We’re excited to share that The Big Silence founder, Karena Dawn, recently joined the Oldish podcast (hosted by Brian Austin Green, Randy Spelling, and Sharna Burgess) for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation in an episode titled “Turning Trauma Into Purpose.”
In this heartfelt discussion, Karena opens up about the emotional turmoil she faced growing up, the lasting effects of childhood trauma, and how those experiences led her to seek unhealthy coping mechanisms, including substance use. She shares her journey of confronting the pain of the past, finding the courage to heal, and ultimately transforming her struggles into a mission to help others.
Listeners will hear how Karena’s path from darkness to light shaped her purpose—and how it inspired the creation of The Big Silence, a nonprofit dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health and providing resources for those in need.
Karena also shares healthy ways to improve your mental and physical health through "workout snacks" and "meditation snacks."
If you’ve ever faced challenges that felt impossible to overcome, this conversation is a reminder that you can emerge stronger, healthier, and more connected to your true self.
