This series, with Kristen Franey, walks you through a thoughtful arc: first, reconnecting with your favorite self, then softening the voice that says “who am I to?”, making space for rest that actually restores you, and finally, weaving it all into how you show up in the world. It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to what’s always been true.

In this episode of Dawnversations, Mike Carnes returns after his popular Slow Down Sunday Episode: "Meditations for People Who Struggle With Meditating". We dive deeper into the mindset shift that led him from Lutheran roots to a peaceful Buddhist practice. We explore Buddhist philosophy, the power of mindfulness, and how the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* helped reshape his view of life, spirituality, and letting go. Mike also shares his deep admiration for Thich Nhat Hanh and what it really means to “be” your meditation.

If you've ever struggled with overthinking, spiritual identity, or sitting still long enough to breathe—this one’s for you.

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.

In this solo Slow Down Sundays episode, Dawn gently guides you through a simple breathwork practice and a mindful visualization exercise to help you release stress and worry. Imagine placing your heavy thoughts and anxieties in a basket beside you, allowing yourself space to simply be. This short but powerful session is perfect for anyone looking to wind down, reset, and enter the week with a clearer mind and a calmer heart. Take a few moments for yourself — you deserve it.

In this episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Dr. Jamey Maniscalco — neuroscientist, wellness consultant, and founder of Manifest Wellness — to bust common myths about 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 how sleep, mindfulness, and nutrition all play into nervous system regulation, why some popular advice might be doing more harm than good, 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.
