Podcasts about mental strength

We've been sold a myth: that mental toughness means gritting your teeth and pushing through, disregarding their emotions entirely. The people who actually build lasting resilience do something different. They get honest with what they feel and investigate it. They notice when their mind drifts into yesterday's mistake or tomorrow's fear, understanding why helps them choose the present instead. They learn to tell the difference between what they want right now and what they actually value and focus on what matters to them. Practice radical honesty with your own feelings, not just others' Catch and interrupt patterns of rumination or future-worry Choose your long-term values over your short-term impulse, deliberately Change how you relate to your mind, and everything else starts to shift.

In this episode of The Child Psych Podcast, Tammy sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen, physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, founder of Amen Clinics, and author of *Raising Mentally Strong Kids", for a powerful conversation about children's brain health.Dr. Amen explains why we need to shift the way we talk about “mental health” and begin thinking more deeply about brain health. He shares how children's brains are shaped by everyday choices — including nutrition, sleep, movement, screens, stress, connection, substances, and the environments they grow up in.Together, Tammy and Dr. Amen explore how parents can teach children to love and care for their brains, rather than simply nagging them about what not to do. They discuss practical ways to support children with ADHD, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, and low resilience by looking at the brain and body as deeply connected systems.In this episode, we discuss:▪️ Why “mental health” is really brain health▪️ How brain health impacts anxiety, ADHD, mood, learning, and resilience▪️ Why gut health matters for children's emotional well-being▪️ The role of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and blood sugar regulation▪️ Why screens and social media can affect dopamine and motivation▪️ The importance of delaying smartphones and setting technology boundaries▪️ How sleep, movement, sunlight, and exercise support the developing brain▪️ Why connection, listening, and attachment help protect children's mental health▪️ How parents can build “brain reserve” and resilience in their children▪️ What parents can do to model brain-healthy habits at homeDr. Amen reminds us that children make better choices when they understand their brains. When kids learn to ask, “Is this good for my brain or bad for it?” they begin to build a foundation for healthier decisions, stronger relationships, greater resilience, and lifelong well-being.This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, clinicians, and anyone who wants to help children grow strong, healthy brains.Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, award-winning researcher, and founder of Amen Clinics, which has 11 locations across the United States. His mission is to end mental illness by creating a revolution in brain health. Amen Clinics uses brain SPECT imaging as part of its clinical approach and reports having one of the world's largest databases of brain scans related to behavior, with scans from patients across 155 countries. Dr. Amen is also a bestselling author whose work focuses on brain health, mental health, ADHD, anxiety, addiction, trauma, resilience, and helping families build healthier brains. Hosted on Acast.

“Not everybody needs therapy. I'm a therapist and I'll tell you first.” — Amy Morin Is an epidemic of mental weakness sweeping America? Readers of the Wall Street Journal certainly might think so, given a couple of recent articles. In one, it reports on burnt-out singles who are using spreadsheets to evaluate their dates. In the other, young adults are taking their phones to social events and letting AI do their talking. Sad. So I invited Ms Mental Strength herself, Amy Morin — host of the Mentally Stronger podcast and author of The Mental Strength Playbook — to ask what's happened to American self-confidence in our AI age. Morin sees it daily in her own therapy office with patients relying on ChatGPT to set boundaries with their mothers-in-law. In a world of information overload, she argues, we've come to believe there must be a medical solution to all our complexities — forgetting that relationships are an art, not a science, and that conflict and awkward silences are features of human life rather than bugs. So the dinner-party guests who sneak off with their pocket supercomputers to the bathroom to ask ChatGPT for five “interesting” questions come back with canned questions that make them sound even less interesting. In contrast, Morin argues, real social confidence is built by taking risks. And it's no longer a risk, she suggests, to go to a therapist. It's become the equivalent of slinking into the bathroom with your phone to prompt conversation. Yes, this therapist worries we live in an overly therapeutic culture. Anxiety is normal, Morin says. But ADHD diagnoses and even autism have become a kind of moral passport in America. It's almost as if people should be anxious if they're not anxious. Her prescription is free. Not even the cost of a therapy session. Ask yourself, at the end of every day, what did I do today to grow mentally stronger? It's like going to the gym. Build up your mental strength. Become self-reliant. The standard American fix. That will kick your therapy habit. That will end the epidemic of mental weakness now engulfing the United States. Five Takeaways •       AI Is Doing Our Talking. The Wall Street Journal reports singles running spreadsheets on their dates and young adults letting AI script their conversations in person — and Morin sees the same thing in her therapy office, where clients ask ChatGPT how to set boundaries with their in-laws. The root, she argues, is information overload: because we can look up how to fix a sink, we assume there's a scientific way to reject a suitor or confront a friend. But relationships are an art, not a science. There is supposed to be tension; conflict isn't horrible; real human conversations — with questions, uncertainty, and lulls — are essential. What could be more important than managing your own relationships yourself?•       Avoidance Never Builds Confidence. The dinner-party guest who hides in the bathroom asking ChatGPT for five interesting questions comes out asking canned questions and listening to no one — panicking about what was next on the list. Relying on technology for what makes us insecure, Morin argues, is avoidance dressed as help: skills we don't practice diminish, so the app makes us worse, not better. Nor is the polished online persona sustainable — like fake photos on a dating profile, the eloquence collapses at the second coffee. Connection comes from vulnerability, not perfection: “I really struggle with X” bonds people; the perfect question does not.•       Thirteen Things, Fifty Million Readers. Morin's authority is autobiographical. Her mother died when she was 23; on the third anniversary of that death, her 26-year-old husband died of a heart attack; later her father-in-law received a terminal cancer diagnosis. On one of the worst days of her life she wrote herself a letter — 13 things mentally strong people don't do — and read it over and over. Published online for what she assumed would be five readers, it reached fifty million and became seven books in more than 45 languages. Mental strength, she learned, isn't resilience-as-bracing: it's getting the most out of life on the emotional roller coaster — good times included.•       Not Everybody Needs Therapy. Asked whether we live in an overly therapeutic culture, this therapist says yes. Anxiety is a normal emotion — without it you wouldn't look both ways — but pandemic-era applause for disclosure watered down the difference between sadness and clinical depression, awkwardness and social anxiety disorder. TikTok quizzes hand out ADHD; “burnout” now means tired; autism risks becoming a passport; and self-diagnosis becomes self-fulfilling prophecy. Meanwhile 96 percent of college students say they arrived academically prepared — and most say they arrived emotionally unprepared. As editor-in-chief of Verywell Mind, Morin went undercover on the online-therapy platforms: some therapists were excellent; others gave canned advice that frightened her. And the worried well, she warns, clog the six-month waiting lists the seriously ill cannot afford.•       Your Body Believes What Your Brain Tells It. The Guardian's Emma Beddington recently asked whether Morin's “power phrases” could turn a self-described spineless worm into a go-getter. Answer: yes — walk into a room thinking nobody likes me and your body language obliges; walk in resolved to do your best and it obliges again. Nobody changes their life by sitting on the couch thinking positive — action is required — but thought is the first step. Her daily practice: ask, what did I do today to grow mentally stronger? And the anger all around us? How we treat others reflects how we feel about ourselves — the troll's cruelty is a quick boost for a self he can't stand. Technology, finally, cuts both ways: never has expert advice been this free. Feed your mind well or feed it junk. Up to you. About the Guest Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, mental strength trainer, and internationally bestselling author whose books — including 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do — have sold more than a million copies in over 45 languages. She has practiced therapy for more than twenty years, served as editor-in-chief of Verywell Mind, and hosts the award-winning Mentally Stronger podcast; her TEDx talk, “The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong,” is among the most viewed of all time with more than 25 million views.

What does it take to dive more than 70 meters beneath the surface on a single breath?In this episode, we sit down with Salma Shaker, one of Saudi Arabia's leading freedivers, whose journey has taken her from the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea to the world's most prestigious freediving competitions. Salma shares the mindset required to push the limits of human performance, explaining why freediving is far more about mental strength than physical ability. She opens up about overcoming fear, dealing with grief, building discipline, and the life lessons she's learned from spending countless hours beneath the surface. We also explore the remarkable underwater world of the Red Sea, the future of freediving in Saudi Arabia, shark misconceptions, marine conservation, and Salma's work with Red Sea Global and Coralium to help protect one of the planet's most extraordinary marine ecosystems. 0:00 Intro2:46 What a 70-Meter Dive Really Feels Like4:57 Growing Up on the Red Sea7:08 How Salma Discovered Freediving9:11 Friendship, Rivalry & Miriam's Influence10:48 Why Freediving Became an Obsession12:25 The Journey from 20 to 70 Meters17:07 Training, Breathwork & Mental Preparation21:51 Managing Fear and Anxiety Underwater24:44 How the Ocean Changed Her Life27:35 Knowing Your Limits: Awareness & Self-Control32:42 The Incident That Changed Everything38:44 Grief, Family & Finding Perspective43:05 The Future of Freediving in Saudi Arabia47:27 What Makes the Red Sea So Special56:38 Red Sea Global, Coralium & Marine Conservation1:04:44 IWC Minutes1:07:21 Shark Encounters & Ocean Myths1:15:56 The Hardest Part: Going Down or Coming Back Up?1:22:55 Control, Patience, Courage & Knowing Your Limits1:24:37 Final Reflections

Many of us have been taught that being mentally strong means pushing through, hiding our emotions, and pretending we're okay.In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist and bestselling author Amy Morin to explore the difference between mental toughness and mental strength.We talk about anxiety, grief, emotional suppression, avoidance, self-awareness, uncertainty, vulnerability, resilience, unhealthy coping strategies, and why acknowledging what you're feeling is often the strongest thing you can do.This isn't just a conversation about mental health. It's about challenging the belief that strength means suffering in silence, and learning how to stop running from what you're carrying so you can begin moving forward.Amy Morin is a psychotherapist, bestselling author of the 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do series, TEDx speaker, and one of the world's leading voices on mental strength. Through both research and her own experiences with profound loss, she helps people build resilience in a healthier, more honest way.Timestamps:(00:00) Introduction: Toughness vs Strength(01:15) The Cost of Suppression(04:10) Pressure and Self Honesty(07:04) Emotions as Information(09:31) Feeling to Heal(11:53) Distraction Done Right(15:09) Ambition and Overloading(18:24) Tolerating Uncertainty(24:12) Control and Anxiety Loops(29:42) Exposure the Smart Way(33:03) Practice Versus Winging It(35:39) Pre Game Rituals(37:51) Saying No To Focus(41:26) Stop Copying Formulas(45:03) Define Your Own Success(47:24) Create Without Permission(51:59) Money Values Tradeoffs(53:37) Grief To Viral Breakthrough(58:16) Rethinking Mental Strength(01:01:19) Advice And FarewellJoin the Move Your Mind Community:go.nickbracks.com/mymcommunityCheck out Portal Drinks:https://portaldrink.com/Connect with Nick:Instagram: https://instagram.com/nickbracksWebsite: http://nickbracks.comEmail: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Amy:https://amymorinlcsw.com/ Hosted on Acast.

The New York Knicks just ended a 53-year championship drought. And Norense was in a Brooklyn bar watching strangers from every culture, background, and walk of life — hugging, crying, screaming, and celebrating together.And God used an orange basketball to teach him something about isolation, community, and why the enemy's greatest weapon isn't your past. It's getting you alone.This episode is a raw, unscripted download from Brooklyn — part testimony, part teaching, part real talk — about what happens when you stop hiding behind the pressure to have it all figured out and start actually doing life with people.From church hurt after losing his sister, to being moved to tears by a stranger who saw him clearly, to watching Jalen Brunson silence every doubter — Norense weaves it all together into one central truth: you were never meant to do this alone.In this episode:Why the enemy's greatest strategy is isolation — and how shame, hurt, and "I'm good" keep you locked in itWhat the Knicks' championship run teaches about being counted out, staying the course, and proving doubters wrong without making it about themThe danger of pseudo-vulnerability — saying how you feel without the facts to face your fightWhy "feeling, feeling, feeling" without healing is just a cycle — and how to actually break itWhat church hurt looks like, why it's real, and how to not let it become a reason to isolate from community entirelyWhy being annoyingly curious about other people is one of the most powerful spiritual practices you haveA live testimony of being prayed over by a stranger who saw him — and breaking down in tears because God used her to say I see youKey Truth: "The enemy fights in isolation. There's no condemnation in Christ Jesus — so step in, show up, and stop letting shame keep you small."Key Verse: Hebrews 10:25 — Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another.If this episode hit you:Rate and review the Mind Bully Podcast — it helps more homes and hearts find this message.

Want more mental strength plays? Pick up a copy of The Mental Strength Playbook. Do you procrastinate more than you'd like to admit? You've probably told yourself the problem is willpower, motivation, or self-discipline. But, procrastination usually has nothing to do with those things. It has to do with trying to avoid an uncomfortable feeling. Fortunately, there's a simple mental strength play that can help you start taking action fast. And the best news is, in less than a minute you can get yourself working on that project. It's backed by science and it can help you get moving on those tasks you dread. Some of the things I talk about are: Why calling yourself "lazy" or "undisciplined" is the exact story that keeps you stuck—and what's really driving your procrastination. How dread quietly turns a small task into a huge source of dread. Why procrastination thrives in isolation. The "Text a Motivation Buddy" play—and how I used it to finally edit the section of my book I'd been avoiding for weeks. The three science-backed reasons a single text message can do what willpower can't. How to run the play in five steps, including the specific way to word your text so it actually works. The buddy you should never pick (the lovable friend who'll talk you into lunch instead). The simple "time swap" variation that gets you and a friend both unstuck at once.
