In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with Oswald Newbold II — certified mediator, transformational mentor, and founder of Libra Life Mentoring — for a deeply moving exploration of resilience, redemption, and the power of mindset in rewriting one’s destiny.
Oswald’s remarkable journey from being sentenced to life at the age of 20 to becoming an influential advocate for conflict resolution is nothing short of extraordinary. Through vulnerability and unwavering honesty, he shares how he broke generational cycles, confronted the systemic forces that shape underserved communities, and chose education, emotional intelligence, and personal responsibility as tools for transformation.
During this enlightening conversation, Dr. Alisa and Oswald dive into the importance of teaching youth the skills needed to resolve conflict without violence — a mission central to Oswald’s life’s work. Together, they explore how emotional literacy, community support, and intentional mentorship can shift entire futures. Oswald’s insights offer a profound reminder that while circumstances may shape us, they do not have to define us.
