Amy shares how her understanding of mental strength was shaped not only by her work as a therapist, but by walking through profound grief, unexpected loss, and the kind of life experiences that can completely change you.&amp;nbsp; We talk about the difference between grief and self-pity, why people-pleasing drains us, how boundaries support mental strength, and what to do with the inner critic that keeps trying to run the show. Amy also shares powerful insight on social media, comparison, alone time, and why becoming mentally strong often starts with the smallest choices we make each day.&amp;nbsp; In this episode, you\u2019ll learn:&amp;nbsp;  The difference between feeling your grief and getting stuck in self-pity How to stop giving away your power to other people Why mentally strong people don\u2019t avoid change How to learn from mistakes instead of repeating them Why alone time and reflection are essential for emotional health How people pleasing weakens your sense of self Why boundaries are a key part of mental strength How to work with your inner critic through self-compassion How social media fuels comparison and what to do instead Why being intentional about what you consume matters for your mental well-being  Resources from this Episode: Find Amy\u2019s books, Tedx Talks and more on Amy\u2019s website Listen to Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin Get the Mentally Strong app here!
