“I never want my daughters to feel their ceiling of achievement is beneath a man.”On the premiere episode of Raising Ourselves, Erin chats with good friend, Dadli - woman, wife, mother, entrepreneur, and liberator of orgasms. Dadli's life is a testimate to the everyday ability to "Advance Despite Adversity" and while this episode is a long one, I chose not to split it as the conversation was too good to break up. In this episode, we discuss:Fleeing an oppressive regime as a child during the Iranian Revolution of the early 80sNavigating life as a refugee and growing up within a culture clash of the Western worldThe loss of her father and being raised by a widowed mother while living in the shadow of her brotherRaising daughters who embrace and appreciate the beauty of their Persian heritage while denouncing the patriarchal oppression and atrocities of Iran’s current leadership that have now sparked a second revolutionUnabashedly standing firm in awareness of her worth and abilities in utilizing the tools she’s learned in motherhood to climb the corporate ladder with freedom in her workplaceHer wish for women to embrace their femininity, sexual liberation, and ownership of pleasureWe touch on A LOT, but my favorite takeaway from my conversation with Dadli is the gift of her wisdom gained by standing within the liberation and empowerment of self-love, intimacy, and the power of owning being a woman in a male-dominated world.
