In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey exposes the hidden battles people fight every day and the danger of judging what we cannot see. From neurodivergence to trauma to mental health challenges, this episode reframes struggle as courage and reminds us that showing up is often the victory.

This is a powerful reflection on empathy, invisible effort, and the privileges we mistake for normal.
