Summary
Psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Sue Varma joins Don Saladino for a conversation about emotional fitness, practical mental health tools, and the mindset shifts that help us live with greater purpose and optimism. Drawing from her clinical experience and her signature framework, Dr. Varma explains how small, science-backed habits can dramatically improve resilience, confidence, and day-to-day wellbeing. She and Don explore the connection between physical health and emotional health, how to manage anxiety during stressful seasons, and why optimism isn’t naïve, it’s a skill that can be trained. Dr. Varma also shares strategies for strengthening relationships, setting boundaries, improving sleep, and building a more compassionate inner voice. ----------------------------- Sponsored By: Mitopure: Get 20% off Mitopure to Target Age-Related Cellular Decline and Promote Anti-Aging and Health Longevity.
