What if the best burnout remedy isn't a vacation… but a dance floor? In this high-energy Women's Month episode of I Am Home, we sit down with professional game-day DJ and former NFL mascot DJ Dawna... the woman behind the music at Sporting KC, the Chiefs, the Royals and the USWNT. From leading crowds in a mascot suit to soundtracking stadiums packed with thousands, Dawna shares how she learned to read a room, move a crowd and create moments people never forget. But this conversation goes deeper than playlists and hype. Dawna opens up about what truly separates a technically good DJ from someone who can shift the energy in a space and why dance might be one of the most underrated forms of stress relief we have. If you've been running on empty, consider this your invitation to turn up the volume. Resources: nfm.com/podcast

What happens when our homes get smarter than ever… while we also crave going totally unplugged? In this episode of I AM HOME, the team explores a major shift shaping home life in 2026: design and lifestyle trends are moving in two very different directions at once. "Bells & Whistles" trends are making homes smarter with AI health tools, pet wearables, beauty gadgets and elevated kitchen upgrades, while "Less Bells & Whistles" is pushing back with fewer screens, more hands-on comfort and retro tech like turntables and CD players. The takeaway? The future of home isn't all high-tech or all unplugged – it's intentional, blending innovation with calm to create spaces that truly support everyday life. Resources: nfm.com/podcast
