Imagine your mother leaves a note to say she is going for jam but doesn’t return for 6 months.
This was what happened to my guest Zsike Peter.
Zsike had the hardest of childhoods. Born in Transylvania under the Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. After the separation of her parents her stepmother performed cruel acts on her and her sisters that led to her birth mother kidnapping them to flee the country and rescue them.
Later in life the birth of her daughter awoke memories she had long repressed of the child abuse she suffered from her grandfather.
Zsike also gives insights into the world of marketing and how we communicate.
This episode is testament to the strength that Zsike has shown throughout her whole life and to also show the doubters what incredible things she can achieve.
