  • Breaking Barriers: Pursuing Dreams Fearlessly with DeeDee Cummings Episode 155 In this episode, host Deneen L. Garrett introduces guest DeeDee Cummings, who is an author, therapist, attorney, and mom from Louisville, Kentucky. DeeDee shares her career journey from being a child protective service worker to becoming an attorney and then transitioning to a therapist to focus on healing. She also discusses how writing became a coping mechanism for her. The conversation touches on the challenges of the legal profession and the transition many attorneys make to other fields. Dreams Are for Everyone DeeDee's experience illustrates that dreams can evolve over time and may not always align with conventional expectations. Starting in a different career path, she transitioned to law school and eventually found her passion in writing and helping others through therapy. This showcases that dreams can change and adapt as individuals grow, discover new interests, and uncover hidden talents. The concept of dreaming extends beyond achieving grandiose goals or seeking fame. DeeDee's dream of bringing her daughter's story to Broadway demonstrates that dreams can be personal, meaningful, and impactful in various ways. Whether it involves writing children's books, initiating a book festival, or pursuing a career in art curation, dreams can manifest in diverse forms and hold significance for individuals at different stages of their lives. DeeDee's message resonates with the idea that dreams are essential for personal growth, fulfillment, and purpose. She encourages listeners to identify their dreams, regardless of size, and actively work towards realizing them. By sharing her own challenges and experiences in pursuing her dreams, DeeDee inspires others to believe in themselves and their aspirations.
