What do you do when you have all the training, all the credentials, all the right answers — and none of it holds when your own life falls apart?
Dr. Cristi Bundukamara — "Dr. B" — is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, retired Navy veteran, and mother of seven who has buried three of her children. When her son Johnny drowned, when Reggie's DRPLA took him, when Miah died in her sleep with no warning, the coping skills she'd taught for decades weren't enough. What finally cracked something open was her mother's suggestion on a night she'd broken down crying: try journaling.

Out of that irritated, exhausted, one-page attempt came the Thought Map — and eventually the Mentally STRONG Method, now used with thousands of people.

In this conversation, Dr. B walks Mechelle through a live Thought Map on the air, using a real thought Mechelle is carrying about stepping into The Wholeness Network solo. It's a rare thing to watch a method get demonstrated rather than described.
