Embracing a Love-Based Mindset with Raha Francis (Part 1)

Raha Francis is a writer and strategic advisor for entrepreneurs who has navigated several career pivots by paying attention to what makes her come alive. In her thoughtful newsletter, she writes about self-compassion, tapping into your inner child, and achieving a life well-lived by engaging in work and activities that help you come alive. Her career has encompassed working in intellectual and property law in New York City, moving into a management consulting role, and working in Canadian retail strategy and tiny tech startups. Today, she lives in Vancouver and works as a strategic advisor at the Business Development Bank of Canada where she focuses on empowering entrepreneurs. Starting our conversation, Raha shares why she marvels at her childhood and the combination of fear-based and love-based experiences that characterize it. We dive into what motivated her to pursue her studies at Harvard Law, and what the first ten years of her career were like before she questioned her ‘why’. Raha goes on to share what it meant for her to create a space where she could find the answers that mattered to her, and much more. This is a two-part episode series pulled from the archives and recorded more than nine months ago. Our hope is always that you leave the conversation inspired, motivated, and excited about your journey. We have no doubt that today’s episode will do exactly that. Thanks for tuning in!
