CC 28 | Mar Kushner: Survive to Thrive One Step at a Time
Manage episode 436394554 series 3517842
In this episode of Consuming Careers, we’re meeting with Mar Kushner. Now, you’ve probably never heard of Mar Kushner, but I’ve been working with Mar for the last 4 years, but it wasn’t until 2 years ago that I got a chance to hear her inspiring story of perseverance. Raised in Pakistan, a casualty of an arranged marriage that brought her to the US and into an abusive relationship, escaping back to Pakistan into cultural isolation due to her divorce, and ultimately a last chance opportunity to start over alone in the US with a plane ticket, an education, and just $300 in her pocket. Although you might hear from Mar an unassuming tone of modesty or diffidence, I suspect it is more likely a veneer of quiet confidence that covers her raw determination and steadfast grit.
I think you’ll be encouraged by Mar’s story, and you probably won’t forget her name anytime soon.
