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.

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.

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.

This week we continue talking about the chapter entitled, they don't give away their power in the book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't do by Amy Morin.
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.

Are the stories you tell yourself holding you back? After all, there's always more than one way to tell the same story. You could be a victim of tragic circumstances or a hero who survived them. The way we interpret our past influences our identities, but it doesn't have to define who we are forever. This week, I'm joined by Lauren Sisler, a sports journalist, broadcaster, and author of Shatterproof. Lauren shares her remarkable story of navigating unimaginable loss, overcoming shame, and redefining her narrative to build resilience and mental strength — not just for herself but to inspire and support others. Some of the things we discuss are: How the stories we believe about ourselves can shape our mental health, for better or worse. The challenges Lauren faced after unexpectedly losing both parents in one night. Why Lauren kept the truth about her parents' deaths hidden for seven years and how she finally found the courage to share. How to rewrite your narrative in a way that fosters healing, growth, and self-compassion. The mental strength it takes to face shame and use your story to create meaningful connections.

Research shows 70% of us will experience trauma at least once in our lives, but many won't seek therapy to work through it. Whether it's because therapy doesn't feel right for you, it's not accessible, or you want to supplement it with additional strategies, there are many ways to recover from a traumatic experience. From drum circles to spending time in nature, research shows you don't have to talk about trauma to heal from it. There are practical and effective ways to help you regulate your emotions, calm your nervous system, and work through the pain in your own way. Some of the things I discuss today are: Why traditional talk therapy isn't the only path to healing (and sometimes, not the best one). How drumming or theater can help release buried emotions. The surprising ways caring for animals or gardening can soothe your nervous system and promote healing. The specific physical activities that release trauma.

Have you stopped to consider what you're feeding your brain every day? You wouldn't fuel your body with junk food and expect peak performance. But many of us do exactly that with our minds.

Why consuming negativity—even for just 14 minutes—can leave you anxious and overwhelmed.

As a therapist, however, I often teach people fast-acting tools for coping with anxiety. Some of the things I share in this episode are: Why overcoming avoidance is key to breaking the anxiety cycle and regaining control of your life. How to "change the channel" on your anxious brain to interrupt racing thoughts and ruminating. A simple breathing trick called “smell the pizza” that calms your fight-or-flight response instantly. The surprising power of ice water and the mammalian reflex to reset your nervous system. How creating a reverse worry list can trick your brain into reframing anxiety into excitement. Why scheduling time to worry so you put your anxiety in its place and stop it from hijacking your day. How to build a mental strength toolbox that will help you start coping with anxiety effectively today.

When life feels overwhelming, it's easy to assume the answers are out of reach. But sometimes, the solution to your biggest problem is one you already have. Often, when we're stuck, it's not because we lack strength or resources—but because our emotions cloud our judgment and make it hard to see a way forward. The good news is that there's a strategy that will help you uncover the tools and strengths you've already used to overcome challenges in the past so you can solve whatever challenge you face now. Some of the things I share are: The solution-focused therapy strategy that therapists use to help people uncover their own solutions right away The one question you need to ask yourself to solve any problem you face Why you're stronger than you think (and how to gather proof of it) How to identify what is working already by looking for "exceptions to the rule" How to overcome negativity bias and reframe your mindset for resilience and growth A simple but powerful exercise to replicate your past wins in future challenges Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium for exclusive content like bonus episodes, signed books, and 30-day challenges that will keep you growing stronger.

Much has changed since I wrote my book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do. Smartphones now dominate the world, news spreads over social media, and new conveniences have reshaped how we interact with the world. While the principles of mental strength remain the same, we need to adjust our strategies to stay mentally strong. Some of the things I share are: The core principles of mental strength that have remained unchanged. New strategies we need to create, like setting digital boundaries. How modern conveniences, like ride sharing and digital payment options, have reshaped our view of risk. How embracing alone time and practicing gratitude can combat the modern pressures of instant gratification and comparison culture. How to use technology as a tool for improving habits while not allowing devices to foster feelings of inadequacy or impatience.

How do you handle tough situations in life? Building mental strength is a critical aspect of achieving success and living a fulfilling life. It involves developing a mindset that allows you to overcome obstacles and setbacks, and maintain a positive outlook even in the face of adversity.

This can involve setting realistic goals, practicing self-reflection, and seeking feedback from others.

We all have things that scare us. And it's not because we're doing life wrong; fear, in and of itself, is a normal emotion. So then what do we do with it? That's really what this series, For the Love of Facing Your Fears, is all about. Today's guest will be walking us through some strategies on facing our fears in a healthy way by showing us what habits mentally strong people employ in their lives. Amy Morin is a renowned psychotherapist, a bestselling author and she's devoted her whole career to the exploration of what it means to be mentally strong. Her TEDx talk, “The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong” has been lauded as one of the most impactful TEDx videos to date. Amy's personal journey of loss juxtaposes with Jen's recent experience of starting over again after 26 years of marriage–and they both discuss how fear played into their lives during these periods of grief and loss. Amy gives actionable, easy to employ behaviors that can set us on the course toward conquering our fears–no matter how debilitating. * * * Thought-Provoking Quotes: “It's so easy to get caught up in that idea of ‘I don't want my life to be different because I don't want to make it any worse and if it's going to be different, it's going to be hard to adapt to.'” - Amy Morin “Our fear meters in life are often super faulty. We think if something feels scary, we shouldn't do it and then we don't. I lived a lot of my life like that. Well, that's the perfect recipe for depression, because you live a really safe life and you don't go out there and figure out how exciting things can be and how much you're capable of doing.” - Amy Morin “When our fear runs really high, our intelligence runs really low. You want to balance that and take notice of how scared you feel right now? Fear will cause you to overestimate the likelihood that everything's going to go wrong. It will cause you to underestimate your own capabilities so you've got to raise your logic and balance out that fear a little bit.” - Amy Morin “Taking back your power is all about just stepping back and realizing these are my choices. This is my day, my life. How do I want to spend it? Do I need to set a boundary? Do I need to at least change my language so that I'm not saying other people are forcing me to do something, as opposed to just recognizing I don't want to do this, but I'm going to do it anyway?” - Amy Morin “Mentally strong people don't feel the world owes them anything.” - Amy Morin Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong - Amy Morin's TEDx Talk 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do by Amy Morin (Article) 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do (Book) Guest's Links: Amy's Website Amy's Facebook Amy's Twitter Amy's Instagram Connect with Jen!
