    This week, Aashi Arora sat down with Preethi Raghu—COO, equity advocate, and healthcare changemaker—for a powerful conversation about burnout, legacy, and leading with integrity in high-stakes spaces.From overseeing care for 120,000+ patients to healing from the toll of traditional success, Preethi shares how redefining leadership—from the inside out—has helped her build systems that center people, not just performance.With refreshing honesty, she opens up about her immigrant roots, her journey through burnout, and the courage it takes to lead with heart in complex environments.

    💡Leadership Lessons from Preethi Raghu’s Episode:

    🔸 Burnout Is a Signal, Not a Weakness. Success without sustainability cost Preethi her energy and clarity. Her healing journey began when she finally listened to what her body and spirit were telling her.

    🔸 Healing Is a Leadership Practice. Preethi reminds us that inner work—therapy, rest, reflection—isn’t separate from leadership. It is leadership.

    🔸 Legacy Starts With People. Whether it’s staff, patients, or family, Preethi measures success by how people feel when she leaves the room—seen, supported, and stronger.

    🔸 Equity Isn’t Just a Value—It’s an Operating Model. From expanding clinics to launching care innovations, Preethi leads with the belief that access and dignity must be built into every decision.

    🔸 Bring Your Whole Self. Her evolution as a leader proves that you don’t have to fragment your identity to fit the mold. Every part of you—immigrant daughter, strategist, healer—is part of the solution.
