In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey dismantles the pressure to “reach your potential” and reveals a powerful truth: your potential is not something to be cracked open, fixed, or forced. It is already complete.
Using the metaphor of an orange seed, this episode explores why burnout happens when we try to force growth, and how real expansion comes from cultivating the right environment for what is already encoded within you.
This is a reflection on patience, trust, alignment, and learning to partner with your own design.
