Tasmin Carter: Reclaiming Her Life

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Tasmin Carter works as an executive assistant at a financial services firm. But her story to stability and success was full of obstacles. A survivor of childhood abuse, an unhealthy marriage, and stage three colon cancer, Tasmin’s story is one of incredible resilience, and we're incredibly thankful to Tasmin for sharing her story with us for the first time publicly. On this episode of She Pivots, Tasmin recounts the secret of her father’s affair, the aftermath of the heart-wrenching decision to put her child up for adoption at 17, the decision to leave her husband, her courageous battle with colon cancer, and the creation of her nonprofit "Forward Hope," which helps kids aging out of the foster care system. And don't miss the special bonus content at the end of the episode, where you can hear from the woman who nominated Tasmin - her boss!

 

She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success. To learn more about Tasmin, follow us on Instagram @ShePivotsThePodcast or visit shepivotsthepodcast.com.
