Summary

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Cristi Bundukamara—known as Dr. B—the founder of Mentally STRONG and creator of the Raising Mentally STRONG Kids program. We explore what it really means to build resilience, starting with her own journey through personal loss and what it taught her about mental strength.

Dr. B shares practical strategies parents can use to tap into their own resilience and model it for their children. We dive into what gets in the way of raising mentally strong kids and how to shift our perspective about self-care, self-compassion and our child’s mental health journey.

Today, I have a fantastic guest who has been through so much herself and has the most

resilience I've probably ever seen in a human being. And she teaches
