like I need to know it all or worry about what others might think.
I know you’re going to relate to so much of what Jeanine shares.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You with Lynnsey Robinson
Imperfection in Progress
05/24/23 • 39 min
“Every human goes into hypnosis every day. You have to go into a state of trance to fall asleep, to wake up, to come out of sleep, to those times where you drive home and you can't remember doing it. Or if you get lost in a book or a movie and you get startled or you cry, there's a part of your mind that thinks it's actually happening. So that's a light state of trance.” - Lynnsey Robinson
Welcome to Imperfection In Progress, a podcast for ambitious women who are people pleasers, perfectionists, or procrastinators. Want to feel less stressed and more joy in your life? Then this is for you. I'm your host, Dawn Calvinisti.
On today’s episode I’m joined by Lynnsey Robinson, a Certified Hypnotherapist and Intuitive Coach. She has spent a decade helping people achieve their BIG personal and success goals, and move past what's been stopping them-- for good.
Lynnsey specializes in helping ambitious women all over the world to clear the subconscious limiting beliefs keeping them stuck, so they can embody their highest potential and manifest their biggest desires automatically.
Through her client work, hypnotherapy membership, and her podcast, "High Vibin' It", she empowers others to harness their ability to attract all the abundance and success that life has to offer.
This is such a fun conversation! We uncover what hypnotherapy really is and what it isn’t. How our subconscious and conscious work and how we can get into our subconscious to help change the beliefs that are holding us back.
Lynnsey is so much fun to talk to! She shares such great examples from her own life of how we can go from being afraid and stuck to living with joy and excitement.
