Lawrence Loh on Connecting with Others and Your Inner Voice
In this week’s episode, I have the wonderful opportunity to chat with Dr. Lawrence Loh. Lawrence is a public health and physician leader, a lifelong learner and a self-described extreme extrovert. Our conversation focuses on connection; both with others and with ourselves. When it comes to connecting with others, Lawrence offers some simple tips. We also talk about rebalancing after crisis fatigue, getting in touch with your inner voice and defining your own identity. And we bond over our mutual belief that most things work out and that most people are good. As Lawrence says, “it’s just mentally easier” to believe that!

We then take our time building Manish’s equation, which is fantastic because it produces many interesting and insightful discussions around how to put family first, how to set up boundaries around work, why nature is so central to our wellbeing and how food can be a source of creativity and connection.

Wouldn’t it be incredible to have a purpose as heroic as that of Manish Raizada? However, the reality is that the world would be a boring place if we all had exactly the same purpose.

We also cover topics related to entrepreneurship and motherhood.
