Dr. Davina’s Dots
Keep Growing
Keep Growing is a reminder that growth is about becoming more of who you're meant to be. No matter where you are today, every small step forward matters.
In this episode of Dr. Davina's Dots we reflect on the importance of continuing to learn, grow, and move toward a life that reflects your values, your purpose, and the person you're becoming. Growth simply requires a willingness to keep moving forward, one step at a time.

48. Funny how time flies
01:00:22||Season 6, Ep. 48Funny How Time FliesWe often say, “Funny how time flies,” as if time somehow started moving faster. But maybe time hasn’t changed at all. Maybe what has changed is how we spend it, what fills our days, and how much attention we give to the moments while we’re living them.In this episode of Dr. Davina’s Dots, we reflect on our relationship with time, the things we make time for, the things that consume more of it than they should, and the moments we sometimes don’t appreciate until they’ve passed.Time keeps moving at the same pace. The question is: What are we doing with the time we have?Join me for reflection, inspiration nestled between smooth jazz as we slow down long enough to think about where our time is going, and whether we’re spending enough of it on the people, experiences, and things that truly matter.
46. Sitting Still
01:00:00||Season 6, Ep. 46Sitting Still is about more than physical stillness. We can sit quietly while our minds race with worries, distractions, and endless to-do lists. Real stillness begins on the inside.In this episode of Dr. Davina's Dots we explore how slowing our thoughts, creating space to breathe, and becoming present can help us experience a deeper sense of calm. Sometimes rest doesn't come from stopping what we're doing, it comes from slowing down and quieting what is happening within us.Tell Alexa to play Dr. Davina's Dots Podcast or Listen, like and follow wherever you listen to Podcasts.
