Dawnversations: In My Head

In this episode of Dawnversations, Autumn Bear is back to blow our minds about the gut and immune system connection. Did you know that 75% of your immune system actually lives in your gut? Autumn breaks down why that matters, how probiotics and fermented foods support your body, and what sugar really does once it hits your system (spoiler: it’s not pretty).
If you’ve ever wondered how to strengthen your immunity, boost your mood, or just understand what’s going on inside your belly — this one’s a must-listen.

In this relatable episode of Dawnversations, Dawn dives head-first into the world of social media madness — where likes, followers, comments, and algorithms seem to control our moods more than we’d like to admit. From Facebook frenzies and Instagram insecurities to TikTok temptations and YouTube comparison traps, she breaks down how social media can mess with your confidence, relationships, and even your sanity.

Dawn exposes how easy it is to spiral into “scroll and compare” syndrome — and how to stop caring so much about what everyone else is posting. Whether you’re guilty of Facebook stalking, overanalyzing a ‘seen’ message, or wondering why that one person unfollowed you (rude), this episode will make you laugh, think, and probably check your screen time.

If you’ve ever felt triggered by social media — or just want to reclaim your peace, power, and personality online — this one’s for you.

In this episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Andy Mort, host of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, for a conversation that blends controversy with self-discovery. We kick things off by diving into the Mel Robbins “Let Them” theory—where it came from, who really said it first, and why plagiarism in the online world sparks such strong reactions. Then we shift gears into something more personal: Highly Sensitive People (HSPs). Andy shares his insights on what it truly means to be highly sensitive, how to know if you might be one, and why sensitivity is often a hidden strength rather than a weakness. Whether you’re here for the internet drama or curious about uncovering new parts of yourself, this episode is thoughtful, engaging, and full of “aha” moments.

In this episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with decluttering coach Kate Evans to talk about why our “stuff” holds so much power over us. From the junk drawer we all pretend doesn’t exist, to entire rooms that feel overwhelming, clutter shows up in more ways than we realize. Kate shares practical strategies for letting go, explains why decluttering your space can actually declutter your mind, and offers encouragement for anyone who feels stuck or even teetering on the edge of hoarding. If you’ve ever felt like your stuff is secretly running your life, this conversation will give you the tools—and the permission—to take control again.

On this episode of Dawnversations, Gretchen Zimmermann joins me for a candid 15-minute chat where we discuss the Netflix Biggest Loser documentary and share her perspective as a dietitian and someone who works closely with people struggling with obesity.

We also dive into the world of GLP-1 medications: what they do, who they might help, potential long-term effects (which, spoiler, are still largely unknown), and key things everyone should understand about blood sugar, insulin, and diabetes.

Mike Carnes is back! If you love his meditations as much as I do, you can find more about him below:
Mike is a meditation teacher and voice actor who helps people slow down, breathe, and find a little peace in the middle of everyday chaos. He found meditation during one of the hardest chapters of his life and quickly realized it wasn’t about sitting on a mountaintop — it was about learning to stay present while doing the dishes or navigating rush hour. His style is down to earth, no fluff, and made for real people with real lives.

On this deep-dive episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Scott Doniger for part two of our Internal Family Systems/Parts Work series. We explore the different 'parts' we all carry—the Inner Critic, the Perfectionist, the Procrastinator, the Righteous One, and the People Pleaser—and uncover how they influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Scott brings clarity, insight, and practical guidance for understanding and working with these parts to create more self-compassion and inner harmony. This episode is longer than usual, but we go in-depth because some conversations just can’t be rushed. If you’ve ever wondered why you sabotage yourself, procrastinate endlessly, or feel torn between competing impulses, this episode will give you a fresh perspective—and maybe even a plan for getting along with your inner committee.
📍Scott is based in Boulder, Colorado and works with clients of all ages and backgrounds.
