Are limiting beliefs and self-doubt holding you back? Have you ever felt like you didn't belong or questioned your own worth? You're not alone.
In this episode of Recounting Life Lessons, Hailima Yates—mindset coach, transformational speaker, and author of Dissolving the Anchor—shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming feelings of unworthiness, battling suicidal thoughts, and ultimately transforming her mindset to reclaim her power.
Growing up, Hailima struggled with rejection, microaggressions, and feeling invisible, which led her to internalize the belief that she didn't matter. But through self-reflection, mindset shifts, and interntional action, she found a way to break free—and now she helps others do the same.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- How to shift from reacting to life intentionally creating it
- The power of mindset transformation and how to rewrite your internal narrative
- Practical tools for self-reflection, self-worth, and personal growth
- Why your Reticular Activating System (RAS) influences your success
