When Stories Echo: How to Listen with Courage
What does it mean to carry a homeland in your body - through land, food, memory, grief, joy, and story?<br /><br />In this episode, Gayathri Shukla sits down with Dr. Izzeddin Hawamda, a Palestinian educator, storyteller, peace and conflict scholar, and founder of Sadaa – صدى, a storytelling initiative rooted in personal narrative, community dialogue, and human connection.Together, they explore what it means to tell stories that are often flattened by headlines, conflict, or politics. Izzeddin shares memories of Palestine and reflects on storytelling as a bridge for humanization - not only as a communication tool, but as a powerful act of dignity, resistance, and belonging.<br /><br />This conversation invites listeners to consider the responsibility of story listening: what changes when we stop asking people to make their stories more comfortable, and instead allow ourselves to be moved toward deeper care, reflection, and action? At the heart, it is about the stories that echo across displacement, the kitchens that become places of belonging, and the courage it takes to keep telling the truth with love.<br /><br />Resources mentioned:<br /><ul><li>IG: Sadaa.echoes</li><li><a href="https://www.izzeddinhawamda.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr. Izzeddin Hawamda’s storytelling and education work</a></li><li>www.campfirekinship.com</li></ul>

Leading Through Story: Immigrant Women in Engineering | Claudia Gomez-Villeneuve and Sara Mighan
What does it mean to lead through story—especially when your path into engineering has been shaped by family expectations, immigrant identity, gender, caregiving, language, and the pressure to keep proving yourself?<br /><br />Recorded live at the CCWESTT Conference in Calgary, this special Hearth 2 Heart episode features a panel conversation with Claudia Gomez-Villeneuve, Sara Mighan, and host Gayathri Shukla on the lived experiences of immigrant women in engineering. Together, they explore what often sits beneath the surface of career advancement: being told women “don’t belong” on site, returning from maternity leave to a demotion or vanished role, discovering pay gaps, learning the unwritten “politics of engineering,” and why immigrant women need better pathways to P.Eng. recognition.<br /><br />This episode is a reminder that gender equity in engineering cannot be separated from immigration and belonging—and that sharing our stories can help make the invisible rules visible for those coming next.<br /><br />Resources mentioned in episode:<br /><ul><li><a href="https://conference.ccwestt.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CCWESTT 2026 Conference: Beyond Boundaries</a></li><li><a href="https://campfirekinship.com/storytelling-impact/book-2/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Campfire Kinship book The Fires We Lit</a><a href="https://campfirekinship.com/storytelling-impact/hearth-2-heart-podcast/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a></li><li><a href="https://www.apega.ca/about-apega/publications/salary-survey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">APEGA Salary Survey page</a></li><li><a href="https://wcecalgary.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Women in Consulting Engineering Calgary</a></li><li><a href="https://wcevancouver.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Women in Consulting Engineering Vancouver</a></li><li><a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Landed-Transformative-Stories-Canadian-Immigrant/dp/B0B7PSHKMR/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Landed: Transformative Stories of Immigrant Women</a></li><li><a href="https://www.lotusstemm.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lotus STEMM</a></li></ul>

Reclaiming Your Worth Through Telling Your Story | Serena Arora
How do you tell your story—when the world keeps asking you what you are, instead of who you are? In this episode of Hearth 2 Heart, Gayathri Shukla sits down with author, yoga therapist, and Ayurvedic practitioner Serena Arora to explore a deeply personal journey of identity, lineage, and coming home to oneself. Drawing from her book Unbound, Serena shares what it means to grow up navigating mixed identity, cultural expectations, and the lifelong search for belonging. <br /><br />Together, they unpack:<br /><ul><li>The tension between “immigrit” and “immiguilt”—and how grit and guilt both shape our choices</li><li>What it means to carry (and eventually put down) the invisible “backpack” </li><li>Why belonging is not something to <i>become</i>, but something to just <i>be</i></li><li>How generational patterns live in us—and how we begin to consciously shift them</li><li>How telling your story can help you find alignment</li></ul>This conversation is both grounding and expansive—a reminder that belonging is not found in a place, a title, or a path…but in the quiet, ongoing practice of returning to yourself.<br /><br />Resources mentioned:<br /><ul><li>Serena Arora’s book, <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Unbound-Immigrant-Daughters-Unraveling-Reclaiming-ebook/dp/B0FQ381KK1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Unbound: An Immigrant Daughter’s Journey of Reckoning, Unraveling Shame, and Reclaiming Her Worth</a></li><li>www.serenaarora.com</li><li>www.campfirekinship.com</li></ul>
