Karena and Tone It Up's Head of Marketing Deseray answer some of YOUR biggest questions. 
Welcome to episode two of Tone It Down, recorded in Palm Springs, California. In this special Ask Me Anything episode, Karena is joined by Deseray Cummings, Tone It Up’s Head of Marketing and a longtime member of the community since 2010.
Together, they answer real questions submitted by the Tone It Up community— covering perimenopause and menopause, hormone imbalances, PMDD, and why the workouts that once worked may not feel the same anymore. They talk honestly about cardio vs. strength training, navigating body changes, and what to do when you’re told your hormones are “normal” but something still feels off.
Karena also shares a look at what’s ahead for Tone It Up, including the evolution of the brand and what’s coming next with her protein and nutrition line, and how those plans are being shaped by what the community truly needs in this season of life.
All of the questions featured in this episode were submitted directly to Karena via speakpipe.com/KarenaDawn, and this conversation marks the beginning of a regular community Q&A series on Tone It Down— because these honest, real-life questions deserve space and thoughtful conversation.
This episode is about understanding your body, adapting with compassion, and finding confidence as you move into what’s next.

Beschreibung

Welcome to Tone It Down, your new weekly ritual for exhaling, exhaling again, and remembering you’re not supposed to have it all figured out. 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. Whether you’re stretching, meal prepping, commuting, multitasking, or tapping out of the chaos, this podcast offers space to breathe and reset.
Because at the end of the day, we’re all evolving. We’re all learning. And we’re all craving conversations that go deeper than highlight reels. So pull up a seat. Bring your full self. And come tone down the noise so you can tune into your life again.
