Narine Semerdjian | Being Authentically You: Living Life Well After Molestation, Rape, & Bullying

"It's important as parents to give your kids (older teenagers, i.e. 19yo) the room and space to be their own authentic selves." - Narine Semerdjian

EPISODE OVERVIEW: 
Molested as a child, bullied, depressed, and suicidal as a teen, today's guest talks about how she wanted to give up at times, but something inside kept her going. Then at 19, she starts learning to become her own person and not let the restraints and confines of society control her. While her journey has had ups and downs, she helps us understand the path from pain to healing. How it may look different for us all, but the core commonalities as the same. Ladies and Gentlemen listen now to this week's episode of the Remarkable People Podcast, the Narine Semerdjian story!

GUEST BIO:
Armenian-American's are known for their close-knit family culture, warm hospitality, and proud traditions. But proclamations of sexual pleasure, much less businesses in the sex toy industry? Such things aren't exactly common in most Armenian homes.

David & Narine Semerdjian run their business from LA, a melting pot of cultures that are often just beginning to accept progressive attitudes towards sexual health. From the start, the married couple decided to focus on products that would present the best possible picture of the sex toy space for more inhibited newcomers, while also keeping up with the latest trends in healthy product materials and manufacturing to please their consumers.

The Semerdjians do their best to simplify and reduce the overwhelm as well as the shame factor when it comes to product selection and purchase. Let their magnetic personalities light up your interest as you take the opportunity to listen to them passionately share their expertise with you.
