A Conversation with Faye - Faye's Guest Jai Harvey-Yin

Faye Waterman engages in a fascinating conversation with Jay Harvey Yin, a mindset maven, transformational coach, and founder of Fabulosity.

Jay introduces us to her concept of "fabulosity," which she describes as a state of being where one can show up as their true self without hiding any part. Jay explains her journey of growing up in multiple countries, moving schools 11 times, and how these experiences shaped her identity, values, and approach to life. She reflects on the challenges of being constantly uprooted and the influence it had on her ability to connect with others. Through her personal transformation, Jay now helps others embrace authenticity and fully step into their unique selves.
