What is Dawnversations: In My Head ?

⭐ Ranked Top 50 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 her every week as she talks honestly and hilariously about life, overthinking, identity, style, midlife chaos, and whatever strange spiral she’s riding that day — often interrupted by her inner nag, Carol, who always has something to say.
This isn’t self-help. It’s self-talk — relatable, raw, and slightly unhinged in the best way.
If you’ve ever wondered “Is it just me?” — good news. It isn’t.
Ready or not… here we go. can watch me on YouTube or listen anywhere you listen to your favorite podcasts!
