Are you grieving and healing trauma from cultural expectations, stereotypes, and standards? 

In this episode, I am joined by the wonderful Poppy Farsijani. Poppy is a journalist, author, motivational speaker, founder of Poppy Farsijani Fragrance, and host of “The Poppy Wellness Show”. As a rebellious Amerian-Iranian teenager living in Brooklyn, Poppy’s family decided to relocate back to their native country of Iran. This new life in Iran stripped Poppy of the Western freedoms that she had grown up with - the freedom to choose her religion, choose who she wanted to date, choose what she wanted to wear, and even the freedom to wear red lipstick. Experiencing sexism and shaming during her teenage years led Poppy to fight to maintain her identity and freedom. In Poppy’s book, Shaming My Red Lips, she details her story of fear, change, hope, and how she has risen above. 

Tune in to hear how Poppy has overcome grief and trauma from experiencing sexism and shame in her home country of Iran.
