How did Amy Morin's personal tragedies shape her career?
And in this Yap Classic episode, we're revisiting my conversation with Amy from last year about the secrets to building unshakable mental toughness. We explore how to reframe setbacks, develop psychological armor, and create a mindset that doesn't just endure entrepreneurial storms, but thrives in them. So let's get those mental muscles loose and ready. It's time to get to work with Amy Morin. Amy, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast. Thank you so much for having me. I am very excited for this conversation. And when I was learning about your story, I was surprised to find out that you knew you wanted to be a therapist pretty early on. You know, most people I talk to, they take twists and turns to finally figure out what they want to do.
But you had a passion for mental health pretty early on. So can you tell us about that?
I knew I wanted to go in the health field and do something, but originally I thought I was going to be a doctor. And it was my first day of college. We had to dissect cats. And everybody in the room was super excited to dissect a cat except for me. And I realized maybe it's not actually the medical part that I'm excited about. I wanted to help people, but perhaps being a physician was not my thing. So I called my sister. who was a psychology major. And I said, quick, I need a new major. I think psychology, what do you think? And she said, go into social work, because at least then you get a degree in social work where you get a license, a bachelor's in psychology is kind of broad. So I switched my major on day two of college. But I always thought maybe I'll switch it to something else down the road, but absolutely fell in love with it, decided to get my master's and knew at that point that I really wanted to become a therapist.
That's amazing. And it ended up coming pretty in handy for you because your 20s ended up being a really traumatic decade for you, a really grief-stricken decade. So I'd love for you to share with us what happened because I know it's a core part of your story.
Yeah, I am so grateful that I became a therapist not knowing what was going to happen next. But early on in my career, in the first year of being a therapist, my mom passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. She had a brain aneurysm. And it was really this first huge loss in my life where I thought, how am I going to deal with this?
