349. Cultivating Self-Belief with Hanan Merabi

from To Your Health · host Esther Avant

Orphaned by the age of eight, Hanan Merabi learned early on what it meant to mother herself. Today, she’s a nurse leader, author, and founder of Earth’s Angels—and she’s on a mission to help others build the kind of self-belief that carried her through every hardship.In this powerful conversation, Hanan shares how she turned pain into purpose and why self-belief became the most essential tool in her personal “toolbox.”We talk about what it really looks like to believe in yourself when no one else does, how to re-parent yourself in adulthood, and the small practices that help you build self-trust and confidence from the inside out.Hanan is a mother, nurse leader, certified nurse case manager, author, and founder of Earth's Angels non profit organization. Born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, and orphaned at a very young age, Hanan always knew that she wanted to help others that were in such desperate need in Ghana. At age 15, she moved to the Unites States and became a U.S citizen, still knowing that she would somehow go back to Ghana and give back to those who need it most. In 2012, she founded Earth's Angels with the dream that she could make a difference in the lives of mothers and babies all over the world. Hanan is called on to share her story around the country, as an inspirational speaker. She has been asked to speak at nursing events, including nursing school presentations, charitable functions, and many other speaking engagements.People face conflicts, obstacles, and misfortunes everyday and this slowly erodes the belief they have in themselves over time. I was orphaned young in Ghana, West Africa, due to the lack of basic healthcare, and have mothered myself most of my life. After 30 years of practicing the art of self belief, i discovered that belief in oneself is the most crucial tool we hold. Making sure that each lesson you learn becomes a learning opportunity to add each one of this lessons to your toolbox, thereby strengthening the belief you have in yourself. My story is a relatable one and is a true narrative of grit and fortitude. Sharing how I overcame all of the odds against me, motivates and catapults the audience to feel they too are in charge of their own destiny and can accomplish all of their dreams, if they too self believe. earthsangels.orgwww.Thelegacyisme.comCheck out Esther’s website for more about her speaking, coaching, book, and more: http://estheravant.com/Buy Esther’s Book: To Your Health: https://a.co/d/iDG68qUEsther’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/esther.avantEsther’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/estheravant/Learn more about 1:1 health & weight loss coaching: https://madebymecoaching.com/coaching
