You know that moment right before you begin something big when you pause, question yourself, and maybe stall for weeks…or years? Yeah. That moment.

In our season finale, I sit down once again with Anna Campbell, and we talk about that exact place: the hesitation before the journey. Anna shares what it took to finally start telling her own stories, how long she waited, and what it felt like to finally move. More importantly, what came after.

We go deep on:

Why hesitation is part of the creative process

How gender dynamics in Hollywood shape the roles we see (and don’t see)

What safety really means for women and how we pass down protective instincts

The nuance of mother-child relationships in storytelling

And why inspiration is literally everywhere, even in the algorithm

This one’s vulnerable, honest, and the perfect way to close the season.

🎧 Listen in and remind yourself: it’s okay to hesitate. Start anyway.

What happens when someone else’s story helps you understand your own? In this episode, Dawne Hanks sits down with Anna Campbell to explore the emotional, intellectual, and even physical "aha" moments we experience while watching shows, listening to podcasts, or hearing a deeply human narrative unfold through different mediums.

Together, they unpack how media and storytelling bypass our defenses, helping us access truths we’ve buried, emotions we’ve silenced, and reflections we didn’t know we needed. Anna shares her insights on why certain stories hit harder, how projection and rejection shape the way we relate to characters, and what it means to see yourself, maybe for the first time, through someone else’s lens.

This episode is for anyone who's ever cried over a fictional character or felt a strange kind of healing while watching a scene unfold. It’s about permitting ourselves to connect, to feel, and to grow through stories that aren’t even ours.

If you’re a woman in your 40s or beyond wondering why your body suddenly isn’t responding like it used to — this episode is for you.

Host Dawne Hanks sits down with Allyson Spungin to unpack what’s truly happening during the pre and post-menopausal transition. From the science of hormonal shifts (hello, estrogen and progesterone drops) to real talk about body composition changes, emotional curveballs, and why fasting or workouts that once worked suddenly don’t, this episode offers insight, empowerment, and practical ways forward.

Allyson shares how she supports women through this season by looking at the whole person not just lab results or symptoms. They discuss the importance of asking the deeper questions: Where are you at? What’s your story? Where do you want to go from here?

This conversation is a must-listen if you're ready to stop feeling like your body is betraying you and start learning how to work with it.
