No matter how much pain and no matter there's no way out, there's always something to the adversity that you're going through.
What happens when the freedoms you grew up with are suddenly stripped away? For Poppy Farsijani, this was a harsh reality. As a rebellious American-Iranian teenager in Brooklyn, her life took a drastic turn when her family moved back to Iran. In this episode of 'Grief Recovery Now', Charlene Gorzela sits down with Poppy to discuss the cultural sexism and shaming she faced and how she found her way to healing and forgiveness.
Poppy's story is one of courage and resilience. Imagine being told you can't wear what you want, date who you want, or even choose your religion. Poppy's teenage years in Iran were marked by these restrictions, but instead of breaking her spirit, they ignited a fire within her to fight for her identity and freedom. Her book, 'Shaming My Red Lips', delves into her journey through fear, change, and ultimately, hope.
Charlene and Poppy explore the deep impact of cultural expectations on mental health. They discuss how stereotypes can shape our lives and the importance of self-reflection in breaking free from these constraints. Poppy shares her insights on maintaining hope and finding strength amidst adversity. Whether you're dealing with similar cultural pressures or simply looking for an inspiring story of resilience, this episode offers valuable perspectives.
Tune in to hear how Poppy turned her grief and trauma into a journey of healing and forgiveness, and discover the power of hope in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
