  • Cancel Culture/Psychological Safety - Fear of saying the wrong thing!

    Send us Fan Mail

    Today we are talking about psychological safety. Basically, who else is scared of saying something wrong, saying the wrong thing, and being chastised for it. A.k.a cancel culture!

    Cancel culture, discussions about transphobia and reverse racism have become increasingly common over the past few years. And I haven't really felt comfortable talking about it until now, which is kind of ironic, because that's the whole point of the podcast is to overcome being scared of saying what we think.

    In this episode of the podcast, we tackle the topic of overcoming the fear of saying the wrong thing with a relaxed and easygoing attitude. Our host provides practical tips and insights to help you let go of perfectionism and stop sweating the small stuff.

    Let's face it, we've all felt the fear of saying the wrong thing at some point in our lives. But with a little perspective and a lot of self-compassion, you can overcome this fear and learn to communicate with confidence.

    My disclaimer:

    I have I just like to put a little disclaimer out there. Okay. I have absolutely zero animosity towards gay people, trans people, like literally any subsection of society that you can think of as a minority.  I have absolutely no issues. I don't want people to be like, Oh my gosh, she's so racist, because that's kind of the point. That's where I'm gonna get to today.

  • What will happen if TikTok gets banned?

    Send us Fan Mail

    Is TikTok going for good? So today we're talking about my social media guilt, not guilt, because I use it frequently, but guilt because I post on it.  And we're going to talk about the potential banning of TikTok and how people are going to feel about that. What do I think the landscape of social media looks like for the future? 

    Hi, guys. Welcome back to my podcast, Backseat Positivity. I'm Dawn. I'm a doctor. Let that sink in. And I discuss literally lots of random shit. But we have a good time also doing it. We turn things in a positive way. We discuss meanings of life and existential things and all sorts, really, but mainly positive stuff.

  • How to deal with an existential crisis.

    Send us Fan Mail

    The highlights of the episode: 
    Rolling the rollercoaster of emotions. The scariest cup you’ve ever seen. The death trap of existentialism and death. People just want to be cheap legends. Lack of money and the lack of purpose. How to deal with an existential crisis. How to find your purpose.

    In general, I'm feeling like my life is a bit pointless. I think this is a feeling that a lot of people get. And it's a common human feeling. It's a common human issue. And that is the issue of existentialism... having an existential crisis.

    Today sounds less positive. I'm sorry. But I always twist it in a good way, like that. Twisting.

  • What I learnt about the world from being a doctor.

    Send us Fan Mail

    Hi guys, welcome back to my podcast back seat positivity. 

    I am Dawn, I'm a doctor, and I discuss things, all things positive and happy. 

    Today, I'm talking about what I learned from being a doctor, we're going to be talking about fun things, controversial things and stories of what I've been through.

    You know, some of these things are a little bit intimate, some of them are a little bit rude. And some of them are, as in rude as naughty. 

    Some of them are a little bit sensitive. So I would listen with caution. Expect I'll give you a little warning before some of them. I do talk about death and dying and serious illnesses. So if that's something that's going to bother you, then I'll warn you beforehand, but maybe just skip to the next chapter.
