    179 — The Power of Persistence and Positivity with Singer/Songwriter Niko Moon
    Jan 20 2025
    Niko Moon is a country pop singer known for upbeat and positive songs like "Good Time" and "Better Days." Behind those feel-good songs, though, are some tough times. He's struggled with anxiety and panic attacks, and he almost quit music when he couldn't break into the industry. But he found help with therapy, and now he establishes simple daily routines that help him build mental strength. Some of the things he talks about today are: How he figured out he needed professional help The difficulties he endured that caused heartbreak How he overcame the stigma associated with therapy Why it may take four different therapists before you find one who is a good match for you The most important lessons he learned in therapy (and the one thing he overlooked but he says is probably obvious to everyone else) The importance of having a structured daily routine The simple morning and bedtime routines that were game-changers for him Why he keeps his music so positive Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium — Get weekly bonus episodes, monthly bonus content, and cool gifts (like signed books)!

    You probably grew up learning that compliance is a good thing. And you might assume you know when to break the rules — like if you're asked to do something unethical or immoral. However, research shows we often underestimate how likely we are to go with the flow or follow directions, even when those actions go against our values. Dr. Sunita Sah is an award-winning professor at Cornell University and an expert in organizational psychology. She has spent years studying the psychological impact of compliance and defiance. She's also the author of Defy: The Power of No in a World That Demands a Yes. Some of the things we discuss are: Examples of the consequences of being overly compliant How to redefine defiance for yourself How to cope with "insinuation anxiety" How to develop an action plan for defiance Why defiance is a skill and how it can be honed The societal benefits of defiance Subscribe to Mentally Stronger Premium — Get weekly bonus episodes, monthly bonus content, and cool gifts (like signed books)!
