## Resource

In this episode of In the Groove with Todd and Jackie, we welcome Dr. Carrie Johansson, psychologist and author of Self Help on the Go, for a thoughtful conversation on psychological flexibility and why it matters in everyday life. Psychological flexibility is the ability to adapt our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in ways that support our values, well-being, and long-term growth, especially during stress, uncertainty, or change. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult thoughts or emotions, Dr. Carrie shares how learning to relate to them differently can lead to greater resilience, clarity, and emotional balance. Throughout this episode, Dr. Carrie offers practical, approachable insights drawn from her clinical experience and her book Self Help on the Go, designed to help listeners navigate real-life challenges with intention and compassion. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What psychological flexibility is and how it supports mental health • Why adaptability is more effective than control or forced positivity • How mindset patterns influence emotions, behavior, and decision-making • Practical tools you can use immediately from Self Help on the Go • How awareness and acceptance support lasting personal growth • Why flexibility of mind is essential for resilience and fulfillment This conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from fixing yourself. It comes from learning how to respond to life with greater awareness, choice, and kindness. 🎧 Available on: YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Pandora, Spreaker, iHeartRadio, and all major podcast platforms. 🔗 Learn more about Dr. Carrie Johansson: https://selfhelponthego.com/ 🎙️ Interested in being a guest on In the Groove with Todd and Jackie?
