Today’s guest is someone who I admire for her work with mental health advocacy. She is a voice for healing, and getting rid of the stigma associated with mental illness. 

Karena Dawn, mental health advocate and co-founder of Tone It Up, the leading women’s fitness, nutrition and lifestyle community, is a wellness entrepreneur, New York Times best-selling author, meditation leader, and founder of the mental health foundation, The Big Silence. She hosts The Big Silence podcast, having open conversations about mental health, wellness and self-development.

Inside today’s episode we discuss: 

  • Karena’s vulnerable story of overcoming childhood trauma and becoming a mental health advocate 
  • Attracting secure healthy love after experiencing trauma 
  • The importance of self-care routines including meditation, movement, and sleep for your mental health 

Aaaaand so much more!
