Imagine witnessing a tragedy so profound it alters the course of your entire life. That’s exactly what happened to Iman Gatti. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Iman's early years were filled with love and promise until a horrific event shattered her world. Just before her seventh birthday, she saw her father murder her mother. This traumatic event left her effectively orphaned, as her father was imprisoned, and she was thrust into the foster care system.
The following 12 years were marked by instability, neglect, and further abuse as she moved from one foster home to another. Despite these overwhelming odds, Iman didn’t just survive—she thrived. Today, she's a certified grief recovery specialist, transformational speaker, and bestselling author. Her work focuses on helping others navigate their own grief and trauma, boosting self-esteem, and embracing their true selves.
Iman's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of healing even from the deepest wounds. Tune in to hear her incredible journey and find inspiration in her strength and determination.
