In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey explores what it means to feel buried alive — alive on the outside, but disconnected from purpose on the inside. This reflection examines how misalignment with purpose can leave you feeling trapped, unfulfilled, and disconnected from your true self.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re existing instead of living, this episode invites you to begin the journey of unburying who you really are.
