What WE COVERThe Power of Oxygen 1st is the podcast that shows you how to start putting your own needs first so you can actually breathe again— in life, business, work, relationships, and everything in between.
Putting your own oxygen first is about learning to protect your energy, listen to what you actually need, and build a life that doesn’t require you to run yourself into the ground.
After years of pushing through stress, sleepless nights, overwork, and the pressure to hold everything together, Dot Rock learned the lesson behind the name: just like on an airplane, you have to put your own oxygen mask on first.
Through honest conversations about healing, leadership, business, relationships, support, and personal growth, Dot explores what it looks like to stop living from depletion and start creating a life filled with more clarity, courage, connection, and adventure.
We Have the Conversations that Help You…
✓ Stop putting your own needs at the bottom of the list
✓ Get clearer on what you actually want
✓ Ask for and receive more support
✓ Protect your energy without shrinking your ambition
✓ Build a life that feels full, meaningful, and genuinely yours
