Hadiiya Barbel is an Emmy Award winning transformation artist, Soul-prenuer, Educator, Speaker, Coach, Energy Healer and wellness lifestyle influencer. In this episode, she shares one of the bravest decisions she’s ever made, to remove her breast implants, and how that decision freed her from a weight, mindset and way of being that was no longer serving her.
Since then she’s found healing in circle, and joy in integrating and fully expressing all of who she is, and how she shares her gifts with the world.

Power Quotes from the Show
Removing her Breast Implants
“It was just too much. This is weight I’ve been carrying, from the old mindset, and the old relationship, from an old life. That’s no longer who I am, but I’m still carrying it. It’s time to be brave and release it.” Hadiiya Barbel
“And the day I got that surgery, I filmed the video. I never did anything with it. But I cried and cried. And I held those breast implants, those silicone bags in my hands, which I still have, and I held them in my hand, and I cried. And I said, wow, this is what I’ve been carrying for so long.” Hadiiya Barbel
Women and Movement
“And when we do that for ourselves, we are not seeking for others to bring it to us. We’re not seeking or begging someone else to give it to us. It’s coming naturally, the energy is moving. And we already know, for me, the power of movement, woman, movement, it could shift worlds, it could shift the entire planet.” Hadiiya Barbel
Suffering from Depression
“What am I not allowing myself? Why am I not allowing myself to feel joy? Why am I focused on the problem? What am I not focused on a solution? Because that’s normally where the emotions are coming from. My attention is there, but I’m not thinking creatively. I’m cut off from this energy, of expansion of new ideas, of new ways of joy and something is happening within me.” Hadiiya Barbel
Medicine Wheel
“But when you put this intention of it being a medicine wheel, and you realize that I am in the center of my world, this circle represents my universe, okay, the orbit is going around me. I’m in the center, and I’m moving the energy around me. I’m controlling the energy with my energy in the middle. So as I’m centered and relaxed and I’m focused, and I’m feeling the energy and the rhythm, so is the wheel moving with me. When I’m off balance, I may drop it.” Hadiiya Barbel
Turning a Woman’s Magic On
“How are we nurturing our bodies? I’m not just talking about the bubble bath. I know, that’s pretty with flowers on it. I think that’s the image of self care. But it’s different. It’s more than that. Are we making time to sit in our sacred space? Are we doing the work that’s needed on a consistent basis? When I say putting into our body, it’s not just food. What are you listening to? Are you listening to podcasts like this that can empower you? Are you over consuming the media? Or are you focusing your attention on the possibilities? So these things to me turn my magic on. Am I creating? When I want to turn my magic on I create something. I don’t have to be a professional painter to become an artist’s eye.” Hadiiya Barbel
