Hi friends, it’s Dawn.

So… I have an announcement.
The podcast is changing again.

Yes — again.

Some of you have been here since the original version,
 then the reinvention,
 then the other reinvention,
 then whatever the last reinvention was. But this time — it’s different.
 The new season is funny. New season. New format.
 Same host. I wish I could say this is the last time I reinvent my show but....

In this episode of Dawnversations, Dawn sits down with cognitive behavioral therapist and author of Just Do Nothing to unpack how to stop getting in your own way. They discuss predictive anxiety, the sting of rejection after being ghosted, healing from betrayal, and the emotional ups and downs of parenting. Together, they explore what it really means to let emotions exist without trying to “fix” them—and how doing nothing might actually be the most powerful thing you can do.

Dawn and Dr. Michael Wetter discussed the impact of social media on loneliness, self-comparison, and mental health, particularly among adolescents. They explored how social media algorithms and unrealistic portrayals can distort perceptions of success and happiness, while emphasizing the importance of authenticity and personal fulfillment rather than superficial comparisons. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the role of AI in therapy and human connection, including concerns about the decline of face-to-face communication and the generational shift in digital engagement.
Dr. Wetter is licensed to practice in California, New York, and Hawaii. He warmly welcomes new clients and encourages anyone interested in learning more about his practice to reach out to him directly through his website: http://www.drwetter.com 

In this episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Dr. Jamey Maniscalco — neuroscientist, wellness consultant, and founder of Manifest Wellness — to talk about adaptogens, nootropics, and stress and explore what really helps our nervous systems thrive. With over a decade as an Associate Professor of Neuroscience, Dr. Jamey breaks down complex brain science into simple, practical strategies anyone can use to boost resilience, prevent burnout, and feel more in control of their life.

We talk about nervous system regulation, why adaptagens and nootropics can positively impact our brains, and what science actually says about stress. This conversation is packed with real talk, eye-opening insight, and hope — all backed by evidence and delivered with heart.

Whether you’re navigating midlife, caregiving, healing from trauma, or just looking for healthier ways to feel human again, this episode is for you.
