From Law to Travel to True Purpose with Riya Kurian | Ep 252

This week's "At her Career Crossroads" insight comes from Riya Kurian. She says – "I realized every time I had done something brave or courageous, I really felt a lot of fear. So to me, fear and bravery are the same thing." Here are 3 reasons why you should listen to this episode: You'll hear what it really feels like to walk away from a successful law career to pursue a calling that won't leave you alone — and why that fear might actually be your green light. Riya gets real about the difference between stability and fulfillment, especially for high-achieving women who feel trapped by "the right path." If you've ever been labeled or boxed in — and started to question if those labels were ever really you — Riya's journey will help you see what's possible when you let go of old definitions and trust your intuition. Riya Kurian is the founder of Next Horizon, a boutique travel planning company that creates personalized, meaningful trips across Europe and beyond. After years of solo travel and a spontaneous teaching stint in France, Riya left behind her corporate law career to follow a path that felt more aligned — and turned her love for travel into a thriving business.
