The Biology of Mental Strength: Genes, Beliefs & Stories with Julie Alsaker, Trey Tijerina, and Thomas R. Wilson

In this episode of Healthy Waves, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with three powerful voices—Julie Alsaker, Trey Tijerina, and Thomas R. Wilson—to unpack the deeper dimensions of resilience. We often hear that grit and mindset define strength, but what if resilience is also written in our genes, our beliefs, and our stories? This conversation bridges science, spirituality, and storytelling, showing how biology influences stress, how inner scripts shape transformation, and how community and belonging reinforce mental strength.

Key Takeaways

• Genetics play a role in how stress is processed, and understanding your DNA can guide resilience strategies.

• Mental scripts and inner narratives influence how physiology responds and how transformation unfolds.

• Resilience is not fixed—it is a choice shaped daily by the state of consciousness we live from.

• Storytelling offers connection, representation, and advocacy, especially for neurodiverse and marginalized voices.

• Community resilience depends on inclusion, accessibility, and the power of healthy boundaries.

• Resilience is both prevention and adaptation—some learn through experience, others through wisdom, but all are shaped by how they relate to challenges.

• Self-love and compassionate boundaries strengthen personal and community resilience.
