Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.When you're sleepy, your brain's emotional regulation goes offline, and words can cut like a knife before you even realize it. Dawn shares two simple tools for catching yourself before the damage is done.In Daily Dose 5, Dawn gets real about a lifetime of justifying anger and what it cost her relationships, especially with herself. Her two go-to rescue tools: a self-aware laugh line that buys time before her "dopamine comes online," and a 3-things-I-love refocus trick that redirects a brain mid-tantrum back toward love. Simple, a little silly, genuinely effective.
