Inspiring Conversations with Jennifer Dawn Gabiola of Dawning Soul

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jennifer Dawn Gabiola.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My business idea came to me as an unexpected divine download. After I lost my successful career as a Design Director, I heard God say to put my personal poetry on t-shirts. It didn’t make sense to my ego, but I went for it because I had nothing to lose since I lost my job and was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. And so my entrepreneurial journey began. I did not have a master plan. My journey has all been organic. One faithful step forward at a time. I sold my poetic t-shirts online and in local boutiques to empower women to own their power and beauty from the inside out. I even got into Houston Fashion Week. Everything came full circle to where I am today using all my branding, marketing, design and style experience to help introverted leaders own their quiet voice and fierce power to build brands that make a big impact.

What I have learned on my path is that there is purpose for everything. As an introvert, I was bullied growing up for being so quiet. So I thought that being quiet was something I had to get over. But through my journey, I learned that being an introvert is truly a gift and to celebrate my quiet power. I am honored to be divinely chosen to help more introverts become the impactful quiet leaders they are born to be. When I look back at my journey, I see that the name of my business was divinely appointed. Dawning Soul – to have infinite opportunities for your spirit to evolve again and again.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My entrepreneurial journey was not an easy road, but it brought me back home to myself. My path was truly a courageous and continual act of faith. Because I lost my successful career and suffered from chronic pain from Rheumatoid Arthritis, I knew in my heart that I couldn’t continue living my life in the same way. I was giving away my power by defining my self-worth by things outside of me like my job and self-image. I was a perfectionist, workaholic and control freak. I knew instinctively that I had to save my own life. So I had to learn to surrender to the process and allow myself to be divinely guided by God one faithful step at a time.

My entrepreneurial journey required me to remain unwaveringly present in order to continually evolve from the inside out. As I faced each challenge, I was ushered into a new level of self-awareness, wisdom and success. I am proud of myself for having the vision, faith and fortitude to have come so far to become the woman I am today. I have become a more whole human being with a deep appreciation for the awe-inspiring magnificence of life.

Who else deserves credit in your story?
Who has played a big role in my success are God, my Mom, my Dad, Brother, my dear friend Jaleh and the Love of my Life, Dez. Without my faith in God, I could not have taken this entrepreneurial journey which has deeply transformed me and brought me back home to my Spirit. With my Mom’s unconditional love and support, I have the unshakable belief to follow my heart. Even though my Dad passed away 9 years ago, his powerful presence continues to give me the courage to follow my dreams and make a lasting and impactful legacy. My Brother’s steadfast commitment to our family continues to create a strong foundation to bravely grow from. My dear friend, Jaleh helped me to see the true power of being gentle and kind with myself. And my Love, Dez, helped me to have the boldness and power to fully express my truth and creative vision to unapologetically pursue my soul-inspired business, divine purpose and awe-inspiring destiny.
