MI Healthy Mind is a 30-minute TV talk show with a focus on all things Health and Wellness, particularly in the mental health and behavioral sectors. Seasoned hosts, Elizabeth Atkins and Michael Hunter explore a vast range of subjects (addiction,
depression, bipolar, autism etc) with valuable insights and lively conversation from popular entertainers, experts, athletes, and other newsmakers. But most important, MI Healthy Mind showcases real people, “the heroes” who have
overcome and triumphed over their mental health issues. In the wake of incredible loss, or adversity, these people found a way to turn personal tragedy into hope.
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” — Helen Keller
MI Healthy Mind Positive Thinking: Harnessing The Power To Heal

Positive thinking is more than a comforting mindset; it is a force with the potential to transform the body, steady the mind, and restore the spirit. Few stories illustrate this power more vividly than that of Robin Schroeder.
When Robin received a merciless diagnosis of an extremely rare and aggressive cancer, the news was enough to shatter even the strongest resolve. The road ahead promised pain, uncertainty, and fear. Yet rather than allowing the diagnosis to define her future, Robin made a deliberate choice: she focused on what was still possible. She chose hope. Today, she credits that decision, alongside medical treatment and relentless effort, as a vital part of her recovery.
“I ran the half-marathon on the anniversary of my cancer surgery,” Robin recalls. “As I came up over the hill to the finish line, I started to cry, because I knew that I was back. If I can complete a half-marathon, I think I’ve got this.” That finish line represented far more than a race; it was proof of resilience, healing, and belief made real.
Through months of grueling, often painful work, Robin learned to harness the power of positive thinking, even when others doubted her approach. Her strength did not come from optimism alone, but from unwavering determination, discipline, and the ability to keep her eyes fixed on the goal, no matter how distant it seemed.
Science and medicine increasingly recognize the profound connection between mind and body. Our thoughts influence stress levels, immune responses, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
This week on MI Healthy Mind, we explore the real power of positive thinking, not as a cure-all, but as a powerful ally, and the remarkable role it can play in healing our physical, emotional, and mental health.
