I'm Fatima Bey, and I'm thrilled to share a remarkable story of transformation from a recent episode of my podcast, MindShift Power. In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Janiyah, a 17-year-old high school senior from Amsterdam, New York.

Janiyah's journey over the past six months is nothing short of inspiring. She's gone from feeling like a lost soul with no direction to discovering her gifts, talents, and a clear vision for her future.

When I first met Janiyah at a girls' group I used to run called Blossoms, she was struggling with low self-esteem and a lack of belief in herself. She didn't think she was good at anything, and she didn't see a bright future ahead.

As a mind shift coach, I specialize in helping people change their thinking patterns. I worked with Janiyah to help her recognize her unique strengths and talents. Through various exercises and conversations, she began to see herself in a new light.

One of the most significant breakthroughs for Janiyah was realizing that her way of thinking, which she had been criticized for in the past, was actually a gift. She's able to connect the dots and see the bigger picture in ways that others don't. This realization helped her understand her value and potential.

Janiyah's journey of self-discovery also led her to identify her passion for law. She realized that she wants to be a family lawyer to help kids and be the person she needed when she was younger. This newfound clarity has motivated her to pursue her education and work towards her goal.

Janiyah's story is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the importance of having supportive people in your life. She's quick to acknowledge the role of her after-school program, Creative Connections Clubhouse, in her journey. The love and support of the staff there helped her to blossom.

I'm incredibly proud of Janiyah and all that she's accomplished. She's a shining example of what's possible when you believe in yourself and embrace your unique gifts.

Mind-Shifting Moment:

If you're a young woman who's struggling with self-doubt or feeling lost, please know that you're not alone. You have unique gifts and talents waiting to be discovered. Take the time to explore who you are and what you're passionate about. Believe in yourself, and don't be afraid to ask for help and support along the way.
