The Big Silence
Where there is darkness, there is an immense opportunity for light. The Big Silence aims to normalize conversations around mental health and empower people to turn their challenges into triumphs. Hosted by Karena Dawn – mental health advocate, wellness entrepreneur, co-founder of Tone It Up, and New York Times bestselling author – The Big Silence is creating a safe space to share our story, and for you to share yours. Like so many, Karena has experienced profound grief and trauma. Growing up with a mother diagnosed with paranoid-schizophrenia, her childhood was filled with traumatic experiences that resulted in repressed emotions of guilt, shame, depression, and eventually, a suicide attempt. Though filled with this darkness, Karena was able to find deep joy. And with The Big Silence, she's creating a space for you to find that joy, too. This podcast will feature in-depth conversations with psychologists, spiritual leaders, public figures, friends, and anyone who has been impacted by a mental health condition – either themselves, or through a family member or a friend. Suffering in silence only reinforces the stigma behind mental health issues and builds boundaries that prevent healing. Wherever you are, whatever you're going through, you have a spark of greatness inside of you. No more embarrassment, no more shame, only healing. -- A non-profit 501(c)3, The Big Silence Foundation provides resources and support to anyone directly or indirectly impacted by mental illness. 'The Big Silence' theme song was written and performed by James Nicholas Kinney. Executive Handyman, Bobby Goldstein.

I feel less alone listening to The Big Silence. Such a labor of love. Today I listened to episode 62 with the creator of the Therabody massage gun which was fascinating to me as a massage therapist and meditation teacher. Karena always asks insightful questions. She said it so articulately, “Out of your head and into you body…. Get out of your mind and into your heart.” You truly can’t think your way out of things. -Ann Swanson, MS
Learning and validating

I’ve learned so much from these podcasts and I’ve always thought Karena’s voice is very healing (from doing her meditations with Tone It Up) The issues discussed in the episodes hit close to home and I love hearing the stories of different individuals and how they are overcoming their mental illness. Very grateful for this podcast and this movement that Karena is creating with the foundation.
Yikes!

Please right a script. You’re all over the place. Blah blah blah without saying anything. Listen to Mel Robins or someone else who knows what they’re doing and then compare to what you’re doing. Just because you can have a podcast, doesn’t mean you should.
Uplifting and Empowering

After following Tone it Up for years and learning more about Karena Dawn’s personal journey, I knew her podcast was going to be informative, raw, and empowering. This podcast brings in so many different and refreshing perspectives on mental health, wellness, and life. Some perspectives that may differ from one’s own catalogue of lived experiences or be on a different track of a different mindset. But that is the beauty of this podcast. I even found a wonderful tool for my practice with clients (everyone, including my men are Boundary Bossing it up!). There is power in our story and even more in sharing our story with others. Thank you, Karena, Bobby, and team.
