Tone It Down

Welcome to Tone It Down, your new weekly ritual for exhaling, exhaling again, and remembering you’re not supposed to have it all figured out. Hosted by Karena Dawn, cofounder of Tone It Up and your favorite wellness bestie, this is the girlfriend group chat you actually want to be in. The one where we laugh so hard our mascara migrates, unpack the stuff that’s been sitting on our hearts, and walk away feeling—finally—seen. Every episode is an invitation to step out of the relentless “do more, be more, achieve more” swirl and slip into something softer. Here, we explore what it really takes to feel good in our bodies, steady in our minds, and connected in our lives. Think fitness and nutrition with a side of real-life evolution, the quiet self-care practices that actually stick, and the private girl talk rarely shared in public. No posturing. No perfection. Just honest conversations about the glow-ups, the growing pains, the rituals we love, and the resets we desperately need. Tone It Down Tuesdays are your new anchor. A place to feel grounded, motivated, held, and reminded that wellness is not a performance. It’s a relationship. And the good news? You don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re stretching, meal prepping, commuting, multitasking, or tapping out of the chaos, this podcast offers space to breathe and reset. Because at the end of the day, we’re all evolving. We’re all learning. And we’re all craving conversations that go deeper than highlight reels. So pull up a seat. Bring your full self. And come tone down the noise so you can tune into your life again.

    Worth the Hype? Karena & Des Break Down Your Favorite TikTok Wellness Trends

    Welcome to a no-filter episode of Tone It Down Tuesday! Karena is joined by her girl Deseray — Tone It Up's Head of Marketing and a self-described "chronically online" wellness trend spotter — live from Laguna Beach. Together, they dive headfirst into the wellness trends taking over your TikTok feed, from mouth tape and magnesium mocktails to cold plunges, clean girl mornings, and somatic shaking. No judgment, just honest takes, lots of laughs, and the reminder that the best wellness routine is the one that actually works for YOU. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the things you're supposed to be doing, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, tune in, and watch yourself go. Which wellness trends are actually worth your time and which are totally skippable? (02:03) Maxing Culture: Mouth Tape, Magnesium & the Supplement Stack Life Magnesium stacks, chlorophyll, electrolytes — the world of supplement stacking is wild and growing fast. Karena and Des break down what's actually buzzy vs. what's worth exploring. Des introduces the sleepy girl mocktail (tart cherry + magnesium) and decides she needs to test it herself. Science experiment incoming! Bottom line: start with one thing, see how you feel, and don't let the 10-step supplement stack intimidate you into doing nothing. (08:44) Soft Wellness Era: Somatic Healing, Nervous System Resets & Breathwork Somatic shaking, scream therapy, and vagus nerve hacks are all over the internet  but do they actually work? Karena shares a real breathwork experience where emotions genuinely released—tears, shaking and all. It's a real thing when done with the right guidance. Des keeps it real: some of those videos look like rage bait. The girls agree they need a somatic healer on the pod to actually test it live. (10:46) Biohacking & Longevity: Cold Plunges, Saunas & Red Light Therapy Karena calls herself a "basic biohacking baddie.” Give her cold, heat, and red light and she's good. Cold plunge truth talk: Des admits she hates it but loves how she feels after. Karena meditates IN the cold plunge. Everyone is different and that's the whole point. Red light therapy is Karena's secret weapon for mental health, skin, and winding down at night. Low lift, high reward. (17:12) The Clean Girl Aesthetic: Permission to Just Wake Up Don't let a curated TikTok morning make you feel like yours isn't enough. Karena's real clean girl routine: open your eyes, say thank you. Gratitude is the only non-negotiable morning habit you actually need. Give yourself the gift of a judgment-free morning. Show up as you are and let that be more than enough. (19:02) Fitness Trends: Workout Snacks, Pilates Boom & Lifting Weights Short workouts, walking as exercise, reformer Pilates, weight lifting… the fitness world has never had more options and that's a GOOD thing. Des shares her weight lifting glow-up: two weeks of consistent lifting and she feels stronger, more toned and more energized than ever. The results speak. Karena's take: do whatever the frick you want to do. Your workout trains your mindset for the rest of the day, so move in a way that lights you up.

    Stronger Than Before: Chyna on Motherhood, Surrender & Finding Her Way Back

    Welcome to this special solo episode of Tone It Down with trainer Chyna Rae. Fresh off two days of filming the brand new Radiate and Rise series, Chyna sits down for her very first solo episode to share what's been on her heart. She opens up about the unexpected curveballs that shaped the last six years of her life — from leaving the fitness world and discovering her inner artist, to becoming a mom and finding her way back to the Tone It Up community she loves. This episode is a warm, honest reminder that you don't have to have it all figured out and that the most beautiful chapters of your life might be the ones you never planned for. What do I do when life doesn't go the way I planned? This episode is your reminder that you are not alone — and that every unexpected turn is quietly leading you somewhere even better. (02:24) Trusting the unexpected detours in your journey Recognize that the curveballs you didn't see coming can lead to gifts you never would have found otherwise. Stay open to new sides of yourself. Your creative self, your athletic self, your nurturing self — they can all coexist and take turns. Every unexpected chapter is an opportunity to discover just how multifaceted and capable you truly are. (04:48) The freedom that comes from surrendering control Releasing your grip on how things "should" go opens up space for something even greater to come in. Every layer of letting go might feel scary, but there is always more waiting for you on the other side of it. Life feels lighter and more exciting when you stop carrying the weight of trying to control every next step. (07:12) A simple daily practice to feel lighter right now Every morning, start your day by surrendering the pressure and expectations you've been placing on yourself. Remember that most of the pressure you feel is coming from within — and you have the power to release it. Waking up with an open heart instead of a clenched fist allows you to be present, free, and genuinely excited about what's ahead. (11:54) You don't have to have it all figured out Let go of the idea that you need a perfect plan, some of the best things in life arrive completely unplanned. Trust your gut, trust your intuition, and trust that good things are on their way to you. The most freeing thing you can do is let life unfold instead of trying to map out every single step.

    From the Tone It Up Set: Your Questions About Hormones, Body Changes & Fitness—Answered

    We are LIVE from Palm Springs, California — and this one is a full-on love fest! Karena and Desiree sit down in the middle of the Tone It Up Summer Challenge to answer YOUR voicemail questions, and this episode is everything we didn't know we needed. From perimenopause and cycle syncing to birth control myths and body confidence at every age, this AMA is a safe, joyful space where women get real, get supported, and leave feeling less alone. Whether you're 20, 30, 40, 50, or beyond — this conversation is for YOU. Drop your own question at karenadawn.com/message and you could be featured on the pod! 🎙️ 🌸 Embracing Body Changes at Every Stage of Life [04:22] Karena & Des respond to listener Emma Karena opens up about her own perimenopause journey — including gaining 40 lbs — and the power that came from finally talking about it out loud. Des reminds us that hormone shifts happen every 5–10 years throughout life — and that's not something to fear, it's something to celebrate as growth and evolution. The duo share how returning to movement and endorphins is always the grounding reset when life feels uncertain. Big takeaway: change is a sign of growing, not losing — and you get to cheer yourself on through every season. 💊 Birth Control, Natural Cycles & Taking Ownership of Your Health [08:00] Karena & Des respond to listener Marie — plus a deep dive into Natural Cycles Karena shares her experience discovering the Natural Cycles app for perimenopause tracking — and how it helped her realise symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and insomnia are completely normal. Des opens up about coming off birth control after over a decade, and how Natural Cycles (FDA-approved, 99%+ accuracy) gave her peace of mind and a whole new understanding of her cycle. The app syncs with wearables like the Oura Ring or Apple Watch to track ovulation, fertility windows, and hormone patterns — making it a powerful tool for women at ANY stage of life. The conversation that women deserve: education about their bodies, their cycles, and their choices — not just a 'magic pill' handed over without context. 💪 Fitness, Friendship & Finding Your Way Back Home [16:46] Karena & Des respond to listener Christy — plus a love letter to the TIU community Christy's message (a Tone It Up member since 2015!) is a beautiful reminder that it's okay to take a different road — and that this community is always here when you're ready to come back. Des shares her own incredible full-circle story: discovering Tone It Up at 13 after a difficult season, and how it became her gateway to a joyful, nourishing relationship with her body and food. Karena reflects on co-founding TIU at 27 and how the community has grown and evolved right alongside her — turning 45 and feeling more grounded than ever. The heart of it all: it's not just about the workouts. It's about the conversations, the friendships, and the lifelong support system that keeps showing up for you. 📲 Leave a voicemail for Karena & Des at karenadawn.com/message 🎧 Subscribe to the Tone It Down Podcast on Spotify & Apple Podcasts 📸 Follow @karenadawn on Instagram for behind-the-scenes from Palm Springs! 👒 Leave a review or comment on the pod + drop your Instagram handle — we're sending you a TIU hat!

    Karena Solo: 5 Steps to Trust Yourself, Practice Presence, & Come Back to You

    Welcome to a solo episode of Tone It Down with Karena Dawn. In this episode, Karena shares the five transformative steps that helped her learn to trust herself again and turn her life around. Drawing from her own deeply personal journey, including a pivotal morning in the park that changed everything, she walks through how to recognize when you're out of alignment, rediscover your joy, tell the difference between fear and intuition, rebuild trust through small daily promises, and choose presence over perfection.  Whether you're navigating a major life shift or simply feeling a little off-track, this episode is your reminder that you can come back to yourself at any time — and you are never alone on this journey. How do I start trusting myself again when I feel completely lost? Getting back to yourself doesn't require a dramatic overhaul — just one small, honest step at a time. You are worthy of alignment, joy, and peace, and it's never too late to choose yourself. (03:10) Step 1: Admit you're out of alignment That tiny voice in your head you keep trying to push away? That's your intuition and it's always right. Start by simply listening. Admitting you're not aligned with yourself is the most powerful first move you can make and it's as simple as saying, "Okay, I hear you." You don't have to hit rock bottom to recognize you're off-track. At any stage of life you can pause and choose to realign. (05:38) Step 2: Find what brings you joy Create your own "Joy It Up" list. Write down the things that make you feel truly alive, whether it's moving your body, painting, reading, or spending time in nature. Ask yourself: "Am I saying yes enough to the things that bring me joy?" That simple question can shift everything. Joy doesn't have to be grand, it can be as small as playing with your dog, getting lost in a good thriller, or feeling the sunshine on your face. (09:20) Step 3: Learn the difference between fear and intuition Intuition is calm, steady, and consistent. Fear is loud, anxious, and urgent. Learning to tell them apart is life-changing. Meditation and stillness help you hear your inner voice more clearly. Give yourself the gift of silence to tune in. Journal a situation where fear is holding you back, then ask what your intuition is quietly telling you. Chances are, it's saying: "You've got this." (10:45) Step 4: Rebuild trust through small promises to yourself Forget all-or-nothing thinking.The most lasting change comes from small, consistent actions that honour who you are becoming. Swap one bad habit for one good one: trade late nights out for early morning movement, or replace scrolling before bed with a two-minute gratitude meditation. Keep small promises to yourself, like giving yourself permission to rest, and watch your self-trust grow one day at a time. (13:56) Step 5: Choose presence over perfection Most of our suffering comes from living in the past or future—presence is the antidote, and it's always available to you right now. Perfection is not the goal. Progress, joy, and showing up for yourself fully is. Let go of the nitpicking and trust the work you've done. Practice micro-moments of presence: look around the room, take a breath, notice what you see. These tiny pauses can bring you back to yourself instantly.

    Come Back to Yourself: Trainer Chyna Rae on Motherhood, Creativity & Finding Real Joy

    Welcome to episode seven of Tone It Down. On today’s episode, Karena reconnects with beloved Tone It Up community member Chyna, who shares the beautiful journey she's been on over the past five years. From navigating a life-changing divorce in her twenties and rediscovering who she truly is, to falling in love, getting married, and becoming a mama, Chyna opens up about all of it. Together, she and Karena dive into the transformative power of creativity as a path to joy, why taking long breaks from fitness helped her build the healthiest relationship with movement she's ever had, and how becoming a mother brought her fully into the present moment.  How do I find real, lasting joy and actually feel like myself again? Joy isn't found in checking off boxes or achieving the perfect life from the outside in. It lives inside you, waiting to be unlocked. Whether you're navigating change, stepping into a new season, or simply craving more presence and creativity in your everyday life, you are exactly where you need to be. (00:00) Coming Next (00:54) Intro (06:00) Owning Your Story & Breaking Free from Shame Life doesn't always go according to plan and that's okay. Releasing shame around unexpected chapters is the first step to truly moving forward. People-pleasing can keep you stuck in situations that no longer serve you.  Every hard decision that honors your truth becomes a stepping stone to the confident, joyful woman you're becoming. (12:00) Why Checking the Boxes Isn't Enough  Having the dream life on paper doesn't guarantee inner happiness. Real joy has to be cultivated from within. When something still feels off despite everything looking "perfect," that's your soul inviting you to go deeper and discover what truly lights you up. Opening up to creativity—whether painting, writing, or even setting a beautiful table—is one of the most powerful ways to access lasting joy. (15:30) Unlocking the Artist Within You Everyone has a creative spark inside them and it doesn't require a paintbrush or a canvas. Creativity is anything that moves you from logic into imagination. Tapping into that creative part of your brain is like finding a secret door to joy that you always have access to, no matter your circumstances. Anything that lets your imagination roam free is feeding your creative soul and helping you feel more alive. You don't have to be a "capital-A Artist" to experience the freedom and fulfillment that creative expression brings. (18:50) Motherhood, Unexpected Love & the Gift of Being Softened Motherhood doesn't have to look the way you imagined—and that's a beautiful thing. Some of life's greatest gifts come wrapped in surprise. When you let go of the big "purpose" you think you need to chase, you often find that what's right in front of you is everything you ever wanted. Watching your partner step into parenthood with love and respect deepens connection in the most unexpected and wonderful ways. (21:50) A New Relationship with Fitness  Taking long breaks from fitness isn't failure. Sometimes stepping away completely is exactly what your body and mind need to come back stronger and more motivated than ever. Moving your body to feel strong, grounded, and energized is so much more sustainable than working out for how you look. When fitness becomes about how you feel, it becomes a gift instead of a chore. Short, high-intensity workouts can be the perfect anchor. "Workout snacks" are a game-changer for staying consistent without the overwhelm. (26:00) Getting Off Autopilot & Coming Back to the Present So much of our suffering comes from living in the past or worrying about the future but life is only ever happening right here, right now. A simple walk outside with no audio can be a powerful reset. Let yourself notice what's around you, feel the air, and come back to your body. Presence is the greatest gift you can give yourself and the people you love.
