With two young children, no English skills, no Money, and no support system, Soodabeh Mokry faced a choice: surrender to despair or forge an entirely new identity. Her journey from that breaking point to becoming a registered nurse with nearly 40 years of experience, bestselling author, and transformational coach offers profound lessons in resilience and purpose-finding.
