<p>"Able to make serious topics lighthearted and fun - I even laughed at some points!"<br />Get your bi-weekly dose of <b>positivity</b> in this <b>fun podcast</b> with Dr Dawn Barlow, who helps you navigate all of the <b>weird/best/worst parts of life</b>!<br /><br />Dawn takes you on the self-improvement journey you didn't realise you needed... Bought to you by a doctor who hasn't had life as sweet as many of her comrades. She knows firsthand just how rubbish life can be, yet has managed to turn her life around for the better! <br /><br />From relationships to mental health to happiness, make sure you buckle up twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays) the join her and her guests for candid self-improvement. Don't forget of the course, the "weird thoughts" segment, where Dawn and her guests share weird thoughts from their lives. <br /><br />Dawn says: <br /><br />Sometimes life reminds me of being in a washing machine. It's a bit spinny and turbulent for a while, but then it stops and gives you a little break before spinning you into oblivion once more. It feels like the washing machine wants to wash something bad out of all of us... positivity. <br /><br />Some might EVEN say that positivity is shouting from the backseat and no-one wants to listen to it... [backseat positivity] More than once a week, but less than 4 times a week, you can shove me in your auditory canals and listen to me chat about L.I.F.E., self-improvement, mental health and anything else that my little monkey-mind paws can grasp onto. <br /><br />Sometimes other humans actually dare to join me. <br /><br />It's candid, it's fun. Woo!</p>
