Send us a textEver wonder why doing hard things actually makes you stronger,  not just mentally, but spiritually?In this episode, Sgt Q and Doc Jess dive into the neuroscience of faith and grit, unpacking how God wired the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) — the part of your brain that grows when you face challenges instead of running from them.They get real about the veteran transition: the pride, the pain, and the moment you realize the mission didn’t end when the uniform came off. From morning routines and mindfulness to faith, brotherhood, and doing the hard work of healing, this episode shows how resilience is built one choice, one prayer, one hard day at a time.It’s not about getting over your past. It’s about going through it with purpose, with faith, and with a battle buddy by your side.Because healing isn’t weakness. It’s warfare.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcome to The Mental Health Janitors01:10 – What the ACC is and why it matters04:22 – How fear and faith battle in your brain08:45 – Doing hard things: God’s design for resilience13:17 – Morning and evening routines that rewire your mind17:03 – Meditation, prayer, and the neuroscience of peace21:45 – From soldier to servant: the veteran’s new mission26:10 – The power of community and battle buddies32:00 – Holistic healing: body, mind, and spirit38:27 – Real talk on pride, purpose, and redemption42:50 – Final encouragement: your healing is holy workBe part of our online family where faith meets mental health and broken stories become tools for purpose.Find practical strategies, real testimonies, and truth that doesn’t flinch.🔗 Join our community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1988960518109166/Listen on:🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0nPegvqPi1AO47Xbx3EvNz?si=d2cdfa086c32460c🎧 Website: https://thementalhealthjanitors.com/🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-mental-health-janitors/Connect with Aaron “Sgt Q” Quinonez:Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/SgtQ13LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/keynotespeakerbusinessscalingcoachbetabloxjudgerealitytvstarpodcaster/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/sgt.q_/Support the show
