The Story Behind the Numbers: Christina Sjahli on Empowering Women Founders and Financial Clarity

What if numbers weren’t just data—but stories waiting to be understood? 

In this episode of Because People Matter, Dr. Helen Fagan sits down with Christina Sjahli, founder of Profit Reimagined, to explore how financial clarity can empower women founders and social impact leaders. From leaving Indonesia at 16 to building a purpose-driven business in Canada, Christina shares her powerful journey and how it shaped her belief that profit, people, and purpose must work together. 

Together, they unpack the hidden mental load founders carry—what Christina calls “invisible cognitive strain”—and how unspoken financial uncertainty can impact leadership, decision-making, and team well-being. This episode offers a fresh perspective on finance, reframing numbers as tools for clarity, confidence, and growth. 

A must-listen for entrepreneurs, leaders, and anyone seeking to align business success with meaningful impact.
