Episode 149

How to Celebrate Yourself & Overcome Self-Doubt This Holiday Season!

Published on: 28th November, 2025

Episode Summary

In this warm and reflective holiday episode, we explore what it means to truly celebrate yourself—especially during a season often dominated by giving to others. As we move through Thanksgiving and into a brand-new year, this episode guides you through honoring your personal journey, building confidence through daily rituals of self-love, and practicing conscious giving without depletion.

Through a heartfelt story, grounding mindfulness practice, and soulful reflection, you’ll be reminded that self-celebration is not selfish—it’s sacred.

3 Things You’ll Learn:

1. Why reflection helps you reclaim your worth and how acknowledging your growth shifts your self-perception.

2. Why rituals of self-love transform confidence and how the Hakini mudra and affirmations ground your energy and quiet self-doubt.

3. How to give without draining yourself and why generosity is most powerful when rooted in intention.

Key Story Shared

You’ll hear about a woman—much like many of us—who spent years pouring into others while overlooking her own evolution. Through a simple candlelit ritual, she rediscovered her courage and began honoring her own journey. Her story becomes a powerful reminder that celebrating oneself can ripple healing into the lives of others.

I am Dr. Mensimah Shabazz. It has also been twenty-nine years since my first major illness – a debilitating back injury that sparked me into a new reality and awakening. In order to heal, I had to go back and fetch the story–the pain and also inner gifts I had spent my whole life forgetting. My life is back in balance, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.

My new line of “work” as a transformational coach and my studies in transpersonal psychology and women’s spirituality were manifested instinctively. I wish to share these spiritual tools, knowledge and blessings with all women who are on their soulful journeys to finding peace, living fulfilling, authentic lives.
