Matt sits down with the remarkable Rukshana Triem, founder of Firmina Foundation and Women’s Lifestyle Coaching. Born amidst the chaos of war in Mozambique, Rukshana’s powerful story of survival, displacement, and resilience will leave you deeply inspired. She shares how her early experiences living in refugee camps shaped her unwavering commitment to give back to the communities that raised her. Together, Matt and Rukshana dive into the real meaning of service, leadership born through adversity, and the tools she uses today to help women worldwide reclaim their purpose. If you’ve ever wondered how hardship can fuel a life of mission-driven impact, this conversation is for you.Chapters:00:00:00 - Stepping Into the Eternal Optimist Journey00:01:42 - Rukhsana Triem: From Refugee Camps to World Changer00:03:22 - Battling the Odds: Life Inside a Refugee Camp00:05:45 - Starting Over: The Grit of Single Motherhood00:11:01 - Turning Anger Into Growth: A Healing Journey00:15:00 - Lighting the Way: Empowering Women Across Africa00:18:40 - Smart Travel Insights for Emerging Destinations00:19:00 - Finding Health, Purpose, and New Beginnings00:22:24 - Building Dreams: Schools That Change Lives00:29:10 - Village Life vs. City Life: Realities of Africa00:31:25 - Coaching, Leadership, and Living with Purpose00:33:38 - Books, Beats, and Building a Stronger Mind00:35:46 - Parting Wisdom: Staying Eternally OptimisticLinks And Resources:Firmina FoundationWomen’s Lifestyle CoachingRukshana Triem on LinkedInThanks so much for joining us this week.
