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.

A fun little episode with some riddles and trivia to kill time in the car on a long trip or commute to Grandma's house

Chuck says: "As a Type 1 Diabetic and Traumatic Brain Injury survivor, I have faced many personal health challenges. For years I was searching for practical and impactful ways to improve my health. In 2015 I was reintroduced to breathwork, and after feeling the benefits as well as the massive shift this brought into my life, I switched professions and dedicated my life to helping others discover their own personal power to help themselves.Since then I have traveled worldwide studying different breathwork modalities. My first introduction to conscious breathwork was through the Wim Hof Method, which included weeks of instruction from Wim Hof himself. I was the first American Instructor to help lead the Wim Hof winter expeditions in Poland, and I continue to expand my knowledge in this and other breathwork modalities. Now, for more than half a decade, I have been working in a healthcare setting applying foundational and functional breath coupled with specific breathwork protocols to help reduce chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to empower people through their own personal and individual breathwork.""Everyone's physiology is different, I know there is no cookie cutter approach to optimal health, however I believe that functional breathing can positively impact everyone."

Think you know everything about Breathwork? Think again! This week on Dawnversations, I sit down with Chuck McGee, a Type 1 Diabetic and Traumatic Brain Injury survivor who discovered a surprising key to healing and resilience: breathwork. After experiencing a massive shift in his own health, Chuck left his former career to dedicate his life to teaching others how to unlock the power of their breath.From studying directly with Wim Hof (yes, that Wim Hof) and helping lead winter expeditions in Poland, to applying breathwork in healthcare settings to ease chronic pain, anxiety, and depression — Chuck has seen firsthand how the way we breathe can transform the way we live.In this conversation, we myth-bust what breathwork actually is (hint: it's not just deep breathing), explore its role in mental and physical health, and talk about why there's no one-size-fits-all approach to wellness.✨ If you've ever wondered how something as simple and natural as your breath could be the missing piece in your health puzzle, this episode is a must-listen.

We've been through wars, terror, pandemics—and somehow, we're still here. That means hope is stronger than hate. Today, choose faith over fear, choose light over darkness, and remember—your hope matters, because it just might spark someone else's.

Food, Mood, and the Microbiome: Healing from the Inside Out       On this episode of Dawnversations, we dive into the fascinating world of the gut-brain axis and the microbiome with two incredible guests: Missy Chase Lapine and Trinity Pate.Missy is the New York Times bestselling author, foodie, and Functional Health Coach™ whose own journey with low blood sugar and anxiety showed her how food can truly be medicine.

Plus, I get to learn more about Missy and Trinity's personal paths into this work.✨ If you've ever wondered why your stomach and your mind seem to be in constant conversation, this episode will give you both the science and the practical steps to start healing from the inside out.

This week on Dawnversations, I'm joined by Gretchen Zimmermann, MBA, RD, LD, CDCES, CSOWM, VP of Clinical Strategy at Vida Health. Gretchen has spent her career cutting through the noise around obesity and nutrition — and in this episode, she helps us separate fact from fiction.We bust some of the most common myths about weight loss, obesity, and “quick fix” diets, plus talk about why lasting health is a whole lot more complex than calorie counts and willpower.

Ever wondered what you could actually buy at Dollar Tree with just five bucks? Well, Anthony and I took on the challenge, armed with a few crumpled bills and a sense of adventure. We each set out to find the best, worst, and weirdest deals, then revealed our treasures (and horror stories) to each other. Some finds were shockingly good, others... well, let's just say you get what you pay for. We also compared prices with big-name stores like Walmart, Walgreens, and Amazon to see if the "Dollar Tree steal" was actually a deal. But wait—there's more! We also dish out a SPOILER ALERT breakdown of the Scamanda finale (because we HAD to talk about it!) and, in a plot twist no one saw coming, I share the thrilling saga of my colonoscopy. Trust me, it's more entertaining than it sounds. Tune in for laughs, deals, and deep dives (in more ways than one)!

Feeling nostalgic? We sure are! In this episode, we sit down with Clay Routledge, author of Past Forward: How Nostalgia Can Help You Live a More Meaningful Life, to take a deep dive into the power of nostalgia. From Legos, Operation, and Dungeons & Dragons to iconic movies and music, we relive the best (and cringiest) parts of our childhoods. But nostalgia isn't just about the past—it actually shapes our future!

Colonoscopies, Scamanda and Plastic Surgery Ever wondered what really happens before, during, and after a colonoscopy? We break down the process so there are no surprises (except maybe the anesthesia dreams). Then, we dive into the wild true story of Scamanda, the jaw-dropping documentary about a woman who faked cancer to scam her entire community. And because we like to keep things interesting, we round it out with a discussion on plastic surgery, imposter syndrome, and the ultimate life goal: not giving a damn what people think. It's a mixed bag of weird, real, and hilarious—so join us for another episode of Dawnversations with Anthony!
