This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. Today, I’m diving right into the core of what makes a woman truly strong—those qualities that set the foundation for unshakable empowerment—and more importantly, how these traits can be cultivated through the simple, powerful practice of mindfulness.
Let’s start with resilience. Resilience is that inner fire that lets you bounce back from setbacks and keep moving forward, even when life throws everything your way. Women like Glennon Doyle speak powerfully about getting up after being knocked down, using adversity as a stepping stone for growth. But resilience isn’t reserved for a select few; it’s a muscle that strengthens every time you face a challenge with intention. Mindfulness is key here. Focusing on your breath and rooting yourself in the present moment helps you weather storms without losing your balance. Research on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction shows that women who practice staying present rebound from stress faster and with greater confidence.
Confidence surfaces next—a quality that often gets misinterpreted as brashness or dominating a conversation. But for the strong woman, true confidence is about knowing your worth deep down and holding onto it quietly when others try to cast doubt. It’s not always about being the loudest person in the room; it’s about standing in your truth, even in silence. Mindfulness meditation transforms confidence into an act of self-awareness. By observing those doubting voices from a gentle distance, you find space to respond with self-compassion, not judgment.
Empathy makes the list without question. Strong women care deeply, and empathy gives them the grace to lift others up, listen without defensiveness, and build communities around support. It’s also one of the most challenging traits to maintain when stress runs high. Mindful reflection—pausing long enough to notice your own emotions before responding—nourishes empathy, making it sustainable and authentic rather than exhausting.
Adaptability follows. If you’re living a full life, change is constant. The ability to adapt—to move forward with purpose whether the path is clear or riddled with obstacles—defines so many of the world’s strongest women, from career trailblazers to everyday heroines balancing countless roles. Mindfulness practice helps by teaching you to let go of rigidity and stay open to what’s here and now, not clinging to outcomes you can’t control.
Finally, authenticity and self-awareness are the glue that binds all these traits together. When you know who you are, you can love your strengths and your flaws, chart your own path, and connect with others in honest, real ways. Practices like mindful journaling and body awareness help you stay true to yourself, building the kind of strength that radiates from the inside out.
Listen, the qualities that define a strong woman—resilience, confidence, empathy, adaptability, authenticity—aren’t distant ideals. They’re within reach, waiting to be nurtured one mindful breath at a time. Thank you for tuning into the Strong Women Podcast. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. Today, I'm diving right
into the core of what makes a woman truly strong,
those qualities that set the foundation for unshakable empowerment, and
more importantly, how these traits can be cultivated through the simple,
powerful practice of mindfulness. Let's start with resilience. Resilience is
that inner fire that lets you bounce back from setbacks
(00:22):
and keep moving forward even when life throws everything your way.
Women like Glennon Doyle speak powerfully about getting up after
being knocked down, using adversity as a stepping stone for growth.
But resilience isn't reserved for a select view. It's a
muscle that strengthens every time you face a challenge with intention.
Mindfulness is key here. Focusing on your breath and rooting
(00:43):
yourself in the present moment helps you weather storms without
losing your balance. Research on mindfulness based stress reduction shows
that women who practice staying present rebound from stress faster
and with greater confidence. Confidence surface is next a quality
that often gets misinterpreted as breath rashness or dominating a conversation.
But for the strong woman, true confidence is about knowing
(01:05):
your worth deep down and holding on to it quietly
when others try to cast doubt. It's not always about
being the loudest person in the room. It's about standing
in your truth even in silence. Mindfulness meditation transforms confidence
into an act of self awareness. By observing those doubting
voices from a gentle distance, you find space to respond
with self compassion, not judgment. Empathy makes the list without question.
(01:30):
Strong women care deeply, and empathy gives them the grace
to lift others up, listen without defensiveness, and build communities
around support. It's also one of the most challenging traits
to maintain when stress runs high. Mindful reflection pausing long
enough to notice your own emotions before responding nourishes empathy,
making it sustainable and authentic rather than with all over agreeability.
(01:54):
Adaptability follows the move. The ability to adapt to move
forward with purpose, whether the pasth as clear or riddled
with obstacles, define so many of the world's strongest women,
from career trailblazers to everyday heroines balancing countless roles. Mindfulness
practice helps by teaching you to let go of rigidity
and stay open to what's here and now, not plinging
(02:16):
to outcomes you can't control. Finally, authenticity and self awareness
are the glue that binds all these traits together. When
you know who you are, you can love your strengths
and your flaws, chart your own path, and connect with
others in honest, real ways. Practices like mindful journaling and

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.
