Lunden traces the book back to a pivotal moment at 40, when she found herself facing the end of her marriage and, for the first time in decades, looking inward instead of outward. After years spent racing through a career that had her up at 3:30 a.m. and living at &quot;180 miles an hour,&quot; she made a conscious decision to get physically strong — and discovered, almost by accident, that the same discipline could be applied to what Seaward calls her &quot;soul muscles.&quot; The conversation moves through the wreckage and reinvention that followed: a headline-grabbing divorce that made her one of the first women in America ordered to pay alimony, the tabloid firestorm that followed a single offhand comment, and the slow, deliberate work of learning to stay resilient without staying rigid — to &quot;stand like a mountain&quot; in her convictions while learning to &quot;flow like water&quot; around what she couldn't control. Lunden connects the book's central metaphor to her own decades-long practice of choosing her reactions, ending toxic conversations both on the phone and in her head, and building an emotional strength that had nothing to do with the confidence she'd already built on camera. #booksthatchangedmylife #books #library #bookrecs #bookreport #interview #podcast #chrisbulldogcollins 🚨 Grab the coolest book &amp;amp; library tees, socks, hoodies &amp;amp; more! https://booksthatchangedmylife.org/collections/all Books That Changed My Life https://www.booksthatchangedmylife.org <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42020060/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/203951730
