Hosted by Karena Dawn, cofounder of Tone It Up and your favorite wellness bestie, this is the girlfriend group chat you actually want to be in. The one where we laugh so hard our mascara migrates, unpack the stuff that’s been sitting on our hearts, and walk away feeling—finally—seen. Every episode is an invitation to step out of the relentless “do more, be more, achieve more” swirl and slip into something softer. Here, we explore what it really takes to feel good in our bodies, steady in our minds, and connected in our lives. Think fitness and nutrition with a side of real-life evolution, the quiet self-care practices that actually stick, and the private girl talk rarely shared in public. No posturing. No perfection. Just honest conversations about the glow-ups, the growing pains, the rituals we love, and the resets we desperately need. Tone It Down Tuesdays are your new anchor. A place to feel grounded, motivated, held, and reminded that wellness is not a performance. It’s a relationship. And the good news? You don’t have to do it alone.

From trading a career in fashion merchandising for a front desk job at a gym, to teaching her first-ever cycling class with zero certification and someone else's playlist, Kristina's journey into fitness is proof that sometimes the most unexpected leap of faith leads you exactly where you were always meant to be. Kristina opens up about navigating multiple miscarriages, uprooting her life across the country more than once, and overcoming a heart condition that doctors said would keep her from running — a condition that ultimately became the very reason she fell in love with movement. If you have ever felt stuck, scared to start over, or unsure whether your dream is even possible, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, uplifted, and ready to take that next step. You are so not alone in this. (00:00) Coming Next (01:00) Intro How Do You Find the Courage to Start Over When You Have No Roadmap?
