What does it take to rebuild your life from the ground up - after being told you don’t have one?In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dr. Samra Zafar, award-winning keynote speaker, doctor, charity founder, author and WXN Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women - to talk about her journey from being a child bride to becoming one of Canada’s most powerful voices.Samra shares what it was like to live under control and isolation, how she fought her way back to education, and why it took nearly a decade to finally stand in her own power. We talk about how patriarchy is systemic — baked into how girls are raised, how women are treated, and how cultures (especially South Asian ones) groom us to stay small.We also talk about the dangerous glamorization of the “tradwife” movement in North America - and why, from someone who actually lived that life, it’s nothing but a rebranded form of control.This is one of those conversations that will leave you in awe. Samra is the very definition of Bold Hearted. She didn’t just survive - she rewrote the script, and inspires you to do the same.Her new book, Unconditional, is out now - a story of liberation, resilience, and reclaiming your voice.You can learn more about Dr Samra Zafar here: https://www.samrazafar.com/Liked this episode?
