Recent Episodes
You say you are trusting the process, waiting on God, or going with the flow. But are you actually trusting, or are you avoiding the work you do not want to do? In this episode, Fatima Bey The MindShifter exposes the difference between real faith and passive hope, and why so many people confuse the two.
This is a call to wake up. A call to participate in the life you keep praying for. A call to stop waiting for timing, signs, or miracles while refusing to take the actions that make the miracle possible.
If you have been stuck, hoping things will come together on their own, this episode will shift the way you think about trust, responsibility, and your role in your own breakthrough.

You’ve been calling fear “common sense” your entire life — and it’s been manipulating your decisions more than any enemy, obstacle, or circumstance ever could. In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey exposes the subtle, seductive ways fear disguises itself as logic, responsibility, humility, and caution, convincing you that staying small is the wise choice.
This isn’t a motivational pep talk. It’s a direct confrontation with the voice in your head that sounds so reasonable — yet quietly destroys your potential. If you're tired of hesitating, tired of playing safe, and tired of watching fear run your life while calling itself “good judgment,” this one will hit home.
You already know what you should be doing. Now it’s time to do it.

You’re sitting on gold you can’t reach — not because you don’t have potential, but because your trauma and undealt-with patterns have buried it. In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey digs deep into why you feel stuck, why you keep repeating the same patterns, and why healing isn’t optional if you ever want to access the greatness inside you.
This isn’t a fluffy talk about “inner potential.” It’s a raw look at the dirt covering your gifts — and the real work required to unbury them. If you’re tired of carrying emotional weight, tired of reacting instead of thriving, and tired of watching your life shrink under unresolved pain, this one is for you.

When Criticism Is Good
Real change doesn’t happen quietly — and it never happens comfortably.
In this episode, Fatima Bey The MindShifter breaks down the truth about criticism: when people push back, get uncomfortable, or call you “too much,” it often means you’re shifting something they didn’t want touched.
From social movements to personal boundaries to a life-changing moment with a group of teenage girls, Fatima uncovers why discomfort is a necessary part of growth — and how to tell the difference between harmful criticism and the kind that confirms you’re on the right path.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should tone yourself down, hold back the truth, or shrink to keep the peace… this one will wake you up.

You think your job is small — but it isn’t.
That moment at the cash register, the few seconds with a customer, the brief conversation on a plane… those tiny interactions are powerful.

If you’ve ever underestimated the impact of your presence, your voice, or your kindness, this one is for you. You’ll see why your “ordinary” moments might be the exact reason someone chooses hope, chooses courage, or chooses to keep going.
