Summary

Hosting a podcast from a sailboat in the Florida Keys is fun, but it certainly poses a few challenges (like tropical storms). But we’ve met some incredible people.

To celebrate our first 100 shows, I countdown 10 of my favorite mental strength lessons from the show so far. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Welcome to the Very Well Mind podcast. We've interviewed over 100 authors, experts, entrepreneurs, athletes, musicians, and others to help you learn strategies to care for your mental health.
0:22.9	This episode is hosted by psychotherapist and bestselling author Amy Morin. Now let's get into the episode.
0:50.8	Okay. Every Friday, I share a quick mental strength strategy that will help fix the thoughts, feelings, and actions that can hold you back in life.
0:56.1	Today is our 100th episode. So I thought it would be a good idea to count down my 10 favorite mental strength tips from the first 100 shows. It's been a lot of fun. We've met
1:02.0	some incredible people and we've loved hearing from so many of you who suggest guests or who
1:07.1	give us show ideas. Our goal is to keep creating great content that helps you grow
1:11.7	mentally stronger in the next 100 episodes too. It wasn't easy to pick the top 10. I learned so
1:18.3	much from every guest that we have. But when I looked back on the show so far, these 10 lessons
1:24.1	stood out in my mind the most. So here we go. Number 10 was our episode with Brad

1:36.2	fan of his when I read a book that he co-authored called peak performance. He does a lot of work
1:41.4	around anxiety and teaches athletes and professionals how to manage their
1:44.8	anxiety so they can perform better at their peak.
1:48.4	Ironically, though, around the same time that he launched his second book called The Passion Paradox,
1:53.8	which covered topics like stress management, he developed an anxiety disorder of his own.
1:59.2	And he came on the show to talk about what it was like
2:00.9	to have OCD. And his willingness to talk about that is proof that anyone can experience a mental
2:06.9	health problem. So I love the fact that he didn't hide it and he didn't try to pretend like he was
2:11.8	immune to mental health issues and that he also didn't view it as a sign of weakness.
2:17.3	Number nine was our episode with Dan Harris, episode number seven.
2:22.6	The day that we interviewed Dan just happened to be the day that a tropical storm hit the Florida Keys.
2:28.0	But we didn't say anything about it.
