Neuroscience Student EXPOSES the Raw TRUTH About Discipline and Growth ---In this episode, we explore what it truly takes to become the person you once dreamed of with Yabsera, a neuroscience student, content creator, and older sister who has built a life rooted in discipline, healing, and intentionality. We talk about growing up with immigrant expectations, the pressure to be a role model, and the unglamorous reality behind self-improvement. Yabsera opens up about unlearning toxic habits, redefining success, and how she balances ambition with internal peace. Her story is one of resilience, identity, and what it really means to rewire your mind and find purpose.SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@thebriefdivepodcast/videos?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN ON:SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/2cPd9uVZqjmEmM9VF0zuGg?si=ef2246bd89c34b4APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-brief-dive/id1551664039ADD ME ON:INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/thebriefdive?igsh=cm5iaWEyazRvMnpySNAPCHAT: https://snapchat.com/t/zzap27fGTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebriefdive?_t=8qIJLtOvM0l&_r=1DISCLAIMER: "The Brief Dive" Podcast represents the opinions of Filimon and his guests who are also not licensed professionals.
