Career Congregation is your weekly gathering for all things career—a space to explore the highs, the lows, and the incredible stories of people who’ve navigated career challenges—from rock bottoms to remarkable comebacks.
In this week’s episode, we’re joined by the brilliant and inspiring Farzana Ali, a sound therapist, wellness expert, and author of Sound Healing: How to Use Sound to Beat Stress & Anxiety. Once an editor at a major publishing company, Farzana shares how the fast pace and pressure of her career led her to reevaluate how she was living—and how discovering sound healing became part of a much-needed shift in her life.
Farzana now combines her background in journalism with the science behind sound healing to make the practice more accessible and easier to understand for a wider audience. She bridges the gap between holistic healing and evidence-based approaches, drawing on training in trauma-sensitive practice to offer simple, supportive ways for people to slow down and reconnect with themselves. Her approach is grounded in science, and her mission is clear: to make sound healing available to as many people as possible.
This is an episode about healing from burnout, transitioning into a slower and more supportive career, and helping others do the same. We talk about the cultural glorification of overwork, the need for rest, and how sound healing can help us tap into a deeper sense of safety and presence.
