In this heartfelt episode, I speak with Karena Dawn - author, wellness entrepreneur, and founder of The Big Silence Foundation - about her powerful memoir, The Big Silence. Karena shares her deeply personal story of growing up with a mother living with mental illness, the silence that shaped her early years, and her ongoing journey of healing, forgiveness, and self-discovery.

Her honesty and compassion remind us that while pain can shape us, it doesn’t have to define us and that we are never alone in our struggles.

Please note that this conversation touches on sensitive themes, including mental illness, addiction, and suicide, so please listen gently and take care of yourself as you do.
