48 : Choosing Who You Want To Be with Mounira Latrache

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host, Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here.

On today's episode. I'm joined by my friend Mounira Latrache.

Mounira is the founder of Connected Business, which helps companies and individuals develop self-leadership and co-leadership, which empowers them to live more meaningful, connected, and compassionate lives.

Mounira brings 15 plus years of leadership experience at international brands like Google, Red Bull and BMW. Mounira was a pioneer of Google's mindfulness community and it’s success led her to teach mindfulness and train teams at other companies around the world.

Mounira is a member of The Mindful Leadership Institute and internationally certified Search Inside Yourself facilitator, and she gives mindfulness and compassion, keynotes and training all over the world.

Mounira's own mindfulness practice gave her the tools to become a more effective leader and she is passionate about empowering others to lead more meaningful, connected, and compassionate lives.

In this conversation Mounira shares her journey through life and  how an insight that came out of suffering of not fitting in as a young person, helped her to realize that she could craft and create her own life and way of showing up in the world.

And that has guided her to really design her life in a way that is meaningful and purposeful for her. And she's brought this to bear both in the corporate world and now as an entrepreneur, leading trainings and working with companies to help them develop more self-leadership and co-leadership within their teams.

And we really dive deep into these ideas of self-leadership and co-leadership as well.

I really enjoyed this conversation with my friend Mounira and I hope that you enjoy it as well.

PS: Introducing the… 🔥 FIRE Starter Group Coaching Program

You did the “money” part. You saved, invested, and built real options. But if you’re being honest… FU money alone isn’t enough—and you might still feel stuck in “one more year syndrome,” unclear on what you actually want next.

In 10 weeks or less, we’ll help you get clear on what you want—and start living it now—using envisioning, mindfulness, and practical mini-experiments (not endless overthinking).

🔥 WHO I’m creating this for

This is for you if you’re at or near FI (Coast FI or full FIRE) and:

• You feel stuck after “doing everything right,” but you’re not sure what you’re optimizing for anymore.
• You’re caught between freedom and overwhelm (“I could do anything… so I do nothing”).
• You want clarity and momentum—but you don’t want someone to tell you what to do.

🔥 WHAT we’ll do together (over 10 weeks)

In a small group (mastermind-style), you’ll:

• Get clear on what you actually want (beyond expectations, comparison, and “shoulds”).
• Create a big, meaningful vision for your next chapter—one that fits who you are now.
• Learn the brain science behind envisioning (why it works, and how to use it).
• Turn yo...
