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.
