This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.

Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where we get right to the heart of women’s empowerment. When we talk about a strong woman, we’re talking about resilience, confidence, empathy, adaptability, and authentic self-awareness. These are the qualities that make women powerful—not as abstract ideals, but as traits we build and embody every single day.

Resilience is about more than bouncing back. It’s facing adversity, learning from it, and coming out the other side with even more strength. Take a woman like Malala Yousafzai, who faced unimaginable hardship and turned it into a force for global change. How do we develop resilience in our daily lives? Mindfulness is key. When you intentionally pause during a stressful moment and focus on your breath, you allow your nervous system to reset. This helps you respond thoughtfully instead of reacting, gradually making you more adaptable to life’s ups and downs.

Confidence, another cornerstone, isn’t about being loud or always certain—it’s about knowing your worth and showing up for yourself even when you feel fear or doubt. Mindfulness helps by shining a light on your inner critic. Instead of letting that voice run wild, mindfulness teaches you to observe it, acknowledge it, and then choose a kinder perspective. Over time, this practice rewires how you speak to yourself, making genuine confidence not just possible, but inevitable.

Empathy and connection set strong women apart. Brene Brown often talks about the power of vulnerability and how being open to others’ feelings—truly listening—takes courage. Mindfulness is foundational here because when you are fully present, you listen without judgment. You begin to notice body language, tone, and subtle cues, deepening every relationship. Empathy grows because you’re tuned in to not only your emotions but those around you.

Self-awareness and authenticity go hand in hand. Strong women know who they are and make choices that reflect their values, not just expectations. Leadership expert Jenni Catron emphasizes that without self-awareness, it’s impossible to recognize and leverage your unique strengths. Practicing mindfulness, whether through meditation or brief daily check-ins, helps you become aware of your thoughts, patterns, and triggers. This clarity empowers you to act from your truth rather than external pressures.

For many women, mindfulness isn’t just a wellness trend—it’s a lifeline. Studies, including those explored by Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction pioneer Jon Kabat-Zinn, show that regular mindfulness reduces anxiety and depression, boosts resilience, and builds the mental flexibility needed to thrive at home and at work.

To all my listeners: being a strong woman is a daily practice. Through mindfulness, we can nurture these powerful qualities—resilience, confidence, empathy, adaptability, and authenticity—and step into our fullest selves.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
