Dawn’s Personal Bio
Dawn Placer, founder and owner of ASPYRE Life Coaching, has a story that begins in a place of pain and resolves in a place of power and success. She endured a three-year custody battle as a pre-teen, an attack on the street by a stranger at age 16, a first marriage of 6.5 years with 4.5 years of domestic violence, and a second marriage of 9 years with 3 years of secrets.
In 2010, when her second marriage ended, Dawn became a single mom to her then four-year-old son with nearly no money, no job, and a poor credit score with a bankruptcy.
Stepping up her game, Dawn took action by reaching out for help and staying focused. In five years, Dawn had two different life insurance policies, a great credit score, savings, investments, and even fun money.
In 2017, Dawn and her son moved into their own apartment. In 2018, with her passion to help others, Dawn chose to become a volunteer EMT. Also in 2018, Dawn became an independent health coach for a growing company with the hopes of helping others make healthier choices in their lives, but she knew she had much more to offer.
Now the founder and proud owner of her business ASPYRE Life Coaching, Dawn uses a take-action mindset to drive her life forward. Remaining focused, Dawn has not only broken through, but rocketed high above the proverbial glass ceiling and now wants to share her knowledge with you.
As a survivor of 4.5 years of physical and mental domestic violence and a resident of Monmouth County, NJ, Dawn is a proud supporter of 180 Turning Lives Around. 180 Turning Lives Around provides survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their families with free and confidential programs and resources to process and heal from their experiences. Being the founder of Aspyre Life Coaching has afforded me the ability to help other survivors gain back their confidence, take back their lives, and propel themselves on to feeling independent and truly successful.
