What are the five mental health habits to anchor yourself in uncertain times?
Coming up next on Passion Struck. What if the most powerful thing you could do in chaos wasn't to hustle harder, but to slow down enough to notice what holds you? In episode 609 of Passion Struck, I'm not giving you hacks. I'm giving you something deeper. Five small habits backed by science. grounded in meaning that can hold you steady when everything around you feels like it's shifting.
Because mental health doesn't start at collapse. It starts in the moments we stop showing up for ourselves and the quiet ones when we finally do. Let's talk about how to find your footing again. Welcome to Passion Struck.
Hi, I'm your host, John R. Miles, and on the show, we decipher the secrets, tips, and guidance of the world's most inspiring people and turn their wisdom into practical advice for you and those around you. Our mission is to help you unlock the power of intentionality so that you can become the best version of yourself.
If you're new to the show, I offer advice and answer listener questions on Fridays. We have long-form interviews the rest of the week with guests ranging from astronauts to authors, CEOs, creators, innovators, scientists, military leaders, visionaries, and athletes. Now, let's go out there and become PassionStruck. Hello, everyone. John here and welcome to Episode 607 of Passion Struck.
Before we dive in, I want to take a moment to thank you. These past two weeks have been filled with milestones for the show. From being named the number three life leadership podcast by a million podcasts to winning the Gold Stevie Award for Best Independent Podcast at the 2025 American Business Awards. And now to launching our brand new clothing line.
And while all those honors I'm proud of, what they really reflect is you, the community, this movement, people who don't just consume content, but engage with it, who want to live with more clarity, more courage, more intention. That's why this month matters so much.
Because May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and here at PassionStruck, we're using every episode this month to talk about the things we too often push aside, the internal world behind our outer success. This week alone brought two powerful conversations into that spotlight.
On Tuesday, I sat down with Dr. Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist whose work explores how practices like meditation, reflection, and even prayer don't just influence our mindset, they physically reshape your brain. It's a powerful reminder that mental health isn't just emotional, it's neurological and that we actually train our minds to become more grounded, more peaceful, more whole.
Then on Thursday, I spoke with Dr. Tiffany Moon, an anesthesiologist, entrepreneur, mother, and author of the new book, Joy Prescriptions. We talked about how joy isn't a reward for getting through the hard stuff. It's a daily practice, a mental health discipline, one that lets you stay emotionally connected even when life feels noisy, uncertain, or overwhelming.
