#5 Asma Begum - when people keep putting you down, you start to believe it

#5 Asma Begum

In this episode I’m speaking with Asma Begum, Founder of Soul Sisters supporting domestic violence survivors. We met last year at the WomanKind North event for International Women’s Day and I sat and listened to Asma tell her story on stage and I felt so moved by her story that I knew I wanted her to be a guest on the show.

Asma is a British Bangladeshi single mum now living in North UK and is a survivor of domestic abuse, having fled an abusive marriage into a women’s refuge with her young son. She has worked within the Corporate care sector for over 10 years and she now delivers coaching and motivational speeches about the Domestic Abuse.

Over the last two and half years Asma has joined groups supporting female survivors of domestic abuse, both online and in person. Using her own experiences to inspire and motivate other women that are also wishing to turn their lives around from the negative impact on health, well-being and happiness to positively overcome traumas of domestic abuse.

Asma shares how her family migrated from Bangladesh and how they had high expectations for her and how that was where Imposter Syndrome started for her.

She also talks about her experience in the workplace as well as an abusive relationship had an impact on what she believed about herself and how she has broke away from what others told her.

We talk about the labels that others give you as well as the labels we give ourselves and why it’s important to challenge those and start to peel them away.

She also talks about how she studied law and instead of following the career path that her dad expected her to follow, life events took her to the work she does now, supporting survivors of domestic abuse.

I know I say this every time but I loved this conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed talking with Asma.
