Unlearning the Life She Never Chose — with Dr. Samra Zafar
This is one of the most powerful and important conversations we’ve had on Fry Your Chickens. Dr. Samra Zafar shares her extraordinary journey—from escaping an abusive arranged marriage to becoming a bestselling author, human rights advocate, and future psychiatrist.
We explore her first book, A Good Wife, and her newest release, Unconditional, diving deep into the process of unlearning inherited beliefs and reclaiming joy. Samra offers wisdom on trauma recovery, mental health, and the everyday courage it takes to rewrite your story.
Plus: self-care as a vaccine, finding joy, Brave Beginnings, and of course... whether she’d take on one horse-sized chicken or a hundred chicken-sized horses.
