How One Woman Escaped An Abusive Marriage
My guest is, Kanchan Bhaskar, an Indian-American, first-time author with master’s in social work and a certificate in life coaching. Being a successful Human Resource professional, her expertise is in training, mentoring, counseling, and coaching. She has taken the role of Advocate, speaker, and coach for victims and survivors of domestic violence. Kanchan lives in Chicago.
Kanchan's book, Leaving: Kanchan Bhaskar has always been taught that marriage means companionship, tenderness, and mutual respect—so when she enters into an arranged marriage, this is the kind of partnership she anticipates with her new, seemingly wonderful, husband. But after they marry, she quickly discovers that his warmth is deceptive—that the man beneath the bright, charming façade is actually a narcissistic, alcoholic, and violent man. Ultimately, it is Kanchan alone who must plan her escape toward freedom.
