Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Zahra Karsan.

A psychologist, life coach, and author of Six Weeks to Happy: The Ultimate Roadmap to Retrain Your Brain for Better Health, Greater Abundance, and Long Lasting Peace and Happiness.

Key Highlights from the Transcript:

• Fear and the Subconscious Mind: Zahra explains how fear, often rooted in the subconscious, can block personal growth and happiness. She emphasizes that 95% of our behavior is driven by subconscious patterns, which are survival-based and often limiting.

• Five Core Limiting Beliefs: These include feelings of not being good enough, not being deserving of love, or not being capable of success. These beliefs are common across all demographics, from teenagers to CEOs.

• Daily Routines and Stress: The conversation touches on how most people wake up stressed and reactive, rather than intentional. Zahra and Rushion discuss the importance of starting the day with purpose and calm to rewire the brain for success.

• Health and Happiness Connection: Chronic stress is linked to numerous health issues. Zahra advocates for mindfulness and emotional regulation as tools to improve both mental and physical health.

• Tools and Resources:

  • Happiness Planner: A free tool to help individuals assess what brings them joy and identify gaps in their current lifestyle.
  • Life Block Quiz: A playful assessment to uncover subconscious fear patterns and how they affect relationships, wealth, and self-worth.
