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.FIND KRISTEN HERE:Come hang out on Instagram: @kristen.franeyAnd, check out her free guide, From Stuck to F&@k Yeah, Done - Stop Stalling.

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.Follow Mike on Insight Timer for more down to earth guided meditations: mcvo.me/insighttimerFind his audiobook, "30 Days to Mindfulness for those who think they can't meditate" on Audible: mcvo.me/30days

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. #SlowDownSundays #MindfulMoment #BreatheAndRelease #GuidedBreathwork #StressRelief #WorryBasket #MentalReset #MindBodySoul #SundayReset #IntentionalLiving #HealingEnergy #CalmAndCentered #LetItGo #RelaxAndUnwind #PodcastMeditation

Tatiana Gwon is a published and award winning physics professor. Although she achieved success in her career, she found that she became overwhelmed with her work and family life, and that led to her being resentful, filled with fear and she developed back pain. In 2-3 years, she spent time learning yoga and Jin Shin Jyutsu and spent a year doing lessons from a book called "Course of Miracles." This helped her transform out of what she calls the midlife checkpoint, which is a point in life where one must ask themselves what more do they want in life, what is their purpose and what makes them happy.Find her:www.effortlessreality.comEffortless Reality PodcastAUDIO ONLY EPISODEFIND DAWN HERE:Email: dawnversations@gmail.com https://www.podpage.com/dawnversations/ https://www.buzzsprout.com/2124488 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dawnversations/id1611645700 https://open.spotify.com/show/3nyVFDlLJ0y7S2MQ0ZqiZ5?si=RFLLwSTYQVGta30nkZ2vsg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGZFdplRZmXIguI31KbX2eg https://www.pandora.com/podcast/dawnversations/PC:1000700495 https://linktr.ee/dawnversations Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/francesco-dandrea/a-day-late-and-a-dollar-short License code: EYUYKNS4AFNOD1JO
