_____
Comedian and storyteller Georgia Dawkins returns to Dreams in Drive—with a new pivot and a new story to tell. Since her first appearance in 2023, Georgia has undergone a profound transformation—personally, creatively, and spiritually.
In this episode, we explore what it really means to evolve into a new verison of yourself. Georgia shares why she’s learned to be okay with pivoting (“Nine times out of ten, it turns out better than we expected”), and how embracing uncertainty has opened unexpected doors.
We also dive deep into her latest project: a personal documentary celebrating the life and legacy of her late grandmother. Georgia gets candid about the fears she’s faced in telling this story, the losses that became turning points, and how the process is reshaping who she is today. Through it all, she reminds us of the power of community, authenticity, and joy—even in the midst of grief and rebuilding.
Some of the things we discuss include:
- The difference between who she was in 2023 and who she is now
- The importance of knowing when to pivot—and trusting what comes next
- What it means to be remolded by trauma
- Why she’s creating a documentary to help her family heal
- How comedy and community play a role in healing and purpose
- What to do when your dream doesn’t feel “big enough”
- The power of returning to yourself and letting certain things die so new dreams can be born
Georgia’s story is a reminder that sometimes, coming home to yourself is the bravest dream of all.
