About this episode

How do you discover courage in difficult times? 

You’ve heard of or maybe even experienced post-traumatic stress, but what about post-traumatic growth? To share her moving story and brand new book, The Relentless Courage of a Scared Child, I am privileged to welcome a very special friend and returning guest, Tana Amen

Tana Amen, BSN RN, is Vice President of Amen Clinics, New York Times best-selling author, a highly-respected health and fitness expert, cancer survivor, and nationally renowned speaker. 

In this episode, Tana shares how going through struggles can actually lead to growth, strength, and resilience. She imparts us with powerful techniques, like the “four circles exercise,” that can help build empathy for ourselves and others. 

Furthermore, she guides us to remove the victim mentality by choosing to seek the opportunity in the obstacles we face. If you have found yourself struggling to find courage during these troubling times, this episode offers an empowering perspective to help you champion your way through.
