What if the life you've been living no longer aligns with your values? Would you have the courage to reinvent yourself and start over? Mental strength isn't just about enduring a painful situation—it's about knowing when to let go and create a life that truly fulfills you. In this episode of Mentally Stronger, I sit down with Christine Brown Woolley, star of TLC's Sister Wives and author of the new book Sister Wife. Christine shares what helped her find the courage to leave a 25-year polygamous marriage and build a new life. From navigating complex family dynamics to embracing a new definition of mental strength, Christine's story is a powerful reminder that change is possible at any stage of life. Some of the things we talk about are: How Christine's values and beliefs changed. How she found the courage to leave a 25-year marriage and start over. How Christine's definition of strength changed over time. How she started building confidence. The role of faith, family, and personal values in her transformation. Why hard conversations and setting boundaries are essential for growth. The daily habits and strategies she uses to stay grounded, creative, and mentally strong. If you've ever felt stuck in a life that no longer serves you, this episode will inspire you to take charge, embrace change, and build a life that aligns with your values.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by Dr. Stephanie Culler — a microbiome scientist and baby gut health expert — to talk about one of the most important (and overlooked (like seriously we had no clue!!!)) parts of raising healthy kids: the gut. Dr. Culler breaks down what gut health actually is, why so many babies are born missing critical microbes, and what that means for things like chronic illness, food allergies, eczema, and even obesity later in life. Dr. Culler shares what parents can do in the first 1,000 days (from pregnancy through toddlerhood) to set their child up for lifelong health, from everyday food choices to the role of antibiotics, and how her groundbreaking study revealed that most babies around the world lack the microbes they need. We also get into practical solutions — like how parents can help restore those microbes through Persephone's new infant & toddler synbiotic (or any pre/probiotic!!!) — plus the foods to focus on (and avoid), and why gut health should be part of every child's standard care. If you're curious about how to give your baby the healthiest start possible, this one's packed with insights you won't want to miss. LOVE YOU GUYS!

Whether you struggle to stick to your work out routine or you have a hard time staying motivated to write a book, one small shift in your mindset could make all the difference. Motivation isn't something you either have or you don't. It's something you can create. One of the best ways to maintain motivation involves the way you describe yourself. Instead of looking at what you want to achieve, consider the person you want to become. Some of the things I share include: Why focusing on your identity, not just your goals, is the key to lasting motivation. How to reframe your goals to align with the person you want to become. The surprising science behind identity-based motivation — and how it rewires your brain. Four steps to put this strategy into action — and one common mistake to avoid. How small changes in your language can transform your mindset and behavior.

If you've ever sidestepped a tough conversation, ignored a problem, or avoided something that scares you, this episode is for you. Avoidance and anxiety often go hand-on-hand. Avoiding a problem helps you feel better right now, but it leads to long-term problems. It also makes anxiety worse in the long run. Today I'm joined by Dr. Robin Walser, clinical psychologist and expert in acceptance and commitment therapy. Together, we explore why we avoid, how it impacts our mental health, and—most importantly—how to break free from the avoidance cycle. Some of the things we talk about are: Why avoidance feels good in the short term but keeps you stuck in the long run How avoidance shrinks your life and disconnects you from the things that matter most to you The surprising ways avoidance is reinforced—and how to break the cycle How to face uncomfortable emotions without feeling overwhelmed Why connecting with your values can help you face the things you're trying to avoid How to take small steps toward the things you've been avoiding The link between facing your discomfort and mental strength Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium for exclusive content like bonus episodes, signed books, and 30-day challenges that will keep you growing stronger.

This is a fan fav episode. For the highly motivated driven woman reading this, we've got one question for you. What are you chasing after? When you show up in your career or your business, are you getting the respect you want or is everyday the battle for your boundaries and peace of mind? Angie Martinez, Radio Hall of Famer, The Voice of New York, Radio Hip Hop Legend, has earned the respect of some of the biggest names in hip hop like Jay-Z and TuPac. Angie went from a young girl with zero experience interning at Hot 97 in New York to being synonymous with hip hop culture and generating value beyond anything she ever imagined. She's definitely of the Hustle Hard mentality and like many of us she's had to learn how to speak up and hold her ground in a culture that can be totally intimidating. Angie's path to becoming the legend that she is was rough, not clearly defined and something we all can relate to. How do you crawl through a mile of crap and become resilient as heck on the other side of it all? You pick yourself up, decide the story you're going to tell yourself, and learn that there needs to be harmony between what you're chasing and being content where you are right now.

Welcome to Part 2 of Lisa Bilyeu's riveting deep dive with forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry. Having laid the groundwork of identifying personality disorders and their impact in relationships, this half turns up the heat with unfiltered conversation around actual case studies, the realities of abusive dynamics for men and women, healing after toxic love, and how to reclaim your self-worth and power after manipulation. Shannon and Lisa tackle the infamous Amber Heard-Johnny Depp trial, peeling back the legal layers around trauma claims and public judgment. Dr. Curry breaks down the science behind situational versus characterological violence, how abusers trap their partners, and the societal blind spots that keep both men and women bound in shame. The episode closes with empowering advice on how to forgive yourself, rebuild after heartbreak, and find healthy, secure love—plus a viral pop-culture breakdown that will change how you see relationships forever. Introspective, educational, and fiercely honest, Part 2 is your masterclass in spotting red flags, setting boundaries, and awakening to your own strength.

Alzheimer's is not inevitable—and it may even be optional. In this groundbreaking episode, you'll learn how to prevent, slow, and in some cases reverse cognitive decline using strategies that also enhance brain optimization, metabolism, and longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Dale Bredesen, a world-renowned neurologist and leading Alzheimer's researcher who has published over 240 peer-reviewed papers. Dr. Bredesen has spent decades proving that Alzheimer's is not a one-pathway disease but a network failure driven by inflammation, toxins, and mitochondrial dysfunction. His protocol has helped thousands of patients regain memory, extend healthspan, and reclaim brain performance. Together, they unpack how biohacking tools like fasting, ketosis, supplements, sleep optimization, cold therapy, and functional medicine can rewire neuroplasticity, protect mitochondria, and keep the brain in “connection mode” instead of decline. You'll hear why the pharmaceutical industry resists these solutions, how toxins like Paraquat and mold fuel cognitive decline, and what young people can do right now to bulletproof their brains for life. This episode is essential listening if you care about hacking human performance, upgrading metabolism, or extending longevity. You'll walk away with practical strategies you can use today—whether that means optimizing your mitochondria with nootropics, strengthening resilience with smarter not harder recovery, or fueling your brain with Danger Coffee. You'll Learn: • Why Alzheimer's can begin as early as your 20s and what biomarkers to track • The seven major drivers of Alzheimer's and how to reverse them with biohacking strategies • How APOE4 genetics, toxins, and inflammation accelerate brain aging—and what to do about it • The role of mitochondria, ketosis, and fasting in restoring brain optimization and neuroplasticity • Why prevention is exponentially easier than reversal and the top three actions you should start in your 20s • How to avoid “learned helplessness” in medicine and reclaim control over your brain span and longevity Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.

Do you ever feel stuck in the middle of family drama while trying to make the "right" decision? Maybe you've been asked to take sides in a family feud or you want to help someone but you're afraid you might enable their poor choices. These kinds of dilemmas can leave you feeling stressed out and anxious--unless you have a strategy for dealing with family drama. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Bobby Parmar, professor at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and author of Radical Doubt.

Together, we tackle common real-life family dilemmas that I often hear about in my therapy office and explore how to make the best decisions.

This is a Fan Fav episode. Good news ladies! If you haven't figured it out yet, there's sex of all kinds for us to enjoy, and it's not all about His parts. There's much more to sex than penetration, his pleasure, and the nonsensical pressure to perform like a porn star in the bedroom every night. This episode is dedicated to a happier, healthier sex life for the empowered badass woman that's prioritizing her health and well-being. Depending on your background, religious beliefs, and parental tolerance for the conversation of sex, you may not realize the sex-pectations society has pushed on you or the reason your sex drive is non-existent some days. Dr. Jolene Brighton is the sex-ed doc we all wish our younger selves had (but you've got her now, so pay attention!) She's the author of the book we all need to check out, Is This Normal? Judgment Free Straight Talk About Your Body. She's a clinical sexologist helping women, a.k.a. “vulva owners” get answers to the questions they dare not say allowed or in mixed company. In this episode Lisa's putting aside all the shame and embarrassment to get the takeaways every woman needs to hear today: Why sex drive is the top complaint women have, and all the things we do to ruin it If you didn't have a big enough reason to practice mindfulness, having orgasm may be the best reason yet The unnecessary shame for women around pleasing their partner and having to make their own lubrication or else What Arousal Non-Concordance is and the fight between your brain and genitals Why size does actually matter (a lot) Male centric messages about sex have been screwing up our sex lives, our pleasure and our health.We've got a lot of messages wrong about porn, about orgasms, and about intimacy. You can start here and now with an upgraded sex-ed class that prioritizes your sexual pleasure not his!

Welcome back to part 2 of this electrifying Women of Impact double feature, as Lisa Bilyeu and ex-CIA expert Andrew Bustamante continue to rip the mask off celebrity scandals and dissect the gray space between power, consent, and manipulation. In the second half, Andrew brings his spy-level skills to the accusations against James Franco—exploring the truthfulness of his on-air confessions about relationships with students and whether he crosses the line from “celebrity opportunity” to predatory behavior. Also under the microscope: the recent legal feud between Blake Lively and director/actor Justin Baldini, featuring real behind-the-scenes set footage. Lisa and Andrew invite you to consider—how do we really judge whether someone's behavior is toxic masculinity or weaponized victimhood? What does power look like when the cameras are off? Learn how to protect yourself by reading the non-verbal cues and micro-expressions signal drama in your own life. This is a must-listen masterclass for anyone wanting to level up their people-reading skills and confidence.

It was a pleasure to sit down with Dr. Nir Barzilai for a conversation that turned out to be both lively and thought-provoking. His decades of research on centenarians, biological age, and the hallmarks of aging have shaped how we think about longevity—and what's possible when we start targeting aging itself, not just individual diseases. We get into the science behind why some people live 20–30 years longer and healthier, and what it means to measure the biological age of individual organs. But we also hit a few sparks—especially when it comes to nutraceuticals and the role of metformin in prevention. I don't agree with everything you'll hear, and I followed up with Dr. Barzilai afterward to unpack some of the more provocative claims. We may just need a second round for this one... stay tuned.

Why would someone confess to a crime they didn't commit? Or why would someone join a cult? Most of us think we're too mentally strong to fall for brainwashing, but subtle forms of persuasion might already be shaping the way we think, feel, and act—without us even realizing it. In this episode, I sit down with historian, professor, and author Rebecca Lemov to explore the psychology of brainwashing and how it shows up in modern life. From social media algorithms to toxic relationships, Rebecca explains how small, seemingly insignificant choices can shape the way we see ourselves and the world. Some of the things we talk about are: The psychology of brainwashing The modern day forces that shape our beliefs and emotions (like social media) How social media algorithms are designed to impact you The Facebook experiment that manipulated emotions and what that reveals about brainwashing and social media The privacy paradox: why we give up our data even when we know better How addiction and trauma make us more vulnerable to coercive tactics How you might be being brainwashed right now without even realizing it The role of gut instincts in protecting yourself from manipulation The signs that you're being brainwashed in everyday life Practical strategies to stay grounded, self-aware, and mentally strong in a world of hidden influence Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium for exclusive content like bonus episodes, signed books, and 30-day challenges that will keep you growing stronger.

You've experienced loss and just out of the nature of being a woman you've definitely faced adversity on multiple levels. Yet, you're here at this moment and that's worth celebrating! Being resilient takes courage. It requires you to face down your fears and still be willing to go again even though you've made all the mistakes, even though you're heart is hurting, and in spite of all the trauma you've experienced.

It's not about being skinny or looking a certain way, but rather having the best relationship you can with yourself as all of these things impact your mood, how you show up, and how you feel and think about yourself.

When you are feeling overly emotional and trapped in your thoughts about stress, frustration and doubts you are having about everything happening around you, anything can set you off.

Relationship myths, communication pitfalls, and the secret science behind lasting love—today's guest unmasks it all. On this special two-part edition of Women of Impact, Lisa Bilyeu welcomes Dr. Julie Gottman, renowned clinical psychologist, world-leading relationship expert, and co-founder of the Gottman Institute. With 40 years of transformative experience, Dr. Julie reveals what truly makes or breaks a relationship, why men and women cheat, and what most of us get wrong about emotional connection. In Part 1, Lisa and Dr. Julie take you on a myth-busting journey through the psychology of infidelity, the truth about “emotional” versus “physical” cheating, and the surprising evolutionary roots of why men sometimes shut down during arguments.

This is a Fan Fav episode. As much as you hate to admit it, relationships are vital to our happiness and success in life. The relationship you have with yourself , your romantic partner, your family, friends and co-workers dictate more than you can imagine. Dr. Molly Maloof, author of The Spark Factor, believes in relationships and connections so much she's created a lecture for Stanford University called Live Better Longer. She touches on the value of social connection and its impact on long-term health and disease. Molly talks with Lisa in this episode and runs down the power of love, what intense romantic love feels like, and an entire masterclass on sexual desire and arousal. The fact that Molly ranks love in the same category of needs as thirst and hunger says a lot. In addition to unpacking the power of love, Molly also covers the power a loss of love has on your physical and mental health. So much of her explanation fills the voids we have in understanding why a bad break can make us feel crazy and do things out of character.

Ready to learn about the secret compounds, molecules, nootropics, and stacks that Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about? This episode is packed with the exact dopamine-boosting compounds, stacks, and biohacking protocols that top performers are using to supercharge human performance, brain optimization, and long-term resilience. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Lucas Aoun, Australia's leading biohacker and founder of Ergogenic Health. Known for his fearless, data-driven experimentation, Lucas specializes in nootropics, dopamine modulation, mitochondria, and functional medicine. He's spent over a decade testing underground compounds, natural molecules, and hormone-based strategies to achieve elite-level brain and body performance. Together, they explore Russian-developed enhancers like Bromantane and ITPP, and reveal how these rare compounds impact dopamine regulation, neuroplasticity, and mental drive. You'll learn how to upregulate tyrosine hydroxylase (your brain's dopamine switch), build targeted stacks for motivation and confidence, and avoid the common supplements that quietly kill your ambition. They also dive into the connection between dopamine and testosterone, explaining how to rewire hormonal feedback loops to reclaim masculinity, energy, and purpose. From libido hacks and prolactin suppression to stacking dopamine with GABA and acetylcholine, this episode gives you a complete system for motivation mastery. Other key topics include the dangers of chronic ashwagandha use, sleep optimization for dopamine recovery, the truth about adaptogens and cold therapy, ketosis, fasting, DHT science, ciproheptadine microdosing, and why mitochondrial support is essential for long-term performance and metabolism. You'll Learn: • The #1 Russian compound for explosive dopamine and drive • Why most “calming” supplements destroy your ambition • How dopamine and DHT shape masculinity and performance • Advanced biohacks for sleep, motivation, libido, and mood • The truth about serotonin dominance and how to escape it • Which functional medicine tools enhance brain energy and metabolism • How to build your own dopamine protocol using proven nootropics • Why mitochondrial health is the hidden key to motivation and mood This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, brain optimization, hormone hacking, nootropics, functional medicine, emotional resilience, and building a state of unstoppable energy. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.

Do you trust your gut? Have you ever had a gut feeling about something but couldn't really explain why you felt it? Intuition is often misunderstood and sometimes, we're reluctant to listen to it because it doesn't seem to make sense. But intuition is a science-backed process that can help you make better decisions once you understand how to listen to it. In this episode, I'm joined by Laura Huang, a professor at Northeastern University, leading researcher on intuition, and author of the book You Already Know. We explore how to better understand your gut feelings so you can make better decisions. Some of the things we talk about today are: How to differentiate between your intuition and your feelings. The “intuiting process” and how to train your intuition like a muscle. The past experiences that shape your gut instincts. The practical strategies that will help you recognize your inner voice (including the toothbrush exercise). How to use intuition for big decisions, like career moves. How to use intuition for smaller decisions, like first impressions of the people you meet. Why intuition is a superpower that can make you mentally stronger.

Have you ever felt like you needed to bounce back fast after something traumatic happened? Or felt pressured to show people that you've actually grown and become better because of what you went through? Post-traumatic growth is real. But the concept is often misunderstood, and it leads to unrealistic expectations and unnecessary guilt. In this episode, I explore what it really means to grow after trauma — and why your growth isn't proof of how mentally strong you are. Some of the things I share are: The biggest misconceptions surrounding post-traumatic growth. What post-traumatic growth actually means. Why we shouldn't jump to look for a silver lining or strive to bounce back overnight. How growth and pain can coexist — and why it's okay to have ongoing emotional scars. Why resilient people actually experience less growth compared to people who lack resilience. Why you shouldn't pressure yourself (or anyone else) to find meaning in your trauma right away (skip the '"everything happens for a reason" speech). Five areas where growth often occurs after trauma — and why growth looks different in different people. How to work through a traumatic experience and the science-backed strategies that can help you grow and recover.
