What You Survived Wasn't Meant Just for You

In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey dismantles the lie that your story only matters if it's extraordinary. Most people stay silent about what they've survived because they think it wasn't dramatic enough, painful enough, or significant enough to share. That silence might be costing someone their life.

This episode reveals why the most powerful stories aren't the most dramatic ones - they're the most relatable ones. Your ordinary struggle is someone else's lifeline, and your honesty could be the difference between someone giving up and holding on one more day.
