Welcome to Lean In, a podcast that explores ordinary people’s extraordinary lives through honest storytelling. My guests share with me their journey of discovery, laughter, personal experiences and healing.
If you are going through a change or challenging period in life, Lean In is the space where we can surrender to the cycle together.
I am always so deeply inspired by people who use their skills, talents and voice to serve the greater good. Someone who embodies this deeply is Sara Agah Franti. As an emergency room nurse, Sara Agah Franti, has witnessed patients in their most vulnerable moments. She has seen the demands that terminal illness asks of family members and close friends and has pledged her life to taking care of people when they are in times of greatest medical need. Sara says, “In my work and in my own family I’ve seen firsthand the toll that living with life-threatening medical conditions takes on both patients and their loved ones. I’ve also seen how families rally together and grow stronger in these times”.
Sara has traveled and has done relief nursing work all over the world, including Haiti, Philippines and Indonesia. Sara is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of others. Her passion has driven her to pursue her Masters in Public Health, which she hopes to use as a platform to concentrate on health promotion and policy change.
Alongside her husband, Musician Michael Franti, Sara co-founded the “Do it for the love” foundation
Her work, life, and play are influenced by her mantra “Be your best. Serve the greater good. Rock out wherever you are.”
In this episode we talk about Sara’s beliefs, work, cultural background and why she feels it’s so important to always serve the greater good.
We dive into;
