Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, the place where women’s empowerment isn’t just an idea—it’s a way of life. Today, I want to dive right in and talk about the qualities that define a strong woman and explore how mindfulness can help us nurture these crucial traits day by day.

Picture the women you admire—maybe it’s Michelle Obama, Malala Yousafzai, or Jacinda Ardern—each radiates inner strength, confidence, resilience, empathy, adaptability, and self-awareness. These aren’t abstract ideals; they’re real, everyday tools we cultivate intentionally, not just born with. And if you’re wondering whether these qualities can be built, mindfulness provides us with a framework for that growth.

Let’s start with resilience. Strong women aren’t immune to life’s challenges. Instead, they harness adversity, using hardship as fuel for growth. Mindfulness anchors us to the present, reminding us that setbacks are temporary, and our power lies in how we respond. When pressures mount, something as simple as deep breathing or focusing on the moment reminds you that you can weather any storm without losing yourself.

Confidence is another pillar of strength. In a world that sometimes undermines women’s self-assurance, mindful practices help us dismantle those limiting beliefs. Noticing and questioning negative self-talk through meditation or journaling makes space for self-acceptance. As you start to see your thoughts without judgment, you realize: confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about knowing yourself and believing you are enough.

Empathy and compassion set strong women apart. They aren’t just kind to others—they extend gentleness to themselves. Mindfulness teaches self-compassion first, allowing women to let go of harsh self-judgment and develop healthier relationships, both with themselves and with those around them.

Adaptability keeps strong women moving forward. Life is full of surprises, but mindfulness encourages flexibility by breaking old patterns and habits. Through practices like yoga or mindful walking, we learn to let go and simply adjust to the moment, making change less intimidating and more empowering.

Self-awareness ties it all together. A strong woman takes responsibility for herself, knowing her strengths, passions, and blind spots. Mindfulness heightens this awareness. By tuning into our emotions or reflecting through journaling, we uncover what truly matters to us—creating a foundation for authentic choices.

Leaders like Jenni Catron and everyday women practicing mindfulness know that strong qualities aren’t one-size-fits-all. What matters is dedicating time to nurture them. Start small: morning meditation, a mindful minute before meetings, or simply paying attention to your body during daily routines. Over time, these simple practices help us stand grounded, empowered, and unapologetically ambitious in all spaces.

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.
