Today, neuroscientist Sarah Asquith-Vallance explains why mindset alone may not be enough to achieve the success we desire and why you should consider retraining your brain. Many people, especially entrepreneurs, hit roadblocks in their lives simply because their mindset limits their ability to achieve their goals. However, with consistent effort and reprogramming, it's possible to overcome these limitations by deliberately creating new neural pathways. Join us to learn more about how the brain works and the impact retraining one’s brain can have on our ability to thrive in every area of our lives.For more information on this episode, the topic, or to contact Sarah, visit her podcast blog page at https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/beyond-mindset-why-you-need-to-retrain-your-brain-for-success/Miss an episode?Check out all of our "Season  One"  Info on ONE PAGE at   https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-1/ Check out all of our "Season  Two"  Info on ONE PAGE at    https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-2/Check out all of our "Season  Three"  Info on ONE PAGE at    https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-3/ Find all of our podcast episode blogs at https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/category/podcast-episode/  Thanks for joining us today! 💕🙏🏽 It is our hope that, in addition to enjoying the episode, you have discovered actionable ideas and tips to enhance your life journey.

This week, we explore survival, pain, loss, fear and anger. We also celebrate the power of forgiveness, vulnerability, awareness, and redemption. Born and raised in West Philadelphia during the 80’s, Jahmal Allen grew up surrounded and immersed in the devastation of the Crack era. His involvement in the “street life”, from the age of 10, resulted in being arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 15-40 years-- by the age of 16. While sitting in the hole on Death Row, angry at the world for his circumstances and for what life had done to him, Jahmal had a lightbulb moment. This epiphany would mark the beginning of a transition in him that would change his life. Today, Jahmal comes to us with a message for all regarding the freedom that comes from accepting responsibility for our actions, holding ourselves accountable for our lives, living from a place of vulnerability and humility, and actively committing to choosing education over ignorance. This is Jahmal’s story. (Part 2 of 2) Note: In this two-part conversation, while we do not glorify drugs, crime or violence, we do candidly chat about topics surrounding street life. Jahmal openly discusses the case that not only altered his future, but forever changed the lives of the innocent, including his victim and the family and friends of all involved.  It is with respect for all and an intention that this conversation be one that affects positive change that we share this thought-provoking “tea”.Miss an episode?Check out all of our "Season  One"  Info on ONE PAGE at   https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-1/ Check out all of our "Season  Two"  Info on ONE PAGE at    https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-2/Check out all of our "Season  Three"  Info on ONE PAGE at    https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-3/ Find all of our podcast episode blogs at https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/category/podcast-episode/  Thanks for joining us today! 💕🙏🏽 It is our hope that, in addition to enjoying the episode, you have discovered actionable ideas and tips to enhance your life journey.

His involvement in the “street life”, from the age of 10, resulted in being arrested, convicted, and sentenced to life in prison plus an additional 15-40 years-- by the age of 16. While sitting in the hole on Death Row, angry at the world for his circumstances and for what life had done to him, Jahmal had a lightbulb moment. This epiphany would mark the beginning of a transition in him that would change his life.Today, Jahmal comes to us with a message for all regarding the freedom that comes from accepting responsibility for our actions, holding ourselves accountable for our lives, living from a place of vulnerability and humility, and actively committing to choosing education over ignorance. This is Jahmal’s story. (Part 1 of 2) Note: In this two-part conversation, while we do not glorify drugs, crime or violence, we do candidly chat about topics surrounding street life. Jahmal openly discusses the case that not only altered his future, but forever changed the lives of the innocent, including his victim and the family and friends of all involved.  It is with respect for all and an intention that this conversation be one that affects positive change that we share this thought-provoking “tea”.Miss an episode?Check out all of our "Season  One"  Info on ONE PAGE at   https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-1/ Check out all of our "Season  Two"  Info on ONE PAGE at    https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-2/Check out all of our "Season  Three"  Info on ONE PAGE at    https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/a-sip-of-the-tea-season-3/ Find all of our podcast episode blogs at https://realtalkwithdebandnia.com/category/podcast-episode/ Thanks for joining us today! 💕🙏🏽 It is our hope that, in addition to enjoying the episode, you have discovered actionable ideas and tips to enhance your life journey.
