What happens when a teenager decides she’s done believing lies about herself?
In this emotional, uplifting episode, Fatima Bey The MindShifter sits down with 17-year-old Janiyah from Amsterdam, NY—a once “lost soul” who thought she was too dumb to finish school. Six months later, she’s confident, purpose-driven, and determined to become a family lawyer.

Through affirmations, mirror work, and guided self-discovery, Janiyah learned that what she thought were flaws were actually gifts. This conversation reveals how shifting your thoughts can completely rewrite your future.

In this episode, you will learn:
✅ How self-doubt and labels can disguise natural intelligence
✅ The power of affirmations and mirror talk in rebuilding self-worth
✅ Why “annoying traits” might actually be hidden gifts
✅ How guidance and accountability turn potential into purpose
✅ The mindset difference between “I can’t” and “I will”
✅ What it looks like when a young woman finds her voice—and her calling
✅ How adults can better support teens who feel unseen
✅ Why discovering your purpose starts with believing you have one
