Season 4, Episode 9: Facing the Worry Bug and Finding Courage with Dr. Amanda Skowron Romano
In this inspiring episode of the Why Not Today? podcast, host Leslie Kane welcomes Clinical Psychologist, Owner of Peace of Mindfulness and Author Dr. Amanda Skowron Romano. Amanda shares her journey from being the youngest of five siblings in a small town to becoming a clinical psychologist and children’s book author. She opens up about her "Why Not Today?" moments, including leaving a group practice, starting her own business, and finally publishing a book that had been in the works for eight years.
We dive into her personal and professional path, how mindfulness and courage play a role in her life, and how a conversation with her daughter inspired her to take action and bring her children’s book, The Worry Bug, into the world.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The power of tolerating discomfort as an act of courage
- How mindfulness and acceptance therapy help with stress and anxiety
- How real action often precedes confidence and clarity
Amanda reminds us that wellness starts with small, intentional steps and that therapy and coaching are tools for growth, not signs of weakness.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
