Mentally Stronger with Therapist Amy Morin

221 — Feeling Stuck? How Sharing Your Struggles Can Set You Free with Carnie Wilson


Listen Later

Our struggles often feel isolating. But talking about them, even when it's uncomfortable, can be the key to growth and healing.

Today's guest, Carnie Wilson, co-founder of the world famous musical group Wilson Phillips, understands the importance of vulnerability. From navigating fame and a multigenerational legacy in music (including her legendary late father, Brian Wilson, co-founder of The Beach Boys) to overcoming addiction, shame, and postpartum depression... Carnie’s willingness to share her struggles is a testament to the power of connection and self-compassion.

We explore how opening up about challenges can build mental strength, the importance of community, and the small steps you can take to find healing.

Some of the things we discuss are:

  • How vulnerability can become a superpower for growth and healing
  • What led to her becoming a mental health advocate
  • The role of connection in staying resilient and fostering mental strength
  • The challenges and triumphs of battling addiction and recovering from postpartum depression
  • Why shame and stigma hold us back, and how sharing your story can set you free
  • The importance of mental health advocacy and raising awareness for conditions like tardive dyskinesia (TD)
  • Practical steps to move past perfectionism and focus on progress in your mental health
