It's no secret that HeHe is a firm believer in "Mindset is 90%" of the game mentality. This episode, she is sharing how you can mold your mindset and help support your mental health! "Stop planning your birth for someone else!" she urges listeners. When you fail to do the research yourself, you are blindly trusting someone else's knowledge and resources.
