Reconsidering Stress, Mindset, & Wellness – My Interview on Dawnversations

In my recent interview with the delightful and engaging Dawn on the Dawnversations podcast, we busted myths, dove into the neuroscience of stress, and explored simple, science-backed ways to feel better in daily life. Our conversation covered:

  • Why not all stress is bad, and how mindset shapes your stress response.

  • Neuroplasticity and how small mental shifts reshape the brain.

  • Fast nervous system resets you can do at your desk.

  • Nature’s power . . . even if you live in a concrete jungle.

  • Why your habits (like alcohol or phone use) matter more than you think, and how to shift them without guilt.

  • My personal story of loss, resilience, and a cancer diagnosis that sparked even deeper gratitude.

Dawn was a pleasure to speak with: curious, grounded, and open. If you’re navigating stress, burnout, or just want to take better care of yourself without the overwhelm, I hope you’ll take a listen.
