Dawnversations: In My Head

In this episode of Dawnversations, I sit down with Dr. Jamey Maniscalco — neuroscientist, wellness consultant, and founder of Manifest Wellness — to bust common myths about stress and explore what really helps our nervous systems thrive. With over a decade as an Associate Professor of Neuroscience, Dr. Jamey breaks down complex brain science into simple, practical strategies anyone can use to boost resilience, prevent burnout, and feel more in control of their life.
We talk about how sleep, mindfulness, and nutrition all play into nervous system regulation, why some popular advice might be doing more harm than good, and what science actually says about stress. This conversation is packed with real talk, eye-opening insight, and hope — all backed by evidence and delivered with heart.
Whether you’re navigating midlife, caregiving, healing from trauma, or just looking for healthier ways to feel human again, this episode is for you.

What is Dawnversations: In My Head ?

⭐ Ranked Top 7 in Improv Podcast of the Month on Goodpods, and Top 10 in Funny & Life categories. Apparently talking to myself is working.

Welcome to Dawnversations: In My Head — Part Funny. Part Therapy. The podcast where the real conversations happen inside Dawn’s brain… and yes, it’s a lot. Join me every week as I talk honestly about life, overthinking, identity, style, midlife chaos, and whatever strange spiral I'm riding that day — often interrupted by my inner nag, Carol, who ALWAYS has something to say.
This isn’t self-help. It’s self-talk — relatable, raw, and slightly sarcastic in the best way.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is it just me?” — good news. It isn’t.
Ready or not… here we go. You can watch me on YouTube or listen anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts!
