How to Find Strength After Life Falls Apart | With Amy Morin

At 23, Amy Morin lost her mother unexpectedly. Three years later, her 26-year-old husband died of a heart attack. Even as a trained therapist, Amy found herself questioning everything she thought she knew about grief and finding the strength to carry on. In this episode of Celebrate Your Story, I sit down with Amy, a bestselling author and TEDx speaker, to explore how those experiences transformed her understanding of mental strength and inspired her to help millions of people navigate life's challenges. Amy shares what she learned about living with loss and finding joy again. We also discuss the important role relationships play in helping us through difficult times, and why maintaining those connections requires effort, especially when life gets busy. Our conversation turns to the small daily habits that build mental strength over time. Amy offers advice for managing anxiety and explains how our mindset can influence the way we respond to uncertainty, including the changes AI is bringing to our lives and workplaces. Toward the end of the episode, Amy shares a question she asks herself every day: "What did I do today to grow mentally stronger?" It's a question worth asking ourselves. As Amy's story illustrates, mental strength develops through the choices we make each day, giving us greater confidence to face life's challenges and appreciate its good moments.
