Sana shares what it was like growing up in a culture where arranged marriage was expected and how it led her into years of emotional shutdown, loneliness, and survival-mode living. She opens up about the pressure to please her family, the guilt she carried for wanting more, and the moment she realized the life she was living was slowly erasing her identity. Her story brings forward the quiet battles women face when cultural expectations, marriage, motherhood, and personal truth collide. Sana explains how numbing her pain, hiding behind perfection, and trying to hold a family together on her own pushed her into a breaking point that changed everything.
Her transformation began when she turned toward therapy, self-help, and spirituality, rebuilding her confidence piece by piece and repairing her relationship with her family through honesty and accountability. Sana shares how choosing herself reshaped her future, opened the door to a healthier life for her children, and inspired her to become a coach for women who feel trapped by expectation or fear. Her story proves that empowerment is possible at any stage of life and that reclaiming your voice can change everything.
