Amy Morin, LCSW
Verywell Mind Editor-in-Chief
On today's episode, I talk with Heather Monahan, a business expert and the founder of Boss in Heels.
Tune in to learn how she helps people get the confidence they need to crush their goals. Also, hear her reveal how getting fired from her job in corporate America led her to become a successful entrepreneur.

Why Heather Monahan Is Mentally Strong

Heather had a successful career in corporate America. She was blindsided when she got fired.

But, she was able to turn what seemed like a disaster into something even better. She wrote a book, launched a podcast, and became a popular keynote speaker.

She shares what she's learned along the way with her audience. She talks about how she gained the confidence she needed to succeed, how she overcame self-limiting beliefs, and how she turned adversity into an opportunity.

People will write down grocery lists every, you know, week, because nobody wants to forget their kids' Baked Lays. But no one writes down what's so important to them and their life. And the reason why people write things down is you're 90% more likely to achieve it."

— Heather Monahan

What You'll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength

Sometimes people believe they should be mentally strong enough to endure anything, including a toxic workplace. But your environment plays a huge role in your mental health.

Everything from the people around you to the objects in a room affect how you think, feel, and behave.

When you're in an unhealthy situation, you'll waste a lot of your mental energy on trying to stay healthy. Whether you're dealing with a bully or you're trying to stay organized in a chaotic space, you'll have less energy to devote to your goals when you're in taxing circumstances.

Obviously, you can't always be in a healthy environment. But it's important to recognize the toll that an unhealthy environment takes on you so you can make the best decisions for yourself moving forward.

You never know what someone else is going through. So I try to imagine, what if that person just lost someone in their life? I don't know their financial hardship. I don't know their health situation. Why don't I put good energy out there and see what comes back to me?"
