Today With Amy Morin:

Today, I’m with Amy Morin, psychotherapist, international bestselling author, and the host of the Mentally Stronger podcast. Her books on mental strength have sold more than 1 million copies.
Amy started her career as a therapist and began freelance writing on the side for extra money after facing tragedy and struggle in her own life. 
When her article, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do, went viral, it changed everything for Amy. The article appeared nationally, including in Forbes, and Amy began speaking publicly about it. Eventually, she landed a book deal (and later five more book deals) and became a best-selling author. Now she continues to create content around mental strength, and her books, podcast, and article have served as an inspiration to me and so many others. 
Today, Amy is here to discuss all things content creation, mental strength, therapy, and what it’s like to become essentially an unintentional overnight success.

Christie Rocha's and Amy Morin's Ah-Ha Moments

"(Creators), I want you to know you didn't just get lucky, you turned it into something and here you still are. Until you 100% believe that you deserve it...I don't think you'll be successful."

“Something that so many creators struggle with is constantly turning out content that nobody sees. But it just takes one.” -Christie

“You know, I've never regretted sharing my story. I think sometimes it sounds scripted or rehearsed because I've said it so many times or like I don't feel bad that these things happened, but it's just because I've said this story so many times.” -Amy

"People are so kind. I have so many people now that send me really uplifting and kind messages, and I think that is fascinating. They don't know me, and yet they send me really nice messages. That's awesome." -Amy
