As we close out 2025, I'm reflecting on the biggest lessons we've learned about building mental strength this year. I reviewed the most listened-to episodes of the year—from conversations with neuroscientists to inspiring stories from musicians—to bring you the top 10 takeaways that resonated most with you.
Today, I’m breaking down the most powerful, science-backed strategies and insights from this year’s most popular episodes to help you make 2026 your strongest year yet.
Some of the things I talk about are:
- The #1 lesson from our most popular episode on healing anxiety
- How to "dose stack" your brain chemicals for a powerful boost to your mental health
- Why you don't need therapy to improve your mental health (and what may be more helpful)
- The surprising connection between lifting weights, confidence, and PTSD
- How to influence someone to change
- Why the belief "I am enough" is the foundation of a healthy money mindset
- The childhood beliefs that might still be holding you back as an adult
- Why joy is found in the journey, not the destination (and how to embrace it)
