Fatima Bey The MindShifter joins Claudia Noriega Bernstein for a raw, transformative conversation about how conditioning steals our purpose and keeps us living beneath our potential. From confidence issues to cultural programming, Fatima breaks down how we inherit limiting beliefs and why unlearning is just as important as learning. This episode challenges parents, women, and anyone stuck in patterns of self-doubt to recognize the thought seeds they're planting—and the lies they've been believing.

Fatima and Claudia dive into the power of words, the danger of negative self-talk, and how two friends helped Fatima recondition herself by refusing to let her speak badly about herself. They discuss why gifts reveal purpose, how conditioning shapes everything from career choices to self-worth, and what it takes to break free from cultural expectations that tell us we're only valuable in certain ways. If you're ready to stop giving discounts on your value and start living your divine purpose, this conversation will shift your mind.
