Book Signing Event

In "The Big, Brown Suitcase: A Woman's Journey to Freedom," readers are provided an inside look at the social, political, and personal obstacles she faced on her journey from the revolution to attempting to flee her country. Kolahdooz hopes to encourage readers to pursue their dreams despite their fears.
"One message I want readers to take away is that courage comes from taking a step toward what they think is right for them, even if it is a small step," Kolahdooz said.
Kolahdooz reveals how she confronted deeply ingrained cultural beliefs and inner conflicts, ultimately discovering an inner strength that enabled her to follow the right path toward a better life. She now dedicates her life to helping individuals unlock their full potential and how to navigate their lives with confidence.
"I want readers to know that their negative beliefs about themselves and the world around them can keep them from pursuing their dreams," Kolahdooz said. "To achieve their dream, readers must recognize and change their old beliefs."

A Spotlight on "The Big Brown Suitcase"

Insights from a Local Newspaper Interview

This month, I had the privilege of being interviewed by our local newspaper, and I am thrilled to share the outcome with you. The focus of the interview was my book, "The Big Brown Suitcase," a heartfelt journey through themes of loss, resilience, and rediscovery.

Inspiration Behind the Book

In the interview, we delved into the inspiration behind the book. I shared personal anecdotes and the emotional undercurrents that fueled its creation. "The Big Brown Suitcase" isn't just a story; it's a reflection of real-life experiences and the human spirit's capacity to overcome challenges. One of the key points discussed was the book's message of hope and healing.
Through its narrative, readers are invited to contemplate their own journeys and find solace in the universal truths woven into its pages.

The Writing Process and Storytelling Significance

Moreover, the interview touched on the process of writing and the significance of storytelling in my life. I spoke about how writing this book was a cathartic experience, allowing me to explore profound themes and connect with readers on a deeper level.
I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to share "The Big Brown Suitcase" with a wider audience through this interview. It's my hope that this book will resonate with readers, offering comfort, inspiration, and a renewed sense of empathy for the human experience.
If you haven't had a chance to read "The Big Brown Suitcase" yet, I invite you to explore its pages and embark on a journey that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit. Thank you for your ongoing support and for joining me on this literary adventure.
Warm regards

  • Testimonials

    "I came to Canada as a refugee, escaping war in my country with no preparation and nowhere to go. Life here was overwhelming; I had no confidence, and no connections, and spent my first days living in a shelter. Everything felt hopeless. When I started working with Parvin, I wasn't expecting much just someone to talk to, maybe get some advice. But after our first meeting, things started to change. She helped me rebuild my self-awareness, and face the traumas I had never spoken about, and most importantly, she helped me regain my confidence. Together, we set realistic goals and worked towards rebuilding my life. Now, I've moved out of the shelter, rented a place, returned to high school, and recently, I was accepted to college to study computer programming. None of this would have been possible without her kindness, encouragement, and unwavering support. Parvin gave me hope when I had none. She helped me piece my life back together, and I am forever grateful."

  • Testimonials

    "Parvin coached me to find myself when I was in a personal crisis. I immigrated to a new land with my husband and five year old son and built my new life. After the first few years of settlement had passed, I came up against an even bigger challenge: in order to change my perspective about myself I had to release many internal blocks.
    I could now feel them but I was not brave enough to face up to them. In such confusing and somehow scary period, Parvin offered me her service as a life coach. We started our session in a beautiful spring afternoon which I can visualize clearly even now after several years.
    Parvin was very, gentle, and considerate; took the steps very carefully and slowly which allowed me to become comfortable. Since I was not even clear about my challenge, I did not know what to talk about and where to start. Parvin was able to guide me through the discussion to help me discover unknown parts of myself. These sessions became the best part of my daily life and I looked forward to going to each next one.
    I would describe the process as my feeling as a little girl who has been lost in a garden then a guide suddenly appears to help her find her path.... Along this path she has a lot to discover, one thing after the other; some realities are hard to believe and some are very encouraging to realize.
    When our sessions ended, a new version of me had been revealed. The challenging journey of my life continues but without Parvin's great help it would not be as pleasant. Thanks to my amazing life coach."

  • Testimonials

    " used to be a chronic people-pleaser. I didn't realize how much I matter too! As a woman, we seem to be pre-programmed to put others first. I really wanted to improve how I perceive myself, and how I interacted with others. Parvin really helped me strengthen my boundaries, and to value and take care of myself. She has inspired me to have strong boundaries and be loving to others...like a warm campfire, inviting, and friendly, with a circle of stones around the fire, representing the boundaries... Parvin likes to use imagery to symbolize what healthy boundaries look like. With healthy boundaries, I am able to really value myself more and have more meaningful relationships with others. Parvin is compassionate, non-judgmental, intuitive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about me succeeding. The coaching experience with Parvin has been life-changing. Thank you so much, Parvin! Much love! - "

  • Testimonials

    “Before I lived as she describes, a sunflower blooming in the shade. Then I met Parvin. A kind soul, ready to give you the tools you need to open up your heart, mind, and soul. I am eternally grateful for her caring nature and support. I always feel like she sees the best in me, and that is what you need to have faith. She holds you accountable, giving support and increased awareness, a lighthouse when you're out to sea. A structured guide to allow you to reveal what your dreams could and should look like. I'm so grateful we met.”

  • Testimonials

    "After receiving coaching program from Parvin, I can control my emotions better and not become impulsive. I can plan better to deal with issues. I am now more considerate towards people. I now understand people come from different background and capacities and have to accept them and tailor my approach. I feel I am much more positive and acceptance of others. My coach is really warm and friendly, and she understands my culture a lot. She is very compassionate."

  • Testimonials

    Parvin has a calm and accepting presence. She put me at ease instantly with her authenticity and grace. She motivated me to think critically by actively listening to what I was able to communicate, and then asking the right questions in a way that I could process them and find answers. When I was struggling with the techniques she was teaching me, Parvin was open to explore different ways to accomplish my goals. I enjoyed my sessions with her and still feel enriched by them. Thank you Parvin!
