Kuri in the Media
She Doesn't Settle Podcast
Kuri sits down with Kelly Travis of She Doesn't Settle Podcast to discuss her early experiences in the U.S., her career and how it changed when she left for maternity leave. Kuri goes on to reveal that she never returned to her job after having her children, especially after finding out her son was on the spectrum. She also shares how she struggles as a parent seeing her kids battle with things other children might deem common sense, and how difficult it is for her to find activities or sports that she feels comfortable leaving her son at. This conversation is a vitally important one, filled with insights that we all really need to hear and take to heart.
