Nelly shares the reality of being in a toxic relationship under public scrutiny, the emotional confusion that comes with mixed signals, dishonesty and power imbalances, and how cultural expectations made leaving even harder. We talk about losing self-trust, recognising red flags too late, and what it actually takes to let go of a relationship that’s hurting you. This is an honest conversation about toxic dynamics, self-worth, and choosing yourself - even when it’s painful, public, and misunderstood. 00:00 Trailer: leaving a toxic relationship 01:12 Meeting Steven on MAFS UK 04:05 Early red flags in the marriage 07:40 What the cameras didn’t show 11:10 Feeling confused and doubting myself 15:05 Dishonesty and broken trust 19:30 The impact of public pressure and opinions 24:10 Cultural expectations and staying too long 29:45 Realising the relationship was toxic 34:20 The moment I knew I had to leave 38:50 Life after MAFS and rebuilding self-trust 43:30 What I’ve learned about relationships 47:55 Advice for anyone in a toxic relationship 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shivanipaupodcast Performance Planner: https://my-performance-planner.myshopify.com/ Let Me Change Your Mind 🧠 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Jan 13 2026
    If you’ve been doing all the “right” manifestation work but still feel stuck, frustrated, or like nothing is landing — this episode is for you. In this conversation on A Millennial Mind, I sit down with renowned astrologer Debbie Frank to explore why manifestation often feels blocked, and how understanding timing, alignment, and your own inner patterns can change everything. We talk about divine timing, free will vs fate, and why forcing outcomes can actually create more resistance. Debbie explains how astrology isn’t about prediction, but self-awareness — helping you understand when to push forward, when to pause, and how to work with your natural rhythms instead of against them. This episode is a grounding, practical reframe of manifestation that feels calm, empowering, and deeply reassuring. 🤍 Who This Episode Is For: Anyone who feels stuck despite trying to manifest change People frustrated with manifestation that “isn’t working” Those curious about astrology but sceptical of fluff Anyone navigating a transition or waiting for clarity People wanting to understand timing, alignment, and readiness Listeners feeling behind, blocked, or out of sync with life ✨ What You’ll Learn: Why manifestation can feel blocked even when you’re doing the work The role of timing and alignment in creating change How astrology can support self-understanding (not control) The difference between forcing outcomes and allowing flow Why feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing How to let go of pressure and work with your natural cycles A calmer, more grounded way to approach manifestation 00:00 Trailer: Manifestation, timing & astrology 01:05 Why manifestation feels blocked 05:10 Astrology explained without prediction 08:00 Free will vs fate in manifestation 11:15 Why timing matters more than effort 15:05 Wanting something vs being ready for it 19:00 How forcing outcomes creates resistance 23:40 Understanding divine timing 28:25 How astrology helps you align with your cycles 33:00 Signs you’re pushing the wrong chapter 37:10 Letting go without giving up 42:00 How to stop forcing manifestation 47:05 What alignment actually feels like 52:30 A calmer way to manifest change 57:10 Trusting the timing of your life 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shivanipaupodcast Performance Planner: https://my-performance-planner.myshopify.com/ Let Me Change Your Mind 🧠 Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Change Your Life This Year & Say Goodbye To Self-Doubt | Dr Shadé Zahrai | A Millennial Mind

    Change Your Life This Year & Say Goodbye To Self-Doubt | Dr Shadé Zahrai | A Millennial Mind
    Jan 6 2026
    One of my goals this year is to create with more intention and that starts with audio. If you’re starting a podcast, filming YouTube videos, or recording voiceovers, sound quality matters more than people realise. You can have the best ideas in the world, but if the audio isn’t clear, people click away.I’ve been using the Shure MV7i, and it’s genuinely become part of my setup clean sound, easy to use, and perfect whether you’re recording at home or on the go.If your New Year intention is to stop overthinking and just start creating, this is your reminder: raise your standards, back yourself, and begin. Get you mic here: https://tinyurl.com/bdchrs3n AD Self-doubt can quietly shape your decisions, relationships, and confidence often without you even realising it. In this episode of A Millennial Mind, I sit down with behavioural scientist and performance expert Dr Shadé Zahrai to unpack why so many of us struggle with self-trust, imposter syndrome, and feeling “not good enough”. We explore the psychology behind self-doubt, why confidence doesn’t come before action (it comes after), and how your self-image directly influences the life you build. Dr Shadé shares science-backed tools to stop second-guessing yourself, challenge your inner critic, and start backing yourself — even when it feels uncomfortable. If you’re stepping into a new chapter, navigating change, or simply tired of holding yourself back, this conversation will help you move forward with more clarity and self-belief. Who This Episode Is For: Anyone struggling with self-doubt or imposter syndrome People who constantly second-guess themselves High-achievers who feel like they’re “faking it” Those wanting to build real self-trust and confidence Anyone stuck in overthinking, comparison or fear of failure What You’ll Learn: Why self-doubt isn’t a personality flaw The science behind self-trust and confidence Why action builds confidence — not the other way around How imposter syndrome actually works How to quiet your inner critic Practical tools to stop overthinking and start acting Whether personality really can change (and what science says) 🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on mental health, personal growth, and healing! / @shivanipaupodcast ✨ Connect with Millennial Mind ✨ Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amillennialmind Shivani Pau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shivani.pau Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/shivanipaupodcast Performance Planner: https://my-performance-planner.myshopify.com/ Let Me Change Your Mind 🧠 Learn more about your ad choices.
