    Welcome to another explosive episode. In this thought-provoking conversation, Suzan Hart uncovers the hidden truth that we have the power to create something out of nothing. We often underestimate our role as co-creators in shaping our reality, assuming that things simply happen to us.
    The episode also explores the concept of victimhood, highlighting how the stories we tell ourselves can trap us in a sense of powerlessness. Suzan addresses how ancestral experiences can influence our self-perception and limit our potential. She encourages us to change our narratives and become the creative beings we are meant to be.
    Suzan Hart is a Mindset Mastery Mentor, an author, inspirational speaker,who has shared the stage with speakers like Jack Canfield, Les Brown, Earvin Magic Johnson and Lisa Nichols. Suzan’s  work is influenced by her experience in leadership development, diversity, equity and inclusion, and her passion for storytelling and mindset. She has developed  7 Mindset Mastery Principles to help us examine the stories we tell ourselves when faced with a challenge and overcome by fear. Her commitment is to help you rewrite your narrative and unlock the passion and purpose needed to become unstoppable. 
    Here are the highlights from the show below:
    1. Embracing Co-Creation: We discuss the profound idea that we are co-creators of our world, understanding the power of choice and how it shapes our reality. We explore the concept of being made in the image and likeness of God and the inherent power it bestows upon us.
    2. Faith in Action: We delve into the importance of faith and how our actions serve as demonstrations of our beliefs. The podcast explores the transformation from being a passive asker to an active doer, aligning our actions with our aspirations.
    3. The Power of Narrative: We examine the impact of the stories we tell ourselves when faced with challenges and how they can place us in the victim's seat. We particularly explore the influence of ancestral narratives, particularly in the context of black women, and the potential for rewriting our own stories.
    4. From Victim to Hero: The conversation centers on how we can shift from the victim mentality to becoming our own heroes, embracing the process of transformation. We highlight the idea that every situation carries a blessing if we choose to see it that way.
    5. The Role of Mindset: We discuss the significance of mindset mastery and its role in fostering growth-oriented thoughts. We explore the power of self-awareness and how it influences our choices and actions.

    7. The Work and Masterminds: We uncover the concept of "the work," which involves introspection and self-examination. Additionally, we introduce the idea of a mastermind, a group with a shared goal of personal growth and expansion, where minds come together to create magic.
