Ep. 08 Leila Khan, Childhood abuse, refusing arranged marriage & living a life true to herself

In this episode Leila is my guest and she shares her story of how she felt growing up in an environment where she didn't feel safe, her experiences of child abuse and deciding to not accept arranged marriage.
Leila is a change maker and carved out life on her own terms.
Learning that by studying French at University would give her the opportunity to live in France for a year as part of her studies, Leila had a lightbulb moment where she realised that this would be her chance at freedom and escape from a life that she knew she didn't want for herself.
We talk openly and compassionately about growing up in a home where you don't feel like you can be who you really are, leaving home at a young age in the name of what you believe to be true and right, cultural differences for females growing up, beliefs and mindset around money and what it means to feel rich and poor.
This is a longer episode than normal because we covered some fantastic thought provoking topics which I know will bring value to you and will support an open minded self observation within each of us.
The art of connecting come from when we lean in to understanding how another person feels. Our experiences may not be the same but underneath our experiences we all have the human need to be seen, heard, understood and valued for who we are as we are.
Getting to know Leila and the conversation that we had had all of this and more.
