In this episode of Raise It Up, I sit down with Negin Chelehmalzadeh to share her powerful story of survival, resilience, and rebuilding after years of trauma, abuse, and loss. Negin takes us through her early life, the realities of growing up in a restrictive environment, and the devastating experiences that shaped her sense of safety, identity, and worth. She reflects on how isolation, shame, and systemic failures followed her into adulthood, and how small but life changing moments of human care and connection ultimately kept her here.
We also talk about what came next, including motherhood, finding true safety, and turning lived experience into purpose driven entrepreneurship. Negin shares how becoming a mother shifted everything and how healthy partnership redefined love for her. She built PathPal to create community, on demand support, and accessible tools for people navigating grief and loss. Together, we explore the limits of traditional systems, the importance of being seen, and why building scalable businesses and financial power matters for women who want to create lasting change for themselves and others.
Tune in to this episode of Raise It Up, and give it a share to support the conversations that help women raise their lives, their families, and their impact.
