"I escaped a literal war in Iran, only to find myself trapped in a different kind of battlefield: addiction, emotional abuse, and the suffocating grip of narcissism."

In this episode of Busy Living Sober "It's Bizzy," I’m sitting down with the incredible Azadeh Atzberger. Azadeh is an Iranian-American survivor of war and emotional abuse who has become an icon of resilience and feminine leadership. With 24 years of sobriety and over a decade of high-level coaching, she brings a unique blend of "compassion and fire" to the reclamation of personal power.

We go deep into what happens when your survival instincts, forged in a war zone, meet the complex trauma of toxic relationships. We discuss:

  • The Shadow of Narcissism: Recognizing its impact on your recovery and sense of self.
  • Building Your Borders: Why setting boundaries is a survival requirement for mental health.
  • The Power With-IN: How Azadeh’s publishing platform helps women rewrite the narrative of their lives.
  • Spiritual Resilience: Finding a connection to something bigger when your world feels like it’s collapsing.

If you’ve ever felt silenced by cultural or personal oppression, this conversation is your permission slip to take your power back.
