About this listen

What does it mean to grow up female in Iran, where religion, war, and strict gender roles dictate every part of life?

My guest shares her story of getting out, navigating a male-dominated culture, pushing back against unfair marriage laws, and ultimately rewriting her own marriage contract to protect her freedom.

When she was 24, she managed to get out of Iran and move abroad. She quickly found her voice by launching a bilingual radio show in Poland, broadcasting in both Farsi and English which had never been done. From there, she grew her following to thousands, developed a marketing career and got married (in Iran!).

This episode is all about the courage it takes to turn silence and toxic gender norms into power. It's a reminder to live the life you truly know you deserve, despite all obstacles in your way.
