Ep15 Emma Slade: From Investment Banking to Becoming a Buddhist Nun

Limitless Grit Podcast

Emma Slade was born in England and was educated at universities in Cambridge and London. She had an exciting international career in finance until a life-changing event in Jakarta, Indonesia. After that event, she resigned from her financial career and began traveling and exploring yoga and meditation. Since then she has taught yoga and meditation for over 15 years and continued to deepen a lifelong interest in Buddhism. She visited Bhutan for the first time in 2011 which led to her studying Buddhism with a Buddhist lama and, eventually, led to her ordination in Bhutan as a Buddhist nun. In 2015 she set up the UK charity – Opening Your Heart to Bhutan – to help children in Bhutan. She continues to travel to Bhutan frequently to manage these charity projects and continue her Buddhist studies. Her first book, Set Free, detailing her inspirational story, was published in April 2017. All proceeds from the book will be donated to the charity.
