EPISODE 45: Mentally Strong and Relationally Fit with Amy Morin
In this episode Dr. Scott is joined by the remarkable Amy Morin, psychotherapist and international bestselling author of '13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do.' Together, they’ll explore the foundations of mental strength—how it's about managing thoughts, regulating emotions, and choosing behaviors that align with our best selves. Amy shares powerful insights from her own life, including the death of the two people closest to her-shedding light on how to live fully in the present while honoring our past.
Together, Amy and Dr. Scott discuss individual mental resilience and the mental strength and dynamics for success within couples. Amy helps us unravel the significance of facing problems head-on, the value of transparency, and the necessity of setting healthy boundaries. In a relationship, communication is key, but it's the respect and understanding behind that communication that truly cements a partnership.
Join us as Amy Morin guides us through the principles that can fortify our minds and our connections, making us all the more resilient, empathetic, and mentally strong.
