Karena Dawn Joins The Terri Cole Show to Talk Mental Health, Healing, and Her Upcoming Audiobook

Mental health advocate, author, and founder of The Big Silence, Karena Dawn, recently sat down with Terri Cole on The Terri Cole Show for an inspiring conversation about healing, resilience, and the power of sharing our stories. Karena opened up about her journey, the inspiration behind her book The Big Silence, and her mission to make mental health resources more accessible for all.

The Story Behind The Big Silence

At the heart of Karena’s work is a deep commitment to breaking the stigma around mental health. In the episode, she shares how her personal experiences led her to create The Big Silence, a movement dedicated to normalizing conversations about mental health and providing real support to those in need.

Making Therapy Accessible with “Therapy for All”

One of the most impactful aspects of The Big Silence foundation is the Therapy for All program, which helps provide mental health services to individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford them. Karena discusses how this initiative is transforming lives by ensuring more people have access to the care they deserve.

The Power of Community and Mindfulness

Karena has a natural ability to bring people together, whether through her Tone It Up programs and wellness retreats, online community, or advocacy work. In her conversation with Terri, she dives into how mindfulness, meditation, and spirituality have been key elements of her own healing journey—and how she shares these practices with others, including her own partner.
