#27 Zahra Raheb: Afghan Family's Journey from Soviet Invasion to American Dream

What happens when a successful Afghan family loses everything overnight and must rebuild from nothing in a foreign country? In this powerful interview, I sit down with my mother-in-law Zahra Raheb to explore one of the most remarkable survival stories you'll ever hear. From Soviet invasion and refugee camps to single motherhood and military service in combat zones, Zahra's journey reveals how ordinary people develop extraordinary resilience when life strips away everything familiar. We uncover her unique philosophy on raising independent children, why she believes complaining destroys progress, and how witnessing death in war zones transformed her perspective on daily problems. This raw conversation challenges viewers to reconsider their own obstacles and discover the mental frameworks that turn victims into survivors.
