In this episode of The Muslim Pod, we sit down with Zarmina, an incoming OBGYN resident at the University of Toronto and a Calgary-raised international medical graduate, to explore how she navigated divorce while completing medical school in Pakistan, broke through the stigma her community rarely talks about, and found her way back to herself and to Canada through faith, grit, and an unwillingness to let go of her dream.
