Optimism isn’t just a mindset—it’s a skill you can practice and grow.
In this episode of Let’s Talk Love, Robin sits down with psychiatrist, author, and mental health advocate Dr. Sue Varma to explore the power of Practical Optimism.
Drawing from her new book Practical Optimism: The Art, Science, and Practice of Exceptional Well-Being, Dr. Varma shares how optimism isn’t a fixed trait, it’s a skill we can all learn. Together, they unpack the eight pillars of practical optimism, the importance of processing emotions, and how meaningful relationships support our mental and emotional health.
Through personal stories and research-backed insights, this conversation offers a grounded, compassionate approach to building emotional strength and staying connected to hope—even when life feels uncertain.
