This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re focusing directly on the heart of what makes a strong woman, and how mindfulness helps us cultivate every one of those qualities. When you envision a strong woman, don’t just picture resilience or confidence—though those matter deeply. Picture a toolbox filled with adaptability, empathy, and an authentic self-awareness that radiates quietly but powerfully. And here’s the truth: every single tool in that box can be shaped and sharpened through mindfulness.
Let’s talk resilience first. The strong women I admire don’t pretend life is pain-free or predictable. What I see in them is the ability to stand tall after being knocked down, to face hardship, and then use it as fuel for their own growth. Resilience isn’t something you’re either born with or without. It’s forged in the present moment—when you practice being aware of your feelings, allowing pain without judgment, and staying grounded while storms pass. Yoga instructors like Adriene Mishler and mindfulness coaches like Sharon Salzberg often highlight that resilience grows when we breathe through discomfort and give ourselves permission to feel, then move forward anyway.
Now let’s move to confidence. Real confidence doesn’t demand the spotlight. It means being present enough to notice the critical inner voice and answering it with compassion rather than harshness. Through meditation, many women learn to let thoughts come and go, seeing that doubts are voices—not facts. This gentle vigilance is an act of self-empowerment. And the more you practice it, the more you’ll show up in your life choosing what really matters to you, not what’s expected.
Empathy is another signature trait. Strong women connect deeply, listen wholeheartedly, and care about the world around them. Mindfulness amplifies empathy because it teaches us to be present for someone else, without rushing to judgment or planning our reply. Author bell hooks and experts like Brene Brown have spoken about how genuine empathy comes from that place of stillness, where we can truly witness another’s experience without our own story taking over.
Adaptability and a growth mindset are crucial, too—especially now, when the world feels in constant transition. Being mindful helps us pause when we face change, recognize our automatic resistance, and consciously choose to see new opportunities rather than obstacles. This practice helps us embrace uncertainty with curiosity and courage.
The core that ties all these qualities together is authentic self-awareness. Strong women are willing to look within, to acknowledge strengths and areas for growth without harshness. Mindfulness tools—like breathwork, mindful journaling, or even quiet walks—make that introspective journey safe and supportive.

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.
