THE TRUTH ABOUT THINGS THAT SUCK (and How To Make Them Suck Less) with Mindy Henderson

Dr. Dan interviews author, editor, speaker, mom, podcaster, and disability/ability advocate Mindy Henderson about her new book THE TRUTH ABOUT THINGS THAT SUCK (and How To Make Them Suck Less) and much more.

Mindy is the Editor-In-Chief of the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s family of Quest content including the magazine, newsletter, blog, and podcast, and a powerful leader in disability/ability rights. A popular motivational speaker (Mindy gave her first speech at the age of four as the MDA State Ambassador for Texas for the Muscular Dystrophy Association!) Mindy teaches us how to try harder, never give up, and inspire others. 

Today, Dr. Dan and Mindy talk about many things that suck (job loss, parenting challenges, grief) and explain to listeners that the wrong mindset can be far more disabling than what any wheelchair or other challenges might represent.  This episode will inspire listeners and give them a new perspective about the hard things in life. 

Mindy Henderson hosts ``The Truth About Things That Suck” podcast, is a guest contributor of “Morning Motivations” on CBS Austin, is a “Austin Woman to Watch” by Austin Woman Magazine, and one of the 50 winners of the inaugural 2022 Women of Influence awards by Success Magazine.
