Breaking The Silence On Mental Health: The Path To Healing Guilt And Shame To Rediscovering Yourself And Finding Purpose Again With Karena Dawn


Listen Later

Today's topic I know, especially in our world today, is critically important. I brought on mental health advocate, Karena Dawn. In our conversation we discuss how to navigate shame, guilt and isolation that come with mental health issues. I know each and everyone of us at sometime in our life has experienced this themselves or at very least with someone they love. So many live in silence and the silence is what is hurting ourselves and others. My hope is the conversation will help start a path of healing or how to help another suffering in silence.

Welcome my guest, Karena Dawn is a co-founder of Tone It Up, the leading women's fitness community, the founder of The Big Silence, the mental health nonprofit foundation, and host of The Big Silence Podcast, a leading mental health and self-development podcast.

Karena has authored several books focused on fitness, wellness, and personal growth including New York Times bestseller Tone It Up: 28 Days to Fit Fierce, and Fabulous, Balanced and Beautiful: 5-Day Reset for Your Body, Mind, and Spirit, and The Big Silence: A Daughter's Memoir of Mental Illness and Healing. In her memoir, Karena shares her personal story of growing up with a mother suffering from severe mental health issues and schizophrenia, her own struggles with depression and addiction, and her path to healing and self-discovery.

In today's episode we discuss:

  • Overcoming Guilt and Shame
  • The Role of Community in Healing
  • Identity and Self-Discovery
  • Generational Trauma and Its Effects
  • Empathy and Support: Navigating Family Mental Illness
  • Self-Care: The Key to Sustaining Caregiving
