Ep 24 - Mind Hacking Toxic Patterns and Healing Trauma - Hiba Balfaqih

I just love it when my incredible guests recommend other incredible guests to be on the show, and that is exactly what happened with this episode. Earlier this year I interviewed the wonderful Shereen Al Qutob - who is a corporate alchemist, no less. She led me to Hiba Balfaqih who has an equally brilliant job title - she’s a Mind Hacker. As one of the world’s top mindset therapists, healers and psychologists, she helps liberate people from deeply held blocks, negative beliefs, and trauma to live their most fulfilled life.A trained psychologist who combines traditional practices with those of energy and healing, Hiba quit her corporate job to choose this new life path - as you might imagine she’s full of guts and chutzpah and she had me hooked from the first word.We spoke about how the first 7 years of our lives are crucial in setting the shape of the rest of our lives and how we can unpick that programming, how to stay connected to what’s important to us, and how to stay fulfilled if you work in the corporate world.A self confessed growth addict, Hiba believes that if you’re not growing, you’re dying, and her energy and wisdom is so uplifting. She believes that we create our reality, and after our conversation, I felt inspired to do go off and do the same.  I hope you do too.Follow me, and the Good Intentions podcast:https://www.instagram.com/kellyharvarde/Find Hiba Balfaqih here:https://www.instagram.com/hibabalfaqih/https://www.hibabalfaqih.com/Immerse yourself in some of the books we discussed: An Extraordinary Mind - Vishen Lakhianihttps://magrudy.com/book/the-code-of-the-extraordinary-mind-10-unconventional-laws-to-redefine-your-life-and-succeed-on-your-own-terms-9781508224532/Dying to be Me - Anita Moorjanihttps://magrudy.com/book/dying-to-be-me-my-journey-from-cancer-to-near-death-to-true-healing-9781848507838/Will - Will Smithhttps://www.amazon.ae/Will-SmithWhat Happened to You - Oprah Winfreyhttps://www.amazon.ae/What-Happened-You-Conversations-Resilience/Conversations with God - Neale Donald Walschhttps://www.amazon.com/Conversations-God-Uncommon-Dialogue-Book/dp/0399142789

Om Podcasten

Good Intentions connects with experts and storytellers around social impact, psychology, mindfulness, personal growth, and health. Each conversation unpacks the beliefs and rituals that drive and ground each guest. You will hear about achievements that go beyond the conventional and tangible to a deeper level, finding the meaning and intention behind what we do.I believe that there is a deep longing in our culture and society for something more: something higher, something deeper. Material possessions and technology do not satisfy our souls. As human beings we long for connection. I'm on a mission to spread positivity, drive connectivity and to inspire others to live a more meaningful life.
