    291 - How to Break Free When Everyone Else Is Telling You Who to Be with David Archuleta
    Feb 16 2026
    Do you ever feel like you're living according to someone else’s rules? How do you find the courage to be yourself when you know not everyone is going to be on board? My guest is David Archuleta, platinum-selling singer-songwriter, former American Idol runner-up, and author of the new memoir Devout. In this episode, David gets real about the intense pressure to please his family, his church, and his fans—and what it took to finally trust his own voice and make choices that align with who he really is. Some of the things we discuss are: How toxic family dynamics and the pressure to please can strip away your self-trust The terrifying reality of living a double life to meet religious and societal expectations Why setting boundaries—even with family—is essential for your mental health The moment David realized he had to stop waiting for permission to be himself How making mistakes is actually a gift, not a failure Why breaking free from control can feel lonely at first, but is the only path to true freedom How to start trusting your own decisions, even when you’re terrified of the outcome Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

    290 — Feeling Disconnected? Do These 5 Things With Your Partner This Weekend to Develop a Stronger Relationship
    Feb 13 2026
    Do you feel like you and your partner have lost a bit of your spark? If so, you might be tempted to plan something big to turn things around. But, it's often the little things in relationships that make a big difference. And weekends are the perfect time to reconnect and deepen your bond. Today, I’m sharing five simple habits mentally strong couples practice on the weekends. These aren't complicated or time-consuming but they could make a big difference in your ability to grow stronger together. Some of the things I talk about are: Why spending intentional time apart can actually bring you closer. The counterintuitive reason that independence builds security in a relationship. How creating small, consistent rituals provides stability and a sense of belonging. The importance of making it safe to talk about your feelings—both good and bad. The difference between being in the same room and creating true quality time. One simple, two-second habit that can transform your entire relationship dynamic.

    Feb 9 2026
    Do you ever feel like life is just a series of to-do lists? Do you sometimes wonder, “Is this all there is?” Or maybe you’ve been told to “find your purpose,” but the idea feels overwhelming or out of reach. If you’ve ever struggled to find meaning in your day-to-day life, this episode is for you. My guest is Stanford Professor Dave Evans. He's the co-author of How to Have a Meaningful Life. Dave shares his insights on how to create a life filled with meaning—without needing to quit your job, move across the world, or completely reinvent yourself. Some of the things we discuss are: Why chasing impact or fulfillment alone can leave you feeling empty The myth of “finding your one true purpose” and what to do instead How to experience more meaning in your daily routine without adding more to your plate The difference between the “transactional world” and the “flow world” and how to access both How to align who you are, what you believe, and what you do for a more coherent life The power of asking deeper questions to build formative communities that help you grow If you’ve ever felt stuck in the grind or wondered how to make your life feel more meaningful, this episode will give you actionable tools and a fresh perspective to start living fully right now.
