Nina Purewal - When Your Darkest Moments Become Your Greatest Work
from The Lesley Hawkins Podcast · host Lesley Hawkins
She was climbing the corporate ladder, working all hours of the day and night, but one question kept surfacing: Is this all there is?So she did something radical by stepping away from everything, sold her house, left her career, and spent a year at a monastery learning about ancient wisdom. What she found in that silence was the emotions she had carried for decades, rooted in an unimaginable childhood trauma, that led to a long and painful work of grief, anger, survivor's guilt, forgiveness.What she chose to do with all of that is what makes her story remarkable.Today she runs a company in the mental wellness space, bringing what she learned in her darkest moments into the workplace. Because we have always known, even if we rarely say it out loud: we don't leave work at the office. And we don't leave home at the door.This is a conversation about what happens when you finally stop running. About the courage it takes to face what's been buried. And about turning the heaviest parts of your story into a lifeline for others.#pivotalmoment #mentalhealth #letthatshitgoSend us Fan MailLesley Hawkins is a keynote speaker with her signature keynote "The Courage To Define and Own Your Worth", workshop developer (The Leadership Mirror and The Leaders Table), leadership strategist, and storyteller who believes growth happens in the everyday moments that define who we become.
