In this episode I take you behind the curtain of one of those life moments nobody puts on a vision board. My husband casually drops the “I was let go today” bomb, and suddenly our tidy little world turns into a Lifetime movie starring me, my sweatpants, and a Costco-sized box of anxiety.
I walk through my very dramatic tour of the five stages of grief: denial, panic, more panic, crying and finally acceptance.
I find a job. A real one. With an alarm clock and grown-up clothes and people who expect me to know things before my second cup of coffee. I talk about the weird identity shift from stay-at-home mom energy to corporate America receptionist, and how starting over in midlife is equal parts terrifying and empowering.
Mostly, it’s a reminder that life has zero respect for our plans, but somehow we keep moving forward anyway. Sweatpants get folded, résumés get updated, and eventually the next chapter shows up whether you’re ready or not.

Honk If You Need a Hug
Ever notice how perfectly normal humans turn into emotionally unhinged circus animals the second they get behind a steering wheel? In this episode, Dawn dives headfirst into the wild world of road rage. From the mysterious disappearance of turn signals to the psychological meltdown caused by someone going 5 miles under the speed limit, we explore why driving makes otherwise decent people lose their ever-loving minds.
Dawn questions whether zipper merging should be taught in kindergarten, and wonders why every commute feels like a low-budget action movie starring amateurs. With humor, honesty, and a little self-awareness, she reminds us that the person honking like a lunatic might just be… well… us.
Consider this episode a group therapy session for anyone who has ever screamed alone in their car while pretending to be a calm, civilized adult five minutes later.
