In this empowering episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we dive into the psychology of success with bestselling sci-fi author Jenny Ahmed. This conversation isn't just about writing or fiction—it's about mastering your mindset, aligning with your personality, and unlocking the real secret to goal-setting: self-awareness. Jenny shares how her understanding of her unique wiring has allowed her to write multiple novels at once, overcome procrastination, and stay motivated.
Together, we discuss the difference between blind positivity and empowered thinking, how optimism can be built like a muscle, and why hope is a practical tool—not a fluffy ideal. If you’ve ever hit a roadblock and questioned your potential, this episode will offer real-world tools to reframe failure, build esteem, and find resilience—especially when you're at your lowest.
Whether you’re a creative, entrepreneur, or just trying to get unstuck, this is a conversation that bridges neuroscience, personality, and practical positivity to move you forward.
