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.

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. Some of the things we talk about are: How to reframe family feuds so you're not stuck choosing sides Why your character doesn't determine your decisions (and what does) The surprising link between uncertainty and mental strength How to set boundaries without feeling guilty or selfish What to do when you know information you wish you didn't How to handle family drama, like wedding conflicts or sibling rivalries Why your gut instinct might not always be the best guide (and how to use it wisely) How to make decisions when you're caught between your values and relationships The key to avoiding regret when making tough choices Why small, actionable steps are the secret to solving big problems Links & Resources Radical Doubt University of Virginia Faculty Page Connect with the Show Buy a copy of 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do Connect with Amy on Instagram — @AmyMorinAuthor Visit my website — AmyMorinLCSW.com Sponsors Lola Blankets — Get 35% off your entire order at Lolablankets.com by using code STRONGER at checkout.

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.

if you've ever felt like you're one meltdown away from a wellness era or two iced coffees into a spiral, this episode is going to be your comfort zone. Delusional Diaries returns with the kind of unfiltered conversations that cover everything from habit-building and hot girl workouts to that deeply relatable sense of “i'm trying, but also… i'm tired.” it's less self-improvement and more self-awareness (with a side of Diet Coke).Halley & Jaz get real about the intersection of health, stress, and identity, peeling back the curtain on what it's like to navigate chronic illness while keeping up appearances. there's talk of gut issues, liquid diets, and the emotional toll of feeling “off” in a world that expects you to be on. but somehow, it's still funny, because vulnerability and sarcasm go hand in hand here.and naturally, things derail in the best way: from irrational fears (reborn dolls, anyone?) to the politics of bridesmaid dresses, twins, minivans, and blacking out at weddings, it's the usual delusional chaos, full of tangents, truths, and the kind of late-night debates only best friends can have. tune in, spiral with us, and feel like you're one of us in this first episode of augustTimestamps 0:36 - Jaz's and Halley's health updates 16:30 - Halley's biggest fear18:47 - Oceans, waves, and riptides 20:34 - What are we not good at 27:30 - Bitching hour 36:06 - All things bridesmaids dresses41:36 - Whose most likely to… LinksQuince: Go to quince.com/delusional for free shipping and 365 day returns ZocDoc: Go to zocdoc.com/diaries to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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).

It's a Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report! Former Secretary of State and garage rocker, Antony Blinken puts down his guitar to make a podcast appearance where he blames the genocide in Gaza on protestors for not condemning Hamas enough. Author Brian Goldstone joins the us to discuss his new book There is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America , exploring the roots and rise of historic homelessness in the U.S. In the Fun Half—where fun is never guaranteed but sometimes sneaks in—we examine how Benjamin Netanyahu's English-language messaging doesn't quite match what he's saying in Hebrew. Trump lands in Scotland, offering incoherent ramblings while UK PM Keir Starmer cleans the sod off his golf cleats with his tongue. Jeremy Corbyn launches a new party in the UK—and it's off to a strong start. It's almost as if people are not happy with milquetoast centrists that do f*** all. In masculine news, brawny broadcasters Charlie Kirk and Tucker Carlson mourn the supposed "hyper-feminization" of corporate America. All that, plus your IMs. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

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.

You've likely heard about the importance of living abundantly and giving up a scarcity mindset, but how do you actually do that? Knowing how to let go of a scarcity mindset and doing it are two different things. Attachments can weigh us down, keeping us stuck in old thought patterns and limiting our potential for growth and happiness. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Bob Rosen, a psychologist, leadership expert, and author of Detach. With years of experience coaching CEOs and studying both Eastern and Western philosophies, Dr. Rosen shares how letting go of attachments and shifting to an abundance mindset can help you unlock freedom, joy, and purpose in your life. Some of the things we discuss are: Why attachments hold us back. The most common attachments, like control, perfection, and stability, and how to overcome them. Practical strategies to shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. Why focusing on the present moment enhances mental strength and well-being. How gratitude and authenticity play a pivotal role in creating a more joyful life. Want more tips for building mental strength?

Do you feel heard when you talk to people? Have you struggled to connect deeply with others in challenging moments? Validation could help you build trust, strengthen your relationships, and prevent miscommunications. But validation is often misunderstood. You don't have to agree with someone to validate them. No one knows this better than Dr. Caroline Fleck, a clinical psychologist and validation expert. In this episode, we discuss how the power of validation can strengthen connections and foster mental strength. Some of the things we discuss are: How validation is different from praise. Why validation is just as important as love and compassion in relationships. How validation can de-escalate conflicts and strengthen communication. Simple skills like mirroring emotions and the “mindfulness, understanding, and empathy” framework. The role of validation in self-compassion and mental strength. The exact steps you can take to ensure someone feels heard and understood. What happens when people don't feel validated. What you can do if you aren't feeling validated by other people.

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. The creative outlets that can open up paths to recovery.
