Sherina is a licensed clinical psychologist, mental health advocate, and a very passionate traveler who currently resides in Barcelona, Spain.  The constant self-doubts, insecurities, fears, and comparisons she went through as an adolescent made her suffer from severe anxiety, insomnia, self-sabotage, and confusion. She had no clear sense of self or identity, no purpose in life and no self-awareness nor clear values. She was unable to achieve any of her dreams because the beliefs she had about herself made sure she wasn't made for them. She uses herself as a clear example of someone who was able to transform her life by shifting her mindset, habits, and vision. Now, she uses her experience and her knowledge to support other women in building their confidence, re-program their belief system, and create a lifestyle that fits their desires. In this episode, Sherina shares how she overcame her shyness & insecurities, what she had to sacrifice while doing 2 degrees at the same time, her time as a professional dancer, why she decided to become a clinical psychologist and much more!
