- The learning curve in gaining confidence in the ability to be an expert of your body
- How medical diagnoses come in twins and triplets, meaning, if you have one condition, there’s a high likelihood you will have multiple follow

- The power of intuition and and advocating for yourself in a medical setting
- Dawn’s journey back to her faith and regulating her nervous system
Quotes:
"I started doing nervous system regulation…so that coupled with my functional medicine practice really got me to a healthy place so I was able to kind of bounce back from that major health crash and within a couple of years went off all my medication." - Dawn
“And just because a doctor tells me to do something doesn't mean I have to, you know, really trying to reframe that like that's a recommendation. Like, I don't have to follow blindly, whatever they're telling me. - Dawn
