Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. I’m your host, and today we’re cutting straight to the heart of what it means to be a strong woman—and how mindfulness can help us sculpt these qualities in our daily lives. When I think about the women who inspire me most—Malala Yousafzai, Maya Angelou, or even everyday leaders in our own communities—I don’t just see achievement or titles. I see traits like resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, adaptability, independence, and a deep sense of self-awareness. These aren’t just words; they’re the anchors of our strength, and they’re accessible to all of us, right here, right now.
Resilience is usually the first word people think of when they picture a strong woman. Think of Malala, who transformed trauma into a global movement for education rights. Resilience doesn’t mean never feeling pain. It means learning to meet setbacks with intention, staying present through life’s pivots, and turning challenges into wisdom. Mindfulness helps us grow this quality by anchoring us in the moment. When we breathe and acknowledge what we’re feeling, we stop letting hardship define us and start writing our own narrative.
Confidence is next. It isn’t about never doubting yourself; it’s about honoring your abilities and showing up anyway. Mindfulness allows us to observe those inner critics—those whispers of self-doubt—without letting them control the story. By bringing gentle, non-judgmental awareness to those thoughts, we loosen their grip and let our true voice emerge.
Empathy and compassion are indispensable for strong women. Maya Angelou’s life and writing teach us the transformative power of compassion—not only for others, but for ourselves. Mindful practices help expand our empathy by creating space to listen deeply. We practice being fully present for another person, setting aside our stories and really hearing theirs. It’s not always easy, but every time we do it, we’re building the relational muscles of leadership and care.
Adaptability and independence matter more than ever in a world that rarely slows down. Strong women know that holding on too tightly to control often causes more suffering. With mindfulness, we practice flexibility of mind, learning to meet change with curiosity, not fear. We check in with our values and make decisions from that steady ground, not from panic or pressure.
Perhaps the most foundational trait is self-awareness. Leadership expert Jenni Catron emphasizes that self-awareness is where growth begins. Through mindful self-reflection—pausing to observe our thoughts, emotions, and even our bodies—we build the capacity to respond, not react. We can see when we need to rest, when we need to speak up, and when we need to lean into discomfort for growth’s sake.
Mindfulness isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a toolkit for building every quality that defines a strong woman. It’s how we connect with ourselves, others, and the world from a place of clarity and courage. Whether you’re sitting in meditation for five minutes, checking in with your body during a busy day, or simply taking a deep breath before a hard conversation, know that you’re investing in your own strength.

Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. If you picture a gathering of strong women from all walks of life—think of the courage of Malala Yousafzai, the resilience of Maya Angelou, or the everyday fortitude of women leading families and businesses—what connects them isn’t their titles or awards. It’s their inner qualities: resilience, confidence, empathy, adaptability, authenticity, integrity, self-awareness, and compassion. These qualities shape the foundation of a strong woman, empowering not just herself but everyone around her.
Let’s start with resilience. Strong women recover and grow from setbacks, not because they’re free from pain, but because they face it head on, learn from it, and keep moving forward. According to leadership expert Jenni Catron, resilience is nurtured by confronting challenges mindfully—pausing, breathing, and being present in the discomfort, instead of just pushing it away. Through mindfulness practices like meditation, women can notice their emotional responses without judgment, transforming stumbling blocks into stepping stones.
Confidence is another hallmark. Not just outward bravado, but the quiet inner assurance that your voice matters. Mindfulness enhances confidence by helping us tune out the external noise and find our inner voice. Daily mindfulness exercises, like guided or body scan meditations, foster self-awareness, helping us spot negative self-talk and replace it with self-support. This builds unshakeable self-belief and the courage to step out, even when fear tries to hold us back.
Empathy and compassion are equally vital. Strong women listen deeply, lead with understanding, and inspire trust. Kripalu meditation teacher Kate Johnson explains how mindfulness supports this—by teaching us to observe our own feelings with kindness, we become better equipped to be compassionate toward others. Mindful presence in conversations allows us to connect authentically, bridging differences and building inclusive communities.
Adaptability is strength in motion. In a rapidly changing world, the ability to adapt is what helps women thrive. Through cultivating present-moment awareness, mindfulness makes it easier to let go of rigid expectations, embrace change, and pivot with purpose, making challenges less daunting and more manageable.
Authenticity and integrity round out this portrait. Strong women live in alignment with their values. Mindfulness fosters this by helping us notice when we stray from our core beliefs, bringing us back to center so our actions and words match who we truly are.
The beauty of all these qualities is that they’re not reserved for a rare few. Anyone can develop them, bit by bit, intentionally. Mindfulness is a tool, rooted deeply in both cultural tradition and modern science, that helps us manage stress, regulate emotions, and nurture the mindset that fuels empowerment and well-being.
Remember: strong women aren’t born—they’re built, moment by mindful moment. Thank you for tuning in to the Strong Women Podcast. Be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss our next empowering episode. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

14 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where we honor the spirit and strength at the heart of womanhood. I’m your host, and today, we’re diving right into a question at the core of our mission: what makes a woman truly strong? More importantly, how can any woman cultivate these qualities—no matter where she is in her journey—through the practice of mindfulness?
Let’s get right to the point. When I think of strong women, women like Malala Yousafzai and Maya Angelou come to mind—figures who have risen beyond adversity with unwavering resilience and purpose. But strength is not just about world-shaping achievements or overcoming the biggest hurdles. It’s rooted in a collection of core qualities: resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, authenticity, adaptability, self-awareness, compassion, and a sense of agency. Each of these qualities is a muscle that grows with mindful intention.
Resilience stands front and center. It’s that inner voice urging you forward every time life knocks you down. But how do you get back up? According to experts in women’s leadership, like Jenni Catron, the answer lies in mindfulness—being present with discomfort, breathing through pain, and learning from every moment. Mindfulness doesn’t erase setbacks, but it gives you the tools to sit with them, acknowledge your emotions, and choose your response.
Alongside resilience is confidence, which is not about arrogance but a grounded, healthy belief in your abilities and worth. The Grit and Grace Project points out that self-assured women have learned to lead themselves, to sit with feedback, and to grow from their blind spots. Mindfulness invites us to notice the inner critic, to pause before reacting, and to affirm our value, even when doubt creeps in.
Empathy and compassion are equally vital. Mindfulness teaches us to listen deeply—not just to the world, but to ourselves—making space for our needs and those of others. This creates real, trust-based connections, the kind of relationships that empower and sustain us. I love how Kate Johnson, meditation teacher and activist, describes mindfulness as a foundation for building bridges across differences, fostering self-examination and deep dialogue from a place of awareness.
Then there’s authenticity and courage—showing up as your true self, even when the world expects you to play small. Mindfulness helps us quiet the external noise, tune into our inner values, and act from that truest part of ourselves. Adaptability rounds out the list, and it too is developed through mindfulness. By anchoring us in the present, mindfulness allows us to release anxieties about the future, letting us pivot with grace instead of fear.
Finally, self-awareness is the glue holding it all together. Mindfulness practices like meditation, body scans, or even mindful movement such as yoga nurture this self-awareness, giving us clarity about who we are, what we want, and how we want to respond to life’s challenges.
When you commit to mindfulness, you are committing to your own empowerment. You’re saying yes to resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, authenticity, adaptability, compassion, and agency—not as distant ideals, but as qualities you can grow, day by day.

13 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome back to the Strong Women Podcast. I’m Sarah, and today, I want you to picture a room filled with women—each unique, each powerful in her own way. What do they share? It’s not just their achievements or job titles—it’s the core qualities that truly define a strong woman and the ways these can be cultivated through mindfulness.
Resilience stands at the heart of what it means to be a strong woman. Think of Malala Yousafzai and Maya Angelou—women who have transformed adversity into purpose. Resilience isn’t something you’re born with; it’s grown by facing challenges mindfully, staying present during discomfort, and drawing lessons from every hardship. Mindfulness invites us to recognize pain or fear without letting it write our story. When we breathe through the tough moments and lean into what we’re feeling, we build that muscle of bouncing back—not just surviving, but thriving.
Confidence is another pillar. It’s that steady belief in our own worth and abilities, even when the world gets loud with doubt. Mindfulness can help us recognize our inner critic, challenge negative self-talk, and replace it with self-acceptance. This isn’t about arrogance—it’s about being rooted in who we are and the journey we’ve taken.
Empathy flows from genuine connection, and it’s what empowers us to lift others as we rise. Mindfulness deepens empathy by keeping us tuned in—to our own emotions and to the experiences of those around us. When we’re fully present in conversation, we create space for true understanding and compassion, both for ourselves and for others.
Courage—stepping up, speaking out, and persisting against the odds—is nurtured by mindful reflection. Instead of reacting impulsively or out of fear, mindfulness helps us clarify our values and move forward intentionally, even when it’s uncomfortable. It creates room for us to act from our deepest convictions, not just from habit or external pressure.
Authenticity is all about honoring our true selves. Women like Brené Brown remind us that vulnerability is strength. Mindfulness supports authenticity by encouraging self-awareness—observing our thoughts and feelings, respecting our boundaries, and making choices that align with our heart. It gives us permission to show up as we are, not as we’re told to be.
Adaptability rounds out our list—because life is unpredictable, and strong women don’t just endure change, they grow through it. Mindful practices like meditation and body scans teach us to ground ourselves in the present, navigate stress, and remain flexible when plans shift. This translates to greater ease with change and a willingness to pivot when life demands it.
These qualities—resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, authenticity, and adaptability—aren’t just traits, they’re skills. Mindfulness is a practical tool that helps us nurture each one, day by day. By staying present, we free ourselves from regrets of the past and worries of the future. We become stronger, kinder, and more empowered.

12 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome back to the Strong Women Podcast. Today, I want to get straight to the core: what truly defines a strong woman, and how can mindfulness empower you to nurture these qualities in your everyday life?
A strong woman is often described as resilient, confident, empathetic, courageous, authentic, self-aware, and adaptable. Let’s break each of those down, because they’re not just buzzwords—they are strengths that can be developed through intention and, yes, mindfulness.
Resilience is the unyielding spirit to get back up after setbacks, to learn from challenges, and to keep moving forward. It’s not inborn—it’s cultivated. When you practice mindfulness, you learn how to pause and breathe, gaining the space to reflect instead of react. This moment of pause is powerful. It lets you witness your own thoughts and feelings without judgment, turning obstacles into stepping stones for growth, as highlighted by Sarah Stonestreet on this very show.
Confidence is another pillar. It’s not just about being loud or never doubting yourself. True confidence comes from knowing your value, honoring your abilities, and having the self-trust to stand in your power. Mindfulness builds this self-trust by encouraging you to observe and accept yourself—flaws and all—right where you are. Kate Johnson, a renowned meditation and movement teacher, emphasizes this connection, teaching that mindfulness nurtures the self-acceptance needed for real, lasting confidence.
Empathy, the ability to connect with and uplift others, grows stronger when you’re present. Mindfulness grounds you in the moment, so you can listen deeply to those around you. You stop projecting your own worries and truly hear another person’s experience. This kind of empathic engagement is transformative—it breaks down barriers, increases connection, and creates more compassionate communities.
Courage isn’t always bravery on a grand stage. Sometimes, it’s as subtle as persisting when quitting looks easier, or as bold as speaking up for what’s right. When you’re mindful, you notice fear but aren’t ruled by it. You can acknowledge discomfort, allow it to pass, and take action anyway.
Authenticity means living true to your values and showing up as your real self, regardless of external pressure. Mindfulness supports authenticity by helping you recognize your patterns, break free from people-pleasing, and act from a place of integrity. As leadership expert Jenni Catron shares, self-awareness is key—knowing who you are is the foundation for authentic living.
And adaptability, that essential ability to pivot as life changes, is fostered in mindfulness practice. You become less rigid, more open to change, and able to see new opportunities even in uncertainty.
So, how do we actually develop these qualities? Start with conscious breathing. Try a few minutes of meditation daily, focusing on the sensations in your body or the rhythm of your breath. Check in with yourself—ask, What am I feeling? What do I need? Notice without judgment. Over time, these small mindful pauses create the space for resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, authenticity, and adaptability to grow.

11 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome back to the Strong Women Podcast. I'm Sarah, and today, I want you to imagine a room full of women—each one different, each one powerful in her own way. What do they all have in common? It's not just about achievements or the titles next to their names. It's about the qualities that build their inner core, the traits that truly define a strong woman: resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, authenticity, adaptability, self-awareness, compassion, and a sense of agency.
Resilience stands at the heart of strength. Picture women like Malala Yousafzai or Maya Angelou—women who have turned adversity into purpose. That ability to rise after a setback, to keep moving forward with grace, isn’t something you simply inherit. According to voices in women’s leadership, including experts like Jenni Catron, resilience is developed by facing challenges with mindfulness—staying present in the discomfort, breathing through pain, and learning from every moment. When we practice mindfulness, we allow ourselves to acknowledge that hurt or fear is there, but also that it doesn’t get the final say.
Confidence might sometimes seem like a bold speech or a fearless stance, but true confidence for a strong woman is quiet and steady. It’s believing in your worth even when the world questions it. Mindfulness plays a profound role here. By observing our thoughts, we start to recognize self-doubt as just a passing moment, not a permanent identity. Women who meditate or practice mindful breathing often report greater self-acceptance and a genuine sense of inner power.
Empathy and compassion are often dismissed as soft skills, but let’s be clear: they are the backbone of women’s leadership. When you listen deeply, connect with others’ stories, and respond with understanding rather than judgment, you are practicing one of the highest forms of strength. Mindfulness helps us extend this compassion not just to others, but also to ourselves, allowing us to let go of perfectionism and self-critique.
Authenticity and courage are next. To be authentic is to show up as your true self, especially when it feels risky. It’s refusing to shrink just to fit in. Practicing mindfulness keeps us connected to our values, helps us recognize what feels right and true, and gives us the courage to honor that in every decision.
Adaptability is essential too. Life changes. Circumstances can shift overnight. Strong women learn to pivot—not because they’re without fear, but because they know how to ground themselves in the present and take the next step, one mindful breath at a time.
And perhaps most importantly, self-awareness. So many women’s leadership journeys described in expert interviews and research highlight that knowing yourself—your triggers, your joys, your limits—is what enables you to make empowered choices. Mindfulness cultivates this awareness. It’s the daily practice of checking in, noticing, and responding intentionally.
So, listeners, if you’re looking to nurture these qualities, start with just a few minutes of mindfulness each day. Tune into your breath, observe your thoughts, create space for self-compassion. Over time, you’ll find yourself standing taller—not just for yourself, but for everyone who looks to you for inspiration.

9 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where every episode is a celebration of women’s empowerment, resilience, and authentic growth. Today, we’re diving right in to answer a question at the heart of our community: What are the defining qualities of a strong woman, and how can we develop those qualities through mindfulness?
Let’s start with the essentials. A strong woman radiates resilience—she rises after setbacks, learning from every challenge and moving forward with greater determination. She is rooted in confidence, not in a loud or showy way, but with quiet self-assurance that comes from truly knowing her worth and her abilities. Compassion flows through everything she does, enabling her to uplift others as she stands up for herself.
Another defining trait is authenticity. Strong women live in alignment with their values, refusing to shrink themselves to fit into anyone else's expectations. They embrace their true selves, even when it means standing apart from the crowd. Adaptability is critical, too. Life rarely goes as planned, but strong women learn to pivot, thrive, and keep moving forward—no matter what twists and turns appear on the path.
Self-awareness ties all of this together. Leadership expert Jenni Catron has spoken about how self-awareness enables women to take a personal temperature check, helping us make choices that create the biggest positive impact in every area of our lives. And let’s not forget boundaries. A strong woman sets healthy boundaries and respects those of others, creating space for peace and personal growth.
Now, how do we nurture these qualities? Mindfulness is a powerful place to begin. Meditation teacher Kate Johnson from the Presencing Institute emphasizes that mindful awareness helps us build trust across our differences and encourages deep self-examination. By slowing down and tuning into the present moment, mindfulness helps us recognize our strengths, work through our fears, and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.
Research from Feliz Consulting demonstrates how mindfulness supports mental health, sharpens self-awareness, and empowers women to make leadership decisions with clarity and calm. Mindfulness practices—like meditation, breathwork, and mindful movement—reduce stress and help us manage the unique pressures women face, both internally and from society at large.
When we make mindfulness a regular part of our lives, we cultivate inner strength. We start to let go of self-judgment, replacing criticism with compassion for ourselves and others. By anchoring ourselves in the present, we gain the fierce confidence to pursue our goals, set boundaries, and recover from setbacks with grace.
Listeners, the qualities that define a strong woman—resilience, confidence, compassion, authenticity, adaptability, self-awareness, and healthy boundaries—are not just traits we’re born with. They’re skills we can all nurture, and mindfulness is one of the most effective ways to do just that.

7 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. I’m so glad you’re here, because today we’re exploring a question that’s at the very heart of what we do: what makes a woman truly strong? Not by someone else’s rules, but by the qualities we know, deep down, define us as women capable of extraordinary things.
Let’s dive right into it. Strength in women isn’t just about standing tall during storms, it’s about how we rise, connect, and grow. The qualities that define a strong woman are both powerful and, importantly, absolutely within reach for every one of us. Among the qualities that stand out are resilience, confidence, empathy, self-awareness, courage, authenticity, and adaptability. Each of these can be cultivated—they are not fixed at birth, they’re muscles we build over time and, trust me, mindfulness is one of the best ways to do that.
Resilience is first. It’s that unbreakable spirit that helps us rise after setbacks. When life knocks us down—and it will—resilience is how we learn from those moments and get back up, stronger and wiser. Mindfulness helps us here by keeping us anchored in the present, rather than stuck in regret or anxiety. Through mindful breathing or meditation, like those offered by Kate Johnson and other leaders in the mindfulness movement, we learn to observe our reactions and come back to ourselves, growing tougher each time we practice.
Next is confidence. And I want you to remember, confidence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room. It’s about a steady self-belief that allows us to stand firm in our values and choices, even when no one is cheering us on. Mindfulness increases self-awareness, helping us recognize our strengths and face our weaknesses without shame. The more we truly know ourselves, the more sure-footed we become, as noted by leaders in mission-driven organizations who credit mindfulness with empowering their decision-making.
Empathy and connection are next. Strong women lift each other up. Mindfulness nurtures deep listening—really tuning into others and ourselves without judgment. This fosters compassion, both for others and for ourselves, which is critical in building healthy relationships and supportive communities.
Courage and authenticity round out our list. Courage to speak up, to persist rather than give up, and to show the world our true selves. Mindfulness asks us to examine what we value and what feels authentic, supporting us as we show up, unapologetically, as ourselves.
Finally, adaptability. Life is change. Mindfulness teaches us to notice when we’re clinging too tightly or resisting the new. When we approach change mindfully, we adapt with grace rather than fear.
To the women listening today: all these qualities live within you, waiting to be strengthened. Mindfulness is your invitation to nurture them every single day. So, start with just one mindful breath, one honest check-in, one act of compassion. You are already strong; let mindfulness help you realize just how much.

Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, the place where we dive into the heart of what it means to be powerful, resilient, and truly alive as women. Today, I want to get straight to the core: what defines a strong woman, and how can mindfulness help us nurture those very qualities within ourselves?
When I think of a strong woman, words like resilience, confidence, empathy, courage, authenticity, and adaptability come up again and again. These aren’t just buzzwords; they’re the foundation stones for every woman who wants to not only survive but thrive. Resilience is that determination to keep going, no matter how rough the waters get. Confidence isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room—it’s a quiet surety rooted in knowing your worth and trusting yourself. Empathy is the ability to deeply connect, to lift others and yourself through genuine care and understanding.
Then there’s courage: the fuel that lets us stand up, speak out, and persist even when it’s easier to shrink away. Authenticity is about showing up as your true self, honoring your unique values and voice, especially when the world tries to push you into a mold. And adaptability? That’s the secret superpower—embracing the inevitable change of life with openness and grace.
Now, how do we actually develop these qualities? Mindfulness is the answer that keeps coming up—and not just in meditation circles, but in the lived experiences of so many strong women. Kate Johnson of the Presencing Institute in Philadelphia talks about how mindfulness isn't just about finding peace in a quiet room; it’s about creating awareness in every moment, even in tough conversations or everyday challenges. Mindfulness helps us step out of autopilot, notice our emotions, and respond from a place of clarity rather than reactivity.
Through mindfulness, we learn to trust ourselves—developing that sense of self-assurance that fuels confidence. When we face stress or setbacks, mindfulness techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or simply checking in with our bodies help us bounce back faster, building resilience by teaching us to sit with discomfort rather than run from it. Mindfulness also cultivates empathy and compassion, not just for others but for ourselves. This is crucial because letting go of self-judgment and perfectionism allows space for authentic growth and connection.
Practicing present-moment awareness empowers us to make thoughtful, empowered decisions, to manage stress more effectively, and to nurture a kind of connection with ourselves that radiates outwards. Whether it’s a daily meditation, a quiet walk, or even a mindful pause before responding to a challenge, these habits reinforce our authenticity, courage, and adaptability.
So, to every listener tuning in: remember, being a strong woman is not about fitting into a predetermined box. It’s about embracing who you are, nurturing these qualities, and using mindfulness as your toolkit to grow stronger each day. Thank you for joining me on the Strong Women Podcast.

6 JUL 2025 · This is your Strong Women Podcast podcast.
Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast. Today, let’s talk about the real backbone of empowerment: the qualities that define a strong woman—and how you can nurture them through mindfulness.
When you picture a strong woman, what do you see? For me, she’s not just someone charging through life’s challenges, but someone who radiates confidence, resilience, self-awareness, compassion, and connection. These aren’t just nice-to-haves—they are the building blocks of true strength.
Confidence is at the heart of it. I’m not talking about a loud or brash confidence, but the kind you can feel—a quiet certainty. A strong woman trusts herself, recognizes her strengths, admits her weaknesses, and stands firm in her values. She doesn’t bend simply to fit in, and when self-doubt creeps in, she faces it with curiosity rather than fear.
Right behind confidence is resilience. Life will test us, sometimes in ways we never saw coming. Resilience is what allows us to recover from setbacks, to see failure not as an end but as a lesson. A strong woman keeps moving forward, fueled by the knowledge that every stumbling block is also a stepping stone.
Now, let’s talk self-awareness—a quality that too often goes unrecognized. Self-awareness means looking inward with honest eyes, asking tough questions about who we are and what matters to us. It’s that willingness to pause, to listen to our own needs and boundaries, and to reflect before we react. And with it comes compassion, not just for others, but also for ourselves. It’s knowing when to cheer yourself on and when to give yourself a break.
Connection is another pillar. Strong women know their journey is not a solo mission. They cultivate relationships, value their networks, and invest in others. A strong woman is never too proud to ask for help, nor too busy to lift someone else along the way.
So, how do we develop these qualities? Mindfulness is the secret ingredient. Mindfulness isn’t just sitting cross-legged and breathing—though that can be part of it. It’s about being present with our thoughts and feelings, noticing the stories we tell ourselves, and responding to life intentionally instead of reacting on autopilot. Mindfulness empowers us to accept challenges without panic, to regulate difficult emotions, and to make decisions that align with our values.
Women like Kate Johnson, a meditation teacher and activist, are living proof: mindfulness helps us support one another, build trust, and find healing in a world that often tries to dim our light. Mindfulness doesn’t make the obstacles disappear, but it does help us face them with clarity and grace.
So, if you’re searching for more confidence, resilience, self-awareness, compassion, or connection—start with a moment of mindful presence. Take a breath. Notice what you’re feeling. That’s the first step to embodying the strength you already carry within you. This is the Strong Women Podcast—reminding you, every day, that your strength is both who you are and what you practice.
