Welcome to Resilience with Dawn Olivia—the podcast where faith meets healing, and your comeback is always stronger than your setback. I’m your host, Dawn Olivia Jackson, and today’s message is your divine permission slip to simply breathe...

This episode is titled “It’s Okay to Disconnect”—because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause.

If Jesus took time to retreat, to be still, to pray in silence—why do we feel guilty for needing rest?

We’re diving into what it truly means to unplug in a noisy world, with scripture to guide us, real-life reflections to ground us, and gentle steps to help you reclaim your peace.

So whether you’re walking, driving, journaling, or lying still—this space is for you.
 Let’s give our minds room to reset, and our spirits space to rise.

Let’s begin!

In this powerful episode of Resilience with Dawn Olivia, we sit down with Mark Connor—author, fighter, and founder of Boxers & Writers Magazine—to explore the depth of time, purpose, and the soul’s fight to stay grounded through life’s battles. Mark, affectionately known as the “Writing Boxer,” shares insights from his heartfelt book It’s About Time, a poetic and reflective work that navigates loss, resilience, and the art of becoming a “good soul” in a restless world.
