    Send us Fan Mail

    Hi guys, welcome back to my podcast. I am Dawn, I'm a doctor and I have an I'm still currently going through an episode of burnout. Why does it keep happening? 

    Well, I'm gonna tell you why. And the thing is, you are probably burnt out. Maybe you're not, but you probably suffer from burnout in the past, and not realised it or not done anything about it. And there is a very easy explanation for that. 

    Today we're talking about burnout versus depression, because I think that's a very important distinction to make. Causes of burnout, how to get over burnout, and how to stop it from happening in the future.

    If you're new here, by the way, we discuss all things positive lifestyle, happiness, you know, the good stuff, get your daily dose of positivity, rather than scrolling and listening to shit.

  • Why I'm obsessively grateful for my sofa!

    Send us Fan Mail

    I'm Dawn, I'm a doctor, and I am the host of this fun train. So today, we are talking about a recent thing that has happened to me. And that is why I'm obsessively grateful for my sofa. 

    You might think, Dawn, how did you get to this conclusion? Well, it, it's been a turbulent time, if you follow my YouTube channel, you might have noticed my recent escapades with my living room. But if you haven't, don't worry, I'll be discussing it. And we'll be getting into what happened. With my living room. 

    We'll also just be generally talking about gratitude. It's been in the media a lot, especially to do with like mindfulness and things. So I in the past very much struggled with gratitude. It's very hard to do. But there's a trick that I have developed recently, I've been like, oh my god, now I'm so grateful for things. 

    So we're going to be doing gratitude, mindfulness, talking about the mindfulness journey. My sofa story, another story after that, but that's a secret story. And then we're gonna be talking about things that I'm grateful for. Some of them are concrete, some of them are abstract. So stick around.
