In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we are joined by Sinthujah Wimalathas, founder of SANARAS Coaching. Sinthujah shares her powerful journey from a 15-year career in the high-pressure environment of financial services to becoming a holistic performance and well-being coach. She reveals how her own experiences with burnout and a lack of purpose led her to pursue a master's in psychology and neuroscience, ultimately inspiring her to bridge the gap between the corporate world and mental health support. Sinthujah discusses the critical importance of awareness, the bi-directional link between mental and physical health, and why human connection will always be irreplaceable, even in the age of AI.

Sinthujah delves into the mission of SANARAS Coaching, which is dedicated to helping corporate professionals move beyond burnout to discover a life of purpose, balance, and joy. She outlines her three primary client profiles: seasoned professionals feeling stagnant, those seeking a career exit strategy, and aspiring entrepreneurs. The conversation explores her effective, organic lead generation strategy on LinkedIn, the value of word-of-mouth referrals, and her plans to scale by working directly with corporations to create more supportive and intentional work environments. Sinthujah leaves listeners with invaluable advice for anyone at the start of their entrepreneurial journey: you don't need to have all the answers to get started.
