Raised by Women: A Storytelling Podcast
Her Mother Raised Her to Stand on Her Own with Chantal Kur

What do the women who raised us leave behind in us?
In this episode of Raised by Women, I sit down with Chantal Kur, a divorce and family law mediator from South Africa, for a thoughtful conversation about grief, independence, resilience, and the values passed through generations of women.
Chantal shares what it meant to be raised by a strong mother and grandmother, how losing her mother changed the course of her life, and why that loss deepened her commitment to helping others through some of life’s hardest transitions.
We talk about self-reliance, intuition, family legacy, emotional strength, and the kind of wisdom that isn’t learned in textbooks—but through life itself.
This episode is for anyone navigating change, carrying the influence of the women before them, or learning how pain can become purpose.
Sometimes the greatest inheritance is not money or status. It’s strength, values, and the ability to keep going.
