The Men’s Journal’s Everyday Warrior Podcast With Mike Sarraille is a podcast that inspires individuals to live more fulfilling lives by having conversations with disrupters and high performers from all walks of life. In episode 74, Sarraille spoke with Dr. Luana Marques, a renowned expert in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on understanding how our thoughts affect our emotions and behaviors.

CBT encourages people to pause and evaluate their thoughts, challenging negative or self-defeating ideas. By changing your inner dialogue, you can reduce anxiety and avoid becoming paralyzed by stress. In the episode, Marques emphasizes the importance of mental strength, which involves training our brains to function differently in moments of stress and anxiety.
