The Mindset That Keeps You Steady When Popularity Brings Criticism | Episode 516

Showing up is the hardest part and the most powerful part. We talk about getting back in the gym and why self-care is not a flex, it is a commitment to your health, your mind, and your future. For us, the real win is consistency. It is walking in the door, doing the work you can do that day, and letting that habit support your mental health and longevity over time.Then we zoom out to what it looks like to build Voices for Voices at a bigger level while staying grounded. Popularity does not protect you from criticism, and growth does not guarantee everyone will clap for you. We share the mindset that keeps us steady: if we feel good about the work and we know why we are doing it, we do not waste energy chasing universal approval. That perspective matters in mental illness advocacy, trauma recovery spaces, and any mission-driven organization where the stakes feel personal.We also get candid about secrecy, trust, and why we keep our circle tight. When you have been burned by leaks or watched others run with your ideas, you learn to stop announcing everything ahead of time. And to make it real, we break down the preseason mindset: you win before the “game” by practicing, preparing, and putting in the unglamorous reps. If patience is not your strength, we share a practical way to chunk the work so you keep moving forward.If this connects with you, subscribe, share the show with a few people who need it, and leave a review so more listeners can find Voices for Voices.*Donate Today: LoveVoices.org, CashApp and Venmo**Find our book here:Amazon: https://voices-for-voices.org/3ZhJ6AWPublisher: https://voices-for-voices.org/3LKL1uN***Website: https://voices-for-voices.org/4byLXgbInstagram: @voicesforvoicesTikTok: @voices_for_voices_22Facebook: Voices for Voices*Voices for Voices is a 501c3 nonprofit charity.
