In this new episode we delve into the extraordinary journey of a remarkable Kurdish refugee Donna Sherwani who crossed the Indian Ocean with her family in a fishing boat in the hopes of seeking a better life in Australia. 

Donna's life began in the shadow of adversity, as her family fled the brutal "Anfal" ethnic-cleansing campaign in the late 1980s, during one of the darkest chapters in Kurdish history. Arriving in Australia as a teenager, Donna embarked on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. She not only redefined her name but also her destiny. She is a refugee advocate, a lawyer, a teacher, an aspiring writer, an entrepreneur and a CEO. 

In our episode, we will delve into Donna's path from being a refugee to Lawyer, as she continues to seek opportunities to change the narrative on racial discrimination in local and international policies. She is also using her work to create a positive impact in society by using fashion as her tool to promote social justice and empower the next generation by creating cruelty free, vegan, ethical and sustainable designer bags. 

Donna will also share the surprising similarities between Korean and Kurdish cultures and her love story that spanned continents. Join us for a heartwarming and thought-provoking conversation with Donna Sherwani, a true embodiment of resilience and the power of love in transcending borders.

In this episode, we tackle the pervasive issue of self-doubt, which often becomes the biggest barrier to unlocking one's true potential. Many individuals inadvertently hinder their own progress, attempting to combat their inner critic with tools like determination and willpower, only to find it exacerbates the problem.

Instead of battling the inner critic, she uses different approaches to initiate peaceful dialogue that addresses the root causes of obstacles. This transformation liberates individuals, allowing them to grasp the life opportunities they were meant for.

With a decade of experience, Laura now works one-on-one with clients, reshaping their perception of what's achievable in life. Join us to discover this transformative approach to self-doubt and learn how it can unlock your true potential.
