In this episode of The MindShifter Audio Blog, Fatima Bey breaks down why real change always attracts criticism and how discomfort is often the clearest sign that something necessary is being exposed.

This episode explores the difference between harmful recklessness and productive disruption, why history proves that meaningful progress is never comfortable, and how to discern which criticism should be heeded and which should be ignored.
