#73 Dawn Evans – Changing the Narrative

Sometimes the most powerful change begins with a conversation.

On 10 October, we mark World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme feels particularly important:

“Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

And that sits beautifully at the heart of my conversation with Dawn Evans.

Dawn is passionate about bringing people together, creating connection and changing the way we think and talk about mental health and wellbeing.

But talking is only the beginning.

It’s about listening to lived experience. Learning from one another. Creating spaces where people genuinely feel heard. And, importantly, turning those conversations into action.

Because perhaps real change begins when we stop simply asking people to share their stories — and start asking:

What can we learn from them, and what are we going to do differently?

Thank you, Dawn, for your passion, your energy and for continuing to create spaces where real voices can help create real change. ❤️
